Mate you ought to watch it the same way you watch comedy, that's what I do and by the lords of Cobol,they are ever so funny and entertaining.  It's like watching an episode of Top Gear, you know it should be a car show, but in fact you spend half the time laughing.

your rationale is that because they believed in stuff we find crazy they were actually idiots and couldn't havr built all the things they did?

Not calling them idiots at all. It is just hard for me to understand with all the knowledge they had why they had so little compassion towards human life. Your right it was their belief and like I was telling Wolverine we will never know what went on back then, only some truly amazing work.

For the last part like I said… just me thinking

knowledge =/=  compassion. just look at America and it's irrational fear of contraception, free healthcare and he idea that women ask to be raped based on what they're wearing.

Indeed. Intelligence and knowledge in no way automatically lead to compassion and empathy.

Or building a temple would mean you are secular and had detailed knowledge of precipitation.

I would build an elaborate tomb with golden idols and giant rolling rock traps devoted to the rain cycle.

They were compassionate. They just did too many hallucinating drugs and went nuts. Licking the backs of poisonous frogs was high on their list. Let that be a history lesson to ya boys and girls, don't lick the backs of poisonous frogs or you will hallucinate and start ripping people's hearts out. Lol.

So that thing she's holding there is a gib?

Thought it was a jib.

In any case, she seems to be a good gib/jib holder.

Good form, etc.

Up whereever your species traditionally crams thinks Harte
Besides, you'd have thought a water-bender would have been able to find some sort of Earth-Bender in order to cut her gib/jib, it's just slackness on her part I tell you.

according to AA every meaningful event and structure in human history was concocted, carried out and covered up by aliens. which begs the question is AA part of the continued cover-up of the alien infestation of our planet. is reality TV really an accurate portrayl of reality. sometimes I feel like I'm in  some sort of Lovecrafting story and I'm the only one that knows the truth and have to fight the urge to throw myself out the window. then I turn off the TV and go play LEGOs with my kids.

Before watching the video in the OP I thought I'd go back and watch the first episode of the season. Barely five minutes in and I'm cursing at the "TV" (my laptop actually).

"OMG! Pyramids all over the world! How is it possible that these primitive people, before global communication, were all building pyramids with similar shapes and structures? It must be aliens!"

I guess the fact that it's a bloody basic design structure, wide, square base with four sides narrowing as you go up couldn't explain anything.

I think I need therapy. I can't watch this show without getting angry or weeping at the continued erosion of our collective intelligence. That and bouts of self-loathing for not finding a way to exploit a certain segment of the population for my own financial gain.

I just watched the same ep and I have a question. Why no pyramids in Australia?
