Greetings from Australia

I wish to establish a set of rules for studying Evidence of Time Travel.

This study is not about 'How time travel works' nor 'When was a time machine invented'.
It is not asking for opinions whether time travel is possible or not, but simply…
Is there any evidence documented in ancient texts that relate to visits to the past ?

PURPOSE and AIMS
- To seek out and identify any evidence of Time Travel that may be documented in ancient texts.
- Create a set of rules for this task.
- Scrutinize and examine past information and any new evidence found - using an organized peer process of evaluation.
- Make a Judgement based upon the evidence presented, then state a Conclusion.

METHOD
I am seeking a ‘Submission of Ideas’ regarding how to go about gathering information and then evaluating it.
STEP 1 . Develop a Search Criterion
STEP 2 . Gather Evidence
STEP 3 . Examine and Evaluate evidence
STEP 4 . Form a Judgement and Conclusion

I am hoping your members will be able to contribute to my project with ideas or comments.

Reincarnation indirectly suggests time travel, since it projects the person moving forward in time, but it seemed to require the loss of the body. This theory, by losing the physical manifestation of the body first, suggested that physical or material time travel was not possible, rather the signal needed to occur with energy. This organized energy then hooks back into physical reality through the living state and is able to materialize again. It did require being slowly assembled via growth. Stirring appeared to have something to do with accumulation of behavior sort of time averaged. I am not trying to be funny, but this philosophy appears to add up to time travel but was limited to moving into the future in terms of the universe.

It did indirectly suggest that one could time travel backwards, relative to the steps of evolution, since it was thought possible for a human to reincarnate into an ape. But this would be a step backwards in genetics, but that would still be in the future relative to the earth. What this suggested was signal loss during the time projection so it could only materialize in a lower form of living complexity. The signal loss was connected to the mind not being optimized to the parameters defined for lossless travel. The final incarnation didn't materialize, but remained as some structured energy associated with consciousness. It was not clear whether this allowed reverse time travel since it would not be part of physical reality and alter time. I am not saying I believe this. I was interpreting this philosophy in terms of the needs of the research project. I sort of adds up. One may have to resist the urge to be modern literal and interpret ancient text more symbolically. One has to keep in mind the age of reason only started about 500 years ago.

Well, what exactly are you looking for? Stories of time travel made in the ancient world, or actual time travel itself (i.e. presumably future humans visiting historical civilizations)?

Withdrawn for further researchHow embarrassing! I will continue to search for the article but it's probably not relevant anyway. The only thing I know of that even remotely resembles what you are looking for is the Hindu myths that resemble descriptions of nuclear warfare. Very interesting but almost certainly just coincidence.

I suppose there are a lot of ancient texts describing the future. People claiming to see the future or know the future. But, are there any where someone claims to be from the future; born in the future; lived in the future? I can't think of any.

I also don't think the accuracy of a prophecy in and of itself can be used to support a claim of time travel. There are a lot of prophetic texts and the odds are not against finding one that is very accurate.

If a text is found that both claims it was written by a time traveler and has information about future events (past events to us) and it is very, very accurate then the simplest solution still might be forgery or hoax.

If an artifact is found (let's say a DVD in an undisturbed Egyptian tomb) and it is carbon dated to a few thousand years and the DVD contained material not reproducible to us today (let's say It is a movie with a sixty-year-old Tom Cruise in it) then I would believe.

Only when the probability of time travel is greater than the probability of some other explanation like forgery or coincidence could it even be considered probable.

Study of basic recurring cyclical systems of the past events, could expand your ability to see future events, or even aim a path of least resistance to position your self to be caught up in what can be called the “future” like a Bill gates, then you would be crating the future.

Which brings up another good point.

Ancient prophecies could be fulfilled because they were self-fulfilling. Jewish people were expecting the prophecy of the return of king David or the "messiah" in the first century BC to be fulfilled and look what happened.

To give some background on the type of evidence Eddy is searching for, have a look at this thread:

The latter. Actual time travel by humans back to the past.

I suppose there are a lot of ancient texts describing the future. People claiming to see the future or know the future.

Yes. For example: Ezekiel and Daniel (OT), and John (Revelations from NT), and Nostradamus.
But in the cases of the biblical people, they all document that an ANGEL showed them ‘future things and visions’ and told them of ‘future historical and astronomical events’.

I believe that texts such as these may contain evidence of time travel encounters.

If an artifact is found (let's say a DVD)

What if a modern technological object is documented and described in an ancient text, or a modern data storage device is depicted and its contents described in detail.
Would this be evidence of time travel IF the identity of the modern data storage device was known AND the described contents from the ancient text exactly matches to the contents of that modern storage device ?

There are a lot of prophetic texts and the odds are not against finding one that is very accurate.

But what if all those texts contain only part of the puzzle pieces ?
When all are examined, time travel encounters may be revealed.
If so, what rules do we use to verify these things ?
