Could someone please edit the spelling corrections in my post? This is what happens when I try to write when I'm excited.

I know, this sounds like a quack theory- but hey, it still sounds better than Jesus and El Cid being the same person.

What d'ya mean - they're not the same person!!!

I personally beieve that one day we will be able to prove that the first civilizations appeared in the last ice age, and that they ave been going through a cycle of buildup and destruction ever ince, the latest cycle having ended in the global dark age in the 400's.

I don't think it's a quack theory at all, even though there's no evidence to support it I believe it's entirely possible. Men are wretched creatures, we have a tendency to destroy ourselves for any number of reasons and there's no reason to think civilization didn't exist far before what we currently believe.

This theory has also been applied to the universe as a whole, alot of scientists believe that instead of just one big bang that created the universe out of nothing that there have been in fact an uncountable number of big bangs going back quite possibly to infinity, that there was no beginning it's always been there. From what we know of the universe, all the matter in it (galaxies, planets, stars) are all expanding outwardly away from the center due to the big bang. It's believed though that at the core of the universe there's some sort of supercondensed matter that everything kind of revolves around, and every few hundreds of billions of years the outward motion of the galaxies stops and everything goes right back in, condensing to the point where it all explodes again causing yet another big bang.

Heh, that was completely unrelated but still I think it's pretty cool :)

Shellshock- the Jesus- El Cid theory is actually in the book. That's part of what makes it so ridiculous.
