Hmmmm... this could fit into Graham Hancocks Fingerprints of the Gods theory about a seperate people who survived a cataclysm about 12 K years ago and taught farming and civilization to the rest of the ravaged world.

    After I retired and I started my REAL education, learning about history and quantum physics, my mind opened to concepts I never considered before then. Scientists should be strict about proving theories, but open minded about the attempts to prove new ideas.

    Especially when the route was down a steep mountain and across a river and back up 10000ft.
    With 80 ton stones

    I did not do arbitrary math I just stated a fact.
    I called it an incredible coincedence. What is your point?
    Let's see an example of your arbitrary math
    Use 533.771 and show me something of interest.

    It is written that man once lived in caves. If it true, how come so few caves exist that have remains of humans living in them. Hum, no cave tracks either.

    Mysticism is often science we do not understand rendered down to something excusable. Look at the Hammurabi, it talks of weapons used that were great fire from the sky: atomic?

    The use of numbers as communication is what Graham Hancock was all about. The fact specific values we use today are embedded in many sites and things indicates something as passed down through the ages, and someone wanted an unmistakable sign left. Maybe it a test?

    Indeed, Dale, no one seems to want to think that technology can be in many forms, some of which we do not posess or understand today. Obviously, when you look at some of the megalithic sites, something beyond what we know today was used. The Great Pyramid today has blocks in it's base that only 2 cranes in the world today can move. So one has to wonder how they did it.

    Exactly, which is why there should be a lot more open minded efforts to connect all the dots from the past, even if they do not fit the current model.

    And, howinell stones weighing many tons got where they were and got shaped the way they were shaped.

    Given the relatively small distances and uncertainty in time frames it appears more likely that the technology spread rather than two separate inventions.

    So what? The number of days in a year multiplied by some other arbitrary number is whatever arbitrary number you want to get any "coincidence" you want.

    You can do any arbitrary arithmetic you want to without the "math being wrong". Arbitrary arithmetic has no meaning beyond that.

    Absolutely ! The earth is 4.2 billion years old . The best way to leave a lasting legacy is in stone and to have the stones with incredible astronomy and complex mathematical formulas built in to them makes one curious as to what we haven't learned yet.

    Just another example of the connections of very far flung regions of the earth in the ancient history of man. I love breasts ...so.

    History's Mysteries.
    In all the years the hominids have been around, entire civilizations could have risen, and fallen, with the oldest no longer leaving hardly a trace. Our civilization is just a few thousand years old and has the capability of total destruction, or, as we now know, total destruction from space. It makes even the most far-out S.F. or fantasy stories a lot more feasible than previously believed.

    365.242 numbers of days in a year multiplied by 360,000 ( key number in the precessional code)
    Is the earth in feet.

    No, we aren't "staying with you on this one". You can selectively manipulate numbers to make any "coincidence" you want.

    The 'golden mean' mythology is number mysticism. No 6 place decimal, let alone the irrational number, is "represented" in our bodies or anywhere else.

    Yes...and there are those not of masonry that call that mysticism.
    Laughing...but I have noticed in the past few years that the auto industry, especially in the east, do not use that ratio...to put it nicely...
