We-UH don’t have Sumerian language studies, and yet they were nominally the first of the -known- archaic civilizations; We can barely trace the Hawaiians via the NW coast of Canada and the South Pacific, and we know virtually nothing about their archaic gods’ family structure and years: for how they’re tied to the Sumerian gods…. Not to pick on professors but I was ‘shocked’ to find that Plato’s Atlantis is sill ranked a myth because–nobody-else has correlated-and-integrated the story with Unas’ superflood of Egypt… (I’ll publish something on this as soon as I get powerpoints to do transitions and animations together…Did I seriously just say that about powerpoint technology)… On-and-on the lure or the fear of the dollar holds back our highest technologists from seeing the grand paleontology of Mars prior eons under the thin dust of iron oxide and that neopride of “Johnson Style” (the latest take on a pop song)…

But I’m not complaining here-or-there: I’m saying the University whole, cannot be, bound, at the lips, to the dollar…the folly of politics… World Class, can only be, if it includes the world before and beyond… Thinkers live-and-breathe outside, the box of government registrations.
