It would be news, I'm sure, but is that really of any surprise? Look at what was done to those people at the hands of Euros. Sure, some tribes aligned with these groups at different times, but those could be some valuable documents, perhaps even incriminating. Perhaps even that they did not LEGALLY belong to the Pueblo Indians of NM. I have no doubt Native American society works no different than ours in the sense that if it is true, do you think every Pueblo Indian knows? Or only certain ones? You seem surprised this wouldn't be common knowledge to everyone today, if true. We live in a world wrapped in secrets.
Secrets are what lubricates the gears of the Invisible Machine behind the veil and makes its motions possible ...
Now, I cannot place any value upon the veracity of the claim, other than to note it as a claimed fact, but it came from this book:
Amazon.com: The Pueblo Revolt: The Secret Rebellion That Drove the Spaniards Out of the Southwest eBook: David Roberts: Kindle Store
It has been a couple years since I checked out a copy from the library and read it, but it was a claim made in that book.
hi nobody and here is a link for you , you may have to read between the lines . im still not sold on the big conspiracy , i think it is more about human nature involving greed / secrets with the treasure stuff ,but who knows for sure ?
on a side note i have always wondered if the truth to our origins lies hidden somewhere deep in a "treasure cavern " out there somewhere , something that would shake beliefs and matters of faith to the very core if ever it came to light , but hey, that's just me .lol
take care.///bob
[QUOTEPublic disdain for dry accuracies is similarly evident in the success story of the Franciscan Thévet (1512-1592). Before becoming royal historiographer and guardian of the royal cabinet of curiosities, Thévet had traveled to Italy, Spain, North Africa, Egypt and had participated on Durand de Villegagon's ill-fated French expedition to Brazil. The original use he made of Aztec manuscripts revised his status in the history of anthropology, but this was not at all the cause for his fame in his day.
[6] The court rewarded him for the fabulous stories that he related in his
Singularitez de la France antarctique (1558) and
Cosmographie universelle (1575). He was among the first to use the new technique of engraving to publish illustrations with his text. For more than two centuries European editors borrowed from his and the Protestant De Brys' pictorial repertories to illustrate new travel reports.
Michel Montaigne (1533-1592) has long been designated as an early cultural relativist and propagator of the "Noble Savage" theme. Historiographical revision of his moral skepticism in the essay "Des cannibals," his Lascasian defense of the Indians in "Des coches," and his mention of the Chinese in "De l'experience" concludes, however, that Montaigne also had no interest in aliens for their own sake. Most of his material was borrowed.
[7] He metamorphized the classical Golden Age into the
bon sauvage in order to document that modern Frenchmen were moral pygmies compared to the Ancients.
[8] Although his criticism of the Spanish conquest is unique for its secularism, it cannot be assumed that the skeptical tradition rose from the geographical discoveries. Humanist skepticism was more likely linked to revulsion from the Religious Wars as it was to the increased availability of classical texts from the printing press.
