TheRedSquirrel87: How do civilisations die?
At their peak of reason and success they become too clever for their own good and analyse themselves to death leaving only the thick behind. The hubris of intellect destroys itself and the thick keep on breeding, literacy declines, and the degenerating idiocracy of posterity, exhausted by the heavy burden of democracy and freedom and lacking the discipline to reform themselves, appoint a Caesar to rule over them which is the final stage of civilisation.
Religious rule, then Democracy and/or rationalism, followed by Caesar. That's the pattern of all the great civilisations.

Thanks for the video Rumples it is interesting ye there is more to the falling of civilizations.
Great achievements have been done in civilizations with a rank hierarchy just as it happens in the "organized" animal world, like ants and bees. Humans are more intellectual and developed animals yet we lack the understanding of a social hierarchy (not a rank hierarchy) or a system that works towards greatness for humanity.
But
What is greatness for humanity?
Exploring the space?
Being able to eliminate diseases from the human genome?
Feeding every one?
etc...
How do we "construct" for humanity, without falling as a civilization over and over?

Sometimes religion goes against archaeology.
Specially the muslim extremists lately, but I don't deny others.

lifeisadream: Is there archeology for not-religious people?
I think so. Some are interested in our past without religious prejudices.

the exodus didn't happen. that is something archaeology can explain.

so yes archaeology helps laugh with religion and old believe and fiction

GUZMAN1: So, there wasn't an exodus but some centuries later a jew was sold to an Egyptian?
What evidences do you want to find?
What evidences do you want to find?
I need not to find evidences for anything and certainly not interested in the "religious" finding.
I do respect people's beliefs being Christians, Catholics, Muslims, Protestants, etc..
My interest is archeology and I am fascinated about Egyptian archeology (as well as some others) and its ancient culture.

Old books are also interesting to archeology, besides its religious contents.

Yes, they can be.

Archeology is the study of cultures made by men.
Anthropology is basically the study of man's bones.
Since biologists can't even prove we exist in physical bodies...
And, quantum physicists believe our whole reality is nothing but a hologram.
It takes a religious faith to believe we have a fossil record.

Ancient books usually mix historical facts with religious traditions.
The Bible is a good example.

It is only natural to want to know what kind of lives our ancestors lived.
And it is only through archaeology we can do this.

Len05: Yes that story has some written comments from the egyptians.
but the voyage/exodus and 40y desert is a bit over the top fiction.
not worth a war
so i like archeology. we still learn of missing human tribes or ancestor or nephews.
and maybe one day we will find out how and why the pyramids were built, beside the believers 'aliens did it'.
Luckily they were not there to store grain as one of the US ministers strongly theorizes.

Because of Exodus there is a life time war between two cultures.
Who benefits from it?
ignorance is the greats weakness of humans or is there another one?

there is a difference in reasons and excuses.
otherwise there would have been another excuse to slam someones head in

Ok...
Archeology is the study of cultures made by men.
Anthropology is basically the study of man's bones.

And, quantum physicists believe our whole reality is nothing but a hologram.
It takes a religious faith to believe we have a fossil record.
Because democracy and education have taught me that archaeologists can't be trusted to tell us the truth.
And what does The Bible say about the fact that biologists can't prove we exist in physical bodies, and quantum physicists are teaching us that we only exist as a hologram?
Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear.
Hebrews 11:3
