    Just a friendly reminder from your favorite Real Scientist, Validation Boy...

    To this day, the Pyramids and many other megalithic achievements of allegedly Ancient human civilizations cannot be duplicated or reproduced.

    And these were designed and constructed by what would today be mockingly referred to as "Tin-Foilers" , a.k.a. Flat Earthers.

    They were such dumb Flat Earthers, that they built the Pyramids, right? They were so dumb, they sorted the entire calendar, including distant future eclipses. Give me a break, dude.

    These mysterious objects are a testament to the level of deception the vampiric and parasitic Controllers of this world have sunk to.

    It takes a special kind of stooge to stick up for a System responsible for taking humanity from being Pyramid builders... ...all the way down to TMZ.

    Do we have a need for Pyramids? If so, we will build them.

    When I see mountains in the distance, I see the mountaintops, but not the larger lower parts of the mountains. Therefore I know from observation that the Earth is round. Enough with this, VB.

    Why do people think Pyramids are hard to make. All you are making, basically, is a big pile of stones or dirt. As to it lasting, how will it deteriorate, even over thousands of years? The pyramid is an amazingly inefficient way to enclose space, but it is the ONLY way you can really build tall without figuring out weights and having materials that can handle very high tensile stresses

    If you want to see an Ancient building that really challenges moderns to figure out try the Pantheon in Rome, but even the Romans knew the world wasn't flat, (and I think the Egyptians did too)

    A flat-earther in such ancient times would not have been a "tin-foiler." It wasn't a conspiracy theory to believe in the flat earth -- it was simply an interpretation of the relatively limited information available to people at the time.

    Such knowledge is also not related to engineering knowledge. We haven't attempted to duplicate the Apollo missions since they were discontinued, yet the CPUs on their spacecraft were less powerful than a pocket calculator is today. The key was specialised knowledge and technology, and that's what ended up making the pyramids possible in the ancient world.

    We absolutely COULD duplicate them today with enough effort, but we don't have an environment (political, fiscal, practical, etc.) that is favorable to that anymore. Same again as with the Apollo moon landings -- why go to all the effort to send men back to the moon for a weekend visit when robotics are able to tell us so much at so much lower cost and risk, and of course are able to stay out there so much longer? Times change.

    I reiterate, it wasn't "dumb" to be a flat-earther thousands of years ago. The sum of human knowledge had simply not reached a point where modern astronomy was possible. They didn't even have telescopes, yet as you've pointed out, they were able to build those awesome stone monuments. Again, it's a matter of the kind of knowledge and expertise they chose to develop, as well as of the political environment. A god-king like the Pharaoh could make such things happen through force of will. 0bama could never hope to have that kind of support for one of his pet projects :D

    You seem to be extremely skeptical of any idea with support in society - are you skeptical of any conspiracy theories? Surely some of them are wrong. The lizard people one, for instance.

    That said, I do enjoy your posts/general rejection of orthodoxy. We need people like you in society.

    So you're saying they were intelligent enough to design and construct the Pyramids (which we are definitively still not able to reproduce let alone calculate according to all top scientists) yet were completely in the dark about the FACT that the earth is flat?

    I know you're just joking at this point.

    Well, nobody has been able to figure it out yet...

    That's the most ridiculous reasoning. You still have a long way to go, brother.

    Keep sticking up for your beloved Controllers while fronting like you're an actual truth seeker with your Guy Fawkes masks.

    Thing is, the hugest conspiracy of them all is the Globe earth. NASA can't make up their mind about he shape of the very same thing they allegedly took pictures of in 1972.

    Big bang, evolution, climate change...

    All of these institutional deceptions stem from the wildly innacurate Globe model of the earth.

    Its all about limiting the parameters of existential possibilities of the slave masses, bro.

    That's exactly how I feel every time I break off bits of VB genius on this forum.

    Your response was nicely written. It even SOUNDED logical on its face, but we both know it was a systemically pre programmed response.

    Yes. And they were extremely precise. Just like the pyramids. Just like the flat earth map used for thousands of years before the still unproven Globe earth theory was debuted.

    Guy Fawkes was cool. Fake NASA propaganda, not so much.

