Pyramid Power

A bunch of Huey.

1. Having read Christopher Dunn's book, I think this video presents a poor presentation of the Power Plant Theory.

2. We should not be so presumptions to think we can judge another civilization's technology and aspirations by our own.

3. The GP is even more amazing than this video would have you believe, in its mathematics and geometry.

...And here I thought they might have been built to give ancient Hebrews something to do.

I mean, according to the OP video, one of those pyramids did have something like... 144,000 stones or something.

That was just the facing stones...

They were commemorating what they observed in the skies.

Obviously, pyramids were built as lie-attracting devices.

No not just by our own. But for sure we can put them in the context of what we know from many different civilizations.

But all those many different civilizations had the same basic archetypes in their mythologies.... So whatever it was they observed, it became their entire way of life to emulate what they saw..... Take away the myth from ancient civilizations and you are left with nothing, it was their entire way of life....

Is ancient Egypt so utterly divorced and distinct from the western cultural heritage? I dont think so.

 

[Hieronymus]

Ancients built high structures for the gods.
Powers derived are probably super natural.
Most likely not of God (YHWH) though...
New Age spiritualistic suggestion is popular.
They don't want us to believe YHWH is God most high and John 3:16.

 

[Nithavela]

Nosense, they were grain silos.

And such is why at the level of the archetype they all share the exact same similarities.....

They all witnessed the same chaotic events which triggered all their mythologies...

So why are their mythologies different?

At the level of the archetype they are not. For the same reason if I and another person witness an event, tell it to others, who tell it to others, who tell it to others..... the stories you will be told will have only a basic similarity to what I and the other person originally told..... now multiply that over thousands of years and thousands of people instead of just a few days or hours and a few people.....

Can you give an example of a single archetype myth to support your claim? We are talking about any single event which is common across every culture.

I don't know if you can generalize to every culture, but there are many that are consistent across a majority of cultures.

I bet you can't give an example beyond everything having come into existence.

Edit: I recognise there are many stories of local floods, but they're local floods and the story lines are different.

What about the idea of a world tree?
