Not that I've heard....but I have heard that weight could be cancelled out with sound resonation so that large blocks of stone could be floated in midair and placed wherever needed to construct pyramids and other megalithic structures. I would say that there were natural explanations for the great prehistoric engineering feats that aren't adopted simply because we don't have real scientists any more. By that, I mean "objective" scientists who don't have agendas. This means, they only look for and only record that which they like to help people believe their theories. Leahy and others actually give this away in quotes about how they intended to "prove" something. Modern day alleged scientists hate to admit they don't know every single thing that ever happened. Oh, they might say that they don't know every single thing that ever happened, but they give themselves away when they rant and rave and claim to be gods who do know everything that ever happened. They seem to be oblivious to this. Those huge rocks and stones in the great prehistoric engineering feats probably arrived close to building sites by natural means, or an easy path was created by natural means. Earthquakes, floods, whatever. But because geologists, archaeologists, and other control freaks want to just believe what they want to believe, they only accept the words of people who say what they want to hear. I've actually seen this happen in local History and local news. It's too bad that the "academia" is composed of members who almost unanimously believe they are gods and can't confess in their own hearts that they won't know every single thing that ever happened in every part of the Universe. But then, it could be that there were different laws of Physics at one time. Science has only been studied by humans for a very short fraction of History I totally dig where you're coming from on this, drystyx. Less than two hundred years ago the city of Troy and the Trojan War were regarded as made-up myth by the mainstream scientific community. Bones of giant humanoid beings have been found all over the world and the Smithsonian Institution covered it up. They don't like admitting they were wrong, and they're never going to admit they lied.

Ah, you’re right. But now that you mention it, any possibility that they had telekinesis as well? Not that I've heard....but I have heard that weight could be cancelled out with sound resonation so that large blocks of stone could be floated in midair and placed wherever needed to construct pyramids and other megalithic structures. Gee...that sounds probable....NOT! Where on earth do you get this shit? Let me guess some bozo on YouTube?

TheHeraldErjen is a Bible thumping lunatic desperately trying to discredit science, because he's too simple minded to conflate and extrapolate good science and good religion. To him only one can be true. Them both being a little right and wrong, is too abstract a concept for him to comprehend. Do you think I'm in the ballpark?

I have posted with him for more than 15 years. At heart he is a decent bloke. I wouldn't call him a bible thumper because he is too much of an individualist. He hides a good brain well and is totally the epitome of what is in this article about 'conspiracy theorists'. He is archetypal in this way. His biggest problem is either the lack of will ( though he seeks knowledge from the wrong sources) to educate himself or the most likely thing ... he is the poster boy for the rise of anti-intellectualism and suspicion of 'experts' media, academia and documentary style presentation based on facts and science in USA ( and other places) today. www.psychologytoday.com/intl/blog/suspicious-minds/201510/the-psychology-conspiracy-theories#:~:text=The%20psychology%20of%20conspiracy%20theories%20tells%20us%20a,brain%20is%20biased%20doesn%E2%80%99t%20always%20mean%20you%E2%80%99re%20wrong.

Yep. He's definitely a conspiracy theorist.

More than 15 years? According to my math it's been about 7-8 years.

2009. My first post on RFS was in the latter half of 2012. I first encountered you sometime after that.

The Watercooler didn't exist when I joined, nor did I ever post there. I remember you bragging about how you proposed that board, however. I never posted on the Soapbox (until I was restricted there later), and I posted on the Sandbox only a couple of times in mid-2012. You are obviously confusing me with another "conspiracy theorist."

If human evolution is true then surely it would be traceable far beyond 4000bc.
It is.

Not that I've heard....but I have heard that weight could be cancelled out with sound resonation so that large blocks of stone could be floated in midair and placed wherever needed to construct pyramids and other megalithic structures. The ancients were just as clever as us, with vastly more experience in working with stone. In addition the Pharaohs had a virtually unlimited workforce, plenty of time and patience and full control over their projects. Disagreements chiefly concern the methods used to move and place the stones. Various suggestions have been made by archaeologists as to how the pyramids might have been built and it seems reasonable to think that eventually one will be accepted as most likely over the others as research continues. Pseudoscientific theories have proliferated in the vacuum of definitive construction explanations but space aliens or telekenesis really need not apply. www.nationalgeographic.com/travel/travel-interests/arts-and-culture/ancient-sites-built-by-aliens/ I am surprised that Cody would ask why there is no recorded history before 4000 BC as, if true, that would mean the early Bible was ahistorical. But as I am sure has already been pointed out, one reason is that writing itself did not appear until after that date. The only history recorded before then is through the fossil and archaelogical record.

You'd have to ask Cody, but I think he meant written history where the time of the writing could be dated to earlier than 4000 BC, not history talking about events before 4000BC. Maybe I'm wrong, but that's how I interpreted it.

I can see that distinction, but if we accept that there is no written history before 4000BC then what can any history relating to purported human events and individuals before then rely on for veracity?

I'm afraid I don't know, but I do know that written accounts aren't relied on either. For example, I think the Epic of Gilgamesh was based on actual events. Do you? Or was it just storytelling for entertainment?

It is also easier to distinguish likely fact from invention for professional historians these days than one might think.
