Recovery of Relics & Lost Treasure
The current state of affairs in regards to recovery of relics or lost treasure has very little to do with preservation of history, and a great deal to do with greed and acquiring more power. Everywhere one looks, most countries take all or most of what has been found. The finder is now considered lucky in many cases if they are offered a finders fee. How many rare coins do museums need before they have the info needed to say that they produced silver, or gold coins that looked like this. How many graves need to be opened before archaeologists say they were dressed as so, buried in this manner, wore jewelry that looked like this. You and your team after thousands of hours of research managed to track down and find an old wreck, only to have various countries sending in their legal sharks to grab what was long lost till you discovered it. How dare Spain file suit for gold that its armies took by slaughtering individuals and destroying their cultures. Where is the justice in that? If the gold has to be given up, send it to the Governments of the countries where it was stolen from. The Spanish do have records of what occurred back then. Of course, they were the victors, so they portrayed the natives as terrible, uncivilized monsters. How would you have acted if your homeland was invaded? As for history, an uncommonly large mountain of history is being acquired showing that our present understanding of ancient history has enormous holes that present day archaeologists cannot adequately explain. So they put forth documentaries with theories that are hugely biased according to their personal beliefs. Why? Because in truth there was a widespread higher civilization that existed thousands of years prior to anything we ever suspected. If one controls relics, treasure recovered, writes the historical articles, then one controls the real power in the world which is free-thinking. If you do not believe what I say, then I tell you to start watching and listening to discovery of temples, remains of cities older that are 13,000 yrs plus in age. The last Ice Age was retreating 12,000 yrs plus ago, which means these cities, tombs existed during the time of the Ice Age. Do not be so foolish as to reveal what you have found, for those that will come forward with their legal sharks are the real thieves, they will come to take what you have found, so the rich and powerful will become more so!
