He would if there was any evidence for them.
What evidence does a Christian who believes in God use. Or a scientists who supports the idea of consciousness beyond brain.
Why not, if there was evidence for them?
Because the evidence your talking about (empiricle and naturalistic) or material in nature. Is impossible to use to prove ideas like God or other immaterial beliefs. If it was verifiable by science then it would no longer be immaterial or supernatural. Or imatterially based such as consciousness beyond brain.

Science will relegate consciousness as a physical epiphenomena caused by the physical brain. So how can it possibly even entertain possibilities that are based on immaterial causes that have no physical processes to measure. Or who interpret even miracles as some physical explanation that cannot be explained. Still physical in nature.
Sure, but those are all religious positions. The methodological materialism of science is as indifferent to them as it is to theism.
Ok so how can it be used if its completely indifferent. It would be like using physics to explain the experience of beauty and love.
Perhaps so, but nobody here is doing that. Mostly what we are doing is pointing out to you how lame your argument is. We don't need to deny "immaterial possibilities" iin order to do that, even if we knew what you thought they were.
You just agreed that "When someone uses material science to refute immaterial possibilities they are imposing a metaphysical belief and not science".

So if this is the case when you dismiss ancient or indigenous knowledge as unreal or make believe this is using material science to impose a material metaphysics on those who believe in a immaterial metaphysics as the basis for reality.

This automatically discounts and dismisses all explainations such as knowledge from belief, spirituality, conscious experiences of nature and reality as unreal and make believe.

This is not science but belief. This is imposing one metaphysical belief over another epistemically and ontologically ie the only true and real reality is a material one and the only way we can know reality is by material sciences or methological naturalism.
Who knows? It's still kind of murky what it is you are trying to prove. The "immaterial worldviews of fundamental reality???" What does that even mean?
Its only murky if you want to restrict everything to the material and naturalistic worldview. Of course it will be because anything that cannot be measured in material terms will be unknown and unexplained.

But thats not because its unreal or does not exist. Only that the wrong method or paradigm is being used to understand this. Its like trying to use biology to understand psychology of the mind. Even worse, like using math to work out whether love is real.

Then what is it about???
Well for one when the OP says theres giant flaw in the mainstream narrative of human history. This relates more to philosophy than science overall. Though it can include science as a method within the philosophy of epistemic and metaphysics compared to other ways to see human history and knowledge.

But it certainly is not a cold, hard factual thread of just objective science but also of philsophy of science. Otherwise all it would be doing in doubling down on the idea that it is the material science that is partly to blame for creating the flaw in the narrative by pushing this worldview over all else in this thread. It becomes another situation dominated by one methodology and epistemics in how we should see the world.
Which is determined by examining the things they made and the things they wrote.
Partly. Like I said you could look at the things they made and if the ancients did use say chemistry and messing around with the physics of material nature. If the ancients knowledge came from their belief and experiences how would you prove this.

We could perhaps prove the out of place signature is real and was caused by some sort of machining. We could prove the ancients purposely designed the pyramids to generate some sort of energy they used.

But you will not ever believe that this was the result of some transcedent knowledge.

So it is better to prove that there is transcedent knoewledge before trying to show in in specific examples that your never going to believe and will always want a material and scientific explanation for.
What in the Local Group is this? Your OP was about whether there were settled civilizations earlier than claimed in the "mainstream narratives". What about the this whatever it is had a thing to do with if we can find permanent settlements?

(Feel free to not try, as there is none.)
I can't even understand what you wrote. Whats the local group. What does "What about the this whatever it is had a thing to do with if we can find permanent settlements?" even mean.

The OP is not just about "whether there were settled civilizations earlier than claimed in the mainstream narratives". Its about why and how this is the case. Its about the out of place works which show a level of knowledge that the mainstream cannot account for. Its about how the orthodoxy is promoted over alternative explanations and why.

Which is all about philosophy, epistemics and metaphysics. Really its more about the clash of worldviews as to which narrative should be told about human history.
I prefer Euclidean geometry in a spherical coordinate system, but the natural geometry is a bendy spacetime. (Lousy nature.)
There it is the belief poopping out again. This is a beliefs, a metaphysical belief. When you call ancient knowledge lousy this is a belief and not science.
Clearly I am not in charge of of the natural geometry of reality. Sigh. Not sure what this would have to do with ancient civilizations. It was only "discovered/invented" in the 19th century by Riemann and ID'd with reality in the early 20th.
Ah then you have not done your research. Its been around for millenia. In fact natural or sacred geometry, astronomy, and tracking other natural phenomena in nature was the form of communication that played the role or what we would use language and writing or mathmatics today.

It was symbolic and rather than just a 2D equation on paper they actually embodies the maths, and astronomy into their reality. Just as nature does.

We can even see this at Gobekli Tepe and the symbolism and geometry reflecting nature used 11,000 years ago.

How can you not get this. I've said it about a dozen times now. Nothing in this thread is a conspiracy. No one is calling anything that you have posted "conspiracy". You keep bringing "conspiracy" up as if the rest of us are accusing you or your principle source of "conspiracy thinking". We have not.

On the other hand, we have definitely called you and them out for pseudoscience. There is pseudoscience (some of it veiled) all over this thread. (And on a similar note, very little of what you bring up could be called "woo woo", but this recent discussion of "alternative knowledge" is getting close. I know how you like to accuse me of demeaning your content as "woo woo".)
Hum, then I am getting mixed messages. It seems just about every link the authors were made out as quacks. For example a couple of academics linked to Karoly (who was also labelled a quack) were said to be amateurs and did not know what they were talking about.

