RE: Search for the Mud Flood 2: A Local Town Square's Curious Architecture Raises Only More Questions
The trouble is that we didn't pass on the history from parent to children.
For these last hundred years, we have sent children off to minimum security prisons where they were forced to learn, in the worst way possible, factoids about a history that never actually existed.
Lincoln and the Cherry tree? Never happened.
Pilgrims and Thanksgiving? Never happened.
George Washington was a great visionary leader? Well, he was good at running away, which actually led to winning of the revolutionary war. By the way, did you read about the Whisky Rebellion? Where GW attacked and killed americans?
Tartarus, ask the Ukrainians and they remember the capital. But, look it up in a history book, and there is nothing.
And then you have the fact that anyone who tries to match up the dark ages writing with the phases of the moon, find that it is an impossible task. Most who have looked seriously into it find that there is 100 to 1000 years missing.
So, yes, everything in our govern-cement school history books is false.
I thought it was Washington who didn't cut down the cherry tree, but I must have missed my indoctrination that day when they 'taught' that story.
It is a trip that many old maps show Tartary as the largest country on the planet, yet as you said, history books prefer to ignore that huge civilization for some reason.
It's becoming increasingly easier to dismiss the 'Dark Ages' as a made-up period of history that possibly never happened-- a lot of our chronology makes more sense when that 1000 years is removed from the story.
