It has been said that we might not even recognize an alien life form should we encounter one, nor the ruins of an alien civilization (at least not on Mars, if NASA and JPL have their way). But how about ancient ruins here on Earth? Are we often looking in the wrong places and overlooking [...]
There is There is no reason they could not have built canals. The Indians at Tenochtitlan spoke of an earlier great city in South America that they had anciently known and where they presumably to themselves received their advanced engineering of a similar scale & type urban infrastructure of most refined and sophisticated dimensions by contemporary standards. As well the natives in Massachusetts in earliest colonial times showed connected 3 river systems in the upper Charles River Basin that they said were used in an extensive trade network of highways paths and canals up the entire length of the Americas allowing trade between Central South and North American tribes. The curious element was the still intact empirical sovereign recognition of each local tribal chief along this route of obligation to keep the network repaired and open something that survived well into the European colonial era and that their titular designations were part of a recognized hierarchical order as in Europe with the degrees of nobility maintaining each regions infrastructure. The history written in colonial times has the Indians saying the canals connecting the rivers as well as still existing pre colonial dams and bridges of stone were the work of a very tall prince who joined the local tribe and that he possessed many skills and was long lived as well as being of high yellow coloring! I think its interesting that the great Chinese prince they unearthed at Teotihuacan within recent times received the briefest coverage before being whisked out of site with his burial treasures and the articles ordered removed from public record from some government source in Mexico. The Chinese Imperial records describe 5 sucessive emperors of Chinese origin of their New World or Mid American Empire before the coming of the Europeans. There were still Chinese empirical officials in the region when Columbus arrived as is mentioned in his work. The new world Imperium of China was considered an autonomous empire independant of China, gradually they were absorbed into native populations with the elite gradually withdrawing to the Orient,Africa and other regions where the Chinese trading Treaty Port culture existed.They attempted to bring Buddhism to the native Americans and it was limited in its success and influence. The only sucessful points were great cities of this anciently integrated Indo-Chinese Empire where intermarriage had created some generations of very advanced and evolved culture based on Hindu universalist science and Buddhist philosophy. Inevitably the distictions of genetic distinction probably involving elements of devolvement in the morphology of the governed masses led to the abandonment of the empire by these proto orientals in large part after their 5th and predicted last great Emperor died and was entombed shortly before the coming of the Europeans.
I hope these few vignettes of real ancient colonial history help put together the greater complexity of our worlds forgotten history.
So many modern discoveries are misinterpreted to fit our preconceived assumptions of our past history which so many times has been proved wrong. Makes you wonder why we keep doing that when so many times our past has been completely rewritten. Far too often mainstream archaeology has become nothing more than religion, you dont believe as they do then you are wrong.