Christ King a 50 year veteran in engineering and precision tooling was made out to be a simple bike maker who did not know anything about machining. Dunn's idea of the pyramid having some ability to generate energy into pseudoscience.

Even Petrie was turned into outdated opinion.

If every person and article is tarred as being some sort of pseudoscience then thats more or less making the thread into being all pseudoscience. Or at least fixating on the credibility of the sources rather than the content and whether its supported by evidence or good arguements.

By fixating so much on the credibility of sources its taken time and energy away from the actuial content. In fact its prevented this thread from looking at the content they actually are supporting.

Interesting characterization, can you show what was actually written about them?

Who has shown that the pyramids have generated any energy? Without positive corroboration this just conjecture.

It seems we need to have a talk about conspiracy.

A conspiracy is a coordinated plan to keep an action or knowledge from the public for a nefarious purpose. A conspiracy theory is the assignation of conspiracy to explain some event or condition.
I am not just meaning conspiracy. I am meaning the promotion of any misleading or misrepresentation of something. Using fallacies to misrepresent the facts or truths creates a false narrative like a conspiracy.
Believing that the ancients had lost advanced technology -- is not a conspiracy (or conspiracy theory).
Hum then the language doesn't match. Language has been used that dismisses even the idea of ancient advanced knowledge full stop. This is done by explaining away that knowledge using the orthodox narrative as the go to explanation for everything without any evidence. Then accusing those who suggest alternative ideas as not having any evidence. Double standards. Part of forcing the orthodoxy.
Believing the ancients had lost technology from a lost civilization -- is not a conspiracy.
Believing the ancients had assistance from extraterrestrials -- is not a conspiracy.
What. I am pretty sure I can find direct contradictions to this in this thread. If I had suggested that the ancients gained their knowledge from extraterrestrials I would be piled on lol. There would be cries 'see we told you this is all quackery' lol.
These are beliefs, they are not conspiracy. The various ideas expressed by the non-professional Egyptology people (from Dunn to Karoly) are not conspiracies, no matter how kooky or implausible.
:scratch: Now I am really confused lol. So believing the ancients maybe messed around with nature, physics, chemistry, astronomy and had real effects is ok a position to hold. Or maybe if a culture gained this knowledge they passed it on and we should believe the ancients when they say that their ancestors had advanced knowledge.

This is all ok. Is that what your saying. That its a legitimate belief and position to take that may be based on the truth.
Believing that 9/11 was an inside job -- *IS* a conspiracy theory.
Huh, why. What if it was an inside job. Like I said usually when there is some questioning its based on some truth. This is usually some inconsistencies in what happened. Its not a complete baseless idea. As opposed to say the many other events that don't get questioned because there is nothing suspicious.

I am not saying that 9/11 was an inside job. But the idea that questioning whether something was an inside job is not a conspiracy itself.
Believing the CIA and the Mafia killed JFK -- *IS* a conspiracy theory.
Once again there is usually some basis. It may have been nothing to do with the marfia actually killing Kennedy. But it may be that the Marfia was associated with Kennedy and that fueled the speculation. Its never based on nothing and made out of thin air. Otherwise the conspirators have nothing to use as the reason.

Plus I think a fair number of what were considered conspiracies actually were proven true. So saying this situation or that situation is a conspiracy is unjustified as we don't know. Because the unlikely has been shown to be fact before then any conspiracy may be proven fact. We don't know the deep State and all the hidden stuff that power has kept from everyone.

Look at Epstein which is starting to come out now. People have no idea of what was going on behind closed doors. But usually where theres smoke theres fire.
Believing the USAAF found and covered up an alien space craft in July 1947 is a conspiracy theory.
What about now. Up to 30 top officials with top level clearence testifying under oath in congress. Soon more will come out. How many people need to testify before its believed.

What about all the sightings. Sure some were human made drones. But many unexplained. Direct images and video from military hardware. From individuals phones and cameras all over the world. Was this just mass hallucinations.
Believing that Dr. Faucci worked with the Chinese to create COVID-19 in the lab is a conspiracy theory.
As mentioned these conspiracies are usually based on grains of truth. It may not have been that Dr. Faucci helped the Chinese to create Covid. But his department were involved in funding the Wuhan Institute of Virology who were working on the Covid virus. Two of the papers from that lab spoke about working on the virus and how this could create new unnatural mutations of the virus.

So its not based on nothing and there is even some questions still unanswered. Just like ancient legends are based on some truth of an event happening that has been elaborated on. So we should not be dismissing people who ask these questions. But encourage this as this will help find the truth.
There is no need to invoke "conspiracy" in this thread, so you can stop.
I am not the one evoking conspiracies. Any time I have mentioned this has been in response to someone making it about conspiracies or pseudoscience and I have to defend the sources. Have to explain its not actually a conspiracy or pseudoscience.

The fact we are arguing over whether this is the case or not is the evidence that the thread has been turned that way lol. And it was not me who did this.

Is this, finally, your admission that your claims of conspiracy are based upon the fact that you did not understand the meaning of conspiracy? If so, it is one small step towards your development of critical thinking.

