Sad. Pathetic. This is a complete educational travesty.
Well, it looks like the Orwellian Ministry of Truth (*ahem* Texas Board of Education *ahem*) has succeeded in whitewashing U.S. history for the purpose of brainwashing students for their Right Wing authoritarian agenda…
…at least for now.
This can only increase the need for remedial education in higher institutions, maybe beyond the capacity of said institutions to adequately supply it to those who need it, and there will be many.
I can also see the litigation that will result when those of us who aren’t Right Wing conservatives object to these mind-control attempts and try to do something about it, like kick these revisionist nut-balls off the School Board.
Damage control…why is it so often needed?
Workers’ tombs discovered near pyramids
Well, here’s yet another nail in the coffin of pyramidiotic claims that unknown or unidentified precursor civilizations like Atlantis, or alien astronauts, or even alien astronauts from Atlantis, built the pyramids and other ancient monuments according to this AP post on Yahoo –
CAIRO – Egyptian archaeologists discovered a new set of tombs belonging to the workers who built the great pyramids, shedding light on how the laborers lived and ate more than 4,000 years ago, the antiquities department said Sunday.
The thousands of men who built the last remaining wonder of the ancient world ate meat regularly, worked in three months shifts and were given the honor of being buried in mud brick tombs within the shadow of the sacred pyramids they worked on.
The newly discovered tombs date to Egypt’s 4th Dynasty (2575 B.C. to 2467 B.C.) when the great pyramids were built, according to the head of Egypt’s Supreme Council of Antiquities, Zahi Hawass.
Graves of the pyramid builders were first discovered in the area in 1990, he said, and discoveries such as these show that the workers were paid laborers, rather than the slaves of popular imagination.
It’s cool that piece by piece, the entire puzzle is ever nearing completion, and the claims of those who seek to impose their own cognitive limits on reality regarding the origin of certain ancient monuments, who wish to sell our ancestors short, who assert that early civilizations were too backward, too primitive, no, too stupid to pile rocks atop each other, are being revealed as the house of cards they are. I’m sorry, Mr. Von Däniken, but you have failed me, and your followers, yet again — Bwa ha ha ha ha!
