ChezGiven 0 Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 The mathematical proportions of the Great Pyramid can be related in many ways to the proportions of the earth, around the circumference, the equator, the latitudinal circumference of the earth etc. This makes sense actually based on traditional mythology. Historical understanding says that it is a representation of the earth and they built it in alignment with many of earth's features. The same geometry can be seen in Angkor Wat and Teotihuacan. But doesnt matter about the geometry. We have pyramids all over the planet which have never been connected by any historical narrative. Meaning we are clueless. I think the pyramids are great because they gently nibble at the certainties of traditional human histories. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fish 10873 Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 (edited) http://www.bibliotecapleyades.net/piramides/esp_piramide_8.htm#The Orion Mystery Well, I wasn't convinced at all until I saw this website from 1992. But now, Joking aside, Trooper, do you honestly believe advanced Aliens came to Earth, built some pyramids, then fucked off forever?

ChezGiven 0 Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 I think The Fish looks like the most out of step to reality in this thread. "You're just seeing patterns that arent there". No, they are large buildings, not patterns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toonotl 2988 Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 The theory Trooper is bleating on about, for those that are interested, is that the Nile is an analog for the Milky Way, with the relative orientation of Orion's Belt to the Milky Way being analogous to the alignment of the Giza pyramids with the Nile as at 10,000BC. It is complete bullshit. I've read Bauval and Hancock's books. They are complete nonsense. The crux of the argument is an explanation for the construction of the pyramids based upon an argument from ignorance, like every other conspiracy theory involving ancient structures. Trooper you're arguing with someone who has read the books you're quoting this shit from. They're crap. Much like your space-Noah 'article'. Conspiracy bullshit is in no way reserved for pyramid structures by the way Chez. Every pre-historic structure that's ever existed has a nonsense story about aliens, or whatever, attached. That doesn't add credence, or highlight uncertainties in the historical record, it highlights the unimaginativeness of human attempts to explain things they don't understand with magic. It's the 'God of the gaps' argument applied, with a 'pick your own God' module added in for whackos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChezGiven 0 Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 I think they do highlight uncertainties. How did 4 separate cultures with no communication between them (the prevailing historical narrative) come up with building Pyramids independently of each other? There are gaps in our understanding and their very presence as monuments on earth flag those gaps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChezGiven 0 Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 That gap doesn't require a conspiracy to fill it, just history or explanation that we don't have. I've also read Bauval - the water weathering on the Sphinx is worth investigation and is backed up by mainstream geology. Another gap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Renton 21643 Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 Pyramids were the only way ancient civilizations could build relatively tall buildings, hardly suprising they are omnipresent in earlier times. I'd consider the lack of any other evidence of technologically advanced civilization much more telling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trooper 940 Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 Well, I wasn't convinced at all until I saw this website from 1992. But now, Joking aside, Trooper, do you honestly believe advanced Aliens came to Earth, built some pyramids, then fucked off forever? Maybe's that was their calling card whose to say we won't find other pyramids on the other planets a bit like the monolith in 2001 a space oddesy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Older than the prevailing narrative says it is.

toonotl 2988 Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 So...You read a couple of books yeah? Probably more than you to be fair.

Sorry. You're right about evidence in that it can be subjective. It's why I asked for something credible. Not a Wikipedia link.