Aside: it is considered to polite to reply to personal messages, even if it is only to decline an offer of help. Perhaps courtesy is another word you are not familiar with.

OK so I did a quick word search for 'amateur' and this is what it found. I won't give the post number.

The comment on the researchers who were part of developing the software for Karolys vase scan project

my comment of your exalted individuals being part time amateurs in metrology coding

In regards to Christ Smith

"he is rank amateur when it comes to explaining striations on ancient Egyptian objects".

There were more. The word 'amateur' alone has been mentioned 27 times by others and not me. Thats not counting other similar words that discredit the researchers. May well be over a 100 or more references to demeaning the sources. Add in words like psuedoscience, grifters, conspiracy, Atlantis, fantacy ect for describing the sources and it starts to pile up.

First we have the theorectical modelling. Which is the preliminary science supporting such a hypothesis. So theorectically tests should support the modelling. All that needs to be done is to physically test it in the pyramid.

But that is partly done already with tests that on acoustics which show sound is focused into the chambers and magnifies. Plus tests have shown the chambers were subject to stress and heat.

We also have evidence of a furnace, chemical smells and tested chemical residue leaking from the stones of the chambers.

There are other bits of evidence such as the many deep shafts around the pyramid and what looks like a drainage system but not necessarily all for water. Evidence of copper piping and also electrodes. We also have possible written evidence on reliefs.

I understood the meaning of conspiracy.

Using the idea that the alternative or advanced knowledge claim is a conspiracy to deny any truth that there is alternative and advanced knowledge is just one way to undermine peoples claims about advanced knowledge.

I am saying there have been several ways or tactics applied to undermine the sources besides trying to make out that what is being said is about conspiracies.

Besides someone literally said that X source has Hancock conspiracies all over it. Therefore the implication by associated is that it is also conspiracy lol.

I think its the other way around. I understand the difference. I don't think you understand how all these logical fallacies are being made about whats presented which are being turned into the equivalent of conspiracies, or pseudoscience or whatever other discrediting word or language is used.

I just showed one word 'amateur' as an example. The language doesn't lie and reveals what is actually happening lol.

Aside: it is considered to polite to reply to personal messages,
What personal messages lol. If the person behind the sources credibility is attacked without any evidence is that fair. I am merely point out that if a persons credibility is attacked then this brings in the credibility of everyone. Its a silly way to go about establishing the truth of the content,
even if it is only to decline an offer of help. Perhaps courtesy is another word you are not familiar with.
I don't know what your talking about lol. I have recieved no help, and I am just trying to defend those whom I linked from what I think is unjustified attacks on their credibility.

I looked at Marian Marcis (his was the only name I remembered) academic output, how much metrology coding have he done recently? Or ever?

If you give me the names of the ones I can check that too.
In regards to Christ Smith

"he is rank amateur when it comes to explaining striations on ancient Egyptian objects".
Being good at making bearings (as a cyclist I know who he is) don't automatically give you insights into ancient egyptian techniques.
There were more. The word 'amateur' alone has been mentioned 27 times by others and not me. Thats not counting other similar words that discredit the researchers.

First we have the theorectical modelling. Which is the preliminary science supporting such a hypothesis. So theorectically tests should support the modelling. All that needs to be done is to physically test it in the pyramid.
No energy extraction was modelled. No mechanism for extracting the energy was hypothesized, the models did not include any granite stones.

So no, the simulation don't support that the pyramids were used for energy harvesting.
But that is partly done already with tests that on acoustics which show sound is focused into the chambers and magnifies. Plus tests have shown the chambers were subject to stress and heat.
So what energy did the acoustic investigation say was extracted?

You are doing it again, you give references that don't support the contention that any energy was extracted.
We also have evidence of a furnace, chemical smells and tested chemical residue leaking from the stones of the chambers.

There are other bits of evidence such as the many deep shafts around the pyramid and what looks like a drainage system but not necessarily all for water. Evidence of copper piping and also electrodes. We also have possible written evidence on reliefs.
So link the articles regarding energy extraction then, you're dancing around what you claimed.

Well for one when the OP says theres giant flaw in the mainstream narrative of human history. This relates more to philosophy than science overall.

Otherwise all it would be doing in doubling down on the idea that it is the material science that is partly to blame for creating the flaw in the narrative by pushing this worldview over all else in this thread. It becomes another situation dominated by one methodology and epistemics in how we should see the world.
Part of the problem seems to be that you don't understand that all of our tools for examining the past (archeology, paleontology, history) are naturalistic in the fundamental nature. If you want ancient mysticism go find a place about ancient spirituality. This (P&LS on CF) is not such a place. When you post here you implicitly put forth for the evaluation using these naturalistic tools.
Partly. Like I said you could look at the things they made and if the ancients did use say chemistry and messing around with the physics of material nature. If the ancients knowledge came from their belief and experiences how would you prove this.

We could perhaps prove the out of place signature is real and was caused by some sort of machining. We could prove the ancients purposely designed the pyramids to generate some sort of energy they used.
And every one of these has been reasonably challenged. They have been addressed under the naturalistic paradigm which is the frame that you have used to present them. (As they are discussed ad nauseam elsewhere, this is enough.)
But you will not ever believe that this was the result of some transcedent knowledge.

