You're just being dismissive like modern archaeologists. Way to prove my point.
replied 2892d
If there was ever modern technology it would be more obvious. As it is we ha e now left an impact on earth that will be obvious over geological time scales. Hence the anthroprocene.

You have no fucking clue what you are even talking about. Some of them are so big even the technology TODAY wouldn't do. There is no crane on earth that can move such blocks.
replied 2892d
Not true, but it doesnt really matter. It is funny that anyone could pretend experts hide things. That would defeat their very careers.
TrashPosterInTheDark
replied 2892d
These structures are obviously impossible to hide by their size and abundance but they are totally dismissed. That is 100% for sure.
Prove me wrong.
replied 2891d
They are not dismissed so much as well documented and studied. There isn't really a way to prove you wrong. You will deny any study that doesnt agree with your conclusions.

replied 2891d
Lol you are funny. Show me those studies.
replied 2891d
Not interested in looking for them for you. If you had any real interest in the subject you would have read them. Instead you only look at whatever fits your preconceived ideas.

replied 2891d
BTW if there is someone with preconceived ideas if litterally you who don't even dare to look at evidences but prefer dissmiss them all because they don't fit your preconceived ideas.
replied 2891d
The issue is that I have seen the evidence. It doesnt fit your conclusions. There is nothing about large stones that requires advanced technology.
TrashPosterInTheDark
replied 2891d
Oh yeah? Please tell me more how they did move them since nobody still have any clue about it. Apparently you do.

Here is the guy remaking Stonehenge by himself.

replied 2891d
That solution doesn't scale at all. But you know that right?
replied 2891d
It scales enough. Anything too big for that method was more than likely carved out of a stone that was already there. Not knowing how doesnt mean you get to give answers.
TrashPosterInTheDark
replied 2890d
To me it just like you can't think for yourself. All you need is a youtube video showing off unpractible solution and you're happy with it.
replied 2890d
Mostly because it is an unimportant issue.

replied 2890d
Megalithic structures are made BY DESIGN to have different size of blocks. None of them have actually the same same for a single wall.
TrashPosterInTheDark
replied 2890d
*same size
TrashPosterInTheDark
replied 2890d
So how can you say it scales when the set-ups would require even more time and energy than moving the blocks themselves? Explain.
TrashPosterInTheDark
replied 2890d
It doesn't scales at all because it requires a new wood set up for each size of blocks. It would work if blocks where all the same size and shape which they aren't.
replied 2891d
There are ways to move them. There ate people who have moved stones like that by themselves. One guy made a castle by himself, another recently recreated Stonehenge by himself.
TrashPosterInTheDark
replied 2891d
I'll wait for real plausible explanations that actually scales.
replied 2891d
No explanation actually matters. Not knowing how it was done doesnt mean you get to give your own answers. Especially wacked out biblical answers.
TrashPosterInTheDark
replied 2890d
What I do know because of archeological evidences is that something utterly destroyed them all accross the globe around the same time. That's a fact. W
replied 2890d
If by around the same time you mean over a couple thsousand years.
TrashPosterInTheDark
replied 2890d
So their destruction are in a very narrow time frame.
replied 2889d
In archemogical terms maybe. The spread was a longer time than modern civilisation has existed for. Definitely not close enough for biblical flood.
TrashPosterInTheDark
replied 2889d
Wrong, look at the date again. We are taking about the summerian flood BTW.
replied 2889d
The flood of a civilisation built on a flood plain... what a shock. Lol
TrashPosterInTheDark
replied 2890d
Their constructions all dated between 15-8000 years from now.
replied 2889d
Thanks for making my point for me.
TrashPosterInTheDark
replied 2889d
What point? This is their CONSTRUCTION date, not their destruction date you twat.
replied 2889d
Destruction dates were not nearly as close as you think.
TrashPosterInTheDark
replied 2889d
They are certainly AFTER their constructions, what da ya think?
replied 2889d
Yes... and that is relevant how?
TrashPosterInTheDark
replied 2889d
To determine the timeframe they would have been destroyed.
replied 2889d
Yes, and they are too far apart to be related to a global catastrophy. We know that civilisation is about 12000 years old, as that is when the climate stabilised enough for crops.
TrashPosterInTheDark
replied 2889d
They also have been destroyed pretty much the same way.
replied 2889d
That is false.
TrashPosterInTheDark
replied 2888d
This is absolutely true. Look up the rocks conditions. The erosion and oxydation patterns, the way they are dispelled on the ground. All identical.
replied 2888d
No doubt those flooding events killed lots of people, and left an impression in stories, and legends. Civilisation came later though.
replied 2888d
The only flooding that happened very suddenly on large, but still not global scales, was the flooding due to the melting of glaciers at the end of the ice age.
TrashPosterInTheDark
replied 2888d
Metling of glaciers don't utterly destroy huge blocks constructions.
replied 2888d
It does when much of that melt is the size of a large lake, small sea, and suddenly bursts from an ice wall dam. That happened a lot around the ice sheets.
TrashPosterInTheDark
replied 2889d
A global catastrophy is the only theory that makes sense. Otherwise that civilization would have somehow survived or at least would have preserve more about their culture.
replied 2889d
It wasn't global if other civilisation saw no problems at those times. It is found in places around the world, sure, but not found everywhere.
TrashPosterInTheDark
replied 2888d
They are litterally found everywhere in every continent.
replied 2888d
Signs of disasters you mean? Various disasters have happened in lots of places. Not everywhere though. Not all at once. Various different disasters at different times, yes.
TrashPosterInTheDark
replied 2888d
No, I mean megaliths are found everywhere in the world.

