What knowlege were they destroying?

For the same reason that they ordered the destruction of dozens of other gospels and make numerous attempts to destroy the "heretical" Christian sects.\n\nThey were terrified of any knowledge that ran counter to "orthodoxy" and had any ties to paganism.  With Rome backing them, they had the power to crush anyone different.  This attitude persisted for almost a thousand years until Aquinas showed there was something to be found in classical knowledge.\n\nEven the Pantheon was converted to a Christian monument and most Pagan references removed as late as the 17th Century.\n\nTHAT'S the reason why they are called the dark ages, as so much knowledge and enlightenment was lost.\n\nPity.

the government knew about it, they just didn't do anything about it. it gave them a reason to go and attack iraq. it's just another step closer to a world lead by one person, the anti-christ. remember, iraq and the rest of the middle east aren't the only ones that are under the influence of propaganda, we are too... it's just a matter of whether we listen to it or not.

Uh yeah they killed people by making them drink water/gas until they burst. They wouldn't let anyone throw the bodies away to emphasize how everyone should be afriad of them. Dogs became fat from eating the bodies. They impaled babies on bayonets. They has killing contests that were endlessly upped from 100-150 because they lost track of how many people they had killed. They set fire to people's pubic hair with gas to see who would run farthest/scream loudest. They didn't pay any reparations for what they did, in fact they received aid from the US. Also members of the imperial family were involved in the actual battles.

They should serve some jail time, pay restitution to the churches for reconstruction, & be required to put in manual labor for the resonstruction of each one. How can they try to say it was just a prank gone bad?

How To Destroy America\n10-31-2003\n\nLast week, I attended an immigration-overpopulation conference in Washington, DC, filled to capacity by many of America's finest minds and leaders. Writers, speakers, CEO's, representatives from Congress such as Tom Tancredo as well as former governors graced the podium. Bonnie Eggle, mother of the national parks ranger Chris Eggle, slain by Mexican drug runners last year on our unguarded southern border--gave a compelling speech that left not one dry eye in the place. Peter Gadiel, father of Jamie Gadiel, spoke powerfully on how the World Trade Center took his son and how nothing has been done since--to stop the flow of illegal immigration into the United States. Even with the façade of Tom Ridge's Homeland Security, 800,000 illegal aliens continue walking, crawling or tunneling across the Mexican border annually. Their accelerating numbers are undermining America's ability to function.\n \nDuring the conference, speaker after speaker astounded the audience with facts on how fast the present administration and congress continue dismantling the American Dream for average citizens. Mr. Rob Sanchez of Arizona, showed how H1 B and L 1 visas have ripped one million high tech jobs out of American worker's hands. Another speaker told a packed audience how 'offshoring' and 'outsourcing', fully supported by the president and congress have cost over three million American jobs in the past six years. His prediction was even more depressing: "In excess of three million more jobs will be 'outsourced' within four years. Those American jobs are headed to Mexico, India, China, Pakistan and Brazil." Later, a brilliant college professor named Victor Hansen Davis talked about his latest book, 'MEXIFORNIA', explaining how immigration, both legal and illegal, was destroying the entire State of California. He said it would march across the country until it destroyed all vestiges of the American Dream.\n \nMoments later, former Colorado Governor Richard D. Lamm, stood up and gave a stunning speech on how to destroy America. This writer sat in the audience spellbound by the eight methods for destruction of the United States.\n \nHe said, "If you believe that America is too smug, to self-satisfied, too rich, then let's destroy America. It is not that hard to do. No nation in history has survived the ravages of time. Arnold Toynbee observed that all great civilizations rise and fall, and that, "An autopsy of history would show that all great nations commit suicide."\n \n"Here is how they do it," Lamm said. "Turn America into a bilingual or multi lingual and bicultural country. History shows that no nation can survive the tension, conflict and antagonism of two or more competing languages and cultures. It is a blessing for an individual to be bilingual; however, it is a curse for a society to be bilingual. The historical scholar Seymour Lipset put it this way, "The histories of bilingual and bicultural societies that do not assimilate are histories of turmoil, tension and tragedy. Canada, Belgium, Malaysia, Lebanon-all face crises of national existence in which minorities press for autonomy, if not independence. Pakistan and Cyprus have divided. Nigeria suppressed an ethnic rebellion. France faces difficulties with Basques, Bretons and Corsicans."\n \nLamm went on, "Invent 'multiculturalism' and encourage immigrants to maintain their own culture. I would make it an article of belief that all cultures are equal. That there are no cultural differences. I would make it an article of faith that the Black and Hispanic dropout rates are due to prejudice and discrimination by the majority. Every other explanation is out of bounds."\n \n"We could make the United States an 'Hispanic Quebec' without much effort. The key is to celebrate diversity rather than unity. As Benjamin Schwarz said

The conquistadors destroyed their highly developed agriculture which allowed the growth of cities.  It broke down the hierarchy of their government, too. The chaos of things broke down until it is how it is today.  Their way of life was blocked in many ways from developing toward what it had been.  There are definitely Mayan descendants still living.

I think it very convincing. I remember wondering why there was no exterior plane wreckage the day it happened. If it was a missile or a military plane the government would want to hush it up as it would be difficult to pin that on Islamic nationalists unless they had help. It is a bit like the anthrax attacks. One of the 9-11skyjackers was treated for an anthrax skin lesion, an extremely rare condition before 9-11. There was also a very direct link between one of the skyjackers and the first anthrax victim. His former landlord worked in the same building. Yet the government avoided investigating any links and tried to find a scapegoat.

World peace. Unfortunately that not going to happen. They only thing we can do at this time is just keep a very careful watch. The sad thing is there is no way to destroy them. By deactivating them we just turn them off. They can be reactivated.

Where do you get your information that the settlers were stealing from Indian graves?  And if this is true, you're putting way to bad of a slant on it.  The settlers of Massachusetts were a very religious group that would just steal unless it was a matter of survival more than likely.  What would you do for your family in a life and death situation?  Don't taint our country's history by making the settlers at Plymouth sound like a group of selfish and careless people.  Their first winter was very difficult, and they had to learn how to live all over again.  As for teaching this to elementary students, I think they would be a little young to understand the whole truth.  An older group of students would be able to grasp the details better and know that nothing was malicious in their acts, whatever their acts may have been.  Regardless of the truth, it should be told.  The truth shouldn't be twisted, but made to be understood.  Obviously there are adults out there that can't grasp the meaning behind some things either.

Let it go.... they should realize they were wrong.

The Israelite tribe records were destroyed in AD 70 when the Jerusalem temple was wiped out by the Romans. So no one can definitively say what (if any) Israelite tribe they descended from.
