I've been looking into it more as of late, the last few months (I haven't really thought about Egypt, or any form of archaeology since I was 9, I actually wanted to be an archaeologist..)
I've watched pretty much all of the current debates on the topic, including Dibble, Jimmy, Randall, etc.. read Christopher Dunns books, argued with 'Professor Dave (What a sneering cock that bloke is)
And the conclusion?
You're right!
Something stinks in the archeology world, something quite eye opening
How you can even move stones of such size (As a basic), is mind bending, and that's before you get to certain intricacies of stone work, height, age, wear, astral knowledge
The list goes on and on and the rabbit hole goes deeper and deeper..
I honestly can't stand people like Professor Dave, Dibble and various other fart sniffers that come across as all knowing whilst being utterly vile to folks like Hancock just for putting ideas across.
And what the hell is Zahi all about??
It's utterly bonkers when you start delving into it all
The thing that sealed the deal for me was when I walked around The Serapeum at Saqqara personally. I put my fists on the solid containers, felt their immense size and weight through my arms. And then realised they are enslosed entirely and lowered into small holes, with absolutely no room whatsoever to be manouvered in or out.
Even to move one today it would take 100+ men using ropes (all they had in those days) and how the hell can you get that many people into that small space? it would be impossible. The whole place defies logic entirely. The tour guide himself even said that the writings and carvings found on these boxes is different, indicating that some of them had writing done precisely which is much older, the point of creation most likely, and that the writing we see everywhere else on the others is far more crude, which indicates imitation with primitive tools. He even said himself that he thinks the egyptians just discovered a much older site and made it their own, decorated it per se. The egyptians repurposed what they found as containers for bull corpses, a scared animal to them, but hteir original use is unknown. To me, they must have housed something extremely dangerous or volatile, there is no other reason I could think that they made those cases so fucking thick and heavy. Whatever was inside, they did not want it getting out.
Just look at these fucking things. This is one that isn't lowered into the tightest space you've ever seen.
The whole place gave me the creeps.

When you start digging into a lot of disciplines you find much of the same thing, there is some bureaucracy at the top at elite institutions that promote a narrative and it's essentially impossible to break into the field unless you buy in and support this narrative. They call this narrative "the science." Revisionism is a dirty word.I've been looking into it more as of late, the last few months (I haven't really thought about Egypt, or any form of archaeology since I was 9, I actually wanted to be an archaeologist..)

Does this mean I agree with Graham Hancock or think he is some sort of brilliant genius, no not really, although I am only familiar with him through the Netflix show and I find some aspects compelling but at least admire his attempt to explain stuff that nobody has really explained convincingly. The entire field of archaelogy has only been systematic and rigorous for like... maybe 200 years. The idea that they have correctly synthesized all known information into the proper narrative and this is the only way to think about the past in the absence of new information is just... ridiculous.
There's currently a huge debate about tunnels under the pyramids:
Experts clash over claims of underground city beneath Egypt pyramids
A heated debate has erupted among Egyptologists after researchers claimed to have found an “underground city” beneath the Pyramids of Giza. Is the discovery, based on radar images, groundbreaking or exaggerated?

There's so much more to this
I need to go to Egypt!

I've got photos of me as a child in the early 1990s in Egypt. I've been inside some of the pyramids and seen the great pyramids of Giza, tombs, hieroglyphs etc.A camel also nearly killed my grandmother trying to throw her off during a ride.

I bet that was good to see! I really do want to go, it looks as if it's a nightmare now though, so many touts etc, constantly on you!
Yeah they can be right evil bastards, I saw it in Turkey, they dont mess around once they get going. Glad she was okay thoughA camel also nearly killed my grandmother trying to throw her off during a ride.
NoDid you think giraffes walk like a crab?
but every one of them I've seen just moves like a sloth, all long and slow, eating, not doing much, being tall AF..
And their legs are so damn long! Hell, I nearly fall over kicking forward..
Maybe I just need more Zoo visits

What time is it?
$61 new on EBay.
I caught RSV in January. When I got home from Texas, I developed a lung infection early February, so I went to the doctor for antibiotics. Upon getting on aa scale, I was 12 pounds heavier than I expected. I decided to start a diet and for the first time in my life bought a scale in March. I do think my doctor's scale was a bit off because I when I was back to my expected weight. I decided to stick with the diet and I've dropped 21 pounds since then. I'm going to shoot for another 14 pounds which would put me in spitting distance of my high school weight some 30 years later. My new insurance plan gives daily bonuses (up to 1,000 a year in my HSA) for getting 5,000 steps in and for monitored sleep. My iPhone can do the steps but I don't have an Apple Watch and I'm not super trusting of the step counter on the iPhone not to mention that I don't always carry it. I've never worn a watch and have never cared to wear jewelry. The nice thing about the Inspire 3 is that it can be worn in a clip though that wouldn't help with monitor sleep.

Bought some more 3d printing stuff and oil change for my car. making the sentinel-matrix, bought gun metal abs from atomic filaments since it matches color somewhat, and ruby petg translucent for the eyes which I can make frost and polish up. Looks like they fixed jthe image upload feature, thanks! Yea I bought a bunch of stuff for this "project", and I have so many but I need to finish this. ONE tentacle is 43 prints of the same model. Printing the hollow version which allows for lighting. After this I will save up for full size top half of adult trex skull, something like 20+ rolls of filament. Bone natural filament can be expensive....
If I wanna print this right I need to go extra slow and very high temps and maybe with .2mm nozzle but thats 2+ days for one side. Need a power backup for that. Which is likely my next purchase, ugh this shit never ends. Living in literal Westfall of Azeroth, power comes and goes.

Hatchbox makes some really nice metallic looking PLA if you don't want to worry about temps and fumes printing with ABS.Bought some more 3d printing stuff and oil change for my car. making the sentinel-matrix, bought gun metal abs from atomic filaments since it matches color somewhat, and ruby petg translucent for the eyes which I can make frost and polish up.

Also, if you end up printing the PETG and don't like how the translucency looks, send me a PM and I'll print the ruby red stuff using resin for you.

I've always liked the sound of Orange amps, something about them, and now I own one. One of the more low end ones granted but it's really flexible and sounds good. Maybe one day I'll get one of the top end ones.

Have had one for a long time. I use a walking pad with it. I get 20-40k steps a day on it. Has made cutting easy.
As far as recent purchases. Legendary chips from protein section at Walmart. Pretty good and filling for 150 calories and 20g of protein.

I went shopping today after Iga Swiatek's glorious 6-0, 6-0 smackdown at Wimbledon. Walked out of Goodwill 35 bucks lighter with this stack of 23 blu rays.
I'll watch Red Dawn first. I still miss my man Swayze, *sniff*
