Re: Hmm...
I just haven't seen anything very convincing in the last thirty years. I'm still waiting for the sort of proof, images, structures, or artifacts, that are unequivocal in their authenticity.
I'm a bit too long in the tooth to fall for wish fullfilment, that's all.
I remember the pleasure I got reading, Ignatius Donnelly's 'Atlantis: The Antediluvian World,' as a lad, way back in the early Seventies.
I also remember reading von Daniken, back then, and the sort of liberties he took with his evidence, to make it fit his theories.
So, when someone makes posts, such as,
A grab bag of hyperlinks as a "small taste" doesn't really cut it.
So, ponder this: There are accusations of a cover up in the archæological world, to hide the truth about our ancient origins. In order to maintain the status quo, l'ancien régime, or what ever.
Now, if the Indian and the Cuban Governments, had such paradigm shifting, ancient sites on their territory, what power on Earth could stop them from investigating these sites and presenting findings and proof that would blast the West's version of the past to smithereens, to the greater glory of their own prehistoric past?
I await further developments, with interest.
One more point: Where do you get the fact that, "humans are at least 600,000 years old as a species." ?
Since most authorities reckon on 'homo sapiens sapiens,' or modern man only having been around for some 200,000 years (maybe 300,000 at the very outside). Although 'homos sapiens,' our ancestors have been around for some 400,000 years. I'd be interested to see your evidence, as long as it's not just another long list of links.

It seems natural to ask for some sort of references to such wonders.Originally posted by Psyber
Of course, many other mysteries exist from mankind's distant past such as out-of-place artifacts and pyramids of an unknown origin. The implication is that records were either destroyed or are undiscovered. Especially when considered together, the evidence is much more than suggestive of a large human civilization existing prior to 10,000 years BP.
