And I thought Gippy boy was whacked out...

I am Horace Butler, author of a very limited-edition book, When Rocks Cry Out. Major publishers asked for removal of two elements from the book, but I wanted to see if readers could accept those two discoveries along with the discovery of Egypt in ancient Central and South America. In its first month, the book showed up in the Dallas Morning News as the regional number 1 Bestseller, Nonfiction, Hardback. It’s also listed as recommended reading by the Dallas Community College District.

In 11 years of study after the initial set of discoveries, I uncovered many things that should give back to the world the ancient history of the Americas, including the "rosetta stone" that deciphers the Maya hieroglyphs. The critical info was found on ancient Egyptian monuments about the Americas.

Pay attention to "corn," a plant that scientists, indisputably, agree was indigenous only to the Americas in ancient times. You will see images of the American corn in the ancient Egyptian works. Ironically, you will also see corn all over the Old and New Testaments. Theologians argued that the mentions of "ears of corn" and "corn in its husk" were references to other grain, but not to corn. Dr. Balabanova’s discovery of cocaine in ancient Egyptian mummies opened the door wider. Several ancient coins also showed the American plant. No one seemed to have noticed that Rome had an entire body of legislation dealing with the importation and distribution of corn, called "The Corn Laws."

But those are minor discoveries now. Wait till you see Troy and other famed classical cities stand up in the Americas. Yes, I know where these cities are. Hopefully, soon, we can convince the press to announce them.

It’s going to be a while before scholarship can lose its hurt feelings about these discoveries, so bear with me while I try to get the info into the mainstream. I will answer questions from this group. Take care.

Just to let you know, this guy showed up in the Ancient History group on myspace.com. He basically says that Troy was never in Turkey, but has found "proof" that it was in Central America. He posted a few other things, which are a tad ridiculous, and if you want, I'll post them here for you to read.

Either he is actually insane, has no concept of history, or is kidding.

Which kind of corn is he talking about? I can think of at least two plants that go by that name.

The UK had a whole bunch of "Corn Laws" too, but they weren't about maize, (though maize was well-known).

However, I do remember reading (I think in the BBC's History magazine) that traces of micotine had been found in Egyptian mummies (the cocaine is news to me).

[suggs]

Thats cheered me up!
I get depressed about :

1) Not getting fucked 24/7
2) Forgetting history that I have learned.

Disregarding 1), huzzah! However much of a gimpy part time historian I may be, at least I am not a TOTAL MORON like that guy.
Poor soul.

ps anyone who can remdy option 1), please meeet me at Kings Cross tonight

The Corn Laws (in the UK) were about corn, and included wheat and stuff as well.
It was a tarriff, or protection really. It meant the UK was self sufficient in food, and the farmers made decent money. But it meant that bread was very expensive, and it was bad news for the poor, and disastrous for the Irish.
Robert Peel abolished the corn laws in 1845, and split the Tory Party in two -it didnt come back until 1874. (ignoring minority administrations).
It took until 1931 for the Uk to reintroduce protection.

yeah that series of laws really fucked the irish over, of course the bad timing of the plague didn't help

[suggs]

Easier to blame the Brits though
