Cubby, we can just shorten it to a disorder called 'SRI' (self righteous indignation), I think it could be used around here quite a bit.
Oro, in your past life were in the Senate in Rome ... probably during the time of Caesar Augustus. A voice of calm. Just RVing for a sec.

Jimb, you said:
First the conversation is about some 13,000 year old civilisation and when I read further the story is about the lost dutchmen mine. If you are talking about the Dutchman Mine, forget it I discovered it 10 years agoThat is why this thread is called 'the everything else' thread. Cuz it is everything else and then some.
Some of us think and in ways can prove that history books are wrong ... flat out lies. LOL. I collect old history books ... its just sad.
I haven't figured out quite what BB's theory is, but I am of the mind (although I doubt anyone cares), that the America's and particularly AZ and UT were part of an older culture, going back 13,000 at least, actually (I think) that it is when people started to come out of the shelters and survive i.e.: Magdalenian and Clovis sites. It IMO is the only explanation why arrowheads 'devolved."
If I can extrapolate... and I could be wrong, but what the heck (am I going to get zapped again for that word, I swear I didn't say a bad word)?
BB, believes that the Chicomoztoc is in AZ and is LDM, i.e., site 3, or site 4. Unfortunately he will not give any tangible info, other than blurry photos and circles of 'interesting' but cut and pasted research. I find his wanderings fascinating, but not the pulling posts or panties in a bunch.
Then when asked questions, which he finds insulting. he gets his panties all twisted up, which is ridiculous, because all research and discovery must be challenged, questioned and given debate. I like the arguing part a lot.
What I have discerned, from posts that have since been UN-posted, (which annoys me no end)... BB has in some alternate and clever means, including boots on the ground (?) has found the fabled Chicomoztoc and its not just the lost goldmine, but is the source of legend of the lost peoples of 'Atlantis', or the seven caves of Ancestors.
But, there are several problems with those claims, because RDT owns Chicomoztoc and you've found the LDM.. Oro is persuaded that an ancient culture is found in the Utah Mts. There is a lot of credible info on that too.
I'm persuaded that Western America could be an exit spot for our ancestors after a disaster (the kind that sent us back to the stone age), and I'm getting more convinced the more research I do, that the west has a significant underground complexes.
I and I think some others here are persuaded that there was a Pre-Columbian habitation by peoples advanced in building, writing and other interesting and sometimes hidden or most certainly misinterpreted ruins, sites, intaglios, cave drawings etc. (whether intentional or not)
