Watched the German short film. It seems to me that:
- Edit: 0. in c. 44 BC Julius Caesar gives order to map whole world, after 26 years they bring back pineapples (here and here)
- 1. there was an ancient Pompeii that was destroyed by a volcano (fully pagan frescoes)
- 2. there was a medieval or renaissance era town, with same name, built in top of it (shown in maps)
- 3. this town had a paid canal work done
- 4. this town was destroyed, for second time, by the nearby volcano
- 5. some of the underground entrances were since then demolished on site (e.g. brick re-use, marble melting)
- 6. some of the re-found items or buildings could be from the medieval town, but not the pagan frescoes.
The revisionists may have undiscovered items #0, #2 and #6 by merely looking at old maps and architectural accounts, thus the mainstream history teaching ought to be revised due to that.
The historical difficulty comes from the fact, that the stone tablet commorating the later volcano eruption seems to use Latin and be written as an archaic Roman text - why not just in plain Italian of the era? The medical tools could be early 1600s tools, but I do not see a reason why they couldn't be real antiquity pieces as human anatomy and metallurgy were the same back then (not sure how screw threads were made, surely not by filing?). Three Graces painting (three women) is similar and one could wonder if the same pagan Roman fresco was actually
visible before the 1600s volcano eruption, or it's a case of standard cultural desing. See the bent tree
here and
here. Or the 10,000 year old Pisces astronomical symbol
here (bottom left). Edit: then we have the
Pompeii cross, perhaps pre-Christian symbol akin to Celtic
Esus the woodcutter (Jesus the
tektōn carpenter).
The video maker wonders how human society can be the same for 1000 or 1500 years - I claim that's nothing compared to whole millenias, or even tens of thousands of years, of mankind staying the same. Development across all areas tends to happen in bursts, as seen so well in the 1900s.
The textual revisionism is additional to all this Pompeii thing: were medieval ruler biographical details inserted into old genealogical tables (e.g. Bible) or vice versa? Was our Bible written in one go, or as the later New Testament textually modelled after the older Old Testament? What Greek, Buddhist, Sumerian etc stories the authors had to know in one form or another? Were the most historical pre-1600s dates retroactively calculated via astronomy? And so on.
Noted from the video the book on Sumerian things. I'll have to track that down, as Sumerian textual correspondence is the main argument for Oera Linda book narrative's authenticity (as opposed to the paper, which can be newer copy).
Edit: The Romans really did go all the way to Americas and pagan Pompeii shows that (it took them 26 years in the western direction, which makes no sense in regard to the western European countries known to Romans). Later the Roman Catholics re-learned of the Americas in c. 1076 via the Norse, from German Roman Catholic Adam of Bremen's
Gesta work (that mentions explicitly the Norse finding of new continent) and nowadays it's recognised that Milano Dominicanic monk
Galvaneus Flamma referred also to Americas in a 1345 document, using the Viking termonology of
Markland ("Marckalada").
Here's a 500s to 400s BC Buddhist work casually referring to Viracocha Pachayachicachan, his son Inti and the serpent cult as "Virūpakkha" (with
red skin!), "Inda" (after Indra) and "nagas" . As we see here, the story of western "India" predates Columbus by some ~ 1900 years.
