Cost. Try building a high rise out of jigsaw stone. Concrete is going to save bucket-loads. Some of the aspects of these designs are being incorporated into modern buildings. The Birds Nest built in China for the Olympics had a separate roof from the stadium, and millions of zig zag pylons around the perimeter to absorb shock from an earthquake. Tokyo is famous for earthquake proof structures, mostly using designs that date back over a thousand years.

The Tokyo "Sky Tree" is an intricate design, not using stone, but pipes. Modern materials.





And in his rise buildings



And incorporating what might seem like very ancient methods on very modern structures, such as a pendulum



The tuned mass dampener is an object (the gold ball) built in to a building's interior to absorb seismic shock.

gold? Not only is it 91 floors, but there's an enormous gold ball in the middle of it? Some people really do have more money than sense. :-/

How familiar are you with the art of Hans Glaser?

Here is some of his other work.

Well, in that middle picture he's just being rude. >__>

I'd much rather you stuck around and learn some new things along side us but it's your prerogative.

[Abramelin]

Yeah, when people don't agree with me, I also simply leave..... nah.

What's this then? I have been arguing for years in the Oera Linda Book thread (in total, part 1+2, now more than a 1000 pages), and I am still not tired of it.

This is not about a sermon and when your flock doesn't appreciate your 'wisdom', you go look for greener pastures with people more easy to convert?

[TheOtherSide1945]

no that last video did it for me.

[Sir Wearer of Hats]

You meant that it destroyed whatever you thought about Ancient Aliens. or that is was boring, or that it was.. .what?

In other words: what did you think of it?

yea that killed ancient aliens for me. between that and the site that goes along with it, pretty much covers everything. its done pretty well. we could have been seeded by aliens, but i dont think that we have had aliens building stuff or setting off bombs. pretty much all the evidence is not really evidence. but i do think that what is mainstream about history isnt right. i think civilizations are older than what is mainstream. i just wanted to believe the pot head with crazy hair. i still believe in ufos(forced to when you have seen one and not some stupid hovering light or chinese lanterns that just float across the sky) i feel like Muldar when he finds out about the super soldiers and thinks everything is a coverup and lie for the project.
