A Burrows Cave Update & Disturbing Efforts to Teach Fringe History to Teens

1/14/2014

50 Comments

 
Unfortunately, today I am suffering from a terrible migraine, one of the first really bad ones I’ve had in years, and I’m not going to be able to write as much as I’d like. In lieu of me suffering through an attempt to type, I’m going to direct you to Rick Flavin’s website where he has provided an update on the Burrows Cave affair, along with a recent addendum covering the America Unearthed broadcast about Burrows Cave. Full disclosure: Flavin emailed me to share the link, but he and I have never met nor discussed any of the material on his website.

Flavin offers an interesting take on the issue, made more compelling by the fact that he is very much open to the possibility of prehistoric trans-ocean contact (at least that’s the impression I get from his web page) but nevertheless actually wants to see evidence of this, evidence for which the Burrows Cave trove fails to provide.

There are a few interesting revelations. One of them is that the “replica” pieces of gold-painted lead shown on America Unearthed were purchased by Harry Hubbard from a Goodwill auction for scrap price after the Illinois attorney-general intervened to prevent the auction from claiming these were “collectibles.” Hubbard has never seen the originals but claims they must exist because of the “readable” Etruscan written on them, a language that has not been fully deciphered.

More interesting is Hubbard’s efforts to recruit Flavin for America Unearthed, considering that not long ago Hubbard wrote me emails with near-libelous claims about Flavin:

Harry claims to have Scott Wolter, the Minnesota geologist of Kensington Runestone infamy, on “speed-dial.”  Over our many weeks of hectic telephone calls, Hubbard often mentioned Wolter as being interested in his “Alexander the Great is buried in Southern Illinois” theory.  At one point, Harry alleged that Wolter inquired about me and “my” ability to be considered as an on-air “expert” in things fantastical, and I ...politely informed Hubbard that I wasn't interested.  Okay, it wasn't like that...  Actually, I declined by swearing like a drunken sailor. 

Most disgusting of all is Flavin’s discovery that Frank Joseph, the ex-Neo-Nazi and convicted sexual offender who is intimately involved in the efforts to promote Burrows Cave, recently published an article in a children’s reference book discussing the “discovery” of a Tibetan-Egyptian lost civilization in the Grand Canyon, the other subject of that same America Unearthed episode.

The book is called Lost Cities and Forgotten Civilizations and was edited by Michael Pye and Kirsten Dalley for Rosen Publishing, a leading scholastic reference publisher for middle and high schools, providing textbooks and library books for kids in grades 7-12. This is wrong on so many levels, from the subject matter to the choice of a man convicted of sexual molestation of 10-year-old boys to write it. Worse is the description of the book, right out of the fringe history playbook:

Leading experts and authors examine the Egyptian pyramids, studying their astronomical implications. Evidence suppression and archaeological scandals and are also covered, including the Smithsonian's "loss" of Maya skulls discovered in the Aleutian islands. Possible links between the Garden of Eden, the Tree of Life, the Great Flood, and the sinking of Lemuria are traced. What ancient civilizations knew about sound and resonance is chronicled, and how this knowledge may have been used to build megaliths and pyramids. Also revealed is the U.S. government's abiding and Indiana Jones-like interest in ancient civilizations, religious mysteries, and enigmatic artifacts. Whether you're a believer, a skeptic, or somewhere in between, this enthralling book is sure to entertain and educate.

Yes, let’s teach kids that the U.S. government is suppressing the truth, that a non-existent continent was real, and that it’s all connected to creationism. What. The. Fuck.

I love the way the skulls are now “Maya.” They were “giant” skulls when David Hatcher Childress wrote about them in 1993, and in any event, they are known only from a secondhand report from Ivan T. Sanderson that someone had written him a letter claiming that twenty years earlier the Smithsonian had made disappear some skulls that he thought were those of giants. (The provided measurements were actually within the normal range for humans.)

But if you look carefully, you’ll see something else. The book being offered to teenagers is a lightly edited (if that) version of Lost Civilizations & Secrets of the Past from—guess where—New Page Books. Kirsten Dalley is an editor at New Page Books, the company that publishes Erich von Däniken, Philip Coppens, and a host of other fringe authors. She claims to be a “credulous skeptic” who has had supernatural experiences. If you click the link, you’ll see the two editors (who are credited on both books) even reused the same promotional copy but made it seem more acceptable to schools and libraries by removing the names of ancient astronaut theorists, fringe writers, and Ancient Aliens from the copy.

