Bone marrow biopsy... negative for cancer, etc. 😇
I looked for a graphic representation of how cyclical rising and falling of civilizations, that I have seen on the web, covers tens of thousands of years. Couldn't find it - not that it is necessarily authoritative, just an effective representation of the theory.
That theme is the foremost basis for the work that I linked. Since you show interest in the subject, I hope you can look at it. My explanation is that, since the principle of evolution demands a view of slow barely noticeable changes over long periods of time, there is an inherent bias in to recognizing the possible existence of such cycles of high civilizations.
You mentioned ancient lenses, which provides an excellent example of what evolution tends to reject. I note in my previous posting link about the famous Egyptologist, Sir Flinders Petrie; he notes in his writings that some of the stone work art rendered in ancient Egypt could not be accomplished without mechanical devices with jewel grinding stones, some on lathes. While his great expertise in ancient Egyptology is considered almost unmatched, such claims have been totally ignored.
This is indicative of modern 'science'; what it's traditional rules of interpretation cannot explain is not referred for further research - it is totally ignored, or viciously attacked. A good example is noted in my book manuscript concerning the emergence of the phenomenon of ancient cave paintings. Please read if you are interested.
It is my view that, prior to Darwin's writing, there was little resistance to the idea that the world was created. For whatever reason, Darwin knocked that tradition into a cocked hat - not really his intention at the time.
At that time the world's press was drawn to the discovery of compelling proof of Noah's Ark being exposed on Turkey's Mount Ararat. There was a monastary on the lower slopes of Ararat that had collected artifacts from gleanings on the mountain. Many interesting items were documented.
Then an expedition climbed high on the mountain and apparently discovered what was believed to be remnants of a huge boat. Headlines exploded around the world and popular interest was generated.
Then Darwin's book was publicized and overnight all interest in the findings on Arafat were extinguished, never to be really rekindled. The power of the press reared its head. Subsequently a huge earthquake and landslide buried the monastery and formed the deep gash, the Ahora Gorge. Some claim that the splitting that formed the gorge divided the Ark structure in half. Photographic evidence is somewhat inconclusive.
The point is that discoveries on Arafat attract little world attention. U.S. astronaut James Irwin, of Apollo 15, climbed Ararat in 1982. Little attention was paid to the effort.
