Quoted By:
Gautama Buddha was once asked by one of his disciples about the antiquity of humanity. In response, he stated that if one were to stab a pin into the ground, there is not a single spot on any of the spaces on the surface of Earth that doesn't contain deteriorated human corpses. In other words, EVERY spot on the surface of our planet was once a human burial ground. If what Gautama Buddha said was true, then consider the vast durations of time that so-called 'anatomically modern humans' must have spent on this planet for THAT many deteriorated human corpses to accumulate on the surface of Earth! To be completely honest, I doubt that humans even originated on this planet. Also, if we had the ability to nuke ourselves in the deeply prehistoric past, don't you think that this would also open the doors to MANY other similar possibilities too? For example, if humans possessed nuclear weaponry in forgotten eras, does it not then seem similarly likely that we also possessed electronic appliances (for example) which would parallel the computers and televisions we take for granted today? Most modern mainstream anthropologists (and most people in general) can't seem to embrace any other view of extremely ancient human civilisations other than the orthodox, linear and progressive view that the further back in time you go, the more technologically primitive human civilisations become. But if you truly think about it, if so-called 'anatomically modern humans' have existed on Earth for 50 million years (for argument's sake), why wouldn't we be able to construct highly technologically advanced civilisations for ourselves even over a million years ago?