So it is better to prove that there is transcedent knoewledge before trying to show in in specific examples that your never going to believe and will always want a material and scientific explanation for.
You have invoked this repeatedly without justification. This is the wrong section to discuss such things and the "transcendental" (whatever that is, as it is poorly defined when ever I hear about it) isn't part of the material culture being examined.
I can't even understand what you wrote. Whats the local group. What does "What about the this whatever it is had a thing to do with if we can find permanent settlements?" even mean.

I should have put quotes in like this:

What about the "this whatever it is" had a thing to do with if we can find permanent settlements?

English has a funny (and fabulous) capability to create nouns out of groups of words that works in speech and is hard to write down unless you are very careful. (It is easier to do in the mother tongue with its crazy compound words.) I should have been more careful, but I couldn't make heads-nor-tails of your "this whatever it is" in the paragraph I was responding to. It really looked like some sort of spiritualist woo woo about the past.

As for "what in the Local Group?", I was so flabbergasted by what you had written such that "what on Earth?" was insufficient, even "what in the Galaxy?" wasn't enough to express my exasperated befuddlement, so I went to "what in the Local Group?" with several large galaxies and about a trillion stars.

The OP is not just about "whether there were settled civilizations earlier than claimed in the mainstream narratives". Its about why and how this is the case. Its about the out of place works which show a level of knowledge that the mainstream cannot account for. Its about how the orthodoxy is promoted over alternative explanations and why.

Which is all about philosophy, epistemics and metaphysics. Really its more about the clash of worldviews as to which narrative should be told about human history.
Oh, so maybe you have been presenting a low-key conspiracy theory about the "mainstream narrative" all along. This is part of my problem with the author of the video in the OP. He's doing the same.
There it is the belief poopping out again. This is a beliefs, a metaphysical belief. When you call ancient knowledge lousy this is a belief and not science.
Nope, I was only referring to the geometric aspect of nature and my disappointment that reality is a curved spacetime manifold. Unfortunately for me, I don't get to pick how Nature is, so GR it is. In that sentence I referenced GR tangentially, in the next one I was more explicit in a way that is obvious to those who aren't ignorant of the fundamental nature of the Universe.
Ah then you have not done your research. Its been around for millenia. In fact natural or sacred geometry, astronomy, and tracking other natural phenomena in nature was the form of communication that played the role or what we would use language and writing or mathmatics today.
No, I learned it in school. The bit you just responded to was entirely about GR -- the geometry behind nature.
It was symbolic and rather than just a 2D equation on paper they actually embodies the maths, and astronomy into their reality. Just as nature does.
Nature does lots of geometry starting with the Riemann geometry of spacetime. This, however, has nothing to do with ancient history, objects, or artifacts.
We can even see this at Gobekli Tepe and the symbolism and geometry reflecting nature used 11,000 years ago.
It's way to late in this thread to expand to Gobekli Tepe. Perhaps at the beginning it would have been, but this is the "Egypt thread" now. The problem with GT, though, is that we don't know what their symbology meant, so anything you would post would be speculative.

What evidence does a Christian who believes in God use.
None.
Or a scientists who supports the idea of consciousness beyond brain.
Can't help you there. I suppose you are talking about substance dualism, which is not a fundamental Christian doctrine and not one I have a particular opinion about. So far, the scientific evidence suggests monism will turn out to be sufficient explanation for "mind" but it is not, to me, an important question.
Because the evidence your talking about (empiricle and naturalistic) or material in nature. Is impossible to use to prove ideas like God or other immaterial beliefs. If it was verifiable by science then it would no longer be immaterial or supernatural. Or imatterially based such as consciousness beyond brain.

Science will relegate consciousness as a physical epiphenomena caused by the physical brain. So how can it possibly even entertain possibilities that are based on immaterial causes that have no physical processes to measure. Or who interpret even miracles as some physical explanation that cannot be explained. Still physical in nature.
Of course. Let me give you an example: The Bible tells us that God spoke to Moses out of a burning bush which was not consumed by the fire. The event is regarded as a miracle. Now science has discovered a plant in the region, Dictamnus Albus, which exudes a volatile oil which will sometimes spontaneously combust and burn off without harming the plant. Does that mean to you that science denies the miracle?
Ok so how can it be used if its completely indifferent. It would be like using physics to explain the experience of beauty and love.

You just agreed that "When someone uses material science to refute immaterial possibilities they are imposing a metaphysical belief and not science".
When someone tried to do that, they would be misusing material science. But since no one here is trying to do that you may be should find someone who is and argue with them. But you will have to develop some cogent arguments first.
So if this is the case when you dismiss ancient or indigenous knowledge as unreal or make believe this is using material science to impose a material metaphysics on those who believe in a immaterial metaphysics as the basis for reality.
I don't dismiss ancient or indigenous knowledge as unreal or make believe. In fact I have, we all have, shown a great deal more respect for it than you do.
This automatically discounts and dismisses all explainations such as knowledge from belief, spirituality, conscious experiences of nature and reality as unreal and make believe.
Nope.
This is not science but belief. This is imposing one metaphysical belief over another epistemically and ontologically ie the only true and real reality is a material one and the only way we can know reality is by material sciences or methological naturalism.
Nope. What you are talking about is metaphysical materialism which is a religious opinion, not a scientific one.
Its only murky if you want to restrict everything to the material and naturalistic worldview. Of course it will be because anything that cannot be measured in material terms will be unknown and unexplained.
Unknown and unexplained by science. That's fine. Explaining or refuting that for which there is no physical evidence is not their particular gig. If you want knowledge of the supernatural you will have to get it in some other way.
But thats not because its unreal or does not exist. Only that the wrong method or paradigm is being used to understand this. Its like trying to use biology to understand psychology of the mind. Even worse, like using math to work out whether love is real.
Just like you using a science like archaeology to work out your own theology so you can prove others' theology is wrong.

