I thought it was a lion's head originally? I just find it interesting that the geologists (Schock and Reader) while quibbling over the date (and neither satisfying the Egyptologists in the process) use hard scientific principles to dispute the 4th Dynasty claims of the Egyptologists who, last I hea...

The guy was not a scientist, nor was he "fired." He was a technician working on contract and his contract was not renewed.

...The facts of the Pokotia stone are incredulous enough without running too far afield. I would like to hear your thoughts on the subject-I know you've got an opinion on it. I believe I already gave it, in the post where I chimed in on what I thought you meant by the "particular citation,&quo...

Whoa everybody - hold it. I've already said what I believe to be true, don't put any words in my mouth. I believe that Clyde Winters correctly translated inscriptions that he calls a proto-sumerian language. That's all. Well, Beagle. Okay then, what is "...the significance of that particular c...

All of history is interesting but I'm not grasping the significance of that particular citation to the issue. Min, I believe he's hinting around that ...After about 3250 BC, another people migrated from its homeland, located probably northeast of Mesopotamia, and began to intermarry with the native...

Well...he "came up" with it in the sense that he introduced that archaeologist and the loss of the city well within historical times. I, for one, believe that Plato was telling a story but the image of a nearby city disappearing beneath the sea was a powerful one to add in to the story. I...

I see that Marduk has asked you to be rude. Good boy. However, he has caused you to look foolish. We did not go "on and on" about the Sphinx and I only mentioned that the discussion had moved on to Colin Readers' article. I've told you that before and suggested you read it. Maybe I didn't...

You guys are still going on and on about water erosion in the Sphinx complex. Beating my head against the wall here, I guess, but I pointed out to you all last summer that Schoch's theory for the date of the Sphinx's construction in no way relies on rainfall. Not in any way shape or form. His entire...

Marduk,

Glad to see you ditched that horrible hairdo.

Almost pretty as me now.

Like I said earlier, a pseudoscientist is one that conveniently ignores the established facts in order to further his theory. -----Harte. Harte, in your universe, can there be any established facts? After all, you might be dreaming. Ahh. Excellent point! Exactly my own, in fact, so I'm seemingly ho...

The conference in Rome should be over by now. Hopefully their conclusions will be made public. If the list of "researchers" matches Marduk's hypothesis, then it's all probably a ruse that was set up by "the Club" to get all those guys under one roof in order to facilitate the im...

Harte. I agree with your first two paragraphs. On the third, I'm curious what you think these mysteries are. (And what you think the solutions might be.) I have no idea, and I will never find out if con men keep meddling in this field. The sorry truth is, there is just no "proof" at all o...

Being dispassionate is important because it allows you view facts and consider evidence without a preconcieved bias. Von Daniken is obviously a swiss clock, but he has a different "take" on things so maybe in the morass of moronity there might be a small jewel. Maybe by turning the jigsaw...

Just out of curiousity. Why is it trying "to weasel around the scientific barriers that have been pointed out" when a "Pseudoscientist" amends his idea, but the same act miraculously becomes "Modifying our theory in the light of new evidence" when a "Mainstream Sc...
