Ancient Tech Levels

---

I'm not really certain why, but it seems to me that the Archaeologists specifically, and the scientific community in general, have always assumed and implied that the "Standard Model" for the timeline of human technology (I am speaking about human creation and usage of tools) is the same for all humans on the planet of any given era or epoch. For instance, the Stone Age - It is labeled the "Stone Age" because (it is assumed and implied) that humans were not able to create anything more advanced (technologically speaking) than stone tools and implements. I believe this to be an incorrect assumption, a logical fallacy.

There are several reasons I believe this to be true, and it is because, firstly, the archaeologists are attempting to have it both ways, meaning that they are assuming, and do espouse, that there is no proof of higher technology in the fossil record associated with the "Stone Age", therefore there can be no higher technology ever discovered in the record associated with the "Stone Age", but on the other hand they assume, and do espouse, that they will eventually uncover the "missing link" and that it is just a matter of time.

Sorry, you don't get to have it both ways.

Next is that there is an enormous amount of data that proves the contrary in the form of the  "Out-Of-Place-Artifacts" (OOPARTs). Those items that have been, and still are, being discovered that do not fit the "Standard Model" timeline for technology. (examples of some of these OOPARTs are Antikythera Mechanism, The London Hammer, ect.) And these are only two examples of many, many more. There are literally hundreds, if not thousands.

Antikythera Mechanism

The artifact was retrieved from the sea in 1901, and identified on 17 May 1902 as containing a gear wheel by archaeologist Valerios Stais, among wreckage retrieved from a wreck off the coast of the Greek island Antikythera. The instrument is believed to have been designed and constructed by Greek scientists and has been variously dated to about 87 BC, or between 150 and 100 BC, or to 205 BC, or to within a generation before the shipwreck, which has been dated to approximately 70–60 BC.

London Hammer

The London Hammer (also known as the "London Artifact") is a name given to a hammer made of iron and wood that was found in London, Texas in 1936. Part of the hammer is embedded in a limy rock concretion, leading to it being regarded by some as an anomalous artifact, asking how an obviously man-made tool could come to be encased in a 400 million year old rock. It has been stated that carbon dating "showed inconclusive dates ranging from the present to 700 years ago."

Next is that there is ample evidence we can see today among all the humans on planet earth. For instance, consider the leading countries that are exploring space. Then consider the tribes of the Amazon rain forests. There is an enormous gap in technology from space exploration to hunting with spears and living in thatch huts.

I'm just saying, there is more than enough evidence to prove the assumption false. So, my question is, why haven't those in the scientific community recognized this? I believe that it is because they are too invested in the "Standard Model" now. Too many things in science depend upon that model (e.g. - Darwin's Theory, for one). They have a vested interest in maintaining the current paradigm because changing the timeline for human technology would most likely cause many changes to the evolution timeline and so on. There are many other reasons as well. Consider also, the human ego. Many scientists simply refuse to allow anyone to tell them they are wrong (and by the way, that arrogance is unscientific in the extreme). And there is always, the very human trait that people (in general) react poorly to the truth. 

If it is true that we, as humans, had an earlier epoch wherein our ancient ancestors (the ancient builders) were far more advanced than archaeology wants to admit and that epoch was destroyed by a cataclysm (the flood mythos for example), then that would definitely be a threat to the current paradigm and "Standard Model". It would mean that the timeline for human evolution is too condensed and incomplete. It could mean that, just as the Hindu's believe, we live through grand cycles of time, and we may have possibly achieved this technological level many times before. This hypothesis seems to fit more accurately the human timeline, based on where the evidence is leading us. For archaeology to be called science, as opposed to being called a religion, it needs to incorporate all evidence, and stop "cherry picking" only the parts that support the current paradigm and "Standard Model". If all available evidence is not used to formulate the hypothesis, It is actually called pseudo-science, and it would be more akin to a religion, rather than actual science.

Pharaoh Khufu's Ship Recently Discovered

Khufu's recently discovered ship

---

Above is an image of the reconstructed "ship" of Khufu recently discovered buried near the Great Pyramid of Giza. I am extremely skeptical of the explanation ascribed to this relic. I believe that the archaeologists / Egyptologists may have made a mistake. Does this "boat" really represent something that was built for a Pharaoh? As amazing as it is, it appears to be something more akin to a fishing boat than a construction for a Pharaoh (remember: a Pharaoh is essentially a living god). Even if it were restored to pristine condition, I do not believe it could possibly represent the best possible show of craftsmanship by the Egyptians when constructing something made of wood for a Pharaoh.