Material science is not some philosophical argument it is an actual science, I was a materials scientist working in forensic engineering.
Here is a case history of a head on car collision where the steering column disintegrated on impact impaling and killing the driver.
It is all about gathering evidence from various sources and forming a conclusion from the evidence.

Stage / GroupSequence of Responsibilities
1. Police / Accident Investigators- Arrive first and secure the crash scene- Coordinate emergency response- Collect initial evidence (photos, measurements, witness statements)- Retrieve vehicle data if available- Begin preliminary accident reconstruction- Notify the coroner/medical examiner when fatalities occur
2. Coroner / Medical Examiner- Take custody of the deceased- Conduct autopsy and toxicology- Determine medical cause of death- Document injury patterns- Issue death certificate
3. Forensic Pathologists- Perform detailed trauma and injury analysis- Assess whether injuries match collision dynamics- Provide findings to police and reconstruction experts- Offer expert testimony if required
4. Crash Reconstruction Experts- Reconstruct crash mechanics using physics, scene evidence, and vehicle data- Determine speeds, trajectories, impact sequence, and forces- Link mechanical events to injury outcomes- Produce formal reports for investigators and insurers
5. Manufacturers / Forensic Engineering / Material Science- Investigate suspected component, structural, or material failures- Conduct materials and metallurgical analysis (fracture, fatigue, corrosion)- Assess design, manufacturing, or maintenance-related defects- Provide engineering reports for investigators or insurers

The same principles apply to the investigation of ancient tooling to produce vases, stone blocks, statues, casing stones etc where evidence is gathered from various disciplines to form a conclusion.

Stage / GroupSequence of Responsibilities
1. Archaeologists / Field Excavators- Identify and document workshop remains, unfinished artifacts, tool marks, and quarry sites- Record context, stratigraphy, and dating- Collect samples of stone, residues, and copper fragments- Photograph and map tool marks and manufacturing traces
2. Egyptologists / Textual & Iconographic Analysts- Examine reliefs, inscriptions, and tomb scenes depicting craft activities- Interpret terms for tools, materials, and workshop processes- Compare evidence across Old Kingdom sites (e.g., Giza, Saqqara, Abu Rawash)
3. Materials Analysts / Microscopy & Petrography Specialists- Use optical microscopy, SEM, and thin-section petrography to study tool marks- Analyze abrasive residues (quartz sand, emery, corundum, etc.)- Determine stone composition (granite, diorite, schist, limestone) and hardness- Characterize copper alloy composition and hardness (pure copper vs arsenical copper)
4. Experimental Archaeologists- Reproduce cutting, drilling, sawing, turning, and polishing using period-appropriate materials- Test copper saws, tube drills, bow drills, chisels, pounding stones, and sand abrasives- Document resulting tool marks for comparison with ancient surfaces- Assess labor time, wear rates, and practical feasibility of techniques
5. Engineering / Mechanics & Tribology Researchers- Model cutting forces, abrasion mechanics, and tool–stone interactions- Quantify material removal rates using copper tools with added abrasives- Analyze efficiency of rotational drilling (tube drills), sawing, and pounding methods- Compare mechanical signatures with archaeological marks (striations, grooves, kerfs)
6. Forensic Archaeologists / Comparative Analysts- Match experimentally produced tool marks with ancient examples- Evaluate consistency of patterns (circular striations, sawing kerfs, drill holes)- Identify whether the observed evidence fits known Old Kingdom techniques- Rule out or confirm exotic or anachronistic tool hypotheses
7. Synthesis by Interdisciplinary Research Teams- Integrate archaeological, experimental, chemical, and engineering data- Produce coherent models explaining how specific artifacts (vases, sarcophagi, granite blocks) were manufactured- Publish findings for peer review and comparison with other sites and periods

By comparison we have a bicycle parts manufacturer claiming the striation patterns on vase fragments were not produced by known ancient Egyptian tooling or an engineer who thinks the pyramids could not have been built but were also power sources, none of which is evidence based but personal opinion.
Lets disguise this by bringing transcedent (sic) knowledge into the picture which ultimately explains nothing.

I'm sure the family of the crash victim would take greater solace in knowing the circumstances of the accident was based on the evidence rather than some unknown transcendent mechanism.

I am not just meaning conspiracy. I am meaning the promotion of any misleading or misrepresentation of something. Using fallacies to misrepresent the facts or truths creates a false narrative like a conspiracy.
Use the right words, especially if you know them. Looseness in speech is not a virtue.
Hum then the language doesn't match. Language has been used that dismisses even the idea of ancient advanced knowledge full stop. This is done by explaining away that knowledge using the orthodox narrative as the go to explanation for everything without any evidence. Then accusing those who suggest alternative ideas as not having any evidence. Double standards. Part of forcing the orthodoxy.
Explanations are not evidence. Explanations *explain* evidence. The "orthodox narrative" is entirely based on evidence. The "alternative ideas" have the same evidence to work with. The question arises if one, the other, neither, or both work with the evidence.
What. I am pretty sure I can find direct contradictions to this in this thread. If I had suggested that the ancients gained their knowledge from extraterrestrials I would be piled on lol. There would be cries 'see we told you this is all quackery' lol.
Quite possibly. It would all come down to if the evidence supports an ET theory or does not. This is the problem with playing with the bright flames of pseudoscience -- it can burn you.
:scratch: Now I am really confused lol. So believing the ancients maybe messed around with nature, physics, chemistry, astronomy and had real effects is ok a position to hold. Or maybe if a culture gained this knowledge they passed it on and we should believe the ancients when they say that their ancestors had advanced knowledge.

