The most significant falsehood perpetuated about humanity is the notion that the further back in time we go, the more ignorant and undeveloped people were. This myth is widely endorsed, with claims that during the Middle Ages, individuals at 30 were deemed very old.
The narrative of their poor quality of life is so prevalent that history textbooks may even claim that people slept in holes and used cobwebs for blankets. Similarly, it’s a widespread misconception that ancient humans dwelled in caves.
You may come across some rather outlandish claims about the ancients, such as fears of dying in their sleep leading them to sleep sitting up, using urine to wash clothes, or employing a sponge on a stick for toilet purposes. These notions seem illogical, yet they are often presented as historical facts in educational settings.
In contrast, there is evidence of a decline from a once-great civilization that had an exquisite appreciation for beauty and constructed magnificent cities, palaces, roads, and aqueducts across the world. They employed advanced construction techniques and technologies that appear superior to ours, moving massive stone blocks and fitting them together without cement, creating structures that have endured for centuries. These stones show no signs of being worked by hand, as they bear no tool marks and possess clean, smooth lines.
This civilization, as observed, was obliterated by a flood—nearly all the ancient edifices were buried under mudflows composed of mud and stones, necessitating excavation, even atop hills. Ancient streets lay hidden beneath a five-meter-thick layer of mud, replete with scoops, plinths, and bones. Excavations of such remnants continue in Turkey and Italy, and perhaps similar sites await discovery elsewhere if excavated correctly. Worldwide soil deposits of this magnitude suggest the action of vast water masses, capable of generating colossal tsunamis, depositing massive quantities of silt soil at elevations up to 3300 feet.
To grasp the reality of a civilization that could be described as “elven,” one need only visit Greece or Italy to witness the ancient ruins, colossal stones, and the beauty and aesthetics of the buildings. The creators of these structures were far from foolish or unlearned, excelling in aesthetics, eco-friendliness, and the robustness and magnificence of their constructions. Indeed, our burgeoning population has given rise to numerous towering apartment blocks, akin to termite mounds, yet this is a far cry from the splendor of ancient edifices.
The sculptures provide a glimpse into the appearance of this elven civilization. They are depicted as strikingly beautiful, with distinct straight noses, prominent chins, full lips, large, cow-like eyes, and curly hair. Such features are unique and unlike any living people you encounter nowdays, who resemble these ancient statues.
The term “elven civilization” is quite fitting; it encompasses not only the harmony and beauty of their architecture but also the fact that, as depicted in Tolkien’s books, this civilization was in decline. Many structures, such as the grand Baalbek, remain unfinished. There was a period when the elven civilization existed alongside us, the so-called human barbarians, and afterward, it was humans who inhabited these grand edifices, which were certainly not any kind of temples.
The notion that the ancients were foolish is a deliberate fabrication intended to divert our attention from seeking wisdom from them, encouraging us instead to chase after the latest “pseudo-discoveries” of scientists. This perpetuates the belief in pseudo-science over God and reinforces the misconception that progress is linear, without considering the possibility that we might be regressing.