Which means there is nothing special about them.

Except the tools to cut them without leaving trace of such tools.
replied 2886d
Nothing advanced about that at all.
TrashPosterInTheDark
replied 2886d
Yeah that's so retarded nobody have any clue how they did it and nobody managed to do it neither in later on civilization. Good job Mr. Dissmissal.
replied 2886d
Many proposed methods, but we dont know which they used. It doesmt really matter.
TrashPosterInTheDark

Such as? Which tool exactly that doesn't leave any marks?
replied 2886d
Most of them when used properly. Not to mention whatever Mark's are easily weathered away.
TrashPosterInTheDark
replied 2885d
A lot of blocks haven't suffered weathering because they was burried.
TrashPosterInTheDark
replied 2885d
This is utterly false. No cuitting tool on earth doesn't leave any marks.
replied 2885d
If we are just talking easily visible Mark's then you are wrong. I do it all the time.
TrashPosterInTheDark
replied 2885d
No, we are talking microscopically.
TrashPosterInTheDark
replied 2888d
Maybe, but there is nothing to back this up in that time frame.
replied 2888d
There is no evidence to back a global disaster. There is lots of evidence of various disasters around the world though.
TrashPosterInTheDark
replied 2886d
Having different events destroying everything access the globe in such a time frame is statistically unlikely.
replied 2886d
It is actually statistically likely. The time frame is pretty broad.
TrashPosterInTheDark
replied 2886d
Something around 4000 years is broad?
replied 2886d
Yes it is.
TrashPosterInTheDark
replied 2886d
So statistically we should have been utterly destroyed since sumer? Are we living in a time frame where we are beating odds?
replied 2886d
We see disasters happen all the time. There is zero evidence of a global disaster. Just many different unrelated disasters, spread over a long time frame.
TrashPosterInTheDark
replied 2886d
Megaliths are one big evidence rubbing itself on your face.
replied 2886d
Evidence of what? Evidence that old structures existed? No one disputes that.
TrashPosterInTheDark
replied 2885d
Evidence that something ponctual happened all at once. Even all ancien civilisation are saying that about themself. All of them.
replied 2885d
Lots of old civilizations had disasters. That is not evidence for a global disaster. There is no evidence for any global disaster. At least outside of mass extinctions events.
TrashPosterInTheDark
replied 2885d
Megaliths prove you wrong.
replied 2885d
No, they dont. They didnt all have disasters at the same time.
TrashPosterInTheDark
replied 2885d
Are you denying what all ancient civilizations said about themselves?
replied 2885d
When the sea wall bust that made the Mediterranean, and later the one that made the Black Sea, both created what seemed to be world level floods from their perspectives.
TrashPosterInTheDark
replied 2884d
And Mayans somehow had the same perspective too?
replied 2884d
They didnt have that problem. Most deaths and civilisation collapse in the Americas was from disease spread by early exorers.
TrashPosterInTheDark
replied 2884d
No but they still did say the civilization was destroyed by a global flood somewhere around the dawn of Sumer which is in their calander. Interesting coincidence don't you think?
replied 2884d
Not really. Lots of old civilizations talk about past disasters. The evidence doesn't back the idea though.
replied 2884d
The truth is humanity is very old and civilizations come and go because the Earth changes and habitable places do too so people forget where they once were. Simple.
replied 2884d
Yes, and no. Sure humanity is old, but we never saw big civilizations until farming crops became possible about 12000years ago.
replied 2884d
This is incorrect. The pyramids in South America are over 20000 years old. They're so old their bases are covered in forests. The vast majority of technology has been here before.
replied 2884d
I think you likely added a zero to that.
replied 2876d
Nope. 20 THOUSAND with a T, years old. The history you were taught was a self-serving history formulated by Europeans so they could steal the 'new world'. It was only new to them.
replied 2876d
I understand human migration, and no history is not lies taught by Europeans. Obviously there was people here long before European settlers, it not large civilizations that old.