This is all ok. Is that what your saying. That its a legitimate belief and position to take that may be based on the truth.
It's not OK. It is a poor position to take as it is not supported by evidence. Just because it isn't a conspiracy doesn't mean it isn't a dumb idea.
Huh, why. What if it was an inside job. Like I said usually when there is some questioning its based on some truth. This is usually some inconsistencies in what happened. Its not a complete baseless idea. As opposed to say the many other events that don't get questioned because there is nothing suspicious.

I am not saying that 9/11 was an inside job. But the idea that questioning whether something was an inside job is not a conspiracy itself.
That's exactly what the "9/11 was an inside job" conspiracy theory is Steve.
Once again there is usually some basis. It may have been nothing to do with the marfia actually killing Kennedy. But it may be that the Marfia was associated with Kennedy and that fueled the speculation. Its never based on nothing and made out of thin air. Otherwise the conspirators have nothing to use as the reason.
Conspiracy theories are built by frantic putting of unrelated factoids together because "it just makes sense." JFK was murdered by dissolusioned communist (and former defector to the USSR) with an Italian infantry rifle from the window of the schoolbook warehouse that he worked at.
Plus I think a fair number of what were considered conspiracies actually were proven true. So saying this situation or that situation is a conspiracy is unjustified as we don't know. Because the unlikely has been shown to be fact before then any conspiracy may be proven fact. We don't know the deep State and all the hidden stuff that power has kept from everyone.
Wow. You even bring up extra conspiracy theories without prompting like "the Deep State".
Look at Epstein which is starting to come out now. People have no idea of what was going on behind closed doors. But usually where theres smoke theres fire.
And his co-conspirator was convicted of conspiracy. But we aren't talking about criminal conspiracies we are listing nut-job conspiracy theories so that you can understand what one is and how ancient Egyptian potter manufacture is not one.
What about now. Up to 30 top officials with top level clearence testifying under oath in congress. Soon more will come out. How many people need to testify before its believed.

What about all the sightings. Sure some were human made drones. But many unexplained. Direct images and video from military hardware. From individuals phones and cameras all over the world. Was this just mass hallucinations.
None of those have anything to do with the conspiracy theories about the Roswell "incident". (And many of them have already been discredited. My favorite is the "UFO" tracked by a fighter jet over the ocean that turns out to be a bird.)
As mentioned these conspiracies are usually based on grains of truth. It may not have been that Dr. Faucci helped the Chinese to create Covid. But his department were involved in funding the Wuhan Institute of Virology who were working on the Covid virus. Two of the papers from that lab spoke about working on the virus and how this could create new unnatural mutations of the virus.
Not all coronaviruses are SARS-CoV-2 and that virus was first isolated from the Wuhan hospitals, not in a lab source.
So its not based on nothing and there is even some questions still unanswered. Just like ancient legends are based on some truth of an event happening that has been elaborated on. So we should not be dismissing people who ask these questions. But encourage this as this will help find the truth.

I am not the one evoking conspiracies. Any time I have mentioned this has been in response to someone making it about conspiracies or pseudoscience and I have to defend the sources. Have to explain its not actually a conspiracy or pseudoscience.
Conspiracy and pseudoscience are not the same thing. We have repeated called out the pseudoscience you have posted here. We (the "not you" posters) have not claimed anything is "a conspiracy". That is only you complaining that we are calling things conspiracies that were not in fact or implication. That failure on your part is why I wrote the post you just replied to. Is it starting to sink in?
The fact we are arguing over whether this is the case or not is the evidence that the thread has been turned that way lol. And it was not me who did this.
See last paragraph. It is because you have incorrectly introduced the term "conspiracy" in you accusations when we call out the pseudoscience in your posts.

I looked at Marian Marcis (his was the only name I remembered) academic output, how much metrology coding have he done recently? Or ever?

If you give me the names of the ones I can check that too.
The point is this does not matter. The fallacy has been shown. If as you say you looked and you don't know. That you have to ask what level of ability he has.

Then this shows that he was discredited as being an amateur without knowing this was a fact or not. Thus exposing the personal attack on him without evidence and the bias towards those who are involved.

So its too late. I am not subjecting good people to a witch hunt when the bias against them is blantantly obvious on this thread.
Being good at making bearings (as a cyclist I know who he is) don't automatically give you insights into ancient egyptian techniques.
Once again if thats the case and King could be an expert or may not be. Then don't you think that would need to be established before he was automatically dismissed as an amateur.

Once again it shows the bias. If there is going to be any judgement its always going to come down on discrediting these people without proper investigation.

