Well said. Kills me to think what was lost in those Mayan texts, or the library of Alexandria.

A lot was lost. Our linear theories that it all just "started to happen" about 9,000 years ago is pretty silly really. Why so many find it threatening to even suggest that there were some advanced civilizations in the past is a mystery to me.

KauaiOrca said: Chariots of the Gods was written by Erich Van Daniken and not be be a jerk, but your comment is typical of someone criticizing people that do painstaking research on a topic like this. You haven't read anything by him yet you say "you're just looking for things that may support your claims no matter how vague the supporting data." So admittedly, you've never read Hancock, probably don't even know who he is and you've drawn some kind of conclusion on his work.
He has spent years researching the topic of the Pyramids and other sites that tie into a bigger theory of a series of meteor strikes roughly 12,000 years ago that destroyed an advanced civilization that was then fragmented and ultimately spread out to start a number of civilizations around the world creating the mythologies that all share certain elements whether it be Egypt, Peru or North America.
I know who wrote chariots of the gods, I clearly stated that I have read nothing by hancock, I did make a generalized statement about these authors that claim that santa clause and jesus were mushrooms, that the pyramids were built by aliens, etc... you're saying that hancock doesnt look for things that support his theories yet his ideas consist of things such as an advanced mother culture that split after a catastrophic event which birthed all of these other so called advanced cultures such as the egyptians, mayans/incas, etc... maybe you're right, maybe he's just pulling it right out of his ass because none of his ideas seem to pan out when you start looking at what the archaeologists have to say.
anyone that 'connects the dots' to link various things to support their theories is either tossing shit together and adding their own filler or they're just completely full of shit and some people buy into it because it's the kind of thing they want to believe

why are you blaming the christians, the moors destroyed the library of alexandria, the mayan inquisition resulted in the desruction of 27 books which left 3 behind which we now call the mayan codexes, so apparently the mayans only had 30 books in total, for such an advanced culture do you think that to be a little odd?

The wheel was invented in eurasia, and only in one place. It was not made by multiple cultures. Plus the mayans lived in a jungle(which wouldn't make sense for having wheels) and they had no work animals like oxen or horses.

Europe at the time had few books as well. It was probably in the hundreds, with the main book that existed was the bible. The majority of europe couldn't read(only priests, scholars, and some noblemen really) and every book had to be copied by hand. Books didn't become big until like the 1700s with the printing press being invented.

By the time the Muslims came along, the Christians had wiped out the Gnostics completely who were the people that maintained many of the libraries of knowledge. The Christians outlawed the reading of any book but the bible for centuries.
Interestingly, their was a renaissance of sorts when Islam started out and some really great progress was made before it devolved into a spread out military campaign.
The Spanish destroyed a lot more than 30 books of the Mayans. I've read accounts that they destroyed entire libraries as they concluded it was devil worship.

Actually, production, collection and reading were quite popular, albeit in the groups you mentioned. But there certainly were many thousands of books in the entirety of Europe in the early middle ages, and there were many many more besides the bible, and they were very influential as well. While it's true that books became even more prolific from the early 1500s, they were very common and pervasive.
The image of the middle ages as some dark period in which there was only scientific and cultural regression is one of the most stubborn convictions of our time, while it is getting more and more clear that this was very far beside the truth. Read Pye's book about north west europe; it's a nice collection of insights based on a plethora of contemporary and medieval sources.

I was not critical of Hancock at all and said he had done a lot of research on the subject that needs to be taken seriously.

Given their membership it's bleeding obvious they're very well connected. This doesn't mean they are some kind of nwo organ. I understand it's difficult for the conspiracy theorists to deal with this kind of debate club. The reason why their meetings are closed to the public and even to many journalists (but not all!) is because they don't want that the group has a direct influence on what happens in the world. It's a high-level brainstorm group.
