pyramids

A post in the Israeli Jar thread got me thinking. What discoveries do we know of that were discovered by more than one society (or person) in more than one place? Pyramid structures. Use of hallucinogenic drugs (as per the interesting post by @grunion ). Beer/alcohol. What else? And have you...

I should preface by saying I have an English B.A. with a concentration in creative writing. I titled the thread in order to permit a wide-ranging discussion including author Chris Dunn and others. However, this original post should steer us toward focus on one theory put forward last year by a...

Ok, so I'm having this debate with a pyramidiot and the drill holes keep surfacing every now and then. It's kinda hard to argue to this specific argument because i can't find almost any scientific conclusions about stone drilling/cutting in Egypt except some pretty vague texts about bronze...

This is just bizarre. http://www.newsday.com/news/world/ben-carson-pyramids-in-egypt-built-by-biblical-figure-joseph-1.11071259 I think it's time for the republican challengers to blast Carson on his religious beliefs.

Okay, I'll try to make this short. Last night was my 211 Religions class. We talked about Native American spiritual beliefs, which he somehow managed to turn into talking about ancient structures and their astronomical alignment and similarities to each other. Basically he was dumbfounded by...

A series of caves and tunnels have been (re)discovered by fringe archaeologist Andrew Collins under the Giza plateau, and Zahi Hawass is currently exploring them. http://www.responsesource.com/releases/rel_display.php?relid=mQQQQ Collins says the tunnels lead to the Tomb of Hermes... Collins...

This is just totally and utterly great. His website's pretty cool too... All I can say is that no human could be this cool... the ONLY explanation is that this "retired carpenter" is actually Aldebranese on his father's side.

I was arguing with a creationist, and they claimed that humanity is becoming less advanced as an argument against evolution. They cited the well-known linguistics study a while back in which asserted that human language overall is becoming less complex. I rebutted this claim by citing some of...

European Pyramids have allegedly been discovered, but is it wishful thinking? A no holds barred fight to decide the outcome is required so: In the red corner we have Semir Osmanagic, new-age philosopher and amateur archaeologist And in the blue corner we have the Bosnian university mining and...

In an article concerning a French architect's theory that at least one of the pyramids is an engineered mechanism was this doozy of a statement by the article's author: "What no one is exactly sure of is how the ancient Egyptians managed to move and assemble the stones into a pyramid 480 feet...

I remember when I was interested in the paranormal the claim that pyramids sharpen razor blades. Is there any evidence for this? If there isn't where did the idea originate?

http://www.pyramidsarenotamystery.net/ King Solomon built the pyramids as temples. Underneath the Sphinx, there is a labyrinth of one-way passages and tunnels connecting all the pyramids. "Drop all of what you consider to be intelligence, logic and rationality. They are of no use here." Amen...

Not sure if this has been discussed before (a search on the messageboards didn't bring anything up), but someone on another messageboard posted this URL, and I figured I'd share it here: Is the Temple of Horus At EDFU, EGYPT a CPU? When I first saw this I was sure it was just a joke, but then...

Can anyone provide more up-to-date info on this? http://www.cnn.com/2002/WORLD/asiapcf/east/06/20/china.aliens/?related I assume it wasn't built by aliens, but I would like to hear about any official report resulting from the visit of these scientists.

The ancient Egyptians and the Mayans both built pyramids - including some impressively large ones. Could the Mayans have been inspired by the Egyptian pyramids? Could there be a common cultural link between the two - a source independent of either, yet inspiring to both? The short answer is...
