I said before that no one would check out the Black Sea bottom because no one had an INTEREST on checking the Black Sea bottom. From Bible thumpers to social scientists to Political Correctness to Marxism, everybody likes history just the way it is, rooted in the Middle East.

BUT the guy who made millions locating the Titanic found this to be a great project. HE now has a vested interest in pushing the IMPORTANCE of history up around Mount Ararat which, in historical terms, is about as Middle Eastern as Mongolia today.

This is how things REALLY work, and it is impossible to explain to someoe who WANTS not to understand. Most people have a vested interest in seeing the world as they see it now.

But in the real world research is not done by abstract entities, it is done by PEOPLE. A PERSON has no incentive to go after truth. As I said, Futurology has nothing to do with the future. It has to do with trends in Futurology, getting grants and publicity in the field, TODAY.

I was just looking at a Time Magazine from November 21, 1932. In the International section, discussion of German politics was under Belgium. Belgium was up in arms over what the experts said was the certainty of the restoration of the Kaiser in Germany. Belgium, which had been invaded in 1914 and occupied by the Kaiser’s Germany for four years, had parades in the streets against the restoration of the Kaiser.

In its report on the Munich Putsch in 1923, Time referred to Hitler as a “monarchist.” World War I dominated their memory, and the Kaiser was NEWS in 1932, whereas Hitler was a nobody.

One talking head was quoted as saying,” It is not a question of reestablishing the monarchy, the question is how it will be reestablished,” in other words, would it be the still-living Kaiser Wilhelm II or his successor?

Kaiser Wilhelm II lived in exile in the Netherlands. When Hitler occupied that country in 1940, the former Kaiser was guarded from all contact by German troops. He died in 1941 under the Third Reich.

For someone making a living as a writer for Time, the readers had to be given something they recognized and loved or hated. That meant the Kaiser in 1932.

U.S. explorers said on Wednesday they have found signs of human habitation hundreds of feet below the Black Sea where a catastrophic flood occurred about 7,500 years ago, which some scientists say is linked to the biblical story of Noah.

Explorer Robert Ballard, famous for discovering the wreck of the Titanic, said his National Geographic expedition found a ”rectangular structure,” possibly that of a building, about 310 feet below the sea’s surface, indicating people lived there before a massive flood inundated the area.

“It’s architecture and artifacts were of the Neolithic bronze age, which is from about 7,000 years ago,” said Ballard. The team’s chief archeologist, Fredrik Hiebert, described the finding as the “Pompeii of landscapes” and said it was typical of the wattle and daub homes seen on land.

“This is a major discovery that will begin to rewrite the history of cultures in this key area between Europe, Asia and the ancient Middle East,” said Hiebert, an archeologist from the University of Pennsylvania.