Rosen Publishing should be ashamed, and schools and libraries ought to be warned about this fringe history nonsense being passed off as a reference work for teenagers.

I sent a question about this to Rosen Publishing, and I will let you know when and if they respond with a comment.

Wow I was surprised to read the Hubbard has ties to Steven Greer and the alien body that really is a mummified baby for Chili.

Its a small world and I guess like minds group together.

Thanks for the link, Jason

and that should be from Chili, I am not advocating using mummified babies for chili.

Also I found the Sirus Doc from Steven Greer on youtube

I applaud your efforts to expose the sordid affair called Burrows Cave even further.

The fraud was semi-successful in the past, and it looks like unethical scoundrels are trying to keep the deception going for ill-gotten profit, still. Here it looks like we have persons interested in exploiting history, rather than contributing to history in any meaningful way. I agree that we should be outraged.

My view is that anyone connected to Burrows Cave should be perceived as having a dark cloud over their heads. There seems to be no good in Burrows Cave, nor has there ever been anything good, only deception. I hope the "artifacts" from Burrows Cave come to be treated like the Gacy clown paintings. I read that some of the paintings were purchased and burned.

Perhaps in this present case of "fraudulent stone appropriations," a similar attitude can be taken. Maybe Harry or Scott or someone else would be willing to make a public sacrifice for the common good, and pound some of these "artifacts" into submission.

After all, a correct historical perspective is important, not to mention the need for all-around better ethics. In Burrows Cave, unfortunately, we are still dealing with corruption and a serious slipping of morals. In my opinion, HH cannot keep a straight face and say that he believes in what he's doing, unless that is to simply muster up ill-gotten profits. Fooling people still seems to be the name of the game.

There is no justification, either, for introducing--indeed, infiltrating --pure fantasy where acceptable history is called for in schools. We see too often that marketers don't always have good ethics and morals, either. This unethical material was pushed. All kinds of bad ideas can be easily pushed along with ill-gotten money. It is a bad circle when bad money is thrown at a bad cause, but the marketing can sometimes hit its mark, and seem to work.

In this case, I agree with Jason that it is a good and noble idea to bash this book, and to thwart its sly intrusion into our kids' schools...especially considering all the negativity attached to its background and publication. Yes, I agree that this bad apple should be extracted from the barrel called history--or even the barrel called fringe history!

Burrows Cave is deplorable, yet interesting as a study into the criminal mind....

Just a footnote about the effects of "malicious" marketing, from a personal perspective. A local (MN) "Dr. of Engineering" has been touting a ridiculous idea to capture wind, and he's been getting fabulous funding, which in this circle of intrigue enables him to afford, in my view, unscrupulous marketing. He's been able to reach many media outlets this way, even though he has already been identified as a charlatan This is my idea of bad money pushing a bad idea in a circle...and it somewhat working, unfortunately. (You can read about this craziness by hitting the green Gunn above, which will take you to my wind turbine invention site... then see the page about "Invelox.")

Faith is the totally wrong word to use. Faith is the direct opposite of scepticism and putting things to the critical test - something that believers in the KRS are incapable of doing

Let`s not play semantics here.We perfectly understand what Other J meant.Gunn has been around us for a while now,he has not given up on his KRS claim yet,but he is becoming increasingly skeptical & critical.This is a good development.

Gunn
1/15/2014 01:43:50 am

I appreciate the favorable comments. There is a difference, though, between my religious faith, and my belief that the KRS is genuine.

Religious faith is "the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen," while believing the KRS is genuine requires only extensive study, no faith or hope.

My belief in the KRS has nothing to do with faith. Hope is always nice, though, for example, hoping that eventually evidence with in-situ provenance will be discovered in "New Gotaland."

Stoneholes seem stupid on the surface of things up here, but in reality they are hundreds of clues...rock-hard, solid glue holding a European medieval adventure together. (No faith required--unless you, yourself, are the adventurer, perhaps.)

