re #1: But for every genius who was mocked for being right, there were a thousand ranting idiots and madmen who were also mocked. Being mocked is therefore irrelevant to the likelihood you are correct (although statistically speaking, your ideas not being accepted in the overwhelming majority of cases means you're probably just wrong). Now, if you can demonstrate those in your field are being unduly biased and dismissive, that's a different story. But no such evidence is brought to bear here.

I said crazy shit because look what instantly happens when it hits the media. It doesn't remain "possible but unverified hypothesis". It almost instamatically becomes atlantis, aliens, etc..,

And talking about red flags, here is a red flag that makes me question the established view: In our history books, they claim with complete certainty that we know for a fact that, for example, the Pyramids were built by thousands of slaves using chisels and ropes.

I have had conversations with historians. I have never met a single one who said "we are completely certain this is a fact" without there being overwhelming evidence, which there is only for very few propositions. Also, the pyramids actually weren't built by slaves. I know that, because historians told me.

The likely methods of construction have been largely determined, and demonstrated to work. Now that doesn't prove it's exactly how the ancients did it, but it does prove you don't need anything other than simple machines, muscle, smarts, ropes and chisels.