Khufu's recently discovered ship

If this truly does represent the pinnacle of Egyptian craftsmanship during Khufu's reign, then it is my opinion that the Great Pyramid was not built by Khufu's craftsmen. One would suppose that the wood carvers and shipwrights would be on par with the stone masons. Are we supposed to believe that the Egyptian craftsmen could carve the hardest stone on the planet into the most beautiful statues and decorative art work, with the finest polish and finish, and this "boat" is the very best they could do for Pharaoh Khufu?!? I am incredulous. If Khufu's stone masons actually built the Great Pyramid, I am certain they looked scornfully upon the wood workers and shipwrights. I believe, this "boat", either was not built for Khufu, or any other pharaoh, or the Egyptians of his era actually did not have the technology to carve the hardest stone on the planet!!

As for why it was buried next to the Pyramid, that is anyone's guess. I believe that the Archaeologists need to rethink what this "boat" actually represents. Even if every board were replaced with the finest wood, it would still look like a fishing boat! We are lead to believe by the Egyptologists and Archaeologists that only the finest of things are placed with the Pharaohs of Egypt. Gold, Silver, and all the finest of things are buried with the Pharaohs, yet here is a very common looking boat ascribed as the Pharaoh's religious pilgrimage "ship". Really? I mean, REALLY?!? How can any archaeologist, or those that represent the scientific establishment say this with a straight face? Now, if it were just a mock-up of something, to represent something for ceremonial purposes, then that is a different story, but this clearly does not fit with all the other finery found or shown to be for a Pharaoh. If I had to guess what it represented, I would probably say that it was taken from the Nile river and buried next to the pyramids to stop the migration of the Nile away from the pyramids.

Below is an image of Napoleon's Barque (Ship). Granted that this was from an entirely different era, but the quality of the craftsmanship is quite high as compared to Khufu's ship.

Below is an image of a model of an ancient Greek Trireme warship. Apparently, the Greek Sailors out-ranked a Pharaoh as well, or the Greeks had superior shipwrights and wood working craftsmen.

The Great Sphinx at Giza

The Great Sphinx at Giza is probably the most iconic and  recognizable monument in the world. It measures 240 feet (73 meters) long and 66 feet (20 meters) high, and is one of the world’s largest monuments. Commonly, and widely accepted, is the theory that the Great Sphinx was erected for the Pharaoh Khafre (roughly 2603-2578 B.C.). However, the age of the Great Sphinx is still hotly debated in academic circles. New evidence has been brought forth that places the age of the original construction of the Sphinx much further in the past (estimated to be approximately 12,500 years ago, or 11,000 - 10,500 B. C. ). The evidence is based on the weathering of the stone, both on the body of the Sphinx and on the enclosure wall.

Dr. Robert Schoch

Geologist Dr. Robert Schoch has used the weathering pattern to estimate the new date. He has stated that the weathering on both the enclosure walls and on the body of the Sphinx (not the head) are due specifically to precipitation or rainfall and that it would have taken an enormous amount of time to produce the weathering observed at present. The head of the Sphinx is excluded from the estimation because it is not nearly as weathered as the body, and is assumed to have been re-carved at a later date, which further lends credence to the theory of a more ancient date for original construction of the Sphinx complex. There are no decorations or hieroglyphs on the Great Sphinx itself. A single stele stands between the paws, and because it is not attached to the body, could have been placed there at a date later than the original construction. Too, Dr. Robert Schoch and his team performed seismic surveys of the area around the Great Sphinx and discovered that there is a void beneath the left front paw of the Sphinx. He has stated that he has re-examined the seismic data recently and confirms that not only is there a void, but that it is not just an amorphous cavern, and that it is a rectangular room with things stored in it. Are these, and similar epiphanies possibly informing us that there was an Ancient Builder race that existed prior to the last ice age? The weathering is obvious on the body of the Great Sphinx, but the enclosure walls are quite dramatic in their appearance of weathering. The body of the Sphinx was carved right out of the bedrock. The stones cut and removed from the enclosure area weigh in excess of one hundred tons and were used in the construction of the temple just in front of the Sphinx enclosure. When we compare the head and body, notice that the head and face are not nearly as weathered as the body or the enclosure. When the date of construction is pushed back to the very end of the last ice age, one must consider the possibility of an ancient and technologically advanced race or culture that had the capability to build such enormous and megalithic monuments.

