A Forgotten World

So many questions...

           We all have our own opinions on what the world may have been like thousands of years ago. We have facts and we have theories. Of course, at any point in time, we can discover that a fact that we may have accepted our whole lives is actually a fake. For instance, the world as we know it supposedly started around 3000 b.c. or so. ( correct me if I'm wrong ) We called it "The Stone Age." A time when man would only come out of their cave to go hunt for food and such. Yet we now know, through recent archeological discoveries, that we may have been slightly off on the time line in which man started getting "smarter". Evidence shows that some megalithic sites actually date back 10 to 20 thousand years. They have found ancient cities and other weird Stonehenge like sites that go back to at least 32000 b.c. Most notably, the over 200 sunken cities that have been found along the coastlines of the world.

           At a time when much of the world was covered in ice, the land was much bigger since the sea level was much lower. As the years rolled on, the ice melted, and the water level rose. Which in turn, sunk all the cities that were along the coastal line of that time. That is where we get our stories of the great flood in the bible, and the story of Atlantis. These cities are being rediscovered all the time. Of course they aren't sure if they have found the actually "Atlantis" yet.

           Anyway-not to go into to much detail yet-the basic idea of this whole page is for us to discuss and figure out just what might have been happened all those years leading up to the now. All the history, legends, myths, and bedtime stories that have been taken as fiction, actually be used as a type of reference to find some kind of truth. All the religions of the world, the gods of those religions, and the people who worshiped them are all part of the same intricate web of history that has shaped and molded our entire way of life. The mission is simple. Try and figure out what happened in this forgotten episode of human development, and use this new found knowledge to help shape the future for a better Earth and a better human race.