Chris King is more than good at making bearings. He is a machinist at the Aerospace level and world known (credibility) in machining tech,
No energy extraction was modelled. No mechanism for extracting the energy was hypothesized, the models did not include any granite stones.
Then what was the whole exercise about and how did they learn new tech from it if nothing was modelled.
So no, the simulation don't support that the pyramids were used for energy harvesting.
Then what was concentrated in the chambers.
So what energy did the acoustic investigation say was extracted? You are doing it again, you give references that don't support the contention that any energy was extracted.
Acoustic tests have shown that the Great Pyramid's chambers, particularly the King's Chamber, are naturally resonant spaces that can concentrate sound energy. Tests show the King's Chamber has a natural resonance around 121Hz, which can amplify specific frequencies produced by voices, chanting, or instruments to create a powerful acoustic field. This resonance is believed to have been intentionally designed to amplify sound.

We've gone over these "documents" before. They haven't gotten any better.

Once more into the breach...
Acoustic tests have shown that the Great Pyramid's chambers, particularly the King's Chamber, are naturally resonant spaces that can concentrate sound energy. Tests show the King's Chamber has a natural resonance around 121Hz, which can amplify specific frequencies produced by voices, chanting, or instruments to create a powerful acoustic field. This resonance is believed to have been intentionally designed to amplify sound.
That's how rectangular rooms with reflective walls work. It would not be some extraordinary feet of architecture to design the chamber to be resonant with voice. They likely knew that about sound. But this is a property of the room (5m x 10 m, hard walls) If resonant chant is used in their religious rituals then contemporary temple design and construction would be the comparison.

As I told you before -- this paper doesn't report any results. It speaks in the future tense about things that "will be done". It is not evidence, nor could it be. It seems to be some sort of proposal. (Or, since it is given at some sort of conference, perhaps a report to the conference about what they are planning to do.)

The Acoustics of the Great Pyramid: A Deeper Breakdown
The Acoustics of the Great Pyramid: A Deeper Breakdown
A wellness grifter recapitulated the "120 Hz" resonance measurement from above and then through in a bunch of New Age nonsense into a blog article.

Frankly, Steve, this is the weakest batch of garbage you have put forward on any of the sub-sub-topics. One minimal fact (a sound resonance frequency in the burial chamber) and a lot of woo that almost makes me think the architects didn't intend the resonance. (It seem likely that they did. That isn't a particularly advanced thing to know as anyone who'd ever sung in the shower or a cave would know the basic effect.)

Everyone is assumed to be an amateur until expertise is evidenced. Not the other way around.

I wasn't the person who made the original claim, but so far it seems to hold. Why didn't they just use actual metrology software, then we wouldn't have this conversation.
So its too late. I am not subjecting good people to a witch hunt when the bias against them is blantantly obvious on this thread.

Once again if thats the case and King could be an expert or may not be. Then don't you think that would need to be established before he was automatically dismissed as an amateur.
With no academic output at all, he is an amateur. If one doesn't work professionally in the field one are an amateur. That's the definition.
Once again it shows the bias. If there is going to be any judgement its always going to come down on discrediting these people without proper investigation.

Chris King is more than good at making bearings. He is a machinist at the Aerospace level and world known (credibility) in machining tech,

Then what was the whole exercise about and how did they learn new tech from it if nothing was modelled.
If you had read it you would know. What they did is explained in the methods section, including their assumptions.
Then what was concentrated in the chambers.
Radiowaves with an wavelength between 200 to 600 m (not all of them to any large degree). But no extraction device was hypothesized.

Use the right words, especially if you know them. Looseness in speech is not a virtue.
I am talking about words being used to describe the people and evidence shown. Words like amateur as a description of the persons ability or work.

Misrepresentations and unsupported words that are used to dismiss the content being presented or the credibility of those presenting.
Explanations are not evidence. Explanations *explain* evidence. The "orthodox narrative" is entirely based on evidence. The "alternative ideas" have the same evidence to work with. The question arises if one, the other, neither, or both work with the evidence.
This is an unreal explanation itself lol and theres no evidence for it. In fact evidence of the exact opposite. Two good examples mentioned in this thread. One being the scoop marks on the unfinished obelisk.

The orthodoxy claims small dolerite pounders take years to smash out the block. Research shows the signatures don't match pounders but a combination of methods. Evidence supports other methods.

The other being the evidence for stone casting on the pyramids. The orthodoxy is they were cut, pounded and chiseled. That the blocks showing hair tight joins were just extra hard work to get such tight joins.

Research shows some have been cast. So the orthodox narrative held firm that all blocks were pounded or chiseled no matter what. Coming up with just so stories that everything including the high precision which was better explained by stone casting was rejected. It was not a case of the evidence but maintain the orthodoxy. This is happening all over the place.
Quite possibly. It would all come down to if the evidence supports an ET theory or does not. This is the problem with playing with the bright flames of pseudoscience -- it can burn you.
Yes but its stemming from the same flame. Its just some add to much fuel to it. But in some ways you have to spectualte outside the box to move forward when the present explanations are inadequate or don't match whats on the ground.

Sometimes the evidence is there but the orthodoxy explains it away ie the scoop marks. It may not point to advanced knowledge but it may well do so.

The point is the contradictory evidence is dismissed and forced into the orthodoxy ie everything within the pounding, chisling, copper hand saw, manpower methods. Slow, gradual labour heavy methods that keep the ancients primitive to match the primitive/simple to complex paradigm.
It's not OK. It is a poor position to take as it is not supported by evidence. Just because it isn't a conspiracy doesn't mean it isn't a dumb idea.
THis whole assumption of what is the evidence and what is conspiracy or a dumb idea seems subjective itself. Depending on what metaphysical belief you have.

