Ancient Astronaut Theory
#54
RE: Ancient Astronaut Theory
Quote:I need to see a single decisive unanswerable objection to pyramid being built in 20 years, not a lot of "it's awefully hard for us to imagine it being pulled off with techniques we can dream up in our complacent but utterly inexperienced minds while sitting in our armchairs".

Hmmm.... I see it the other way. The Egyptologists are the ones who insist that it was built in 20 years using copper chisels and dolomite hammers. Have they ever tried an experiment? I recall one program where the extraordinary accuracy of the pyramid's placement was explained by claiming that a weighted string was held up to the sky between two stars and a line drawn. In this manner (it was alleged) the Egyptians obtained the remarkable accuracy of a less than 5 percent of one degree deviation from true north. Did they show an experiment to replicate such precision? No. They simply stated it....preacher like...and moved on. That bothers me.

Egyptologist Mark Lehner once tried an experiment to see how many stones a dozen men could quarry... except he gave them iron tools and a winch.

I don't think Egyptologists should be exempt from having to produce evidence to support their theory.

Moving that number of stones, that high into the air, using the techniques that THEY claim were in use ( this is not something that I invented) in 20 years seems absurd on its face. But if they would conduct an experiment to show how their methods worked I would be delighted.







I also do not intend to hold my breath waiting.
