Alternative Archaeology anyone?

Klaus Dona

I came across this fascinating video while looking into the legendary "Metal Library" under South America:

(Skip to 7:30)

I personally like Klaus Dona's slide show approach with the given subject matter. He is simply showing what he has found and lets you make your mind up to fill in the spaces.

Your thoughts?

Embedding doesn't seem to work for me at the moment when a timecode flag is added....hmmm.

Anyway I have just edited the OP with a link until I can find out what the problem is.

Actually would a kind soul mind having a quick look at why the above link doesn't work when it is embedded? I would've thought

[youtube*]

would just work? (without the *'s ofcourse)

Thanks Pixel, although adding a time flag to the link still doesn't work.

I'd recommend just skipping to around 7min 30sec

I watched the whole thing anyway, interesting video, thanks.

I especially liked all the statues and carvings of the 13-stepped pyramid with the eye on top, almost exactly like the one on US 1-dollar bills. There is definitley something we're all missing with our own history.

I've changed the thread title.

Also for anybody starting to watch this thinking its going to be another one of 'those videos' I implore you to watch a little further

It's sad to see that "Facebook question", "bird stuck in chimney" and "TROLLEY RAGE" are apparently ranked far higher on this board than the above video.

I doubt many even bothered to spend 5 minutes watching it..

Biohazard · 7 Jun 2011 at 18:39

Right.

I watched it yesterday and nearly gave up twice.

It raises interesting points, and has shown me things I didn't know however the way the argument is presented is garbled and incoherent I felt. Is it world wide writing it's trying to convince me of, or that early civilizations had black light discos?

I watched it, but I lost the way a bit.

Lost all credibility with the translation of the 4 letter word on the bottom of the pyramid. There's no way someone could come up with a translation from so few letters.

samir_ansari · 7 Jun 2011 at 20:39

Lost credibility because scholars translated something that is similar to other ancient languages found all over the world? You do realise that symbols in many languages are not actually letters (i.e. Japanese)

I think the main point of the presentation is to show how little we actually know about our past, whether these artifacts are all fake (which I doubt) or not.

If it isn't fake it raises quite a few points that will completely blow a hole through our modern perception of religion and evolutionary history, especially the finding of those skulls.

I can also agree with Klaus's Theory as to why many mainstream scientists won't touch this subject as it may ruin their career. History is littered with scientists/'witches' getting demonised for suggesting things that go against 'the norm'

it was an unknown language though... it could mean litteraly anything there is not enough of it to draw any real conclusion.

it doesnt matter how similar it is to another language.

i bet u can find very similar words in english and german that mean totaly oposite things

samir_ansari · 7 Jun 2011 at 21:59

Perhaps, although this isn't actually Klaus's translation.

Hopefully you have all gotten past this bit in the video as it is only 1 minute in

One person has claimed it to be something is how I took it.

Stretching things a little, no?
