In response to my statement that, "It is the job of archaeologists to read that history, and we do it quite well" you wrote:
After a lifetime of study, William Corliss concluded, "The entire picture of human exploration and colonization of our planet is probably radically different from what we have been led to believe". |
Corliss was not an archaeologist, and from his writings, seems to have been on the fringe of a lot of different fields. Here is his obit:

British scholar Richard Rudgley summed up his study of the ancient world by saying, "the widely accepted view of the human story is wildly inaccurate" and "preconceived opinions have repeatedly led to the rejection of evidence that does not fit with present archaeological dogmas." |
Here is the Wiki article on Rudgley:

Not exactly mainstream either.
How about getting some statements from real working archaeologists and from peer-reviewed journals. There are literally hundreds of such journals and they have a lot more credibility than the two sources you posted here.
Religious belief does not constitute scientific evidence, nor does it convey scientific knowledge.
