ANCIENT

& CRANK

Put me down for both.

Especially crank … right now allowing curiosity to dominate.

I keep asking myself: WRT the Great Sphinx of Giza—what/why/how/etc the knob on the beast’s chest?

AND BEFORE

we get down to the gritty (pun intentional!) let us not forget that said beast spent a significant amount of time covered up to the neck in sand.

One might ask ‘How long has that region been sandy?’ and into many answers try to work the Establishment’s (now abandoned) notions of slaves dragging all those cute little pyramid blocks on rollers up wee ramps. (Dragging across loose sands ain’t easy … so how long has it been not-sand?)

BUT THIS

is digression and we need to get back to the lump on his chest. Her chest. Bugger … the model for the sculptor had a cancer, perhaps?  (I wish I were omniscient)(or had the sympathies of one.)

Damn … there it is again …

Dr Schoch (re)dated the Sphinx after due consideration—and decided that it is just a little older than The Establishment bleats. The actual antiquity seems to be a moving target of opportunity opinion.

But don’t fret—

—the wee lump is still there; ‘they’ haven’t covered it over. Yet.

Now back to my query:

is it there by design,

or a work of Nature?

 

AND MY APOLOGIES

—I should have noted the source for this wee snippet, but as final words—

—I didn’t.

Another blasted crank (possibly a bit ahead of his time).

 

 

HEAD ROCKS

so please pass the Tinfoil Hat.

I VISIT AND READ A LOT

of cranks. Many modern, some so old they were cranks before cranks were even invented. I put my interests down to the ‘wotif’ syndrome. You know, the old ‘wotif this rubbish is actually real‘?

THEN I WEIGH FACT

against supposition. Lots of those about, so take your pick. All welcome—whoever controls the purse shrieks the loudest and establishes The Only Truth.

TO NOT DIGRESS

I’m fascinated by ancient stuff. Especially the Pyramids of Egypt and South America (we won’t mention the colossals of China ‘cos the Chinese are frantically hiding theirs under artificial forests); and, of course, ancient stonework that if the reports are true quite simply shouldn’t be there.

SO I INDULGE

(every man can be excused a harmless hobby, no?) by pondering enigmae put up by cranks such as Graham Hancock, Dr Schoch (geologist who re-dated the Sphinx and so embarrassed outraged The Establishment*), Bauval, Jimmy**, J A West, and oodles of others.

Now:

SOME GREAT BRAIN

looked at a few of the works the above cranks were investigating and noted that some of the markings on some of the stonework had patterns suggestive of the appearance of worked plastic stone; ie concrete or similar. One (Davidovitz) even suggested that the Giza pyramid blocks were cast in situ. To each his own, but the commonality here ‘is appearance of worked plastic stone’.

BETTER MINDS THAN MINE

have looked at the finish of some of the stoneworks (even the great Petrie was impressed) and declared that zillions of slaves, whips, and long skinny ramps aside … the precision of the emplaced stonework and associated artefacts precludes oafs with stone pounders (and/or copper chisels).

LEAVING OUT

the less than credible “little green men from beyond the stars” and keeping our problems in house:  how?

I REMEMBERED

reading Fawcett’s book, located my own copy, and had a quick blitz. Fascinating stuff, but I was delighted to quickly find the reference I was after—

—and if you read on from there you’ll find a wee anecdote about nephew’s silver spurs eroding to diddley-squat as he hoofed through some low bushery.

It could of course be a huge giggle at my expense, no? But if true would answer a lot of questions—

Ooops … more words than most people like, so I’ll draw a halt here.

Enjoy~!

YESTERDAY

I SPENT

a lot of time on the computer (u-toobes and reading). Specifically reading about the Japanese angle on Pearl Harbour, and webbing ‘archaeological anomalies’. I am now thoroughly convinced—but still a crank*—that (SFX: state the following in sonorous tones please; heavy on the melodrama and make it ponderous)

We are not the first

 

‘advanced’ civilisation**.

I BELIEVE

it’s only belief ‘cos I can’t prove it (but deep down I know …) that in times past there were races on this planet who could do and achieve things that we would have problems with today. The major one of which is believing the evidence of our eyes and forming our own conclusions, even when (especially when) they fly in the face of entrenched sinecurical ‘wisdoms’ (didn’t the Holy Church decree the world to be flat?)(Is it still flat or has the Pope recanted?***).

ANYWAY

It’s now a whole new happy year (as usual) and here’s your snap—

—borrowed with much appreciation from one of my heroes, Graham Hancock. Click the above screenie to be taken (it’s a link~) to his website gallery. Graham at the moment is the proverbial ‘lone voice in the wilderness‘ but before long he’ll be cast aside as the entrenched Establishment is forced to regroup, pick up his ball out of desperation and run with it: before declaring outright that it was their own idea all along. ‘(Tis ever thus.)

HERE,

have another—
