Ancient High Technology

Very interesting John!.

Only got throuigh part 1.
Love to go on but. I'm too tired right now. Hopefully will get back to enjoy part 2.

Seems the studies done on what I enjoyed so far, leaves me with a couple questions.

Forget the object found for a second and analyse the sands around them for signs of corundum, a highly utilized aluminum oxide that could have served
as an abrasive for a copper, or bronze, cutting wheel. It's abundance and hardness of 9 may have .been a more likely source considering the minerals in the area.

Certainly even partially civilized hierachy would have recognized the differences in mineral hardness and toughness by acrude everday usage.

There is definitely the possibility that any large cutting wheels (if such were created and utilized) might have been reconverted to other smaller tools and ornaments for any following generations. Some of these might have dissolved over time and clues to them could only be derived by soil sampling...

There are several other minerals that could fit the bill, but rarity would have make them less likely. Garnet has possibilities, but much slower cutting ability. Many plants and and lighter minerals could have collectivly served for polishing. Even the acidity of urine could have serve for polishing. Certainly enough people to have made that a worthy contribution. Any acids utilized for polishing would definitely take real sophisticated equipment to analize, and might not even be possible yet.

It is so fascinating to consider the knowledge of yesteryears. Generations from now others will certainly find lifetimes of questions about us; Wonder if they'll be as interested in discoveing our contributions.

Thanks for sharing,
Mike

Evidence for Ancient High Technology, part 2

Just watched the 1st video.
The narrator is on point both in the proposition that human high technology is a lot older than academia's antiquated narrative describes and that said academics do not have the engineering expertise to analyze many ancient artifacts mode of manufacturing techniques.
It is refreshing to see others realize that it's human ingenuity that gives rise to civilization's accomplishments an not some BS ancient astronaut theorists who credits every freaking unexplained thing in their little brains to grey aliens of the Steven Spielberg kind.

There HAD to be a pre-flood society that was wiped out. There is no way we went from hunter/gather society to building highly complex structures and then back to a primitive culture.

Modern humans and our insufferable egos. We have a hard time wrapping our heads around the concept that our ancestors were every bit as intelligent and innovative.

enjoyable to say the least.... wonderful material for further developing concerns that are [or will be] facing us in the immediate period to come! Tremors in the Force; cracks in the fragile shell of dogma, history and idealism.... all good

Can you imagine how kids see us? If we say we never had a cellphone, they can not fathom us leaving the house during the day.

You do not get in a car today without a cellphone. What if you got stranded?

We are some sort of odd aliens perhaps to the young people. Wandering around through our childhoods in the dark.

Same thing.

Really we straddle the industrial age and the digital age. The two march on together, but look at home much more innovative this new age is.

DB "Can you imagine how kids see us? If we say we never had a cellphone, they can not fathom us leaving the house during the day." .......... I have yet to entertain the notion of a cellphone - I cannot image leaving a house for the day, with one - god forbid!

My dad was born in 1907. Theirs was the first family on the coast to buy a Model T, which he drove because his dad never learned. Before that, he drove their 2-horse wagon team 10 miles to town. He worked the docks in tiny coves when doghole schooners were still common along the coast. When the internet became a thing and companies started advertising their websites on TV, Dad always giggled when he heard them say "dot com". I can imagine why that would strike him funny after all the changes he saw during his 94 years.

I have gotten a real kick out of watching a few episodes of the series " Life After People." In the scheme of time, technological wonders can be obliterated. Atrophy is a fact of historical obliteration. When artifacts do not fit the dominant narrative, the narrative needs to be altered and the gate keepers of the narrative if not flexable loose their credibility. I find it troubling that such academics have a stranglehold on logically based ideas such that many seek to destroy ideas that do not reconcile their own.
