Drawing Wild Conclusions

Today was usual, I took a shower to get ready for work, took
a clean uniform from the closet and was soon ready to face the
traffic of my shift. Sometime later, after arriving at work,
I found a small porous stone in my pant pocket. It would have
been easy to speculate as to how it found its way into my
pocket. I could have said some little person with a mischievous
nature threw a handful in the washer as we did the laundry. But
then, I could have said I got the little stone in there at work
even though I don’t work around gravel or sand being loaded or
hauled. I could have said it got there while gardening, but I
live in an apartment. I could draw up any conclusion as to how
the stone got in my pocket, said that’s how it happened and
announced the end to the mystery. But, it wouldn’t have been
the truth.

The same thing is going on in our public school system today
to a large extent. When the subject comes around as to who
built the pyramids, how and why – our educators come to one
conclusion. They tell our young the stones were quarried else-
where, moved across desert sands by hundreds of men dragging
them. Then they propose the same men built ramps of sand to
drag the stones up and into place.

That sounds a bit ridiculous when you consider the fact that
today we do not have the equipment nor technology to do such
things. And these stones were perfectly cut and sized. How can
we expect a culture, a civilization, many insist were primitive
(compared to us) were able to do it? Even if the Ancient
Egyptians had the ability to move these huge multi-tons stones,
how did they cut them to the exact shape and size miles from
the construction sites?

The educational system would rather make up wild and unbelievable
stories to drill into our children’s young impressionable minds
than to admit they don’t have a clue as to how such massive
structures were built. Even with the thousands upon thousands of
folk lore stories of ancient advanced civilizations, the thousands
of ancient text and manuscripts, and scores of geological and
archeological findings – our educators still say the pyramids were
built the way the always have. They refuse to admit they were
wrong, till the do admit it, they will be wrong.

If they would just admit they don’t know, maybe these young and
impressionable minds would search for the truth. But as long as our
educational systems and government keep hiding the truth, these
young minds have less information to begin their search for the
truth. I for one refuse to support public education as long as the
educators keep covering the truth and hiding the evidence.

As far as the little stone I found in my pocket, I didn’t dream up
any wild possibilities as to how it got there, I just accepted the
fact that I didn’t know. At least I’m not trying to blame it on some
little invisible, mischievous fairy. Me blaming a fairy would be as
wild as our educators telling our kids those pyramids were built by
thousands of men to be used as tombs. The sad thing is – people would
rather believe the lie than to demand the truth.
