That’s assuming that we’re to believe the orthodox Egyptologists’ timeline for the building of the pyramids and the rest of Egyptian ancient culture.
A big “if”...
There were several pyramid-building cycles, right? I don’t think they were all continuously built for each repeating pharoah.
“ten-year study “
The result of which is “more $tudy needed”.
“ No I wasn’t, but I did see that G.Washington used them to terrify the Red Coats at the Battle of Trenton. There are many monuments around the Princeton Battlefield testifying to the bravery of the Woollies.”
Many who are ignorant of history aren’t aware of the Washington designed double barrel mammoth .
This ingenious design featured two canons mounted on a mammoth, secured on a yoke made of sturdy Virginia oak.
The fearsome beasts could march right at the British defenses and the redcoats would flee in terror .
Washington wrote about the importance of this in the same section he mentions how he was inspired to create the Norden bombsight.
Numerous very well preserved wooly mammoth carcass have been uncovered in Siberia in the ice over the years. What’s “interesting” is when scientists have studied the contents of their stomach, they find evidence of temperate wildflowers like Buttercup.
The flesh, meat and even individual cells are in amazingly good condition leading to theories about catastrophic events that could lead to such large mammals effectively being “flash frozen”. Meteor strikes would do it, some hold. The meat itself is often fed to sled dogs, but many people have tried it out of curiousity and pronounced it not too bad.
Well I’m not “blaming” anybody out of self loathing, wiping out Saber Tooth tigers was a good thing as far as I’m concerned. We owe our ancestors a great debt of gratitude most likely. The Cave Bear was to the Grizzly as the Grizzly is to the Black Bear, probably.
When Lewis and Clark first sailed up the Missouri the Lakota and other Sioux tribes would prepare themselves just as if they were going to War before hunting the Grizz. In those days, the Grizzly would simply attack at full speed at first sight of a human. Lewis underestimated the Grizzly, the expedition was regaled with tales by the different tribes all the way up the Missouri, and they concluded (at first) that the Indians were prone to exaggeration, besides, they reasoned, no animal would be a match to a modern military regiment armed with rifles.
They changed their tune Real Quick once they encountered these bears. One can only imagine what larger species than the Grizzly must have been like.
The ice never got far past the Canada-US border. So was lots of opportunities to hunt and plant crops. The whole "NA continent remained unsuitable for human habitation" is just not true.
Unfortunately, all those inventions of the past were stolen by Chief Sitting Bull (and his expert Chinese spys) who used them against the hapless Custer to great effect.
Yes I’ve read about that.
Where do u learn all this?? Is there a youtube perhaps?

lets see : high school, college, post graduate, military, NSA, life of reading, internet searches, and your favorite: U tube.
Right. There is fierce competition in nature and we are part of nature.
Every creature that is not extinct comes from a long line of winners.
When a babies take their first breath, they do not ask how much air there is and what is their fair share - nor should they. Take what you need to live your life, and don’t apologize to anyone for it.
Anyone who think humans should purposely lose the fight for survival so that other species can prevail is not fit to be alive.
Good one!
The mammoths were just too big to survive.
They are all extinct now probably due to hunting pressure.The trees killed them.
There is a museum in Moundsville, WV, which has a skeleton of a mammoth. Much larger than an elephant. Moundsville is on the Ohio River just across from Ohio, about 13 miles south of Wheeling. Only problem getting there from Wheeling is that you have to drive through Brad Paisley’s birthplace.
That depiction shows the extent of the glaciers, what it doesn’t show, is the average temperatures that accompanied the glaciers extension into what is now the southern US. The southern half didn’t have glaciers, that’s true as far as that goes, but overall what is now the US was much cooler.
It doesn’t fit the “Noble Savage” narrative, but the truth is the NA continent was for all practical purposes, devoid of people. They didn’t even have horses till the Spaniards arrived in the 1500s. I find the early history fascinating, and the Indians were an amazing people, but there is so much nonsense being put out there in recent years. The sources I’ve read put the numbers no higher than several hundred thousand at best before European contact. Smallpox and other diseases that they had never been exposed to then wiped out their numbers.
I know ! If the Europeans had arrived blowing kisses the Indians still would have died in relatively the same numbers all due to disease. Disease Europeans had either total or relative immunity for by living & developing on the Eurasian landmass. European religious persecution, racial persecution & warfare was insignificant in killing compared to disease.
