WAR on HISTORY / with guest Danny Beard

"Who controls the past, controls the future." ~ George Orwell. "History is a set of lies agreed upon." ~ Napoleon Bonaparte. Ancients temples, artifacts, and monuments have been destroyed throughout time. History is important to inform us where we have been, what we have accomplished, and if we have evolved OR devolved! I will be covering some instances through more modern times where dictators have burned books, and killed men and women with great wisdom. This represented danger to the ideology of that dictator. They want to limit knowledge to control people with their agenda. Knowledge is the possibility of power when put to use. It's all about CONTROL. With some examination I have found that this has happened through out all time periods. Larger monolithic structures that have been left behind are much harder to make disappear (like the pyramids for example). But still I have found in current times historical sites are being blown up! Defaced, or destroyed! Artifacts are stolen or captured into private hidden collections. Not enough people are aware or they don't seem to even care.  Now on to a touchy topic...Religion. Not many people question the roots of where their sacred text have been derived. They just have faith. Which is a beautiful thing. From my research into the oldest written language available, I discovered many interesting facts. Sumerian cuneiform tablets contain the stories of almost every major faith people live their lives by to this day. 7 days of creation, the flood, human creation, the garden of eden, 10 commandments...and there are more. These stories appear to be borrowed from the oldest civilized writings we have in our possession.  1000's more of them have yet to be translated. Many of them have been destroyed. Maybe because they could change our understanding of our origins. Maybe there is an agenda to control YOU, keeping you locked into the paradigm of the modern narrative. History is important. Erasing it, even the bad parts, doesn't serve us! We need to know the good, the bad, and the ugly. As individual humans we can't just erase our bad experiences. They are actually important for us to learn from. Any successful person will remind you failure and mistakes are how they got to the top! Come and take a trip in history with me and my sidekick Danny, and keep your biases set aside so you can take in new information. I hope you enjoy this one. I certainly did enjoy the research. Much love to all you out there in podcast land! Take care...
