The Legend of the Ant People According to Hopi mythology, the Ant People, or Anu Sinom, are believed to be an ancient and advanced civilization that once coexisted with the Hopi tribe during a time of great turmoil. As the story goes, the Hopi people faced impending cataclysmic events, such as droughts, famine, and other natural disasters, that threatened their very existence. In their time of need, the Ant People extended a helping hand to the Hopi. Legend has it that the Ant People guided the tribe to underground sanctuaries, providing shelter and sustenance until the surface world became habitable once again. This assistance from the Ant People is said to have saved the Hopi from extinction, instilling a profound sense of gratitude and reverence for these mysterious beings. https://mythlok.com/blogs/hopi-ant-people/ 4 1/2 min vid:  The Ant People of Hopi Legends |

Well, to answer the second part of the question first... archaeology is anthropology. It's a sub-discipline of that field that typically deals with any human activity in the realm of near history, say 20,000 years ago to today. Anthropology as a whole is concerned with all of human (and hominid) history up to 7+ million years ago. Or more now, I haven't kept up. In any event, an archaeologist is just a specialized anthropologist, just like an anthropologist might have a specialty in a certain type of hominid. We all take the same classes in college, then people specialize in something in grad school. Archaeologists usually specialize in a certain culture, anthropologists in a certain time, geographical area, or hominid species. Then you put the paleontologists right alongside them, they're just interested in animals instead of people. Same basic classes, techniques, and so on, different sub-sets and specialties. Geologists and geophysicists however, are in a completely different building and do not learn the same things. Most of them end up working in an oil field somewhere analyzing samples or looking for the next well. Those that don't might become teachers, or some other portion of the field, but the number of them that are actually interested in another field like archaeology enough to delve into it and start analyzing things is vanishingly small. Then most of those come up with some woo-woo ideas based off sketch evidence, set up a YouTube channel to make money, and keep pushing more and more outlandish theories. What you're left with is a tiny subset of the population who would be interested in doing serious science like, say, analyzing the erosion patterns in the Sphinx enclosure, but none of them can ever agree on anything. They're usually contradicting each other's claims. And most of what they're doing is hypothetical anyway, as any real dating techniques in the geological field typically give you dates in MYA, not TYA. That makes them all but useless for archaeological work. A note on dating. People poo-poo carbon dating, but it's solid science. It can be cross-checked against other methods, and has been. Take an area that has a great tree-ring dataset going back thousands of years. Those are pretty rock solid. Then when the carbon dates come back and match those, and relative dating techniques agree, it's a safe bet that the science behind it is sound. So when you use it at another site, you can believe the results. Is it perfect? Hell nah. Does it have issues on occasion? Sure. But most of the people who dismiss it are doing so based on the dates that come back not fitting their pet woo-woo theory, so they're angry that there's some form of proof they're wrong. Since everything they came up with is usually based on logical fallacies anyway, those who believe are going to keep doing so, and those who never did will keep dismissing it, except now with actual evidence. |

Since everything they came up with is usually based on logical fallacies anyway, those who believe are going to keep doing so, and those who never did will keep dismissing it, except now with actual evidence. I'm not disputing how it is, but I think there could be a better solution. One to identify and excavate sites and another specializing in identifying purpose and maybe one more for languges, specifically, similarity in characters to other languages globally. There's been some pretty wild finds and observations on youtube regarding written language similarities as well a sother things. Lastly, while some took faith pretty seriously, to the level of watering pyramids with blood in Mexico, they can't say everything was religious, example is Pompeii where the murals still exist showing the different sex options. All the pictures are around the top edges on all 4 walls, apparently for those who couldn't read or those having a language without licentious words to explain, but that's all over and next to the "ceremonial slab" or "ceremonial bath". I don't disagree that there were ceremonial parts, but that doesn't mean everything found is related. One guess is allowed, and then it becomes a sort of law and no second guessing or re-examination is allowed if you aren't a PhD or have hide like a GD mod. |

Yeah this is AI and i absolutely hate this narration voice but if something even remotely like this is really uncovered by the current digging it is going to change everything. And it does appear that it is really there. I don’t know if it’s possible to dig the entire thing out but even just a portion will prove it true. I mean seriously WTF was going on there????
