But when you look at this stuff you certainly get the impression many valid aspects are probable, certainly it seems funny that the pyramids are presented as tombs when there is no evidence, it seems odd that folk reject the evidence of a comet impact or seek an implausible eplaination for the mega fauna die out...maybe it is the influence of those who believe the world is only 6000 years old who although not believed perhaps impose considerable influence in a political sense to guide funding. Who knows I certainly don't but as I said all one can do is look at all the presented facts and avoid forming a belief and then labling your belief the facts.
I just can not understand why folk get upset with new or different information without a recognition that it is belief that they are defending...I think belief can inhibit the search for truth... but often truth is not the issue I guess.
I don't care probably everything we think we know will change somewhat over the coming centuries like it has tended to do in the past.

Okay, I doubt the Pyramids were tombs -- well some of them anyway. But Tutankhamen's tomb was the first ever to be found intact. every other had been robbed of its wealth.
Mega fauna was hunted by humans, and so died out -- not talking of mammoths, etc. We made them extinct by hunting. If you go out hunting, you do not hunt a small possum when there is a giant animal that will feed the whole village for days. The Dodo, the Moa, the elephant bird are know to have been hunted to Extinction. And we know others were hunted out also. Ditto the last remaining Dinosaur. We all have heard of St. George killing the Dinosaur, but ancients called them dragons.