The Temple of Bacchus at Baalbek Lebanon

The gigantic stones used in the megalithic construction

Baalbek - Temple of Bacchus

This is the Temple of Bacchus at Baalbek (also known as Heliopolis in Roman times) and was built by the Romans. It is a World Heritage site. The temple was commissioned by Roman Emperor Antoninus Pius and designed by an unknown roman architect and built close to the courtyard in front of the larger temple of Jupiter-Baal. Archeologists generally consider the period of construction to be between 150 AD to 250 AD.

Baalbek - Stone of the Pregnant Woman

This is the Stone of the Pregnant Woman and lies in a nearby quarry only 900 meters from the Heliopolis. There are multiple stones of similar size in the quarry. According to calculations this stone weighs approximately 1000 tons. To say the stone is gigantic is an understatement. This stone was considered the largest carved stone ever discovered until a new larger carved stone was uncovered just below this stone. The new larger stone is estimated to weigh 1600 tons (3 million 2 hundred thousand pounds - 3,200,000 lbs). The sheer size of these stones is astounding and it is practically inconceivable as to how they were transported from one location to another considering that we are only capable of moving stones that weigh approximately 300 - 400 tons at the present time. 

Baalbek - Newly discovered 1600 ton carved stone below the Stone of the Pregnant Woman

When the larger stone was discovered, it was jokingly stated that "the Stone of the Pregnant Woman has given birth!"

Well known is the platform on which the Roman Temple of Jupiter stands. The image below displays the famous Trilithon Stones of Baalbek. Each stone weighs in excess of an estimated 800 tons each.

Baalbek - Trilithon Stones outlined in red frames

Baalbek - Trilithon platform with man for size reference

These are massive stones that appear to be older than the construction of the roman Temple of Jupiter that rests upon this platform. The weathering on the stones is a tell tale sign that there are multiple periods of construction on this site. The massive trilithon stones and the stones below them seem to be more weathered than the roman construction above. Also, the stones that are most weathered appear to be constructed with a greater precision. This is counter-intuitive to what one would expect to see at any archaeological site. It doesn't make sense that the older construction would have better precision than the newer construction, but that is what is found at this site. This leads one to ask who were the builders of this older site? The Ancient Builders of this older construction certainly seemed to be in possession of a knowledge that the Romans lacked. Specifically, how to carve and move the largest known stones on the planet and fit them together with a precision that we would have difficulty reproducing today, let alone in Roman times.

THE LAST ANCIENT WONDER OF THE WORLD

THE GREAT PYRAMID OF EGYPT ON THE GIZA PLATEAU

The Great Pyramid is a mystery, a monument, an enigma, a testiment, and a true Wonder of the Ancient World. The pyramid is estimated to have around 2,300,000 stone blocks that weigh from 2 to 50 tons each and there are even some blocks that are part of the internal structure that weigh over 70 tons. The base of the pyramid covers 592,000 square feet with each side greater than 218,000 square feet. The interior has a constant temperature and equals the average temperature of the earth which is 68 Degrees Fahrenheit. The outer mantle was composed of 144,000 casing stones which were highly polished and flat to an accuracy of 1/100th of an inch (this equals approximately the thickness of three sheets of paper). They were about 100 inches thick and weigh approximately 15 tons each.

The Pyramid is aligned to "True North" - The Great Pyramid is the most accurately aligned known structure in existence and faces true north with only a 3/60th of a degree of error. That equals only 3 minutes of a degree off true north. The Great Pyramid is located at the center of all land mass of the earth. The east/west parallel that crosses the most land and the north/south meridian that crosses the most land intersect in two places on the earth; one intersection is in the ocean and the other is centered on the Great Pyramid. The mathematics encoded into the Great Pyramid is astounding. It encodes the following principles of mathematics:

• Phi - the Golden Ratio that appears throughout nature and is related to the Fibonacci Sequence.
• Pi - the circumference of a circle in relation to its diameter.
• The Pythagorean Theorem – Credited to the mathematician Pythagoras, which can be expressed as a² + b² = c².
• The relationship between Pi and Phi is expressed in the fundamental proportions of the Great Pyramid.
• The arc designed into the faces of the pyramid matches the radius of the earth exactly.

The four sides of the pyramid are actually eight sides. They are slightly concave making it unique in it's construction, and is the only known pyramid to have been built this way. The eight sides can only be seen from the air and only at sunrise during the spring and autumn equinoxes. The date (twice each year) at which the sun crosses the celestial equator, and when day and night are of equal length (approximately March 20 and September 22).

The best news is that a new chamber has been discovered recently in the Great Pyramid using a new technique. The approximate location of the newly discovered chamber is shown below.
