yea i remember watching a jap show on it, lots of em say it's beautiful but natural (jap scientists)

A really good indicator that it's natural is there are other examples of these sharp right angle cuts along the shore. It's nothing special in this area. Hancock for whatever reason refuses to admit it's natural. Probably because he talked about how it was legit in one of his books and doesn't want to go back on his own claims.

yea i remember a jap scientist was like "it's cool it's underwater, but this is what the cliffs of yonaguni island look like" and i'm sure since it's underwater theres no wind erosion so all faults and cracks start out straight as shit, just like when you take a quarry slab, just that over a few thousand years wind makes those lines no longer straight.

its just a bunch of nothing.

there is no rhyme or reason to it, they dont even explain what its supposed to look like. the broken stone is sitting right next to it. if it were a manmade structure, it would have been moved away.

graham was losing me for a while and then he pulled out his fuck you card

faggot hat called graham a white supremcist and denied it for half an hour

heres an article he wrote calling graham a white supremecist

www.sapiens.org

The Dangers of Ancient Apocalypse’s Pseudoscience

Reviewing Netflix’s Ancient Apocalypse, an anthropologist explains how Graham Hancock devalues both archaeology and Indigenous heritage.
www.sapiens.org www.sapiens.org

while he doesn't outright say graham IS a nazi, he's using the shit libe "reinforce white supremacist ideas..."

same thing

so 2:40hrs i'm back on the graham train

Funny isn't it.. Like a catastrophe hit and most likely caused a reset. Like graham and other "pseudo scientists" are postulating.a

there are other mass extinction event timelines before that, but nobody is willing to dig deeper than the 12k mark. its "established science" that 12k was when people crossed over the land bridge to the US. nobody who depends on funding is willing to rock the established science boat by looking for anything older. even though people have found much older artifacts in the US.

Only things imo that would be preserved if older would be in the warmer climate areas. Middle east Sahara area South america etc. On one hand we have ancient ruins, we just do not know exactly how old they are. We have guesses but no proof, for instance supposedly a piece of wood found in the pyramids was carbon dated to be a older by about 500 years than the accepted date of the pyramid construction. A lot can happen in 500 years that is 25 generations of people(@20 yrs per generation)

isn't he talking about the one that is all broken on the ground vs the ones on the left that are obviously multiple blocks.
edit: ahh he is talking about later statues, they MIGHT have been one stone but shrug

I was specifically talking about the sitting statues that he said were made of single pieces of stone when they clearly weren't.

As for the toppled colossus if it is the one I think you mean, then I have problems with his claims as well. That being his claim that it was toppled by a heat explosion. We know exactly what happens to any given stone when heated it will either completely melt, partially melt, or metamorphose and you will get almost exact temperature readings off the rocks.

Lastly, he said the earth altered it axial tilt from a straight zero degrees tilt to 23ish degrees. That is absolutely a bullshit statement. The earth alters its axial tilt from roughly 22 degrees to roughly 24 degrees on a 44000 year cycle.

Foerster isnt a scientist, he probably gets mixed up on his numbers, but the colossus might have fallen over and been put back up and thats why its sectional. the other colossus looks solid.

to me the one of the left looks solid, at least no definitive division lines between stones, the one on the right looks like it was repaired/reconstructed at some time thus not all solid.

I've been there.

Archaeologists in the 1800s put a lot of monuments back together and even partially rebuilt some. The Colossus on the our right obviously has had work done. The left maybe not.

The stuff around Luxor (Karnak, Valley of the Kings, Colossi of Memnon, Funerary Temple of Hapshepsut) looks very authentic - I think most of it survived although buried and needed propping back up at worst.

The stuff in Greece I saw this year was a joke by comparison and has very obviously been tampered with multiple times.

the thing about those Colossi is they look really OLD. like much older than most of the stuff in Egypt. maybe over 10000 years or older. and yeah, Egypt reigns supreme when it comes to ancient artifacts. its been theorized that Ancient Egypt was conquered by the same people who came from Atlantis after it was washed away.
