Pyramid building secrets unlocked

In many cases, I don't think it's a case of being just ill-informed. I think it's also due to fringe adherents' deliberate avoidance of studying legitimate research. Whether this is because they do not wish to expend the considerable effort it takes to be properly informed, or because they're afraid how quickly legitimate studies will nullify their beliefs, it's not an excuse. It's a slothful copout. I'm fully aware that all egyptologists aren't sun addled lunatics. I have no doubt that most are intelligent, creative, and curious. I'mnot talking about individuals when I slam them, just a field... [More]

I believe they used geysers because I believe this is the best fit explanation for the evidence, all the evidence. Obviously geysers are not a best fit idea for a phenomenon that existed at Giza but this is something that needs to be reconciled with the evidence and with theory. I know how how to reconcile it with evidence so this is where I personally would begin. Well, you either have no idea of the geological requirements for a cold water geyser or you are purposely ignoring it. There is hardly any difference between the geological requirements of a cold water and a hot water geyser. Both h... [More]

Well, you either have no idea of the geological requirements for a cold water geyser or you are purposely ignoring it. There is hardly any difference between the geological requirements of a cold water and a hot water geyser. Both happen only in volcanic areas. Hot water in volcanic active and cold water in volcanic extinct areas. Volcanic areas are not composed of limestone but mostly granitic. Giza fits neither, the nearest volcanic activity that ever happened around there was in the Black Dessert, about 400 miles away. It took me about 10 minutes to find that out. You know so much more than... [More]

You know so much more than you're letting on. For instance you obviously know that carbonated water can travel underground for 400 miles. If I'd known that I'd have given up long ago. Two out of three geologists don't know there's such a thing as cold- water geysers but you know how close they have to be to a source of CO2. I don't even know how far the gas can travel under the ground so my ignorance just makes me keep looking. That would be a so called artesian well, which requires an impermeable sediment, better said, two of them. Does not exist in Giza either.

Up until the 14th of last month Hawass didn't even admit there was a cave at Giza. I suppose this all is going to be baby steps. Hawass discovered a cave himself about ten years ago, he wrote an article about the "Osiris Shaft" at the time. What he did not, and still does not, is to acknowledge that "cave complex" a certain quack postulates. And to the contrary of what the aforesaid claims, the plateau was scanned in the last month by ground penetrating radar and guess what? No such complex was found. Besides, it is quite irrelevant what Hawass says, the competent people in this case are the g... [More]

Especially for a cold water geyser, as it would have destroyed all... [More]

Yes, Hawass is working on one now and I applaud him. It would also be nice that since they can't find the water inlet nor outlet down here with today's technology that they at least do a comprehensive analysisof the water. Maybe if they wait till august there will even be high levels of CO2 in it! Can't, the best is trace amounts else it turns into carbonic acid, which is unstable under atmospheric pressure. It fizzles out, just like your soda pop.

Can't, the best is trace amounts else it turns into carbonic acid, which is unstable under atmospheric pressure. It fizzles out, just like your soda pop. Yes. You're quite right. I meant "high levels" as in far higher than would be expected. This does mean little more than trace amounts. There are anecdotal reports that under some conditions this water does in- deed "fizzle". I was thinking of this when I used the term "high levels".

JGirl I understand your feelings exactly. The fringe has been stuck in the same boring rut for decades. There are lots more interesting cultures, sites, artifacts and places to discuss but the same ones just keep getting beaten to death.....boring you got it - and i will, however reluctantly, include stonehenge in there too. although, man oh man, if only they could actually uncover something tangible about that site...