I am well aware that there was migration to the Americas before the land bridge migration. This link doesnt claim there were massive cities 20000 years ago though.

It shows you that there were people here tens of thousands of years ago and that they were negros. Which is completely contradictory to mainstream history. There's more links google em
replied 2875d
Interesting change of topic. Yes I know there is evidence of African, and Australian aboriginal migration to South America. You confuse grade school history with mainstream history.
replied 2875d
Doesn't matter what you call it really. The official story line of transatlantic slave trade etc. is a lie. It was created to support European colonialism Not sure how thats mainstream

That is not mainstream. That is wrong. Slavery did happen. There was a slave trade.

No evidences beside magaliths destroyed all across the globe, massive amount of organic squish burried under the ground, acient folklor litterally saying so etc etc?
replied 2884d
Yeah, that evidence does not back your absurd idea of a global flood. Beside the fact there isn't enough water for such a thing.
TrashPosterInTheDark
replied 2884d
Beside, what else could actually utterly destroy the biggest stone structures ever built?
replied 2884d
If they were destroyed they wouldnt be there for you to point to. That said local disasters are enough.
TrashPosterInTheDark

Are you for real? All these is left is small remainings.

Yet you extrapolate so much about them.
TrashPosterInTheDark
replied 2882d
I don't. You do.
TrashPosterInTheDark
replied 2884d
The Earth is covered by 70%. That's plenty of water.
replied 2884d
It is not nearly enough to drown the planet. Those who believe the flood myth dont seem to understand volume. That is okay for the bronze age the ideas came from, but not modern times.
TrashPosterInTheDark
replied 2883d
According to? Your paradigms?
replied 2883d
According to basic math. Adding that volume of water would require too much water to be added, and it would have had nowhere to go to disappear.

Go on show me your math. Can't wait to have a good laugh.
replied 2882d
This series might help you. It is done by an actual scientist.
TrashPosterInTheDark

