It's like my graveyard pic. Here's a grave. There's another grave. These are all obviously graves. But the hole? Why, that's altogether different! The experts have no idea what that hole is for. Harte I'll take that is a logical argument when you really have no evidence that a body exist, just speculation. cool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harte Posted June 12, 2021 #131 Share Posted June 12, 2021 "Coffer," eh? LOL You mean sarcophagus, which IS a grave. Or a cenotaph. If it was a cenotaph, the accoutrements with it don't make much sense. The funerary temple, the so-called "air shafts," the plugs that sealed it, the Grand Gallery, etc. Harte 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Am I a good boy?” And the priest would answer, “Thou art, o man, a good boy. A /very/ good boy.” And the people would rejoice and share a communal meal of ham. That said, the ritual of the very good boi was markedly different. —Jaylemurph I mean was this post necessary? Good for chuckles with your brethren I guess. I’d rather keep new members.

Regardless of their “heretical pyramid” ideas. yes it’s tough Dude, that post was a masterpiece. And there isn't anything in this section BUT good chuckles with our brethren. Your looking at two decades of showing claims false when you look at just me. I even started doing it in limericks - just so it wouldn't be so easy. There's nothing here we haven't been through down to the finest detail scores of times over the years. Reminds me of a joke. A new convict came into the prison. In the cafeteria, he heard a man yell out "23." Everyone rolled laughing. Another guy stood up and with a knowing look yelled "57," then winked and nodded. The convicts screamed laughter. The new guy asked the con next to him what gives with these numbers. His neighbor said everyone knows all the jokes by heart, so we just indexed them and now we just call their numbers. New guy thinks he'll try it so he stands up and yells "42!" Not a peep. Could've heard a pin drop. New guy sits back down embarrassed and asked his neighbor why no laughter. He said "Well, son, I guess some folks can tell 'em and some folks caint." Harte 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some people come here and are interested in sharing and learning new things, but there are also some frequent posters who seem to have nothing better to do than make silly comments and poke fun at others.

If it has an air of “ancient aliens” or “all historians are liars” about it, then Rupert and the Basset Hounds turn up. If not, it’s serious faces and genuine questions. Look at the Younger Dryas thread, or the Sumerian thread. But if someone decides to bring Plato’s invention into a discussion as anything other than an analogy? Respect exunt stage left.

Yeah I've been doing online archaeology/mysteries stuff since the late 80's on USENET. I have a fair appreciation of whether a thread will be 'useful', educational, an ego fest, woo parade, tête dans le cul! or Et mon cul, c’est du poulet? whatever, sometimes I'm surprised but most often I am not. Since we aren't paid to post here, and haven't given an oath or agreed to anything with our sponsor Saru or the demi-god of forums a Hindu fellow called Sintor the twice severed.

Since many constructions in - say, the Khufu P, are merely symbolic, never meant for human use, and... since three coffers that were sealed in antiquity were empty, implying a form of symbolism, and... since the coffers of the most famous Pharos were also found to be empty, I have educed that the coffers in the great pyramids were symbolic, not meant for human use. There. We have our differences of opinion, but I admit my point of view is not proven. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
