Of course they moved those massive, multtonne blocks of stone with sound. What do you mean they use pulleys, ramps and hundreds of years worth of elbow grease? That's totally ridiculous.

It's gonna be groundbreaking when they find that massice ancient speaker under the desert

[–] stoy@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 month ago

Nah, what will be groundbreaking is when they find out that the egyptians only listened to hardbase

Pfft, everyone knows Wardenclyffe was built to subdue the horrors brought into the world by Lovecraft.

Lovecraft only foretold their arrival. They were actually subdued over Siberian by Wardenclyffe resulting in the Tunguska Event of 1908.

Pyramids were built over a vast span of time by different Dynasties, though I think it mostly dried up by the end of the Old Kingdom (pun not intended because drought is one of the causes of the fall of the Old kingdom lol)

Thank you!

The wavy stripes extending from the center to the four corners of the flag represent the three major rivers of the Assyrian homeland: the Tigris, the Euphrates, and the Great Zab.

Rivers. Or "uhh... Idk sound waves, whatever."
I can't stand "ancient alien" believers. We live in a time where we have all of the worlds knowledge and history at our finger tips, and these people feel like it's more important to just make shit up.

And what humans did with our limited, non-alien brains is pretty damn amazing.

The Ancient Egyptians, as far as we know, invented the pulley. But somehow they were too primitive to drag around blocks of stone if they just had a whole lot of people pulling on them- although they were non-primitive enough to put them on a sledge and wet the area in front of that sledge to make the ground smoother and slicker.

It sort of seems like they had the same brains as our brains that came up with all of this modern technology. And, considering these Ancient Aliens folks seem to think aliens created us, brains and all, you'd think they would see it that way.

Ok I am far from an archaeologist but did Egypt even have cuneiform writing? That's not Egypt, right?

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 10 points 2 months ago

They did not. Cuneiform was Mesopotamian. Egypt used hieroglyphics and something you might not be familiar with known as demotic script.

Ancient astronaut theorists suggest, yes.

I think that’s quite enough talk about us not knowing everything about our history and science. Piffle! I say. Harrumph!

Historical mysteries. Ridiculous.
