REFLECTIONS OF THE FORBIDDEN ARCHEOLOGIST
|

How do you get
consciousness from matter? This
unanswered question remains a thorn in the side of physicalist science,
which
has been striving for decades to demonstrate that our consciousness, our
individual subjective experience, is generated
by neurons in the brain. In
April 2022, I attended The Science of Consciousness conference in
Tucson, Arizona.
Among the prominent neuroscientists there was Christof
Koch. Koch, in collaboration with Francis Crick, was one of the
founders of
the main physicalist approach to consciousness studies, the search for the
neuronal correlates of consciousness
(NCC). Once the neurons correlated with
consciousness, or some aspect of consciousness, are identified, the next step
is to
explain how the minimum set of neurons correlated with consciousness
actually generates it. Koch recalled that in the past he
had predicted that the
NCC would be completely identified within 20 years. In the 1990s, I had in fact
heard him say such
things at a previous meeting of this conference. But at this
meeting, he admitted he was mistaken and that scientists were still
far from
finding the NCC. Neurons correlated with consciousness are identified by
bioelectric scans and probes. Koch pointed
out that some of the neurons
identified in this way are associated with background processes in the brain
that are not exclusively
correlated with the generation of consciousness.
Screening out the neurons involved in these background processes is, he
admitted,
a major obstacle to finding the NCC.
Frustrated with failure of the NCC model, some scientists are proposing
that consciousness is not produced by neurons. Instead,
they say, it is a
relativistic product of different reference frames. Let’s say Bob and Alice are
in two trains crossing each other in
opposite directions. From Bob’s frame of
reference, he is stationary and Alice is moving. From Alice’s frame of
reference, she is
stationary and Bob is moving. What they experience depends on
the frame of reference. According to this approach, consciousness,
as a
relativistic phenomenon, arises in a certain frame of reference, and in another
frame of reference remains a pattern of bioelectric
activity. So what is that
frame of reference? A frame of reference is a coordinate system that must be
defined. No one knows now
what it is, and I predict that decades from now they
still won’t know. That’s because ultimately consciousness is nonmaterial. It is
distinct from matter.

Letters to mail@mcremo.com:
Dear Mr. Cremo:
I am a big fan of your work and am currently about halfway
through Forbidden Archaeology. Personally, I find it riveting and not at
all
forbidding! I came across this new study saying monkeys “may,” have made 50,000
yo stone tools in Brazil and was wondering
if you had any comment/thoughts?
This is just for my personal edification, I’m not a journalist or anything like
that.
https://m.jpost.com/archaeology/article-726324/amp
Hope to hear from you!
Best,
Pierce MacGuire
Michael Cremo responds:
Dear Pierce MacGuire,
Apparently,
capuchin monkeys use simple stone tools. This has to be taken into
consideration at sites where capuchin monkeys
existed at the time stone tools
were left there. But humans today make and use simple stone tools, like those
found in Brazil. So in
one sense, you could say either monkeys or humans made
them. If someone wanted to say the makers were definitely monkeys and
not
humans, one would have to show some features of the stone tools that would
allow one to distinguish between tools made by
monkeys and tools made by
humans.
If one wanted
to say the tools were definitely made by humans and not monkeys, one would have
to find some way to objectively
distinguish between them. One would also have
to consider all the evidence at the site. If it included stone tools of a kind
that is more
advanced than those known to be the work of Capuchin monkeys this
would favor humans as the makers. Evidence for deliberate use
of fire, or art
work (cave paintings for example) would also favor humans as the maker.

Dear Mr. Cremo,
A few recent
years ago I saw a most inspiring presentation of yours on youtube. Near the end
of the video, a Russian
archeologist/paleontologist gave you, as a gift, a
small piece of amber many years old to say the least.
In the amber was
a tiny swath of cloth.
In the video, a
close up of the amber was shown which zoomed in on the cloth. Of course this
was amazing; but infinitely more
amazing to me was that the individual fibers
of the cloth were ROUND in diameter and did not appear to be flat ribbon as are
natural
fibers under the microscope.
It suddenly
dawned on me that the bit if cloth frozen in the amber is synthetic!!!
Simple PLM
microscopy and phase contrast microscopy would very easily reveal the true
nature of the fibers in the cloth.
Proving
that these fibers are synthetic would be astonishing, and infer
that a great and ancient civilization had industries similar to our own if
not
superior to ours.
Again what caught
my eye from the video is that the fibers in cross section appeared round; this
only occurs in synthetically
manufactured fibers.
All my gratitude,
Om Nama Shivaya,
Om Shanti,
Your great
admirer
Michael Cremo responds:
He didn’t give me the piece of amber. He showed it to me and let me
photograph it. The fibers of the cloth fragment did appear to be
synthetic, but
your observation that only synthetic fibers have a round cross section and all
natural fibers are flat is important. Do you
have any references to scientific
research that supports this idea?
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Dear Mr. Cremo,
Just finished the condensed
version of your book. It is a great pleasure to read scientific research
written with erudition. A wonderful
experience. I have sent a copy to my
granddaughter, a college freshman interested in archeological art. It will be a
valuable addition
to her library as it is to mine. Thanks again.
Best regards

Hi, I recently
read about your interests in Forbidden artifacts. 8 years ago I uncovered
thousands of artifacts on the beach. These artifacts are carved with pictures
made out of quartz, chert, and other materials such as melted metals, and
meteorites. I wrote a book about them myself because my museum was only
helping me to a certain point in my state. I would really like to speak with
you on the matter if you would not mind. I sent you a picture of the cover of
my book showing what I have found. Please contact me and let me know if I can
speak with you on this matter.
Response:
You can write to me giving a brief description pf your
finds.
Regards,
Michael Cremo