So who says its a poor position to claim that there is alternative and advanced knowledge in the past or al all.
That's exactly what the "9/11 was an inside job" conspiracy theory is Steve.
How many so called conspiracy ideas came from such a disaster. Probably all sorts and not just the main ones like the Intelligence weakened the building or trained the pilots ect under some psychops.

These are the extreme conspiracies. But these stem from legitimate questioning and actual corruption at some level. It never comes from a situation where there was no reason for some to question and be suspicious of some sort of coverup or foul play.

Now that may be an individual case or the result of bad management that is being covered up. But something always provokes the questioning or the narrative of a coverup or foul play. It is that some take this to the extreme to make it a story itself.

The point being that based on this same human inclination its easy to see how a real event like massive floods in our distant past were turned into central myths in most religions. The same with ideas about cities or peoples who were destroyed for their hubris and sin.

Ideas like the Flood myths and great cities deing destroyed are based on real events that have been elaborated on. So investigating whether there was a great city or culture that may have been destroyed seems a reasonable line of investigation and not conspiracy making.
Conspiracy theories are built by frantic putting of unrelated factoids together because "it just makes sense." JFK was murdered by dissolusioned communist (and former defector to the USSR) with an Italian infantry rifle from the window of the schoolbook warehouse that he worked at.
Yes and that was based on the reality that the government was dealing with the mafia one way or another at the time. Its a reasonable thing to consider. The rest I don't know. But theres always some truth that has been distorted in some way.

But also sometimes the so called conspiracy is proven correct. So just coming up with a sequence of events as with Kennedy's assassination is not itself a conspiracy. Because in another case just as unlikely events have been proven correct.
Wow. You even bring up extra conspiracy theories without prompting like "the Deep State".
Thus proving my point above lol. Thankyou.
And his co-conspirator was convicted of conspiracy. But we aren't talking about criminal conspiracies we are listing nut-job conspiracy theories so that you can understand what one is and how ancient Egyptian potter manufacture is not one.
Ok lets use the very thing that is claimed to be the conspiracy. The ancient vases and other works and signatures in the stones as one line of evidence for lost knowledge and tech.

Where is the line between an investigation into this possibility and it becoming a conspiracy theory.
None of those have anything to do with the conspiracy theories about the Roswell "incident". (And many of them have already been discredited. My favorite is the "UFO" tracked by a fighter jet over the ocean that turns out to be a bird.)
So what about the rest. The actual testimony under oath of the posssession of UAP or UFO material and non-biological organism. Or the other images and video that the officials have actually said was not birds but some sort of advanced tech.

There has definitely been a spike in sightings and many unexplained. Over military bases, and the same has been reported in Russia and China. There has definitely been a spike in overall sightings throughout the world. This may be a psychological illusion but I don't think we can be so quick to dismiss whatever.

Does not our own science predict such possibilities lol. That there may be interdimensional aspects to reality. A multiverse, wormholes, life throughout the universe and beyond. Why is everyone now denying even our own scientific predictions.
Not all coronaviruses are SARS-CoV-2 and that virus was first isolated from the Wuhan hospitals, not in a lab source.
Your missing the point. It doesn't matter. Its that there is a basis for creating that conspiracy which was real. Not that it was really creating the virus. But that similar virus was being experimented there and that the US had ties to the lab. Even if it was innocent.

The point is even though the conspiracy becomes unreal and even adds falsehoods to it. It always begins fron something real. Will have the components of something real or factual that it then distorts for whatever reasons. Otherwise it doesn't work. The conspirators have to have some grains of truth to give the conspiracy some legs to build on lol.

Otherwise if nothing happened at all. The US was not associated at all with the Wuhan and the Wuhan lab was not working with viruses ect. Then theres nothing to conspire about. There always has to be a real event with some unknowns that can be exploited or twisted.
Conspiracy and pseudoscience are not the same thing. We have repeated called out the pseudoscience you have posted here.
Actual there has not been any point out pseudoscience. Or at least any credible pointing out. I just showed how biased words and language being used against those linked. There has actually been no evidence that these people are amateurs or quacks. Its only your personal opinion.

Plus when I have shown peer review or testings its dismissed as woo. Or the preliminary work is dismissed as not being worthy of further investigation. The double standards and bias is obvious. Why should anything be determined on a social media thread lol.
We (the "not you" posters) have not claimed anything is "a conspiracy". That is only you complaining that we are calling things conspiracies that were not in fact or implication. That failure on your part is why I wrote the post you just replied to. Is it starting to sink in?
Do you really want me to show the language used which clearly shows that this was the assumption for the beginning. I don't care what you want to call how people and ideas linked are framed be it a conspiracy, pseudoscience or grifters Hans. Its all the same in dismissing what is said. Its all still bias and double standards.
See last paragraph. It is because you have incorrectly introduced the term "conspiracy" in you accusations when we call out the pseudoscience in your posts.
So are you saying that no one has actually used the word conspiracy as a descriptor for the same stuff that is being framed as pseudoscience. Or that either term is still a descriptor to dismiss and devalue whats linked.

Why is it so important to get fixated on semantics. The point was these words and language are demeaning, devaluing and dismissing good people with legitimate ideas and questions about advanced knowledge.
