This is almost UNBELIEVABLE....built of METAL, so finely done as the pictures on the video? Figuring out all the info on it? HOW? Honestly, don't you just want to say "THAT CAN'T BE!"? amazing!!
Sure it wan't a "friendly's from "outside" that paid a visit and dropped it off? I had heard about it some time ago and it is a stunner... the more we learn the less we know.... :)
Hi Bunk, I moderate comments and haven't been around the computer today... It could have been Aliens :) There were some awfully smart people in times gone past. Not a lot of distractions maybe
I had read about it some time ago... are you sure it wasn't dropped off by some "outside" visitors from somewhere else? The more we learn the less we know... :)
This is fascinating. And Mr. B enjoyed it too. It's right up there with "how did the ancient Chinese electroplate?" My guess is these ancients had a less damaged gene pool.
More vids on it with fascinating info, Much longer though. So glad to hear you both enjoyed it :) I keep thinking there was a lot less mind numbing distraction like TV, radio, etc which allowed minds more free to wonder and wander,
This has fascinated me for ages. Now, given the expertise involved, were they able to make accurate clocks? And would these account for anomalous longitude/latitude maps (Piri Reis etc).
LSP, I believe if you have the timing of the planets down, you could navigate well across the oceans using a reliable clock. I don't know about the maps. The maps I've seen were not very good for a long time but maybe that would have taken too many positioning voyages around the shorelines and didn't pay as well as finding spice routes. :)
Yeah, okay ... but can it access Facebook? Can it tweet? Send emails? Play disgusting games? And you call that a computer???
ReplyDeleteWell.... they're still researching it my friend.
DeletePS - They may have used for some sort of Orgy spin the bottle type game.

ReplyDeleteYes Z. Bronze. Course the Chinese were smelting Iron 3000 year ago using coal, hardwoods and a bellows. Inventive people those ancient ones.
DeleteCheck out some of the other vids. More detail on how it was made, inscribed, etc. stc.

ReplyDeleteI've always found it fascinating.
DeleteFiled it in the "Something I'll Ask Jesus About" folder.

ReplyDeleteIt fell out of their pocket.
ReplyDeleteThat folder is very thick, Ed!

Thanks Baysider.
Google has been acting strange and many blogs I can't comment on... wasn't sure if this was one. Here goes as a test.
ReplyDeleteYOure good here Bunk. I just need to be near computer to publish any comments.
DeleteNo problem here Bunk. I have to release all comments and haven't been near a computer a while the last 2 days

ReplyDeleteHmmm.
