Hey Mojo,

This is the secret to the construction of the pyramids!

Well that's that sorted then.

Kinda makes sense too.

The Irish get everywhere too, like the Aussies!

That was pretty funny. I'm not sure my ancestors built the pyramids, but I can say this much: humans are much older than the mainstream thinks we are, and that includes the irish and egyptians. The sphix is at least 10K years old, I mean shit. Babylon is not the oldest civilization, that's just a plain fact that all can see.

Many of the american pyramids are thousands of years old too. Not to mention Newgrange in Ireland which is arguably OLDER than the pyramids.

Sumer was believed to be the oldest civilisation, of which Babylon and Akkad grew from later.
Depending on your interpretation of civilization, i believe Catalhoyuk to be the oldest so far discovered. It is about 9-10,000 years old and was home to up to 10000 people at the time. They had art and religion, domesticated animals and there is some evidence that they stored food and brewed grains.
Catalhoyuk would predate Sumer by about 3-4,000 years.
Of course there may be as yet undiscovered remnants of even earlier civilizations. ;)

The video doesn't work on my work computer so i'll have to check it out when i get home. :)

There are many ancient civilizations: Sumeria (thanks for the correction ojom), China - yangtze river civilization, Egyptian, New Zimbabwe, Ethiopia, Mayan, mound builders of North America, India, Mongolia, Persia, Pacific Islanders, etc etc.

Who was the first? We don't know. Simple as that. Yonaguni off the coast of Japan is a rather interesting find, definitely not natural, that would push back the dating of civilization by thousands of years.

I often wonder if humans ever weren't in existence on this planet. How can we pretend to know what happened thousands of years ago when we can't even get American history right? Dude, like we don't even understand what time is. For all we know, civilizations have came and went upon this planet for eternity, and if you travel far enough back in time, you'd arrive right back here and now.

Put that on a blotter and lick it, bitches!

Well said Indy. I believe it to be possible for many human civilizations to come and go without any trace.

We are only now finding remnants of cities in the Amazon jungle...

To think we have any idea about our history and even the present is beyond absurd.

I know that I don't know shit, but its still fun to speculate ain't it :)
