   1. Yeah. I don’t hate him any more or less than Erich von Daniken or Michael Baigent. Despite the caterwauling of archaeologists, it really doesn’t matter whether any of these guys are right or wrong. It won’t affect anything that people depend on for day-to-day living.

      What disappoints me about these grifters and the people who follow them is that actually attestable human history is amply interesting and complicated and full of compelling stories. There’s no need to invent silly Lost Civilization theories. Daniken and his ilk appeal to people who want to feel important by possessing “secret knowledge” only they are privy to, unlike all those unspecial plebs.

   It is right here. People had to come from somewhere, this is where. The flood was, indeed, worldwide, as far as people where concerned, since this is where all the people were, since they had to start somewhere.

   This was millions of years ago, not thousands. The people were different than we are, mainly, they lived much longer, all the ancient tales say so. We now call them Neanderthals (and an earlier version up to 4 million years ago, with far fewer fossils, just fragments). These ancient people were outbred by the modern version, who live shorter lives and simply overran the older race by outbreeding them. This modern mutation appeared to happen in Africa, it had to happen somewhere. Thus they disappeared despite being just as smart and twice as strong. One reason, being so long lived, they got pretty set in their ways. Another reason, being so strong and tough, they could afford to be, weaker modern humans had to get clever or die. And modern humans could outthink them simply because there were more thinkers.

   This is what the fossil record says. You can disagree, but you do so despite the above evidence. Also the evidence of the Neanderthals, how they built stone houses, buried there dead in religious ceremonies, made art, and all such. If you say “they were primitive stone age!”, well, we have photographs of primitive stone age people in the Americas, and there are still such around the world today. Why? You only have to work three hours a day.

   Oh, and the epic of Gilgamesh wase not necessarily the oldest tale, it was the oldest WRITTEN tale, before then must be many other tales, not yet written. Note where it was written. The oldest Chinese character for flood is a pictogram of a boat with eight people. It doesn’t matter what you believe, that is the fact you must deal with. To change that fact, you will need a time machine.

   Yes, there is a lot of nonsense written about this, such as the Earth being only a few thousand years old, or some dude who claimed to have found the ark (after 4 million years or more), presenting the feeblest evidence. Just because obvious nonsense exists doesn’t mean the evidence does not actually point to something, follow the evidence, not the sensationalist. Some people say we did not go to the moon. The great mass of evidence says we did (it would be harder to fake going than to actually go, no CGI), follow the evidence.
