In the vein of ancient apocalypse.

In the vein of ancient Egyptians, I thought this was interesting.



Cliff's notes. Some people apparently hypothesize that the pyramids were build to generate electricity rather than as tombs.

What really blows my mind is that ancient Egyptian civilization lasted 3,000 years. That would be like us looking back on the bronze age and knowing everything that happened. It's entirely possible for knowledge to be gained and lost in that given time, and why it is so easy off the wall theories to spring up about what happened during that time.

Even more than that, it looks like they may have become less advanced over time, which is strange. The later pyramids aren’t constructed as well among other evidence.

Kind of reminds you of manufacuring in the US doesn't it? Get it done cheaper and faster quality be damned.

Pip, Poca, have you had the time to watch the other suggested videos / One I think, is about possible methodology employed way back. Fuck my head hurts :lmao:
 
You have offered nothing to the conversation but your own opinion and a bunch of shit talking, refuse to even watch or look at anything related to the topic. No evidence to support your con job position and everyone else is dumb for saying we can't do this now. Nice work. Schmuck said it's fake. Close the thread.

You know they make this stuff called vagisil for your problem.
 
The barabar caves might as well go in this thread. Not the best video but a decent summary of the precise geometry recently discovered.

 
About those Egyptians . . . I recall from history that one of the early Dynasties fell to the warring neighbors to the south who had steel weapons. The Pharaoh's slave fighters were equipped with bronze and they lost. Just mentalling out loud about a civilization that had the tech to cut fresh Diorite Gneiss rock but didn't have steel for weapons to stop their wives and daughters from being raped and their children sold as slaves.

Almost 3000 years (2768) is a long time to learn some new techniques. 3100 BC to 332 BC. Look at where we were at 2768 years ago(spoiler alert: it was 745 BC and the Egyptian empire still existed).

Those egyptians were only a shadow of the previous civilization.

That really wouldn't match up to anything Plato wrote about regarding Atlantis. I thought the Eye was found to be a volcanic dome.

A lot of this stuff goes beyond being wacky.

Plato’s uncle was told about Atlantis by priests. Plato wrote about what they told his uncle on his uncles travels.
 
It seems most likely to me that Atlantis is probably in the swamps of southern Spain. I think "Atlantis" almost certainly existed in that there was likely a city wiped out by flood that the legends are based on but the legends likely overstate it's level of advancement and importance.

Most of those theories are about as believable as spaceships using tractor beams to move the rocks.

We honestly dont know much about what are considered the greats and what they wrote. Much of what they wrote was houses in Elyisus and that was razed to the ground in the 4th century by the Catholic Church. The works of many of todays greats were all houses there.
 
So the great pyramids are more of a wonder than the aquaducts and cathedrals and castles all built by hand tools just because theyre giant blocks? Its called slave labor. Theyve already shown how hundreds of men (slaves) can move giant blocks up dirt and stone ramps.

I'm more impressed by the fact that they were willing to transport the giant blocks from really far away.

Now look at some of those other wonders. Aqueducts were infrastructure and worth the effort. Castles for defense and safety. Cathedrals fall under sort of the same thing as the pyramids in that it was people worshipping a God or gods, but I would offer up that they took much less time and resources than the pyramids to build.

So what astonishes is the amount of time and resources that was used to do this. Why would it have been worth it to do, not once, but over 100 times? It might be true, but it's hard to believe they did this all just to worship their leaders.

Read newb :flipoff2:

12 to 22 miles away. There are glyphs of the ships, canals and rollers and slaves on the pyramid tunnel walls. . . . . In fact there is an entire ship beneath one of the pyramids.... Pretty sure the actual quarries that match the stone blocks are known and documented. :flipoff2:

22 miles is not a long way to drag a 6 ton block with slaves? And they did that 2 million times for one Pyramid? And they built about 100 of those things?

Why not just build them right next to the quarry?

Come awn man :flipoff2:

There arent the right rocks near the pyramid. And the pyramid location is fixed or defined. Again, read. :laughing: The majority of the transport was by boat on water. We went over this shit in an art history class. Only three big pyramids, and the step one. Many of the interior rocks are much smaller. Where'd and what in did you say you were educated at ? :flipoff2:

Nearly all of the construction from romans to the industrial rev were soft stones as well. Marble/lime stone, that’s the reason so many of the cathedrals have to have constant work done.

The scale of the pyramids are crazy and just how much material was moved.

They didnt do it to worship their leaders. The guild builders were paid, the slaves were killed if they didnt.

If you think there were only 4 pyramids built in Egypt, you may not be qualified to judge other people's knowledge of ancient Egypt. :homer:
 
Srrrry I should have been more clear . . . . . "To be clear . . . . " Obama-esque The pyramids in the videos... . . . As referenced in the above posts and videos.
