Over the pandemic months, a number of archaeologists met up through online conferences and meetings to discuss the crisis that was unfolding and was affecting their working lives. Due to the closing of its traditional venue on Široká street in Prague, the international archaeological federation 'Archeon' has been able to arrange the annual gathering of the elders for two years. This is important because the organization's constitution requires balloting (with white and black balls) proposals on the organization's budget which has therefore been frozen. While the organization itself has been run on the same lines without change during living memory, this does not affect its day to day operation. The problem for the rest of us is that this is the body that administers the not inconsiderable sums of money paid to archaeologists to hide certain facts about the past from the public that would be uncomfortable if they became wider-known. The existence of this fund has been a secret for a long while now and even the number of beneficiaries is unknown. The fact remains, however, that we have not received these payments in the past two years, and it is beginning to affect our living standards. Letters and legal overtures to Archaeon have failed to produce any satisfactory response, so affected archaeologists have decided to take drastic steps to attempt to prod Archaeon into action. To this end, we have set up a website called Tota Veritas to reveal what these funds have so far kept the archaeological community from making public. It is a private site, launched today that for the moment is available only to subscribers . This sets out the truth about the past that archaeologists for generations have remained silent on. It is time the public knew the truth. At the moment the site is available only in English. Note: the site will be deleted when Archaeon keeps to the bargain it made with the archaeological community and pays the non-disclosure fees including arrears. So, subscribe today, there are special rates available for those subscribing today (there are also special rates for students).
I visited this site after reading your post and it was an eye-opener. New photogrammetric analysis reveals that Heinrich Schliemann was a space alien. That concocted biographical “legend” was so fake – there is no such place as Mecklenburg! And that paper by Hamdy Sakr on the Pseudolithic - an entire cultural era whose very existence has remained a secret until now! Archaeologists covered it all up. I have to ask, who lost all these artefacts in the first place. -Andrew Duncan
