when king of hungary cortez and his bishop landau, for the none nobility, landed in the mayan empire they lived among the natives trying to decipher their literacy, more advanced than theirs, the mayans had constructed the worlds first known binary computer, rows of knotted ropes with one larger knot to turn one knot in the next row when the first row of knotts were counted once, it could be reversed and used for subtracting, they had hundreds, they were electroplating gold onto copper castings, cortez and landau watched them for a few months trying to learn the language, they had thousands of books, on papyrus, their pyramids were actronomical observatories, they knew the earth moon, mars and saturn orbited the sun, and thought the great spirit had something to do with the sun. after some time cortez and landua decided they were guilty of heracy since moses stated the earth was the center of the universe and moon, sun and tiny stars rotated around the earth daily, and they were nothing but supersticous heathens, so they murdered all the scientists, burned all but a few books, and the computers were burned as well. Their year was measured by 18 months with 20 days each and a 5 day festival dedicated to the great spirit each year and sometimes more than 5 days. Over the milenuem they had constructed a really long calender and a short one, the long one thousands of years old ststes something will happen around perhaps 2012, although no one has the code and only one computer was preserved, its at the vatican archieves. There were more than 10,000 tribes in North America. When an exceptional kid cmae into being he was sent into the culture of the mayan, one dedicated to the discovery of science. It would take the judeo-christian culture another 500 years to discover electrical energy, amd 700 for the binary computer. Given the level of their intellect and the long count computer, they are without doubt the oldest culture whose recordings survived. The believed the " Inuit " or the eskimos to be the people who survived the last great ice age. by living in ice homes and eatin blubber, from th coldbloodied creatures of the seas, and possibly the polar bear, we really don't have the answers, and academia is continually being disproven. the judeo-christians said it was bull for years and ultimately stated africa to be the beginning of man with a few bones to prove their theories. Now the seabottom core samples have revealed the true cycle of earth, consistant as far down as the core samples are readable. the cycle is, the earth goes for hundreds of millions of years in ice ages, followed by a few 10's of millions in warm times, this cycle has repeated itself some 6 times. the african theory is awash in axiomic suppositions. the native americans are likely the first civilized tribal communities on actual record, although they were discovered by the nobiity of europe less around 700 years ago, the vikings or germanic tribes, much earlier. the truth was not recorded with instrumentation which stood the test of time, other than the native american artifacts, which in reality outweigh any other stated evidence. The dead sea scrolls, upon discovery were examined by forensic scientists , who promptly declared them to be fraudlent, then some israeli experts denied these studies and the newsmedia took their words as fact, (lies)
