Yep. The caves were actually constructed by teams of skilled Jewish stonemasons captured in Eastern Europe by janissaries during the long-running trans-causcasian war over mummification technology and sent as slaves to the subcontinent. ...
I could continue but it's not appropriate even in this part of DW. This is the Teahouse of the Compassionate One so I will just say, again, that the fact that something is unsupported by "mainstream" media - or denied by it - is by no means proof that it is true.
Yesterday I found a large flattened wad of a gummy substance on the sidewalk. To the ordinary mind it might appear to be chewing gum. But what if aliens chew gum too? Could it be that I was looking straight at irrefutable evidence of alien visitations? On closer investigation I noticed a strange pattern of wavy lines and circles in it, and could not avoid seeing the strong similarity to patterns often seen in crop circles. What more evidence do you want? Calling cards?
Sergeant Schultz knew everything there was to know.

Did it smell like apples? Alien chewing gum smells like apples, and is usually bright green in colour. Get it tested for DNA, but don't let them see you.
Conspiracy is a fact of life, however.The Information Age brought with it heaps of disinfo and misinfo plus a several more gov't agencies to manage it all.
People have no idea how much they don't know!

I'll give you a hint: it wasn't a paranoid nutter putting it out there.
The tinfoil hat & its advocates are well out of any mainstream. In the US at least, it's the domain of the far right and libertarian fringes, precisely those who find these kinds of arguments plausible:

"Tinfoil hat" is completely mainstream as it is the go-to level-headed putdown for anything out of the ordinary. It actually comes from an old scifi book.

The real problem with being an idiot is that an idiot is too dumb to realize he's an idiot. The result is all too often that idiots consider themselves the intellectual peers of the great philosophers and thinkers and they then set forth to save the world with an idiotic doctrine, buttressed with testimonials by morons and supported by fools. It's sort of a co-operative effort.

Please tell me you're not just realizing this now.
Btw, if you watched the video I posted about "you have no idea what you don't know" your statement is pretty funny for a different reason. Just about every great philosopher and thinker held ridiculous ideas by today's standard that would get them laughed out of town.

Anything you can conjure up in the imagination
to explain what you cannot explain
is just as likely to be true
as anything else you can conjure up in the imagination. Just as true, no more, no less.
Beyond that, evidence.

Ah, no, it's old news I'm afraid.
And I did watch the vid and it was just fantastic. If taken as directed, it's a pretty good antidote for self righteousness. 'Cept for me of course cuz I'm always right.

I thought it was pretty weird, although I guess I wasn't that surprised. I don't remember if he said it in the video or not, but if not, then it reminded me of something I read about Socrates once. I think it was Socrates, anyway. He once debated publicly with his invisible friend in the town square for a full day. His "daemon."
EDIT: yeah, it was Socrates. He used to believe whatever his daemon told him was true, I guess. Well, maybe not in this particular case where he argued with him all day and night publicaly in the twon square. http://books.google.com/books?id=L-i6zy ... ly&f=false

By the way, I'm not a big overall fan of Dr. Seuss; it's just that the theme of Horton Hears a Who is pretty relevant to some of the topics here lately.

No silly, the cat is wearing shoes fashioned from a human being.
