Michigan Man May Have Solved The Mystery Of Stonehenge And The Pyramids
Common Sense Evaluation ^

Posted on 09/06/2017 2:23:41 AM PDT by gaggs

Video: A man in Michigan decided he wanted to uncover some of the ancient secrets techniques used to lift heavy stone blocks. After a lot of trial and error, he finally came up with a system he could use to lift any size rock and move it practically anywhere.

Please know your History. It was the Christians. Library of Alexandra was long gone before Islam came on the scene in the 7th century.

Well, what the heck bro, I thought you were going to blame the Jews. Everyone else does. Are you one of those dudes who says the Christians burned Rome too? Nero did. I heard a rumor he couldn't play a fiddle to save his life. But hey, what do I know, I haven't studied any history.
The odds are, numerous people and groups had a hand in Alexandria. I don't believe for a second, that Donald Trump had anything to do with it, however, though I suspect some libtard out there, would like to blame him for it. Also, when the Aswan dam leaks, that's not Trump's fault either.

If the “ancient stone artifacts” you mentioned are to include Stonehenge then who, other than Homo Sapiens, could have built it...Neandertals?

No, neanderthals certainly didn't built these “Wonders of the World” either. Logically, we know that these amazing structures were not built by any being we know of because they simply require abilities and techniques beyond the capabilities of the human genus.

Clever. Not safe to work by yourself with heavy stones. But very clever.

His base (the lifting pivot points, and - most importantly - his “walking pivot points” for horizontal movement) are on smooth concrete. Thus, his techniques do not directly translate to the ancients’ methods since they were on irregular rocks and dirt, long roads from the quarry, and up and down hillsides where a smooth “walking pivot” work poorly. But, like the Easter Island “walking heads” simulation DOES move huge statutes, and the Egyptian oblesks can pivot to vertical using sand and pits with a simple pivot point and rocker, this IS a valid, workable method.

Not true. The library was burned several times, you are merely repeating the latest “politically corrupt” anti-Christian theory pushed by today’s anti-Christian “scholars”.

Well the ancient Egyptians had slaves and their his-story had to be destroyed.

Yes, maybe some ancient libtard saw into the future, and decided that only white people in America were going to get the blame for slavery. The dude was a prophet, wasn't he? 😁😀😆🙃

Matt 24:37. But as the days of Noah were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.

An interesting study bro. It would take a whole different thread to discuss the possibilities of what that entails.

Yep.

My favorite story is the guy who went to Easter Island, and told the villagers to move some of the stones for a few hundred bucks. They chopped some vines, wrapped them up, and dragged the half cut heads from the quarry to the desired site in less than a day.

You can do anything with leverage.

We certainly didn’t build the ones on mars.

https://www.geopolymer.org/archaeology/pyramids/are-pyramids-made-out-of-concrete-1/

Another interesting scientific theory about the building of the pyramids is that the stones were not carved, but were a poured geopolymer concrete. The French scientist who has proposed this theory has won all sorts of scientific awards. He has built his own stones and tests matched what is found in the pyramids. Once this special concrete is set, it looks, feels and tests like stone. He also was able to duplicate the intricate stone vases and pitches also found in ancient times. He also has shown that the materials required to make this concrete were very accessible in ancient times.

“It’s possible there were remnants and records at the library in Alexandria, but the muzzies burned it all down. What A holes they were and are.”


Uh, try the Romans - specifically Julius Caesar’s army - who burned it in 48 BC. That the Moose Limbs finished the job in the 640s, but what was remaining at that time was probably a far cry from what had been there nearly 700 years earlier.

I have posted this guy half a dozen times. No, he doesn’t answer all the questions but he shows that a lot of the heavy lifting that we think of as marvelous or impossible is just so wonderful because we are millennia away from that level of technology and we have not the experience to think it through. I have sent it to George Noory but his priorities are different and this would interfere. The same thing goes for the more recent wonder in the Keys, the Coral Castle.

"Actually it depends on your source and no one really knows. Plutarch blamed Julius Caesar. Edward Gibbons (anti-Christian atheist) blamed Christians as he was wont to do. Bishop Gregory Bar Hebræus (anti-Muslim) blamed the Muslims."

And still another historical opinion (and I think the current one) is that no one ruler or group torched the Alexandrian Library but, rather, after the Muslim takeover it just become mostly neglected and forgotten. The "library" was actually housed in a number of buildings, several of which were burned down (some by accident, some deliberately), but again, the library as a whole seems to simply have sunk into ruin.

The big blocks could certainly be moved from the quarry using the demonstrated technique, regardless of distance. That just takes patience.

It is a simple matter to shape rocks precisely. Once again, it just takes patience and the appropriate tools. Rock working tools always come down to a hammer and chisels. Measuring tools are pretty basic.

No higher technology was needed to build the pyramids, unless you are firmly entrenched with the New Age crowd. Recall that the Romans assaulted large forts by building sand and gravel ramps up the side of walls or cliffs. That would also work for placing stones high on the pyramid. The sand ramps are merely carried away after construction and hidden conveniently in the surrounding desert.

they were hundreds of mules away...

Did they breed mules back then? If so, you could be on to something!

Ok, so he was able to stand tall stones. It doesn’t explain how they placed the slabs on top of the stones that span from one to the other.

So aliens came all that way across the galaxy, just to cut huge blocks and stack them like a child’s toy? Instead of building skyscrapers, using electricity, using machines, using metal and glass? I don’t think so. The pyramids are the most rudimentary form of a building that ancient men could create to have an impressive tall structure. That’s why it was men, not aliens, that built them. It was a very amazing accomplishment for the Egyptians, but for an alien, it would have looked like an anthill.
