CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Clinic offering abortions beyond viability for 'any reason' is 'disappointing, but not surprising': pro-lifers
This is precisely why overturning Roe vs Wade was a very bad idea. Both maternal and abortion deaths have risen substantially. But no one is talking about this. Are they?Former staffers at abortionist Warren Hern’s shuttered Boulder Abortion Clinic, which was renowned for performing third-trimester abortions, have launched a new facility that will perform abortions beyond the point of viability, for “any reason.”
RISE Collective, which stands for "Reproductive Health, Inclusive Care, Support and Empowerment," released a promotional video earlier this month, announcing that the clinic has started seeing clients and scheduling late-term abortions.
“At RISE Collective, we believe that any reason you have for needing abortion care is yours, and it is the right one,” the video states. “In Colorado, there are no restrictions on when you can receive care. But while the law is clear, access is not.”

Former staffers at abortionist Warren Hern s shuttered Boulder Abortion Clinic, which was renowned for performing third-trimester abortions, have launched a new facility that will perform abortionswww.christianpost.com
The reversal of Roe v. Wade has created a fractured US, with some states like Colorado protecting abortion access, and others like Texas and Alabama enforcing near-total bans.
Contrary to the expected decline, the national number of abortions has soared by over 11% since 2020 (the latest comprehensive pre-Dobbs data), and the increase is closer to 20% in the two full years post-Dobbs, reaching the highest recorded level in over a decade! Meanwhile, in the states with bans, this has caused a public health crisis. Maternal and infant mortality rates are rising in states with bans, disproportionately affecting Black women.These laws are directly associated with a higher risk of death for mothers and infants and are causing dangerous delays in essential medical care for life-threatening pregnancy complications.
Lets us reason. There must be a better way.
Be blessed.

You've got me there, but saying 'modern' is an INCREDIBLY loaded phrase to use with engineering, especially when it comes to stone masonry.
The same guy you used in your last thread and again with no reason at all to accept what he says apart from him being an Egyptian. Yawn...
Well, considering that fact that you ignore basic history and also ignore any evidence presented to you, along with going off half-baked claims from others... yes, I doubt very much.
Funny how the skeptic gets upset when someone's skeptical about them...
You do that: you just claim that they're out of place. No evidence to back up what you say, no reason why they're out of place apart from your incredulity.
Lets break this down. First do you disagree or disagree that at least there are some out of place signatures. Or at least they look more like machine cuts than by hand saw. The images I linked. For example
Does this look more like a modern cut or one with a copper saw and abrasion.
Six of one, half a dozen of the other. All you're showing is a cut piece of stone, that's it.
Context matters. But since I've seen ancient stone cutting myself (ancient Greek not ancient Egyptian, but contemporary and thus no reason to assume they would be any different), and since I know how stone masonry works and developed (I like castles), I have no reason at all to accept anything you've claimed as factual or even evidence for your claim.

The government is downsizing.Virginia’s GDP growth drops from 6.2% to 1.7%. Three new economic reports issue warnings about why and what comes next.
The reports also suggest the state may be losing high-wage jobs but gaining lower-wage jobs.

Three new economic reports that came out last week suggest that Virginia’s next governor is going to have to spend a lot of her time dealing with a sluggish economy.
The state’s two largest metro areas — read: Northern Virginia and Hampton Roads, the state’s largest economic engines — are now losing jobs.
Virginia’s economic growth is now among the lowest in the country and is projected to remain slow through at least the first two years of the next governor’s term.
Unemployment is rising statewide and is projected to keep rising in 2026.
The three reports come from the Brookings Institution, Old Dominion University’s Dragas Center for Economic Analysis and Policy and the University of Virginia’s Weldon Cooper Center for Public Service. All three cite the same thing for this sour economic outlook — President Donald Trump’s policies, which have reduced federal employment and increased tariffs, both of which have hit Virginia uniquely hard because many of Virginia’s jobs have been tied to the federal government and beyond that the state has a trade-based economy
VA will lose lots of jobs (MD too)

So what word do you suggest that will capture that these witness marks are like some sort of machining. But not necessarily modern like machines.
well the most well known is Yousef Awyan. Born and raised and still lived only a few hundred meters from the Sphinx. A stone mason by trade who makes pretty good vases in the traditional ways. But uses an angle grinder lol. His father Abd’El Hakim Awyan,is a well know Egyptologist and keeper of Egyptian heritage.
Yousef shakes his head in amazement at how the ancients could have achieved these works. But he also defends that the Egyptians did have advanced knowledge we don't understand. All Egyptians do. All ancient cultures believe their ancestors held great knowledge that was lost. Why deny them.
Excuse the host of the video but he doesn't get involved. This is a good intro to Yousef and his family business at the foot of the pyramids working as stone masons for generations now. He shows his workshop and touches on stone methods. If anyone knows stone masonary and Egyptian hertiage its Yousef and his family.
Meeting Yousef Awyan & Family in the Khemit Shop at Giza ...
You very much doubt I have. And what evidenece do you have for this. Just more opinion lol.
What do you mean just claiming they are out of place without evidence. The out of place examples are the evidence lol.
Lets break this down. First do you disagree or disagree that at least there are some out of place signatures. Or at least they look more like machine cuts than by hand saw. The images I linked. For example
Does this look more like a modern cut or one with a copper saw and abrasion. How would they create the arc and fine lip of the cut. The arc lip is thinner than a copper saw blade let alone the abrasion and grinding which would not create a fine and sharp lip.
Did Ancient Egyptians Actually Use Giant Saws??
