how bout those MegalithsFollow

HOw about thos Mega-liths in Europe..


Supposedly they all folow the same unit of measurments and align with each other over 1000s of miles. Alot also align perfectly with certain stars and planets... And also other Pre-historic art follows the same pattern.... and this stuff is like over 10,000 years old.


Check out Skara Brae...

ON that note, how about the fact that the Mayan knew how big the Plaet Earth was.

The Minoans also knew this too..

OH and how about those African looking statue heads of the Olmecs:

Look at the Sphinxes face as well... see a similarity?

sorry, the Sphinx is older than 6000 years.... Rain erosion points to that..... The person who is credited with it's construction HIMSELF said that he merely uncovered it....

HOw about Names from South America and Egypt being similar:

Atlán, Autlán, Mazatlán, Cihuatlán, Cacatlán, Tecaltitlán, Tihuatlán, Atitlán, Zapotlán, Minititlán, Ocotlán, Miahuatlán, Tecaltitlán, Tepatitlán, Tihuatlán, Texiutlán, and the like.
Notice that the Nahuatl Tlán root of these place names is exactly like the Tlan in "Atlantis." Tollán is just another variety of "Tlan" and the Sanskrit word Talan. The N part of both the Mexican and Sanskrit equivalents means "People." In both what was once North India (Southern Russia, Chinese Turkestan, Afghanistan, Pakistan, etc.) and Meso-America, the N suffix was often omitted, especially if the name of the place ended in Tal/Tala.
In Mexico we find places like Tlaxcala; Mixquiahuala; Sinaloa; Guatemala; Cosalá; Ayutla; Mitla; Tonalá; Chapala; etc. Similar endings, from Southern Russia down to Pakistan, are Nepal; Coushala; Sinhala; Bhopal; Tal; Shawl; Kabul; etc.

Besides the Tlán root, other Meso-America place names end in Tán and An: Yucatán; Juchitán; Champotón; Celestún; Comitán; Tehuantán; Rostán; Mexcaltitán; Tehuantán, etc. The regions from Southern Russia down to Pakistan. once part of India, also have place names ending in Tan and An: Afghanistan; Pakistan; Multan; Rajasthan; Tajikstan; Bhutan; Hindustan, plus many others. As in Mesoamerica, these Tan/An endings are stressed. Only in what were once ancient India and Mesoamerica are these Tan/An endings found so abundantly. There are many other similar linguistic correspondences between the two regions.


IT has been thoroughly proven that trans-Atlantic travel was possible in those days.

Also there is a culture in Polynesia I believe that can make the same kind of wicker boats thta were made in ancient Egypt.. and were capaple of ocean travel.

and much much more



Are all of these things coincidences? AN I jsut really having a mere case of selective perception?
Waht's going on here? How long can the scientific and archeological communities continue to ignore that groeing facts that history NEEDS to be re-written.

ok,now belittle me for being so guillable.

Either that or we are what happens when aliens sneeze into primordial ozze

I love their music! The Megaliths are one of my all-time favorite bands!

Kelvygayo - stop trying so damn hard to be noticed. Just reply to threads with some thought and intellect. Be yourself and make tacosid jokes. You do those things and you'll get noticed eventually.

Im doing more than a little bit of prehistory for university. And ive been doing it for the last couple of years. Ive read and done papers on pretty much all the things you have brought up and while when skimmed on the surface and not looked at in depth, they can look similar or that they all have a common root they do not.

There is overwhelming genetic evidence to point out that the "indigenous" people of north america came from mainland Asia. That they traveled across Beringia or the land bridge that was the Bering strait which was exposed at a couple different times during history. That there were a couple different migrations of peoples into the americas over the land bridge over a period of thousands of years.

Moving on;


To which i will reply with the following:


Now about Olmec heads and the Sphinx. First the majority of scientist would say it was built around 2500 BC. There are a few people that use Rain erosion to try to come up with another name. Rain erosion is an extremely poor method of dating anything, now dont get me wrong im not a science snob, but it hasnt been proven, properly tested or tried, or widely used. There are to many factors to make it reliable or predictable. The factors would be as follows 1.Material that is being eroded, 2.position of object (is it way out in open or sheltered) 3.Precipation over time 4.Change in climate over time 5.with Sphinx you would also have to factor in sand causing erosion over time and the fact that for long periods of time the sphinx was covered by sand and not subject to rain erosion at all.

There are lots of examples of the Olmec giant heads most are "snarling" and wearing "warrior helmets" which dont really fit with picture of Sphinx.

Nothing. I'm just busting on him, is that illegal now as well? :)

But anthropolinguists have broken down Amerind and Asian languages to the point where the similarities are striking.

Just sayin'.

Basically what i was getting at Kelvy is that you are using some very flimsy coincidence to make some big conclusions.

You neglect the huge but tedious amount of archaelogical work that has been done that quite clearly shows, not just with some far stretched leaps of faith but clearly over time with change in little things like pottery styles, art, trade and what was traded and where.

These theories arent just supported by saying 'hey i found object 1 at point A and i found something just like it at point Z thousands of miles away". They are supported by people saying "hey if found object 1 through 100 at point A and i see it also at points B,C,D etc and i also have a clear idea of how it moved from each and how it changed over time i can also back this up with a wealth of evidence that boggles the mind"

Olmec and Egyptian pottery style differ greatly, religion, trade, art etc. Also there is absolutely no evidence of Olmec culture popping up over night. It started slowly and built up into complex society over a period of hundreds and hundreds of years. Same with Minoan and Mayan.

Its like Christian Scientists trying to disprove the Theory of Evolution. They make assumptions and leaps of logic with no evidence to prove what they are saying. Thats what your pretty much doing, and as for archaelogical record of civilization rising it is much more solid and easy to prove than that of evolution.

Corrected.

There is a field of study called "Anthropolinguistics" but no "Anthropolinguists".

I only studied it in college.
