Do you really believe ancient egyptians built these pyramids

[edwardnigma]

Yo Vibe you should join the Nation of Islam and wait for the mothership like Elijah Muhammad said. Because your saying the same thing he said.....So if he's crazy.....obviously you are too

Also I'm curious, did the Aliens(According to you) show us anything else (like fiat said) besides how to stack rocks and make a god damn pyramid....

How does if feel knowing that you have the same ideas as a Black Nationalist and according to some a cult leader.BTW I'm not joking you share some of the same ideas. Exactly.

What is your take on that fact?

Stacking rocks is obviously simple, they've been doing it for years and years. It wasn't until later all civilizations ended up getting it right. Many stones are perfectly smooth, not one scratch, groove or anything is found. Obviously after the years, thousands of years, many of the stones are damages but many do stay as they were.

I'm only suggesting they gave tools and knowledge to IMPROVE mankind.

Also, fuck racist cults.

If they were a so called "advanced civilization", then why didn't they have any sort of electricity\electronics.

they have found ancient batteries at dig sites

To make the copper chisel work they would simply need black smiths repairing them. The repair is trivial. One blacksmith could produce enough repaired copper chisel for several dozen stone workers.

While we might not think it is 'practical' today it was certainly doable with the knowledge the Egyptians processed.

yeah someone already mentioned the Baghdad Battery but I didn't want to have to point out that Baghdad is in Iraq, not Egypt and more importantly, that device dates back to about 1500-2000 years after the pyramids at Giza were built. Also there is serious doubt that the things were "batteries" and not just jars.

I don't know about Iraq at the time but I'm pretty sure Ancient Egyptians would not have used something like that to electroplate gold onto silver which was the theory of it's use. In Ancient Egypt silver was far more rare than gold and thus more prized.

coulpe questions Why is it that we are suprised that the egyptians built the pyramids

the arabs - dravidians create algebra = no suprise

chinese make silk from worms = no suprise

one of the oldest know civilizations creates pyramids = must have been aliens

Remember the version of history you read is from the perspective of the Europeans ( im not really making this a race issue) What you should understand is that the people who thought there was a mystery also thoutht that the continent of africa had produced nothing in the way of science math medicine. so of course there is a mystery. to them all learning had come from the greeks and romans. How could the egyptians have produced amazing things independant of greeks and romans. Dont belittle the abilities of the Egyptians they where smart peoeple

I am bothered by the thought however, that building the pyramids was just "stacking rocks " this whole thing took precision and skill these rocks are several tons and could only be off by a fraction of an inch. and you gotta remember that the great pyramid is as tall as a skyscrapper. this took some awesome skill and planning. the chambers have openings that are continue from deep inside to the outer wall and align them selves with the moon.

How so, they put it to use and tested it themselves and it worked.

You do know there's sections of the pyramid that needs lighting right? They assume torches, but there's no evidence for that. There's no soot, there's no black on the ceilings or walls. How were they then able to have any type of artwork painted into the tomb in the darkness? Something like the Baghdad Battery would've had to have been used.

 

[fiat_money]

Is there any proof that these "batteries" actually being used as batteries though?

If so, what were they connected to?

Plenty of things have the potential to be used as batteries, so unless they were used as such, it's not really significant.

PUN!!!

Good shit.

They would've been used for lighting, I don't think nothing more. Unless they figured out how to make cheap ass power tools...

Were there any wires, circuits, or electrically powered light sources found that support this theory?

 

[VIBE]

What they just imagined this up out of thin air and not used it or had knowledge of what it did? It was something they used, experienced or seen.

Now granted those pictures aren't the 'Baghdad Battery', it goes to show something strange, what is it? A light blub? Many say it's a lotus flower giving off it's aroma, which would be fine but they replicated this into a light blub, how if it's a flower and not a light blub?

The 'Baghdad Battery' is obviously a long lost technology that did hold an electric charge, something like 2 volts. Was only used for gold plating? But who's to say they didn't stumble upon it through the usage? Some how some way.

It would explain how they lit up their chambers, tunnels, halls etc without leaving behind any type of soot or markings etc..

I heard too that this chamber, they found this carving in, was a secret place for only people who were authorized. High priests? I dunno..

Either they made this all up on their own or they were given/taught this stuff.

 

[fiat_money]

So no actual proof has been found?

Because the object in that carving just looks like a flower with a snake in it.

Even if that were some kind of giant crookes tube, I'm pretty sure the voltage outputted by those "batteries" would be far too low to power it.

Besides, the crookes tube you posted is one that was intentionally modeled after those carvings, so of course there is a uncanny resemblance.

It can be argued either way.

The modeled tube is exactly that, modeled after that carving. It's to test it out, is it or isn't it a light blub. If it wasn't, then how was it possible for them to pull this off? If it was really only a flower, with an aroma, or a snake coming out of it, how did they produce their results? What are the hands holding at the end? Whats under the hands/arms?

You probably don't know, I'm not asking for answers, just questions to ask when seeing stuff like this.

If you give me a lemon, a penny and nail i can make a battery out of it. That doesn't mean a lemon is a battery.

I have a feeling you're going to hold on to this idea regardless of what I'm about to tell you but here goes:

a) The main burial chambers of the great pyramids were painted before they had roofs unless the pyramids were somehow built form the top down in which case i would agree aliens did that shit.
b) the photo of the 'lightbulb' glyph you posted below shows the relief is actually covered in soot (the limestone is white). ironic.
c) if i was building a wonder of the world i'd probably give it a quick clean before i sealed the entrance off forever.

d) ...

"Many visitors to the monuments express surprise that the painting could have been carried out in the darkness of the tombs and in the dim light of the temples. The Egyptian lamp was of the simplest type, merely a wick floating in oil. It is not infrequently represented in the scenes in the tombs, where it usually takes the form of an open receptacle mounted on a tall foot which, in the smaller examples, can be grasped in the hand. In the pictures, there arise from the receptacle what we may assume to be wicks or flames, always curved over the top as if blown by a current of air. Stand lamps in limestone have been found in the pyramid of El-Lahun, and representations of them in stone in the 'Labrinth' at Hawara. In Egyptian houses, small dishes were also used as lamps. They usually have their rims pinched into a spout ... "

"The absence of smoke-blackening in the tombs of the kings is also no difficult explanation. If olive-oil is used, there is very little smoke, and a suitable covering over the lamp, for which various methods readily suggest themselves, would very easily prevent carbon being deposited on the ceiling."

This is probably what's going wrong with your approach. Hieroglyphs are not photographs and should not be taken literally. People that can't read them and aren't familiar with ancient Egyptian mythology shouldn't expect to be able to interpret their meaning.

 

[fiat_money]

That simply means that crookes tubes have a variety of functional shapes.

Which is true:

Just because you can shape some modern device like something from an ancient carving doesn't mean the ancient carving is of that same modern device.