But now I get it. You brush off evidences because you are afraid it might shackles your dogmatic paradigm. You just exposed your yourself with such video 😂
TrashPosterInTheDark
replied 2882d
Beside this video is 100% off topic. Where arent talking about evolution whatsoever. You are making it a dogmatic case. I don't.
TrashPosterInTheDark
replied 2882d
Dogmatic people doest not worth arguing with. They only care about proving their dogmas rather than finding the truth, no matter what it is.
replied 2882d
Yes, and you are the dogmatic person in this conversation. You believe religious dogma over facts.
TrashPosterInTheDark
replied 2882d
Sure sure projecting much? I talk about megaliths, you talk about creation vs evolution like if it was slightly related.
replied 2882d
I want talking about evolution. I was talking about religious flood myths. You seem to think large old structures prove your flood myth. That series help dispel such funny ideas.
TrashPosterInTheDark
replied 2878d
So basically you have flood myths all across the globe from all the older civilizations. You also have large structures (the largest ever built) utterly destroyed. 1 + 1 = 2
replied 2878d
Not all destroyed, and not by flooding. You see lots of similar myths from old civilizations. Doesnt mean those things actually happened. Especially with the differences in the myths.
TrashPosterInTheDark
replied 2878d
And the difference in the myths relies with details. Exactly what one would expect to see if different cultures would talk about the same event but from their very own perspective.
replied 2878d
With the events not happening at the same time everywhere. How does a global event not happen at the same time?
TrashPosterInTheDark
replied 2878d
Well that's the thing, they talk about the same event otherwise they wouldn't share the same myth.
replied 2878d
So if I saw I saw a flood on the flood plains at 6000 years ago, and someone else saw a flood 5000 years ago in India, you conclude they were the same flood, and happened globally?
TrashPosterInTheDark
replied 2875d
No but the odds of such thing are quite slim.
replied 2875d
Well you are currently doing just that.
TrashPosterInTheDark
replied 2874d
Otherwise how can humanity completely lose their construction techniques that was globally known and spread?
replied 2874d
We didnt lose anything. We have far better techniques now. It is like the myth that Roman's made better concrete. Just because we we often cheap out doesnt mean we cant.
TrashPosterInTheDark
replied 2874d
I meant that the odds of such multiple desctructive events happening is such a short time frame are slimmer than a bigger happning just once.
replied 2874d
We have seen such events over a far short time span, I think you are wrong. Natural disasters happen. Especially since the disasters those places had were common to their area.
TrashPosterInTheDark
replied 2878d
Not flooding? Then how? And how complete sites managed to be buried in the ground?
replied 2878d
Not all of them were buried. You would think there would be a massively disturbed global sediment layer around the world if there was a global flood. There is no such layer though.
TrashPosterInTheDark
replied 2878d
I think the ones near the "event" were burried while the ones further or those protected by mountains have simply been destroyed except for the pyramids because of their shape.
replied 2878d
There is no further off, and closer, if the flood was global.it should have happened everywhere is Everest was below water. So it should be all, or not.
TrashPosterInTheDark
replied 2875d
Obviously it was global to some extent. AFIC there were survivors.
replied 2875d
What do you mean by "global to some extent?" Are you claiming it was a global shallow flood that only hurt coasts? Are you saying it was only certain continents?
TrashPosterInTheDark
replied 2874d
I just mean that damages was probably not equal everywhere depending on how far you were from what triggered the water movement and the geographic landscape.
replied 2874d
Nothing could trigger something like that. It would take magic. Physics wouldnt allow the continents to sink below the ocean or for water to flow up onto land out of the oceans.
TrashPosterInTheDark
replied 2874d
Meaning that the coasts were probably the most affected and what would have standed behind mountains would have suffered less damages.
replied 2874d
The sediment movement something that ridiculous would have caused would have been very noticable. It would be impossible to cover up. There is no evidence to support such a wild idea.
replied 2878d
Their shape offers no protection, except against gravity.
TrashPosterInTheDark
replied 2875d
It absolutely offers protection. Water pressure on pyramidal shape would be inferior than applied on a perpandicular wall.
replied 2875d
As I said, from gravity. Which is irrelevant. The world was not suddenly crushed uned a new ocean. Oh wait, you are going to claim that coal and oil appeared suddenly during the flood.
TrashPosterInTheDark
replied 2874d
No I'm saying that water somehow moved accross lands coming from the oceans. The water movement was horizontal, not vertical.
replied 2874d
That is an even worse idea. You are saying water decided to flow up hill out of the oceans then. God did it is the only way to explain such nonsense.
TrashPosterInTheDark
replied 2882d
Real scientist don't laugh at people. They make arguments.

TrashPosterInTheDark
replied 2882d
I'm not gonna watch any dumb video. Show me your maths.
replied 2882d
5.1×10^8 Km^2 * 8.848 km = 4.5*10^9km^3 of added water volume to the Earth. Where did it go after the flood?
replied 2882d
5.1×10^8 Km^2 * 8.848 km = 5.7km^3 of added water volume to the Earth. Where did it go after the flood?
TrashPosterInTheDark
replied 2882d
This can easily be explained by a change of the earth's suface geometry (mountains height and oceans depth).A rapid change could have simply trigger mass of water to move across lands
replied 2882d
How could that rapid change happen? Chemical differentiation happened long ago. Granite plates float of the mantel higher than basaltic plates. They dont suddenly sink into the mantle.
TrashPosterInTheDark
replied 2878d
Keep digging.
replied 2878d
Oh, I have thoroughly refuted your ideas. The idea that the surface of the Earth disobeyed physics to cause the flood is absurd.
TrashPosterInTheDark
replied 2882d
A huge meteorite hitting the ocean could have made similar damages at similar scale. In both scenarios no changes of water volumes are required.
replied 2882d
Nope, that is false. It would not have caused a flood. We do know what that causes, and know when those event happened. Long before there were humans.
TrashPosterInTheDark
replied 2878d
Sure. A meteorite hitting water won't move water. Logic isn't your strength isn't it?
replied 2878d
Move water, sure. Cause a tsunami, sure. Cause a global flood, no. Especially not one that puts Everest under water. There isn't enough water on Earth for that.
TrashPosterInTheDark
replied 2878d
Somehow Mt. Everest is filled with fossilized marine shells.
replied 2878d
As it should be since that land was below the ocean when the Indian plate crashed into the Asian plate. This was far back, like the timeframes it takes for things to fossilize.
TrashPosterInTheDark

BTW the ancient stories are pretty much the same if you dare to look at them.

All we can do is date the cuts of the blocks and they all belong to a civilization older than sumer. Somehow sumer is the oldest civilization according to official history books.

They are not the oldest exactly. Just one of the older ones we know more about because of how much of their writings survived. We think human civilisation started about 12000 years ago
