    The Papyrus only details the outer construction. The limestone casing on the upper layer of the pyramid. I think that's the point. Many megalithic structures around the world existed much older than Khufu, and many were refashioned or built on top of, used as foundations. I think the question people have is if Khufu was a builder or just did renovations.

    If he got the measurements wrong, and was under the impression the femur was 1/3rd the skeleton and his skeleton is 9ft, but the femur is actually ~26%, that implies either 6ft of skeleton, or a 3ft femur by the 'mistaken' calculations, and by the 'correct' one it means it's still a giant, either 7ft or much larger. This claim he flubbed his calculations does not make sense.

    Probably natural, formed like Pyrite or azurite suns get formed.

    "The one who is looking for Shambala has to look inside himself. For people Shambala means first of all pure knowledge which comes from another side of consciousness and opens up to any human who works over himself, over purity of his thoughts and keeps domination of agathodemon and Love to God… So don’t look it in the external world ... You just have to look inside of yourself and to find out who you are in fact and why you came to this world.” These lines are from the great book Sensei of Shambala http://books.allatra.org/en#sensei

    "Murrieta faced racism from white Americans...
    The gang murdered at least 14 Anglo-Americans and 28 Chinese..."

    Sounds like he was a bit of a racist himself.

    The Bosnian Pyramids have fossilized organic material found in between the layers of their coatings carbon dated to about 30,000 years ago. And "Adams Calendar" in South Africa is said to be about 350,000 years old, and still accurate today. And a giant 4 foot tall human footprint, embedded in a verticle piece of fossilized mud, is said to be 4 million years old. And the "Apollo 20 Mona Lisa" is said to be 5 million years old. Go figure, critters have been galavanting all over creation since only God knows when.

  • Reply to: The Babylonian Marriage Market: An Auction of Women in the Ancient World   7 years 10 months ago
    Comment Author: Mythos

    It could be argued that nothing has really changed since the times of auctioning off brides, to our present day courtship rituals, except for a couple aspects. First, the auctioneer and organizers have been cut out of the transaction (middlemen.) Second, the entire process is less formal. Third, the transfer of wealth goes to the bride herself from the groom (the poor wretch) instead of the bride's family.

    Other than that, the process is still the same. It is just that in those days, people may have been a little more real, and a little less deluded. Life was short and full of strife, so cutting out the crap was probably more important in those days.

    It could be a fake? A few things of note. What technique was used to date and who did it? Was there only one test done or where multiple tests performed and or at other testing institutions to remove any potential personal/professional biases to confirm this date? Was a piece of the papyrus used? It’s not mentioned in the article. Was a sample of the ink/pigments used to date? Not mentioned in the article. Was the ‘style’ of the hieroglyphics used to date, meaning did they match any other known hieroglyphics from that era of time when this document was written? Was this find found with anything else that also gives the same date? Was the surrounding soil tested to determine when it was last exposed to sunlight?

    Further, the picture depicted seems to show that this papyrus is missing a lot of information. It always amazes me how they can do such a good job of filling in all those missing pieces of information and it always comes out just they way it is expected to .

    One other point based on 4o years of observation. When ever there is controversy surrounding anything, as the controversy grows there is always, I repeat always a BRAND NEW discovery that will always confirm the established accepted academic timeline and the ‘why’ of something. Always. No matter what the field of study.

    The document is very fragmented so that does prove your right. I dont see them desperate. Just more questions than answers but that, is archeology.

    I wouldn't go that far as to say modern man began in just the "Americas." What I would say is that the "Out of Africa" theory is wrong. Humanity started on every continent and those people moved around hundreds of thousands of years before the "out of Africa" theory. Humanity is everywhere. We just didn't start out in "Africa" and suddenly became Asian, Hispanic or Fair skinned people from one group of people. Archeology is wrong based on preconceived notions and flawed academics. The history of this planet is older than those lame stream archeologist's will have you believe. They all have their own agendas in order to get more money to perpetuate the myths of humanity. History of the Middle-East is wrong by tens of thousands of years. Egypt is older than the current time frames we are given. The Sphinx for one is about 10,000 years older than it's stated dates. As is the Pyramids. When science removes it's blinders and stop with the AD/BC crap and go with Before Common Era and Common Era, times will change.

    Hey nitwit, nothing about what you said precludes the idea of "afro-centrism". You need to better understand time scale, geochronology, etc. Plus, this other guy says, rather broadly, we need to heed those with white hair and/or a nursing home ID over people with PhDs. Okay, I get that academia often forces new discoveries into a box but, sheesh, you people are just too out there for others to take your claims or comments seriously.

    That was my thought too. They seem to get desperate now as their version of history seems to crumble more and more by the day. Even if it is genuine it does not prove too much since the 'completion' could relate to additions and changes made later.

    if the "scientists" would listen to the ELDERS, and the stories of our Native Peoples, instead of "knowing all", they might perhaps learn something??

    can we finally get over the nonsense of Afro-centrism, and acknowledge that modern man began in Americas & migrated to Asia via Bering straits & Europe from North America?
