I'd rather not mix archaeology with politics. The museum fire was heartbreaking but to call it a conspiracy against our own history is too far fetched.
Don't get me wrong. I despise the current government. I just don't think there's any conspiracy here.
- gcb0 8y agomaybe the museums fire were just a coincidence, but read the news if you want more concrete conspiracies. there are thousands on native Brazilians protesting in brasilia today, and the biggest complaint is that their political representation is being systematically undermined: https://www1.folha.uol.com.br/poder/2019/04/governo-bolsonaro-quer-dividir-movimento-indigena-dizem-lideres.shtml https://www1.folha.uol.com.br/poder/2019/04/governo-bolsonar...
- alganet 8y agoThis has nothing to do with whether the Romans arrived here in ancient times or not. We're in a deep polarized state right now and there's a popular urge to infuse any discussion with these political overtones. This might be needed for current themes like education and economy, but it has no stake whatsoever in ancient human expeditions across the atlantic.
