Late night thoughts

[Nobby the Bastard]

I know stone masons that will be highly offended to be told that they couldn't replicate the accurancy with modern hand tools. It's just that they tend to work at much smaller scales.


I said modern because they'll be using iron, not bronze, which keeps it's edgefor longer.

Trying having a look at some of the work by Chris Dunn (an engineer) on ancient egyptian engineering, it's very interesting.

It doesn't matter a damn how much time and patience you have ... trying to do make these big blobs of granite that precisely with copper chisels is just not possible!


It seem s to be that people just accept what has been taught to them, they seem to lack the ability to think for themselves ... they forget that the knowledge being taught to them isn't always factual, it's a theory, especially in so many areas connected to ancient Egypt.

Examples ...
1) It used to be taught that everything rotated around the
Earth, to say otherwise would have been a quick execution for heresy ... but feck me, turned out it wasn't at the centre!

2) The Sphinx is attributed to a specific pharaoh at a specific point in time, why, because the egyptologists put forward a theory!

Along comes a geologist who proves scientifically that the weathering of the enclosure (from which it was carved) was due to water erosion ... the last time there was significant enough rainfall to create that type of erosion was thousands of years before the classic ancient egyptians existed.

The egyptologists say otherwise though and for some insane reason everyone believes them ... they all just ignore the scientific proof!

[Nobby the Bastard]

The rainfall theory has been widely debunked these days.

You slave. Take this block of stone and emery cloth and rub it until it's a vase. I'll come back in a couple of months and see how you're getting on.

The geologist from an area where he's used to see water erosion sees water erosion. The local geologist that has been looking at erosion for years in the local region sees erosion caused by sand and wind.

The sphinx is recessed into the landscape and so suddenly sand has no wind blowing it and it falls. Eroding as it falls for over 4000 years.

As will water sand will wear the weak patches.

Local geologists are aware of this and are also aware of other geological ecamples outside of this epoch.

Unless you go in with a microscope you wouldn't see a difference.

It's the reason why there's soda blasting and sand blasting.

Hows this for some thoughts to keep you awake at night https://www.medicinenet.com/what_are_the_72_other_genders/article.htm

Random thought here.

Why is it unwise to wear Russian Underpants?

Because Chernobl Fall Out.
