Uncomfortable Moments, for Science

A more precise description of the recording of history than any other I have seen…

It is precisely at such moments that you realize: history is not a static text from a textbook, but a living process that is constantly rewritten with new facts. Yesterday we were sure of one thing; today, new data forces us to reconsider what seemed to be unshakable notions.

That is a quote from the article linked below, in the Russian online compendium of interesting news and subject matter on all things of a technical nature, aptly named ‘Tehnikum’ which, if you have a decent browser like Yandex, can be set to translate automatically into your own language.

Mammoths and radiation: inconvenient discoveries that change the picture of the past. – Tehnikum – Oct 6, 2026

Being strongly interested in everything that is interesting in the world, especially things which question our ‘knowledge’ of the past, which is not always laid down clearly and carefully in our best interests but perhaps with the limited knowledge available at the time of its discovery and, not always quite honestly but twisted a little to preserve the general zeitgeist of the approved version of human history. I was instantly drawn to read around this suggested changing of the ‘picture of the past’. While also being thankful that there are others still prepared to question that narrative. There is nothing sacrosanct about science. It mostly ends up being ‘someone’s opinion’, approved by other ‘someones’ with related interests in guarding the sum of so-called knowledge we already possess. Which ‘knowledge’ is what, in turn’ becomes embedded in the record and therefore sacrosanct instead of the truth hidden by lies (or misunderstandings – deliberate or not), and which remain mostly unknown by most of us – but never quite buried. The truth, ignored in order to maintain the semblance of a correct historical record or a science discipline, always leaves holes or gaps which remain as weak spots in the arguments and need more lies to cover them. Never satisfactorily, and always yielding itches which need to be scratched. There are many such itches, especially in Egyptian history, which still provide open wounds and intense effort to fill them. There are periods of hiatus in Greek and other empirical histories which would simply disappear if Egyptian history were to be correctly aligned. It is not always errors in coordination of timing that gives rise to these mistakes. Sometimes it is a short-sighted non-acceptance of recorded narrative – as in the case of the Anunnaki – and othe cases of flying gods. Those cases dismissed almost entirely due to the one god myth – something, the product also of the mind of man, this time to deliberately distort reality, which seems to have escaped censorship for more than 2,000 years but is now also coming unraveled. So it is a refreshing ‘breath of fresh air’ to find such matters to be questionable occasionally, don’t you think? This is especially so for people like me who hold alternative ideas about the times in question and who delight in the fact that the world is beginning to question the validity of accepted narratives. The more we learn of our world, the more that will happen, as the manufactured narratives are unable to stand firm in the growing light and the passage of time.

The story above from Tehnikum about Mammoths with ‘glow in the dark’ tusks and internal bones is a good example of that.

While the historical record claims Mammoths to have appeared around 300,000 years ago and mostly disappeared around 10,000 years ago, the cause attributed to climate change, the extinction was not total. Some colonies of these great beasts lived on until around 3,700 years ago. Both cases of disappearance are within the rapid warming event which marks the Holocene period, although both still within the ice age which persists today, but only the second and final event which marked the end of the species could legitimately be said to have been a climate change experience. The average global temperatures at that time having reached roughly only one degree Celcius higher than today’s level. Which means that there must have been slightly more sea ice melting over perhaps a few more Summer months within the Arctic Circle than today, but I think nothing truly drastic.

Here is some more information on the end of the Mammoths. I may take this up again later, because it is a very interesting period of history. We have written historical records going back that far and some art works.
