Back Through the Ages
There have been a number of people looking back into our past. There seems, almost as a prelude to the 2012 symphony, to have been a chorus of enlightening discoveries and re-thinking about just how our history has been manipulated or misrepresented.
It has been realized for a long time that the winners write the history, but perhaps only recently has there been the freedom for people to go find out just what might have been covered over in those ‘revisionist’ stories. And the possibilities are mind-boggling.
For me, the first serious look I had at how I might not have a correct idea of the past came from Robert Bauval – his book The Orion Mystery, took me into strange waters. I’d always known the Great Pyramid was an incredible achievement, but Bauval showed me it could be far more than I’d dreamed.
As if a dam had burst, from there the discoveries came at rapid pace. I’d always been a it contemptuous of Erich von Daniken – his tales of aliens in our past seemed interesting but his logic turned me off – he would propose a possibility in one chapter, show some equivocal evidence, then use that proposal as if it were fact in the next chapter. At least that was how it seemed to me, being firmly in the ‘if I can’t touch it, it ain’t real’ camp at the time
The internet was starting to fire up as a real innovation around that time and I found sites dedicated to such things that were a little more carefully balanced. I also read Thoth, Architect of the Universe, by Graham Hancock and it sealed me on a path for which I have yet to see an end point.
