4.0 out of 5 stars Darwin: So Much To Answer For!, July 14, 2005

By 

Johns (London, England) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Mysterious Origins of Man: Rewriting Man's History (DVD)

45 minutes of discussion about archaeological discoveries that challenge the traditional Darwinistic view of evolution. I found it compelling viewing and I understand that it outraged certain historians who were unhappy that NBC had broadcast such an irresponsible show. Of course, it could be argued that Darwin was obviously incorrect because no "missing link" has been found. Well, here you can witness remains of an ancient city in Bolivia dating to 12,000 BC, learn how archaeologists' careers can be wrecked if they stand by what they consider correct datings for man-made artifacts that challenge the orthodox Darwinistic view of history, and discover how man-made spherical objects were found that are millions of years old! Contributors include the authors of the highly regarded Forbidden Archaeology. It's just a shame this documentary isn't longer!

5.0 out of 5 stars The controversial 1996 NBC documentary challenging the uniformitarian "science" of man's origins, July 7, 2008

(HALL OF FAME REVIEWER)    (TOP 100 REVIEWER)    (VINE VOICE)    (REAL NAME)   

This review is from: The Mysterious Origins of Man: Rewriting Man's History (DVD)

This is an excellent documentary first aired on NBC in February 1996; hosted by the distinguished Charlton Heston, it's a virtual who's who of groundbreaking scientists and thinkers challenging the uniformitarian views of Egyptologists, naturalists, archaeologists, paleontologists, and Darwinists with a myriad of facts which don't fit the established story of man's origins and evolution. It is perhaps the ultimate of ironies that modern science has become the very thing it fought to overcome for so many centuries, an unmoving monolithic "church" that dismisses and ignores any and all evidence that casts doubt upon its proclaimed edicts and actively persecutes those it deems the most dangerous heretics. Thus, modern man first appeared in southern Africa 100,000 years ago, slowly migrated across the continents, reaching South America some 15,000 years ago; the Great Sphinx was built by ancient Egyptians in the third millennium BC; the Great Pyramids at Giza are funerary monuments built at roughly the same time as the Sphinx; all plants and animals evolved via a process of natural selection over the slow progress of millions of years, culminating in modern man first emerging some 100,000 years ago, with civilized man eventually appearing all of a sudden in ancient Egypt, Sumeria, etc. - and there's to be no argument about any of this.

In this documentary, however, you will learn about a number of "anomalous artifacts" that strongly suggest, if not prove, that anatomical man as we know him today has been here for millions of years and that a lost, highly advanced civilization thrived many thousands of years ago, when science tells us man's forbears were the most primitive of hunter-gatherers. You will hear from Dr. Virginia Steen-McIntyre, who was basically blackballed and ridiculed out of her specialized field after verifying (using two different methods) that sophisticated stone tools found at Hueyatlaco, Mexico, were - much to her own surprise - around two hundred and fifty thousand years old. See with your own eyes the demonstrably human footprints found alongside dinosaur tracks in the once-muddy plains near Glen Rose, Texas (some of them found underneath ancient limestone ledges). View the ruins of Teohuanaco in modern-day Bolivia and ponder hard evidence that it was built at least 12,000 years ago - and with the help of metal clamps - making it the oldest city ever discovered. Take a gander at ancient maps accurately depicting the coastlines of Antarctica as they exist underneath the ice. Hear how the tenets of Darwinism are ponderously weakened by the fact that no missing links have yet to be found to explain man's evolution from the ape-like creatures of pre-history.

The cutting-edge scholars appearing in this documentary include Richard Thompson and Michael Cremo (authors of Forbidden Archaeology), Graham Hancock, Robert Bauval (whose astronomical study of the Sphinx dates it to 10,500 BC), Rand Flem-Ath (who builds upon the pioneering work of Charles Hapgood to explain the fate of Atlantis), Richard Milton, and David Hatcher-Childress. Although it's now over twelve years old, this documentary is still very much worth a look. Don't buy this version, though - there is a UFO TV Special Edition featuring over four hours of additional material.

5.0 out of 5 stars Love it!, October 6, 2008

I have learned alot from this documentary, it is very informative. I'm sure that a lot of people don't know about the dinosaur and human footprints in the rocks side by side. Do you think it was his or her pet? I really liked this because I love science!! History, or discovery I am there.