    Most of the world knew the Earth was not flat, even in the most ancient times. Observations led most to realize that the surface of the planet was curved, by doing simple observations like seeing the tops of mountains and not the base, the mast of a ship sailing over the horizon, or examining a tall tree in the distance and seeing how more of the base came into view as they got closer.

    Thsi is why most ancient socities had "The Earth" on a curved surface, like the back of a turtle.

    [​IMG]

    The others generally had a high mountain in the center and everything else in "the universe" sloped down from there.

    [​IMG]

    The Ancient Greeks did take it a step further, realizing the planet was a sphere, but they greatly underestimated the size of the sphere.

    Funny how modern people love to try and imagine that ancient people were idiots. Even a child that can not read understands that light travels faster then sound. The ancients knew that as well, even if they did not understand things like the speed of photons and traveling of sound vibrations through a medium like air.

    For your contention to be valid, Mr. Validation Boy, you'd have to show us that the pyramid builders were "flat-earthers" to begin with. You up to the task?

    Btw, the pyramids could easily duplicated and reproduced. Maybe you mean that the pyramids could not be reproduced using the tools available at the time, but you'd still be wrong.

    Except anyone in the sciences if you will knew the earth wasn't flat. There is a myth people believed this, they didn't. Many didn't care really. People on coasts of large seas or lakes knew full well the earth was not flat and of course ancient writers point this out.



    .

    True, man space flight could now easily take all that computing power with them instead of having to radio down and up for information and in some cases guidance control.

    People have shown how they would have been built on a smaller scale. The Nuwabians in Georgia were building pyramids.

    Actually as stated early most people didn't think the earth was flat.

    Oh look an attack on the President.........now that is petty

    That puts it in the time frame of King Xerxes invading Greece, Buddha and Confucius, Socrates and Sophocles, and the discovery of the Lost Wax process of casting bronze.

    Eratosthenes in the 3rd century BCE, determined the circumference of the earth. 500 BCE there was plenty of discussion of the round earth and during the same time period Aristotle declared that it was a sphere.

    Now ancient Egypt? Probably didn't know the earth was a sphere but it is possible they did and it didn't matter to them as they had a mythology of the world being a disc on a sea. (Not sure what the sea was thought to be on but that is for later). Now in flowery language other ancient culture talked about the earth have corners but that was not literal.

    I also believe that ancient Babylon event before Eratosthenes said the earth was a sphere but I can't find the reference.

    Anyone?

    Significantly, the ancient Jews and those who inspired Jewish cosmology early on did hold that view. It's true that the Greeks at least eventually worked out the spherical character of the Earth and the Moon, but that knowledge came later and was for a time geographically and culturally isolated. Knowledge of the spheroid Earth spread to different cultures at different times, and did NOT reach the Jews early enough to correct their myths prior to their recording in what has since become the Bible.

    See: http://etb-cosmology.blogspot.com/2012/04/ancient-hebrew-conception-of-universe.html

    This is the universe described throughout the Bible, in particular in Genesis and the rest of the Old Testament:

    HEAVEN.JPG

    Also,

    Many ancient cultures have had conceptions of a flat Earth, including Greece until the classical period, the Bronze Age and Iron Age civilizations of the Near East until the Hellenistic period, India until the Gupta period (early centuries AD) and China until the 17th century. It was also typically held in the aboriginal cultures of the Americas, and a flat Earth domed by the firmament in the shape of an inverted bowl is common in pre-scientific societies.

    A pyramid is about the easiest shape to build. Fundamentally, it's just a pile.

    Na, they were big government liberals who built the pyramids....

    Maybe so. But nobody has achieved a pyramid of that method or stature since the originals, because we cannot.

    Coprolite. It has not been matched simply because nobody has had the need to build such a massive structure with such a small amount of inside space. For all the mass of the Great Pyramid (over 1.8 million cubic meters), there is less then 1,000 square meters of open space inside of it. Other then as a tomb, a structure such as this is absolutely worthless.

    And BTW, are you aware that this is not even the tallest pyramid in the world?

    Not sure if you knew this, but the Pyramids were never used as tombs, bro.

    Pharoahs were all buried in the desert, underground. The pyramids were an electricity generating device, along with the obelisks.
