Non-Text Post What if every historical event we’ve learned about was slightly altered to cover up something much bigger?

What if religion had been used for thousands of years to hide evidence of past advanced civilizations and more importantly the reason why they were wiped out?

How much history we've lost because of Christianity is mindblowing!

Not just Christianity. Isis and the Taliban have been destroying artifacts that are thousands of years old because it's outside of their perceived religious sphere.

Having worked in big business and worked in the government.

It isn't happening. There is no way to get enough people to work together on something important, required, .... There is no way to cover up something HUGE.

I am surprised that the Epstein stuff isn't 100% public by now. Must be multiple powerful people caught doing something stupid.

If the flat earth folks could read they would be very upset by this

I know the resurrection is a fact, and Watergate proved it to me. How? Because 12 men testified they had seen Jesus raised from the dead, then they proclaimed that truth for 40 years, never once denying it. Every one was beaten, tortured, stoned and put in prison. They would not have endured that if it weren't true. Watergate embroiled 12 of the most powerful men in the world-and they couldn't keep a lie for three weeks. You're telling me 12 apostles could keep a lie for 40 years? Absolutely impossible. ~ Charles Colson

Please don't bring religion into it.

I know enough history and religion to generally make a priest, pastor, emom question their religion, a historian to agree to whichever side it take.

And then we have the people who can't read, who believe so much that they are willing to kill or die or both because someone else doesn't believe exactly what they believe.

And literate, genius people who will do the same OR declare to their dying breath.

The image is for fun.

Every time I had first hand information about something that got into the news, the reporters got it wrong, so I think it happens all the time, whether from incompetence or nefarious intent, I don't know

I don't know about EVERY event but sure it's possible. Sometimes the truth gets out. Just like the civil war documentary Abraham Lincoln:Vampire Hunter.
