Man, that's racist! ***************** But they certainly are compatible with this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Somatoform_disorder ...and that if he's not faking it all, with is a very plausible explanation. Also: what "magnetic readings"? what values? what detector was used? Because thay are mentioned in a very casual way... And why a "magnetic reading", which I guess can be caused by a lot of things, is suppossed to demonstrate anything? And the last one: why, why are you so increbibly gullible on these matters? Why your critical thinking shuts down so completely in front of certain key words, like UFO, Atlantis, Islam, Hermetics, etc?
i did a bit of googling and there are a bunch of things about the speed of light and pyramids. can i ask which one it was?
So 299. 792, 358 = 299, 817281 (and not 299,79613 as said in the vid...lol, they can't even make a simple calculation, do it by yourself and see) It's only out by +/- 1 million, roughly speaking. And that asuming that an egyptian cubit is a meter, which is not. Not even half a meter. Quoting a critic: Just for fun, if one looks up the facts about the WashingtonMonument in the World Almanac, he will find considerable fiveness. Its height is 555 feet and 5 inches. The base is 55 feet square, and the windows are set at 500 feet from the base. If the base is multiplied by 60 (or five tunes the number of months hi a year) it gives 3,300, which is the exact weight of the capstone in pounds. Also, the word "Washington" has exactly ten letters (two times five). And if the weight of the capstone is multiplied by the base, the result is 181,500 —a fairly close approximation of the speed of light in miles per second. If the base is measured with a "Monument foot," which is slightly smaller than the standard foot, its side comes to 56V^ feet. This times 33,000 yields a figure even closer to the speed of light. And is it not significant that the Monument is in the form of an obelisk—an ancient Egyptian structure? Or that a picture of the Great Pyramid appears on. a dollar bill, on the side opposite Washington's portrait? Moreover, the decision to print the Pyramid (i.e., the reverse side of the United States seal) on dollar bills was announced by the Secretary of the Treasury on June 15, 1935—both date and year being multiples of five. And are there not exactly twenty-five letters (five tunes five) in the title, "The Secretary of the Treasury"? It should take an average mathematician about fifty-five minutes to discover the above "truths," working only with the meager figures provided by the Almanac. Considering the fact that he made his own measurements, obtaining hundreds of lengths with which to work, and that he spent twenty years mulling over these figures, it is not hard to see how he achieved such remarkable results.
Somatoform disorder? Hmmmm that could explain my stomach pains as I am slightly mad. Thanks for that link. So moving on, you are right about those readings. As much as I don't trust the credibility of the History Channel anymore, they however wouldn't just give TV time to any group of people claiming anything, especially a group with no hard proof. Cause if they did, there would be a lot worse shit on TV than Ancient Aliens. Regarding gullibility, in the matter of Hermeticism (and I guess Islam, though I don't consider myself a Muslim at all), I have experienced synchronicity enough times in the past that are of a theological nature and I have "faith." Though I accept the double think of Carl Jung's interpretative conclusions could also be right (as he viewed these instances to be of a secular nature). Regarding "Atlantis" and "UFOs," some of these structures (mainly the ones in Peru) have stones that are so fucking massive and in such odd places (such as cliff faces), that with modern machines we couldn't move these stones. We cannot accomplish some of these engineering feats today with machines. What advantages did these Incans have? Coca leaves, no iron tools, no wheels, lots of slave labor, and nothing that suggests they had knowledge of leverage like the Greeks did due to Archimedes. Yeah anyone who thinks that a civilization with that level of technology built the complex structures in Peru are delusional. A piece of history is missing, but what is that missing piece? Not to mention that the Incan people's mythology says these cities are second handed structures, that they belonged to an ancient civilization that they knew nothing about. Instead of the Incan peoples saying in their mythology "oh yeah we built this shit" that isn't the case. Not to mention that in Peruvian mythology, they have names/terms for Ghosts, Gods, Spirits, etc. They also have terms that roughly translate as "Star Brothers." You could interpret that a lot of ways, but the fact they didn't call whoever these "Star Brothers" were by other names like Gods says something about their mythology and the specific choosing of the title "Star Brothers." So lets assume there is no "Atlantis" or no "UFOs" at the very least there was an advanced civilization similar to the Romans or Greeks at one point in South America. Something like the Olmecs, but even more advanced and wide spread. I am quite skeptical as I recognize that it could be simply a New World Rome lost to time. I am also skeptical of mainstream conclusions due to the empirical evidence of engineering and logistical feats of a people who were as technologically advanced as the Incans (who weren't really that advanced at all). Someone built these structures and it sure as fuck wasn't the Incan civilization.
When we look at places like this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Göbekli_Tepe We have to literally extend the beginning date of human civilization by at least half. We don't know shit about our own fucking history. If you believe the conclusions of mainstream archaeology unquestionably, you are just as gullible as how you perceive me to be.
I don't. I try to don't believe anything unquestionabily Also, every culture knows about levers...it's just that most of then didn't conceptualize them mathematically
You ignored the part where I said "nothing that suggests they had knowledge of leverage like the Greeks did due to Archimedes." These people didn't even use wheels or iron tools, but were still somehow knowledgeable enough about levers to move rocks so fucking big that modern machines couldn't do it today. :hermypls: you know there is something wrong with this picture. The empirical evidence of these structures DOESN'T match up with the technological know how of the Inca civilization.
lol whatever What? Just because I am slightly mad doesn't mean I am not capable of critical thinking skills. There is a clear discrepancy between the empirical evidence of these stone structures in Peru (some of which as so massive we cannot move today) and what we know about the technology of the Inca (no iron tools, no wheels), the evidence suggests some other people built these stone structures. Not to mention that the natives state in their mythology they didn't build these settlements, but they were built by an ancient civilization. When we accept these two observations, the obvious conclusion is the Incans didn't build many of these finely crafted stone structures. Now since there isn't enough research done into who actually built these structures, we must accept one of three possibilities who built this shit: The Rome of the New World, an ancient global civilization that existed around the last ice age that was destroyed when rising sea levels submerged many of their cities (which would explain the massive stone pyramids found all over the world that are underwater, such as off the coast of Japan), or aliens. Given there is so much circumstantial evidence leaning towards the middle option, I think that is the angle we should exhaust first before we go for the "Rome" one, and finally the alien one. I doubt the alien one as, why would they built this shit all over the globe and then just leave?
I just googled "underwater pyramids" and apparently there is a "discovery" of giant glass pyramids in Bermuda's Triangle. I am incredibly skeptical of "glass pyramids," but that is interesting to hear (if it is true). The ones off Japan are much better evidence
so it's like that one maths round in countdown? it reminds me about this thing i read where the sites of the now defunct Woolworths shops aligned to form a perfect equalateral triangle i would stay and discuss things but i tend to bore of in-depth internet arguments
They assumed that a cubit is a meter, which is not..., then they did a wrong calculation, then they rounded up the result and then they forgot to multiply it for 1.000.000. Not one, but four big mistakes. They are basicaly saying that given that when playing in a certain way with some measures of the pyramid you get a result of roughly 300, Egyptians knew about the speed of light (roughly 300.000.000) in meters/second, 4.200 years before the meter was defined. Lol
Once again I bump this thread to post this interesting tidbit http://mathisencorollary.blogspot.com/2011/09/tobacco-and-coca-byproducts-in-ancient.html
