Thanks wildbill (topic and FReepmail), StayAt HomeMother (FReepmail), and TEXOKIE (ping). One of *those* topics, in part.

1. Disappearance of the Indus Valley Civilization With a culture that stretched from western India to Afghanistan and a population numbering over five million, the ancient Indus Valley people—India's oldest known civilization—were an impressive and apparently sanitary bronze-age bunch. The scale of their baffling and abrupt collapse rivals that of the great Mayan decline. But it wasn't until 1922 that excavations revealed a hygienically-advanced culture which maintained a sophisticated sewage drainage system and immaculate bathrooms. Strangely, there is no archaeological evidence of armies, slaves, social conflicts or other vices prevalent in ancient societies. Even to the very end, it seems, they kept it clean.

(1) The aliens came to take them home. Duh.
I wonder if the Indus decline coincided with the appearance of the Aryans? Or did the Aryans come to fill a void left by their decline?
For later
LOL!
Thanks. Kane and I laughed our butts off at that. Looks like he’s local to us, too in the 708..
Yeah.... what is with this guy’s hair. Doesn’t he realize how much of a douche bag he looks like. I saw him and thought “gee, the makeup people really hate him.” Then I realized that he wanted his hair like that... really bizarre.
They need to boost their clickthrough counts.
I would like to see him start by 'splainin' why he can't afford a 5 cent comb.
One of the items on the list is the Lost City of Helike. That is less mysterious than some of the others--its destruction can be dated to 373 B.C.
Plato's myth of Atlantis appears in two of his dialogues, the Timaeus and the Critias, which appear to be among his later works, probably later than the Republic. It's hard to determine when any of Plato's works was written but a date around 374 seems to be favored by some scholars for the Republic, so Plato could be writing about Atlantis after the destruction of Helike.

What's mysterious about that? A bunch of people have been brainwashed, through decades of equivocation that have erased the distinction between races and cultures, into believing that if a culture is primarily embraced by people of a certain race, an attack on that culture is an attack on that race, and also that an attack on one of that culture's heroes is an attack on the culture and by extension the race. Since it's wrong to attack people based on race, it is by extension wrong to attack someone who is revered by a culture that is primarily associated with a certain race.

I gotta go look and see if Judge Crater is on the list!
See here.
“In my yard - I don’t care!”
Bound to be a lost civilization in there somewhere.
Plus, their ratings have never been higher.
Far too many live un-examined lives. The absence of curiosity is very curious to me.
The disappearance of the Indus valley civilization isn’t a mystery at all. The rivers upon which they depended shifted course (earthquakes being a likely culprit there), and their cities were left without a water supply.
