…while escaping the madness that is the approaching collapse of western civilization with Philip Glass' Akhnaten blasting in my ears. It seems everything is falling apart and while some among us are trying to hold it all together we are increasingly surrounded by the willfully ignorant who would be just as happy to see the world burn.

Lately the idea that we aren't the first technologically advanced civilization to inhabit this planet—and was blasted back to the stone age by a natural or unnatural event has fired my imagination.

As I've written before, more and more evidence is pointing to a cataclysm that shook the world to its core approximately 12,000 years ago. (See: Younger-Dryas) In short, it is postulated that a planet-wide civilization that came to an abrupt end when a comet or small asteroid smashed into and melted the a huge portion of the northern ice cap, causing worldwide flooding and an environmental catastrophe that wiped out most of the megafauna of North and South America, and raised sea level 400 feet.

Does the legend of a vast flood that wiped out everything come to mind?  Noah is but one of many such stories in the historical record.

Even a casual perusal of sites in Egypt and—in fact, sites across the planet— point out incongruities that cannot be explained in the context of the traditional accepted archeological timeline. I call them "inconvenient truths." Whether it's the forever enigmatic pyramids of the Giza Plateau, the Sphinx, Machu Picchu, Göbekli Tepe, or dozens of other, less-well-known sites in Egypt and across the world, something just doesn't add up. Each of these locations contain overwhelming evidence of advanced technology having been used in their construction. Human technology. Advanced, yes, but still nonetheless human.

In my opinion this is far more likely than the ancient astronauts theories of Erich von Daniken.

While I'm not saying that aliens didn't play a part in this at all, I just find it implausible. I think that limits discovering the truth as much as academia turning a blind eye to on the ground evidence and dismissing anything that doesn't fit into the established timeline of how and when civilization arose, clinging to the firmly-entrenched idea that our current civilization is the apex of cultural evolution.

And this is supposed to be the apex? If that's the case, humanity is well and truly fucked.

I am saying it's far more likely that human civilization is cyclic, like everything else in the universe. It ebbs and flows, whether by natural calamity, or—as it would appear in our case—by our own hand.

Here is a good overview of the concepts I'm talking about:
