Thanks. I’ve been trying to post that picture for 10 minutes. Phone’s acting up

So @Upstate So, they are definitely not Mayan, but you may have noticed some important information. Look at the surrounding forest. may have been descendants of a Mayan king or knows who or what these pyramids are, they are very little commented and talked about by historians very well known in their existence. Hugs, brother

The problem with the water theory is that the stones were cut out of a mountain up near the top.( the stones I speak of) however, they have found giant magnifying lenses in the region…google earth would show if there is a water source on the mountain. Sascehuaman is the place I’m thinking of.
Good evidence water was used in Egypt to power large cutting wheels…

Oh I know they’re not mayan. Just looks like similar construction. Olmec maybe?

The Rock and Sand method has pretty much been disproven. It would have taken an incredible amount of time to make even one cut. I watched a documentary where they attempted such a thing.

You right my dude

It’s in Mauritania. Google the" eye of the Sahara"

Yeah that was so dumb I actually thought it was a joke.
The atlanteans were known to be blue anyway( similar to the Tuaregs( sp?)of the region today.

Some great Atlantis videos on You Tube. Check out “Bright Insight”. Very intelligent guy, makes great videos presents lots of evidence

I’ve seen videos of them doing it. If not sand and rope, what? Carbide saw lol?

It took 100,000 men and 20 years to build ONE pyramid. That’s so many people working for an entire generation.

Tuaregs aren’t blue lol. That’s from an indigo dye in their traditional clothes.

Some great books to read:

Fingerprints of the Gods by Graham Hancock
Magicians of the Gods by Graham Hancock
The Giza Power Plant by Jeff Dunn

I’ve read fingerprints seven times over my life. I find it to be very open to interpretation/discussion. Also having very concrete proof and having great photography throughout

I’ve made it halfway thru Magicians. Heavy on geography and a slow read. Informative and well written but slow.

The Giza Power plant is amazing to read and after reading it a handful of times on in board with Mr. Dunns findings and beliefs.

Love this topic. Need to go dig my books out. Lol. Thank you

Yes i know. They weren’t Aliens😁

It depends the region you’re talking about. In Egypt they made the video about rope cutting
Yes they did make some progress with sandstone, but even with sandstone if you take the time required to do it, and factor in the millions of stone blocks produced, the timelines aren’t even close to matching. In Egypt they used diamond cutting wheels like we use today, only massive. The Nile River used to flow nearly at the base of the pyramids and they would cut a large channel into the Bedrock similar to the way our ancestors here made a Grist Mill function. Into this channel they placed a very large wheel which had an abrasive on the edges of it. They used water power to spin this giant wheel. Kind of like an ancient carbide saw yes

Maybe. I can’t seem to corroborate that through any source from any Egyptologist.

Kind of a big leap assuming they had access to diamond powder considering iron tools were rare and had to be forged from meteorites.

Splitting stone is relatively easy compared to cutting it. Especially so in sandstones as they form by deposition you have one flat plane built in from the layering and since it’s granular rather than crystalline you can determine whatever other planes you want and split with wedges. The wedges need not be metal, wood will work. So you split it into great lengths and chop those into the length blocks you want. You finish the blocks with other pieces of the same stone, abrading them together. The homogeneity of the grit makes it a mathematical certainty of flatness within the diameter of the largest grains. Time and energy are all you need.

I certainly see a use for water power, the grinding of the stone. You could fairly simply turn the wheel motion into an oscillating motion and drag the stones over each other. You match the mass of the moving stone to the output of the wheel. Gravity does it all, you just make decisions. lol

Metal is really a stand-in for time in most cases when we talk about working a material. It’s tougher and more abrasion resistant than almost anything else in nature so it makes a good tool and we’re accustomed to it. The time it saves actually reduces the amount of thought required to use it as well, allowing you to work a greater variety of densities Someone perceptive no doubt intuited how to simply create an extremely flat surface by seeing it happen naturally.

I’m sure @jessethestoner can add a great deal more about that with his specialty in tools.

Few of us alive today can imagine without help ancient peoples’ relationship with time. Our lives are compressed artificially in that regard. Everyone working on a pyramid the size of what’s on the Giza plateau probably understood there was an excellent chance they wouldn’t live to see it finished. Modern people, Americans in particular, don’t invest themselves that way often today.

Or you can do it this way! :joy: I need to read more thoroughly, my bad. You really don’t need diamonds though. The same or better yet selected harder stone of the same type is all you need.

A fair amount of flint can be found in the woods here with just a few minutes looking. Carry a pocket knife on ya and you have your flint and steel…

That being said, I have two lighters on my person currently, and a leatherman in my back pocket, so I am covered either way :rofl: (yes I was a boy scout, yes I can start a fire with flint and steel)

So… you’re saying they consumed a lot of colloidial silver? OR they were master cannabis breeders :wink:

PS Aquaman wasn’t Blue :wink:

Do any of you history buffs know anything about the “lettics”, and perhaps a greater explanation of what some people that were from the Baltics identify as Prussian rather than polish or latvian? I read something regarding how all “white” Europeans, other than Semites descended from this from the original people of this area.

Also, for those of you that have visited these ancient places, what’s the one you would place highest on your bucket list?
