Exiled miners of King Solomon?

Decendants from those who survived the destruction of Lemura or Atlantis?

"Decendants from those who survived the destruction of Lemura or Atlantis?"

Maybe.

Dr Schoch wrote a pretty good book along that line.

Voyages Of The Pyramid Builders

Editorial Reviews

The great pyramids of Egypt provide a wonderful glimpse of the artistry, skill and imagination of the ancient world. But pyramids can be found in India, China, Peru, Bolivia, Mexico and Ireland.
In this provocative book, geologist Schoch (noted for his work in redating the Sphinx, which was recounted in his Voices of the Rocks) wonders how so many diverse cultures built such similar structures with similar purposes.

Using geological, linguistic and geographical evidence, he contends that a protocivilization of pyramid-building peoples was driven out of its homeland, the Sundaland, which geologists believe connected Southeast Asia with Indonesia, by a rise in sea level caused by comet activity between 6000 and 4000 B.C. Fleeing their homeland, these peoples took their knowledge of pyramid building with them into Sumeria, Mesopotamia, Egypt, China and Peru.
Schoch hypothesizes that the pyramids were built to reach into the skies and to penetrate the mystery of the heavens, source of catastrophe.
Schoch also asserts that the pyramids point to unity and symbolize the deep concerns shared by all humans.

Schoch builds his engrossing case on geological details of the pyramid sites he has examined around the world. In the end, however, even he admits his evidence of a Sundaland protocivilization is speculative. As controversial as this book is bound to be, Schoch's evocation of the pyramids forcefully reminds us of their enduring power as monuments to the spirit of human creativity. 16 pages of color photos not seen by PW.

"Peru is a huge country the size of the 5 west coast states, California, Oregon, Washington, Nevada, and Montana."

This seemed to be off, so I checked. After conversion from sq km to sq miles, Peru has 496,226 sq miles. The 5 States have 589,009 sq miles. Even after substracting Washington State, the remaining four States are still bigger by 10,000 sq miles. Peru is still bigger than I thought it was.

What surprised me was that Montana is on the west coast.

"...Ordinary white people only have a half hour or so...

Hey, who you calling ordinary!?

[muawiyah]

"Ordinary" ~ as in "common", "easily found", etc.

Folks who can swim steadily for up to 4 hours in 32 degree F water are not ordinary.

We can fight this out at mid-river come early February if you wish!

A Sunderhuasi, a typical Chachapoyan dwelling.

800 AD? Aw, that will be a disappointment to the Mormons hoping for some glimmer to cling to.

I had a professor at Texas State University (then known as Southwest Texas SU) who worked for the Lacandoan Maya. Pretty interesting tribe.

I think Solomon is from a later time than the Egyptian mummies with the cocaine!

So, maybe the other way around.

[blam]

"I think Solomon is from a later time than the Egyptian mummies with the cocaine!"

So, they had the cocaine before Solomon came along?

[muawiyah]

One article said: "The controversy began in the early 1990s, when a team of German researchers published a couple short papers claiming they'd found significant traces of cocaine, nicotine, and "hashish" in several Egyptian mummies, some of which were more than 3,000 years old."

Solomon is circa 10th Century BCE.

If something is more than 3000 years old it is BEFORE Solomon.

Not all that much "before" but enough.

Of interest the royal annals of the Celts who lived in NW Spain (Galicia) refer to Solomon and actually got the time-frame right ~ which has always been a worry to those who think most of the content is just BS.

Those guys mostly lived at sea ~