I hope Jason opens a blog heading devoted to stoneholes, where all this can be brought forth in a more concise, meaningful way. Again, thanks for the good comments, which I almost never get...and I hope nobody has just changed their mind!

Okay, just to be clear, I was only playing on words with "faith," and "keeping the faith" is an American idiom for staying committed to a cause, not about religion. Billy Joel has a whole song about it.

I enjoyed reading the Flavin article. My favorite quotation, concerning the America Unearthed Burrows Cave episode, was:

"Such programming could be termed medicinal, as there have been credible reports of people having movement of feces through their colon while watching America Unearthed."

I like Flavin's conflation of twisted and history to create "twistory".

"Hubbard has never seen the originals but claims they must exist because of the “readable” Etruscan written on them, a language that has not been fully deciphered."

Jason,this so unfair!.Hubbard can rely on Paul Schaffranke expertize.Schaffranke is an "electrical engineering,professional gambler,musician,former US army intelligence,expert in both military history and ancient history,world traveler-explorer,mythologist,linguist & ancient languages scholar.

According to Schaffranke`s bio:" he is expert in the following ancient languages: Aramaic, Punic (Phoenician), Nabatean, Greek, Latin, Etruscan, Oscan, Berber, Egyptian (Glyph, Hieratic and Demotic), Akkadian, Runic and Iberic. In addition to knowledge of these languages, he fervently studies the following scripts and alphabets: Arabic, Faliscan, Sumer, Hungarian, Russian, Sanskrit, Coptic, Linear A and B, Lycian, Maya and of course his own ancient language called Schaff* which he dedicates to the memory of his grandfather Schaffranke. To this day, there is no scholar or professor the world over who has successfully challenged Paul or the accuracy of his decipherment capabilities".

Since KRS has already been brought up, I have a question for GUNN - Do you believe it is possible that Olof Ohman lied about the finding? If not, how is that different than faith? I'm not trying to dog you, I really want to understand the point of view of those who begin their logic with "Of course Olof was telling the truth" and then proceed from there. ps The KRS is nowhere near the absurdity of Burrow's Cave. There is no Burrow's Cave, there "is" a KRS.

Sorry, but understandably, I'm going to wait for a more appropriate thread.

I'm not surprised and that leaves us all to conclude that you accept any and all uncorroborated personal testimony as truth. That's your prerogative, but it is certainly an act of faith, and it surely raises eyebrows all around. What about the alien abductees? You're not besmirching "their" reputations are you?

I have more experience with migraines than I really wish I did. A few things that have worked for me are naproxen and caffeine. I was once prescribed naproxen horse pills for migraine -- 1000 mg bullet-sized pills, which is about four or five regular OTC 220 mg pills. So if you don't already have a prescription and aren't averse to a fistful of pills, downing five with a cup of coffee or tea when you first feel it coming on can often cut it off at the pass. Just have to get ahead of it early before it jumps on your back.

That and keep the lights down. Good luck.

Come on people, stop being indoctrinated muppets. If they can teach absurd fairy tales like evolution and big bang theory in schools why can't these claims get a fair shake? You guys probably still believe Christopher Columbus discovered the new world. Never mind those pesky details like the Chinese, Egyptian and Norse expeditions and those pesky ancient maps that detail the Americas long before Columbus. Oh and the people already living there. We'll just ignore them and their history of how they got there. I know you dingalings believe in the heliocentric model even though the earth in motion has never been proven and no space agencies have ever released any videos of the earth spinning. How about how EVERY object we put in space has to be in orbit despite the claims that the earth spins below them. Why couldn't we put one far enough away from earth (or in between gravitational pulls) and have it stationary? Because it would move with the rest of space around earth! This is the main reason for low Earth orbit. There's less resistance from the universal spin closest to the hub. Go watch this time lapse video of the Milky Way and see the universe circle earth with polaris (navigational star DIRECTLY above the North Pole) as a fixed point, then maybe trust your own eyes? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nam90gorcPs .Universe means one verse. Genesis 1:1 In the beginning (Time) God (who) created the heavens (Space) and the earth (matter). I'm not trying to be an ass, it's just all these indoctrinated people make me feel like Roddy Piper was right when he said They Live was a documentary. The elite satanist are screwing you and spreading their diseased philosophy. Which by the way, they don't even believe themselves. Oh the irony...
