(1) It's going to be a pleasure to meet someone who is conducting a research on the Origin of Ancient Human Civilizations at the PhD level. The problem arises in your research when we see agency that doesn't exist. Not only do we see agency in how individual object behaves, but we also see agency collectively behind events. Maybe it will surprise you to notice that this leads to conspiracy thinking.

(2) Now we're going to tie in Pattern Recognition and Agency Detection. When we see a pattern that we think it can't be a coincidence, these separate things could not of all happened by coincidence alone. The patterns seem too compelling because we making a lot of logical fallacies. We're underestimating how often such pattern should emerge by chance alone.

(3) Then, we further assume that, if there is a pattern, there must be an agent behind that pattern. There must be a CONSPIRACY. There are some organization or some power, or perhaps even there might be some magical agent at work, or some force of nature that are making things happened the way they are, because otherwise, we wouldn't see these patterns.

(4) And I want you to notice something that's happening to you. There is a psychological phenomenon known as Pareidolia, which is a tendency to see a pattern in random stimulus. The brain sees pattern to fit the stimuli, as the brain is constructing what we think, see, and remember. It also trying to make a pattern that fits patterns that we are familiar with. One of the interest things I'd like you to discover is that, once that happens, it's very difficult to “un-see” it, as you now no longer not see the pattern that your brain has clicked in the place.

Ultimately, the philosophical question in your research might look like this: “What does it mean to know the Conspiracy Theories of Ancient Human Civilizations?”

Have you ever wondered that if you weren't provoked by others, you should have noticed that such statement would make a criterion against your intellect, and whatsoever you have posted so far?

1. Have you ever had a feeling that history is repeating itself? Do you think that much of what is happening in our world today has happened before? And if you think it has, do you think it will happen again in the future? There are a possible alternate history of humankind that isn't normally taught in our textbooks.

2. It is no coincidence far beyond coincidence.

3. There are cover up of story in public and media. or some shadow branch dealing with.

4. As in life, we need two sides of the self (the left and right) in order to arrive at a new destination; each of which carrying, supporting and resting upon the other at a series of specific increments and pertinent placements. A perfect balance of give and take allows the whole to prosper and develop. The seemingly conflicting mind-sets of the skeptic and the believer are entirely dependent upon one another to keep the other in perspective. It was....It was...and what you see around you was grow and develop and it can't be seen as a fault.

5. We’ve all heard stories about sumerian,pyramid egypt, mayan etc...as a proof. Of course, the cover-up by the government is a natural event that would be inevitable if such an event actually occurred. I will limit my answer here to what hasn’t been explained and proven elsewhere.

History repeating itself and alternate history are not related to each other.

This makes no sense at all.

If this was true, why are there still so many conspiracy sites out there? Wouldn't they have been eliminated by now if this was true?

You are not following your own advice. You are focusing specifically on one side only without showing any proof that it is true.

In another word,you can't explain it yourself because you don't really understand what you are reading. If you propose something, it is your responsibility to justify it yourself.

Okay, you are right, for example, emergency response to natural disasters can be improved. you never know. truth IS stranger than fiction.

You are not making sense. Words have meaning when used correctly.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA .. SIGH..
