The History Of Humankind You've Never Been Taught

Good afternoon to every Steemian on the planet. This post came from the thought of how great of an invention the Steemit platform has been to society as a whole. Whether you are an invenstor of Steem and Steem backed dollars or an individual who was shown what this concept is, it's hard to argue that Steemit is a very good invention. Now on with the real topic.

I enjoy reading and learning a great variety of subjects & I hope this post will educate and open your mind to the truth. Perception is everything or so the saying goes. What we "perceive" is dependent on how it's been "presented" to an individual or group of people.

Without cheating if I were to ask you the question, "what is the oldest known civilization in our Earth's history?" would you know the answer? A great trivia question to say the least and I'm sure some of you do know the answer. Hint: Recoreded information from around 3500 B.C. If you guessed or answered Mesopotamia you are correct!

Why is knowing this important? Knowing the truth is more productive to a society then withholding or lying about it. I remember reading a history book in grammer school. I also remember reading a paragraph on who invented the wheel and it gave the name that the Summerians had done so and nothing else more. I asked the teacher, "who were the Summerians?" Her reply was, "If you want to know go to the library and check the encyclopedia." (This was before the invention of the internet). This was also the standard answer of any teacher when they didn't know how to respond to a student and lacked the knowledge on any subject.

Here is a list of inventions from the Summerians and you be the judge to see how important they have been to humankind.

1. • Agriculture & Irrigation
2. • The Plow
3. • The first form of writing: Cuniform
4. • Mathematics
5. • The Wheel
6. • The Chariot
7. • The Sailboat
8. • Astronomy & Astrology
9. • Time
10. • Maps (Cartography)
11. • Urban Civilization
12. • Ur-Nammu law code (These codes were poor friendly and were established for protecting them from the rich classes.)
13. • (Bonus Invention) Checkers

Why wouldn't the history and discovery of all these inventions be taught in depth in all schools? Doesn't it make you wonder?

Now I ask you, for just a brief moment, to forget all that you might have been taught because it was presented to you by individuals who didn't want you to know the truth. What has been presented to you was someone elses truth. (I also am stating for the record, that the following video should NOT be taken as the gospel truth either, but certain facts cannot be ignored any longer.)

Now before you start getting into religious debates or go off on a tangent let me add another link on the oldest known human fossils discovered (so far)... https://www.theatlantic.com/science/archive/2017/06/the-oldest-known-human-fossils-have-been-found-in-an-unusual-place/529452/

As well as ancient sites that have been discovered but don't make the news (for some reason). http://www.ancient-origins.net/ancient-places-europe/monumental-cover-why-did-gobekli-tepe-end-dirt-008355

I hope this post at least made you think and question an individuals perception of truths. We've been told one thing either through news or books only to discover that what we've been originally told may not have been fact at all.
