Yes.. The Cycle of culture, people and beliefs. It has been studied and still is being studied. I find it fascinating.

Agreed. It is indeed fascinating when one is able to approach it with an open mind.
 
Well.... I was given a book to read..

It is called Heaven's Miror Quest For The Lost Civilization by Graham Hancock and Santha Faiia.



If I have any questions I will be sure to ask. :)

It talks abouts about revelation that the cultures we refer to as ancient were, forgotten civilizaion and inheritors of wisedoms and traditions. Lost cities etc.

Discuss old ruins such as Egypt, South America and others. Discusses how mythology were developed such as how the stars became gods. It basically forces you to rethink the conception of the origin of civilization.

Got this just reading the summary. :giggle:

I have not started reading the book yet. It was given to me, by my SO brother in law a couple of days ago.



I will start reading and and be able to explain more.

Learned alot about cargo cults in a couple of anthropology classes. It is very interesting. As is the study of cultural contact changing cultures. I did a 15 or so page paper on the changes Deaf culture has undergone as a result of contact with hearing culture. Probably still have it around somewhere.

Sure will, Buf. It is on a jump drive I let my nephew borrow, and as soon as I get it from him I will email you the paper. It was actually one I was pretty proud of.
