L. A. Waddell (1854-1938) (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laurence_Waddell) was a British philologist and archeologist whose numerous books contain a
wealth of information, which can hardly be found elsewhere, on ancient Aryan civilizations.
Today, he is a highly suppressed author, despite his vast knowledge, because,
among other things, he adopts a racial reading of history in his books. His
main one is « The makers of
civilization in race & history » (http://www.mediafire.com/?1qzyijuxwnu) in which he strives to prove that the Sumerian civilization, of an Aryan
type, gave birth to several other Aryan civilizations including the Indian, the
Egyptian and the British.
His work, although certainly not perfect, is particularly relevant to the
subject of falsification of history because it destroys many lies of today. I
am thinking, for example, of the afrocentrists of the last few decades who have
been claiming that the pharaohs were black. Waddell refutes this thesis.
However, according to Waddell, falsification of ancient history, intended or
not, was already well advanced in the nineteenth century: Aryan groups, genealogical
lines and names were said to be Semitic or of Semitic origin by biased
historians, he says.
I said that his work was not perfect. A brief critique can be read in
message #720. I would add that Waddell gives too much importance to the
Sumerian civlization, so much that he does not not seem to be aware that the
Sumerian civilization evolved out of previous civilizations and that other
Aryan groups were present at that time.
