TBH no idea yet. My partner has a carding drum and a spinning wheel but our dog is both black and has short hair.
If I get ahold of raw wool cheap enough i’ll try for a few batches. One of the powdered dyes i’ve made so far is from my seedcrop of Garden Huckleberries this year.
I dried dried out the juice I had in a glass pie plate and will eventually scrape it off with a razor blade and store it dry. I’ll reconstitute it when I want to use it.
Discoveries are made but if no obvious application exists they are quite quickly forgotten. The ancient Egyptians apparently invented batterys but no-one had anything to run off them
No one forgot the “baghdad battery”…but no archaeologist thinks it was used as a battery, either. It wouldn’t have generated enough charge to actually “do” anything. People have tried.
I went there in 2002… Built by just ONE man. GIANT sculptures out of coral rock, no modern machinery. There was a giant multi-ton door, perfectly balanced that you could spin with a touch of your finger.
Maybe he figured out the secrets of the pyramid builders.
That was a running theory but there’s no corroborating evidence like artifacts that had been electroplated. And they would have needed to link many together to get the necessary power.
This is just a Latvian being Latvian. As part Estonian I can tell you we Baltic folk needed to figure out some weird shit to survive the Russian occupation(s).
Did someone say they are dumb? I don’t personally think this myself. I think there are some massive egos in need of deflation but I wouldnt call any prominent “approved” archeologist dumb. Ignorant, egotistical, tunnel visioned and gullible come to mind…but not dumb. We may be average citizens but we are all free thinkers. More discoveries have been made by free thinking than by any other method in history. New Science is ALWAYS fringe science first. No one needs to be a genius to see massive cracks in the modern accepted “truths” of our past. All you need is one eye and a brain to see something isn’t right.
I remember this guy. From Lithuania, Latvia or Estonia yes? I do believe he figured something out. Possibly the secret of lifting heavy stones. I remember seeing a picture of him sitting next to a tripod with an iron box on the top. Block and tackle maybe…or some sort of lightning box meant to electrically charge the coral? Really neat place. Too bad he wouldn’t give up the secret.
Nearly every relationship is built on trust and the relationship citizens have with their government is no exception. When we are constantly lied to, we begin to distrust. It’s time for full disclosure. Maybe the aliens did build the Great Pyramid. I think a lot of people were sleeping when the government admitted aliens did indeed exist ( in a round about way) and released classified footage of craft that they said were NOT made on this Earth. Alien Technology just became an extremely real possibility.
That isn’t true at all. Most discoveries are happening “behind the scenes” in labs and universities by teams of researchers and they’re things that you and I would find boring. It’s so easy to be misled by pseudoscience and consider yourself smarter and somehow more “aware” than people that spend their lives doing this stuff.
For example, believing a guy somehow “electrically charged” coral blocks instead of the more boring simple answer that he spent his life as a stonemason lol. How many bricks you think a bricklayer puts down before he retires? It’s time and labor.
New science is not always fringe science. That’s absurd. There’s soooo much misunderstanding and mischaracterization of science in the weed word by people who just feel in their heart they know better than experts and stumbled upon evidence the experts somehow missed.
What “isn’t right” with the “accepted truth”?
“nooo they aren’t dumb they’re just wrong about everything” lol c’mon guy.
It would take more than one battery to run a light bulb, but many of our battery powered mechanisms also require more than one battery. Have you not seen the pictures of the Dendera lightbulb?
