Smudging the room....

@achzdck I haven't had the internet in months. Now coming back and seeing your post is a shock. I don't understand why you are so overly zealous towards my posts and I must say that I don't understand some of your writings (especially after they take on all capital letters). I hardly was "hateful of Christians" even if I see Christianity as a historically altered religion (by Roman Emperors Constantine and Justinian , etc as well as powerful bishops/popes, etc). Bigotry? I dont comprehend you.

part2... but I also annoy Christians with this because it is at odds with the official religion. But the experience of nirvana, moksha, enlightenment or whatever is real and people claim they have this indescribable experience of connection with all of Reality. And so a sage who said "I and the Father are One" is like the goal of the yogis of "Union with the Brahman".

Anyway, I see religions as purely symbolic and mythologies contain symbolic 'truths'. Figuring them out is the work

"Christianity has been proven to be false"

-------

I partially agree. But a real sage,mystic,yogi type human who attained what people sometimes now called "cosmic consciousness" (just a phrase - seeing past duality etc - might have been labelled as "I and the Father are One" in a patriarchal cultural bias) may have taught people. If authorities killed him and a rising religion was altered by Emperor Constantine (for eg.) to adjust Christianity, it isn't really the fault of the original sage.

part2... John Anthony West's work in Egypt say that the sides of the Sphinx enclosure appear to have rainfall erosion. This means that structure would have been from ~ 12500 BC.

The idea of some large advanced culture reaching to the Americas, Asia, Europe which is mythologized as the word "Atlantis" should be considered seriously.

Things like the 'Antikythera mechanism', ancient flyable models, iron pillar in India that is rust-proof and almost indestructable are interesting.

It's interesting that there are so many flood myths and stories from many cultures. One of these is what the Bible's flood story descends from... from the Sumerian 'Epic of Gilgamesh'. In that story, the gods flooded the Earth because humans were making so much annoying noise (sounds like a funny reason). But the story has many similarities.

But both could be myth stories based on an older real-world environmental change perhaps even of vast proportions. An asteroid or comet impact perhaps?

Archeology is digging up ground to find evidence of buildings,and materials and items that people in the past have left in an area.Regarding the bible,The City of David area was dug up,no City and no evidence of people settling there at that time.There are many examples of this in the Bible. Hope that helps.
