Tom. If any of you see holes feel free point them out to me.
Regards, Ken

To finish up, I do believe we have had civilizations

Cities, class structure, standing armies, etc? That's what makes a
civilization.

Look up on your search engine "The Deluged Civilization" it was
written by the former head chemist of Thomas Edison. I have seen the
pictures of the places that were looked at. We seem to be missing
something. How big is a city? Class structure I don't think anyone
would know. Standing army? I would think of some kind. It is a very
interesting piece of history everyone wants to overlook. I believe
because it was written in the 20's and the archeology done around late
1800's, early 1900's and they have some things in there that we know
today is not so, but that doesn't make it all untrue. And some of it
is "politically incorrect". But the pictures and the archeology work
is good. Pumpelly Raphael did that and was a respected professor of
Pittsburg University I believe. You can find that under "Pumpelly
Raphael Journeys in Asia 1860-1905. His journel is fascinating. Let
me know what you think. Regards, Ken

Fessenden was never head chemist or a chemist:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reginald_Aubrey_Fessenden

Here is chapter 11;http://web.archive.org/web/19960101-re_/http://www.radiocom.net/Delug...
Which starts:
"EVIDENCE that the Caucasus Isthmus was the home-land of the Egyptians and
Aryans,"

and more:http://www.radiocom.net/Deluge/Deluge7-10.htm

What exactly do you find worthwhile and what modern evidence backs it up?
Or do you just accept the dating given?

First off you used wikipukiu for any information.
http://www.hammondmuseumofradio.org/fessenend-bio.html
That is a more complete biography of Fessendend. He was named head
chemist to Edison in 1890.

That doesn't work.
http://www.americanheritage.com/articles/magazine/it/2001/1/2001_1_40_print.shtml
agrees that he was appointed head chemist - on the basis that he knew
nothing about chemistry! Some articles say he held that post 10 years,
but most of the ones I've read say he was laid off along with a lot of
others in 1890, a year after he got the job (he was born in 1866)

He went on to great things and was
obviously a very brilliant, talented man.

I agree, but 'head chemist' is a bit confusing as his talents clearly lay
in electrical engineering and radio, which is all that I remember about
him, the head chemist stuff is new to me.

Now, that does not make his
story completely true, but as he accomplished so much in his life, I
would think that the facts would be examined a little closer. Sure,
he was wrong on things, but look at all the errors made by others in
the past. What seems strange to me is that Raphael Pumpelly found on
the other side of the Caspian and Aral Seas, the archeology that would
make Fessenend's story while I'm sure exaggerated, at least on some
level for being true. The Black Sea did fill up as they thought. If
you go to Google Earth, and look at a close up of the gap between the
Black Sea and Caspian Sea, you can still see the river bed. So, as I
said before, there are still missing gaps, lost civilizations back
further than we have suspected. Other than the satetille idea the
geologist had, I know of no one who wants to go digging in that
particular part of the world at the moment. But someone should be, I
think they would find a whole new addition to history. But you were
wrong about Fessendenend, he was named head chemist to Thomas Edison
in 1890, and that was just the beginning of a brilliant career. Why
would he lie? Regards, Ken

It doesn't look as though he did. I still don't understand why he
mentioned it given the context.
