In the sands of Egypt lies a History waiting to be discovered, and when it is, it will cover this history with a layer of Sand that our Ancestor's Ancestor's will debate and argue you over for another 100,000 years.

Don't you mean the descendents of our descendents? or do you intend something stranger?
And man are you optimistic. I believe we've got at best 50/50 odds of surviving another 100 years, unless we can go back in time. Of course maybe our dna has been duly stored away on the moonbase for just such an eventuality. Maybe that's why we're here at all.

This conflation makes little sense.I believe if you read the Temple of Man By Shwaller de lubicz, you might think again about John Anthony West, and indeed many of the "alternative" crowd.
My suspicions, as I've said before, revolve around the racist history these characters push. The "alternative" egyptology has its own orthodoxy at this point. E.g., "10,500 BC".

Okay, I watched the video. A group of loosely strung-together assertions (Evolution by natural selection is a fraud. Darwinism is the root of all modern spiritualessness, and thus all modern ills. Darwinism insists that life is meaningless. Higher civilizations built the Sphinx 35,000 years ago because that is the only viable Leonine procession. Etc.) without a shred of evidence or alternative explanations. If I must evaluate him from the content of his ideas available on this video, Mr. West strikes me as a anti-science charlatan. Can you help me out here? Am I supposed to take him seriously? On what basis?
OP ED wrote:i got mostly the same from the vid, slim.
there isn't a lot of evidence presented there, only a lot of conclusions.
[most of which don't even logically follow each other]
in short: it came across as a load of horseshit to me.
[and i have little trouble with the notion of civilization being a bit older than they say, and indeed of statues being older than civilization, piling of rocks being something i consider rather basic]

If you got that from this then you got me.

Slimmouse, regarding Darwinism, West says at about 20:50 - "Underlying all the WalMarts and all the bobble-head dolls and all the stupidity oif today is this fraudulent doctrine".
What do you take away from statements like that? Yeah, I'm serious.
No mention of the orwellian doublespeak in the "natural selection" phrase ? To paraphrase, When essentially did ordered concsious choice actually mean accidental coinidence Mr Dawkins and co ?
No mention of Wests similar, if not quite as lengthy rebuttal of creationism as it is generally understood ?
