1277886 2012-05-30 02:02:00 Can anyone remember that crazy numbnuts who reckoned some cracks in a cliff in NZ were evidence of a higher civilization than the moaris were here. Until some real scientists found the crack were caused by radiata pines roots and relatively recent burn offs caused the cracks.
Just shows how many nutters are out there.

1277887 2012-05-30 02:06:00 I can't even see the motivation for claiming that some lost civilization had visited/settled here.

If it was something being explored by someone with a keen interest in history I could understand it, But mostly it looks like people with an axe to grind making unsubstantiated claims for reasons that don't quite add up.

My interest stems from that, no hidden agenda's no wanting a handout hell I'm not Greek just would like to think that what I have seen and read about from first hand sources in some areas might be true. What is really annoying is Maori history says when the canoes first arrived there was a pale skinned people already here but then they keep going on about being the indigenous people. Well guess what Maori even your own history says your wrong

1277889 2012-05-30 03:04:00 Personally I consider all history to be wrong, If not merely inaccurate then a load of complete bullocks.

Especially the type that was never written down or infused with magic/mythical beings (The bible falls into one of those categories) maori history falls into both.

1277890 2012-05-30 03:37:00 Yes but some history was written down and I don't mean later like the bible but real historical documents do exist and are much harder to refute unless of course they point to mythical beings that no one not even at the time ever got to see gary67 (56)
1277891 2012-05-30 03:50:00 Thats true, Some was written down, however its all incredibly biased and they fill in the gaps by making stuff up.

Just as an example, what the Russians and Japanese teach their school children about WW2 is completely out of whack with what I was taught, Yet the Russian perspective most probably has more truth in it, while the Japanese text books are just a load of spin and half-truths.

And there is no end of conflicting historical accounts.
