0b054f6 Indeed Christianity passes. Passes--it has gone! It has littered the beaches of life with churches, cathedrals, shrines and crucifixes, prejudices and intolerances, like the sea urchin and starfish and empty shells and lumps of stinging jelly upon the sands here after a tide. A tidal wave out of Egypt. And it has left a multitude of little wriggling theologians and confessors and apologists hopping and burrowing in the warm nutritious sand. But in the hearts of living men, what remains of it now? Doubtful scraps of Arianism. Phrases. Sentiments. Habits. churches arianism cathedrals crucifixes intolerances sea-urchin shrines outdated litter harmful toxic prejudices theologians pollution plague egypt H.G. Wells
926b645 "Despite the passage of close to a million years since first sailed to Flores, however, what archaeology does concede is that the human species could have developed and refined those early nautical skills to the extent of being able to cross a vast ocean like the Pacific or the Atlantic from one side to the other. In the case of the former, extensive transoceanic journeys are not believed to have been undertaken until about 3,500 years ago, during the so-called Polynesian expansion. And the mainstream historical view is that the Atlantic was not successfully navigated until 1492--the year in which, as the schoolyard mnemonic has it, "Columbus sailed the ocean blue." Indeed, the notion that long transoceanic voyages were a technological during the Stone Age remains one of the central structural elements of the dominant reference frame of archaeology--a reference frame that geneticists see no reason not to respect and deploy when interpreting their own data. Since that reference frame rules out, a priori, the option of a direct ocean crossing between Australasia and South America during the Paleolithic and instead is adamant that all settlement came via northeast Asia, geneticists tend to approach the data from that perspective." geneticists oceans assumptions migrations ice-age deep-human-history prejudices Graham Hancock
af19252 For more than half a century, [...] American archaeology was so riddled with pre-formed opinions about how the past look, and about the orderly, linear way in which civilizations evolve, that it repeatedly missed, sidelined, and downright ignored evidence for human presence at all prior to Clovis--until, at any rate, the mass of that evidence became so overwhelming that it took the existing paradigm by storm. history smithsonian-institute deep-human-history prejudices civilizations ignorance Graham Hancock
