Are you referring to the New Chronology proposed by Fomenko? Or just in general? Historical Archaeology? Paleontology? Things like Piltdown man and...oh there was another one someone posted a link to a video a week ago but I can't remember the name...

No but I have seen augmented archeological evidence, to suit territorial claims.

Most claims of this happening in this day and age are utter nonsense. Archaeology is the pursuit of knowledge, and is considered by many be a science (or soft science). We care about evidence. Interpretation of such evidence will vary, so the only cover-ups I can really see happening include the interpretation being skewed toward previously existing understanding of the past, which isn't exactly conscious or malicious.

Otherwise, things could be "covered up" or ignored and not reported on because a developer wants their project done quickly and in the spot they want it done, and some inconvenient archaeology showed up during excavation. This would not be an academic cover-up, but an industry one. I'm quite sure that happens on occasion, and it shouldn't.

Here is something that has been covered up. Read carefully and note the description of the first ossuary on the list. The implications are enormous. ​

I'm not following. Would you elaborate please?

I'm not sure if a popular book, a Discovery documentary and a Wikipedia page counts as "covered up"!

You didn't see this discovery on your favorite news show or in your daily newspaper, or in Time magazine.....@Jnei

The tomb contains a ossuary labeled ""Jesus son of Joseph." and several others that link to Jesus' family. If Jesus was buried in the family tomb then he did not resurrect and go to Heaven and Christianity is based on an absolute fraud ....a fraud proven by this tomb. @Athena

@nicknotes

Thank you - okay great, I was with you on that part. 🙂

There are more recent findings that suggest Jesus didn't even exist, which would tell us that this book is based on more of the same, "Just speculating.. and this guy must be Jesus" because a tomb was discovered.

Historians are now in major disagreement that there was a real biblical Jesus. Regardless of whether he did or didn't, one still can't say, if Jesus walked the earth, therefore he was in fact the son of God.

If you're interested, pick up a copy of Richard Carrier's, The Historicity of Jesus. It's not an easy read but, boy, is it fantastic.

Thanks for clarifying!
