Future Archeology

Are these the ruins of an ancient civilization which worshipped the sun and moon? Were rituals and sacrifices conducted in this sacred courtyard? Did people lay offerings of fruit and flowers at the feet of the sun disks? And what type of society flourished here along with its gods? These and many other questions will be the musings of future archeologists who will look upon this place with interest and awe.
They will speculate upon the structure of the society that lived here and try to re-create their social and religious activities as well as the aspects of their daily lives. They will wonder that a society could even exist here within an active volcano. Yes, an active volcano...
Is this how future archeologists would look upon our times? Perhaps... It is difficult to know what imaginings they might come up with. It is easy to deceive the masses into believing what you tell them. If you give a good story, then people will believe anything.
Such a thing has already happened with ancient Egypt and Mesopotamia, not to mention other ancient places around the world. The real truth about these places are not found in the standard textbooks. For that you have to look elsewhere and look hard.
And it is easy to see why the ancient ruins in the above picture are believable as being the site of an ancient civilization - or are they? No they are not! This is the recent ruin of a sulphur factory abandoned in the 1930's located on the active volcano Mt White in New Zealand. But a future archeologist could have you believing anything about the place. Archeology is not an exact science, no matter how good they think their dating techniques are. Much of it is pure speculation and embellishment and when the real truth doesnt fit their fantasy they cover it up in the too hard/I dont want to deal with it - basket.
Too long have we let a multitude of liars brainwash us about our past origins and history. Now its time to start disregarding the conventional interpretations and begin delving deeper into the real truth that is there for all to see who wish to see it...
Happy mind cleaning...
