    I was stationed at Edwards Air Force Base in the Mojave desert. We actually saw "sailing rocks" sail. They didn't need ice. The dry lake bed (Rogers) would get wet at night from condensation and make the surface have a kind of slimy mud. Any kind of wind could make the rocks move. It was even hard to walk on when it got like that but you could run and then slide for a great distance. It cracked me up that this was considered a big mystery.

You also should know that blaming children for the actions of their parents & the adults making the decisions isn't the moral gotcha you seem to think. Blaming a young girl who had zero choice in who she was born to & zero influence to effect any kind of change in circumstances for herself let alone anyone else around her is kind of unhinged ngl. Her entire short life was controlled in every single aspect, right up to who she'd have eventually been forced to marry had she lived & then her husband would have controlled what she did. While the cage may have been guilded & the food might have been good, a prison is still a prison.

The deaths in his country were the result of him and since crowns are hereditary each son was a chance to go back to tsarist monarchy system, whitewashed by cinema like if it were ok to have a dictatorship as long as you give it back to you son when you die. Nobody is justifing the death of an inocent child, but it sounds to me like feeling pity for Eva Brown or Mussolini's wife during world war ii, showing more empathy towards a 1% of incredibly rich and fortunate parasites because they died with a famous name after ruining countries were millions died nameless in a ditch during famine and wars.

    I paused the video at Troy because it didn't go into Heinrich Schliemann at all. He was a speculator, got rich from luck and war profiteering, and like nearly all early "archaeologists," was something of a grifter. Sure, as the video says, he discovered the nine levels of the city of Troy, after he profited off of another, poorer, actual amateur archaeologist's work -- I was amazed the video even mentioned the guy who actually deserved the credit -- but after Schliemann began excavating, he utterly destroyed the historical city of Troy by using dynamite. He wrongly believed, for no real reason, that the city of Hector and Priam would be the lowest layer, so he dynamite right down through all the layers to get to it, destroying the entire site in the process, including level six, which is believed to be the actual right time period for the Trojan war.
    He then found some gold and jewels on the bottom layer, smuggled them out of the country, called them Priam's treasure, and then had his wife wearing them as bling at parties all over England. And this guy has been touted as "the father of archaeology" for decades. Meanwhile, this is only the worst of his atrocities, as it's suspected that he purchased antiquities from elsewhere and then passed them off as artifacts of important figures in history, such as the mask of Agamemnon, and the bust of Cleopatra, solely to aggrandize himself.
    Anyway ... now you know how to make an archaeology grad angry. Bring up Schliemann...

      The problem isnt that the disasters happen, its that planes and ships flat out vanish with no warning or anything. And there is still a very scientific reason being bandied about right now, hydrogen gas. There is a bunch of frozen gas at the bottom of the ocean in that are, sometimes it thaws and releases into the water, that would kill the buoyance of ships sinking em like rocks and would also take out the engines on any plane caught in the gas once it leaves the water and gets into the air. Hard for people to give out maydays when they are sank/crashed faster than they can respond.

      The settlers moved inland, left a note even in the tree stating such, then made a life coinciding with the natives in the area. It's actually not all that mysterious but historically the records were incredibly biased against the indigenous people, and portraying them as anything other than "savages" was not part of the narrative.

It makes sense that they were buried in the same Tower they were hiding in - because the Tudor soldiers were all over the property. Potential witnesses to seeing them alive.
      In order to blame Richard, they had to be killed in the same place they were found cowering. Their bodies couldn't leave the building or else people would know.

      Yup, how did they get the stones on the skiffs, how did they lift them into the area to place them, how did they cut them so precisely, how did they get enough water to move that much that far? Moving a 1 ton skiff isnt much, but when you put a 100 ton stone on it things change rapidly, and a bit of water wont be making much of a difference at that point.

    • @kosaba11
      @kosaba11 8 หลายเดือนก่อน

      @@dalehammers4425 The answer to all your points can be answered when you remember the purpose of the pyramids - they're giant tombs for the pharaohs of Egypt. With that in mind, you should be able to imagine that it wouldn't be just 10 or so people moving stone, but hundreds.
      For your question of how they got the stones onto the skiffs, that's simple. While a theory, should be too hard to imagine a few hundred workers / slaves, along with their field animals, like their oxen, donkey's, etc., flipping the stones, after they've been cut, onto the skiffs. And there are various methods they could use - the workers / slaves on side, pushing it, while the oxen pull from the other side with ropes to flip it over, for example.
      As for the water problem - they really wouldn't need it. Ox can pull equal to, or greater to their weight. Your average ox can weight more than a tone. With the stone on a skiff, it would make it easy for the oxen, along with people, to pull the stones. Now, I'll grant you, the process would likely have slowed immensely as the pyramid got larger, but it would still be doable.
      As for the cutting of the stones - if you actually look at the stones of a pyramid, they're pretty rough. The answer to this is simple - craftsmen have been able to carve intricate designs with ease since before Ancient Egypt - you really think making a semi-perfect cube or rectangular prism would be difficult?

    Regarding #12: We do know (now) how the Moai were moved form the quaries to where they were errected: the Rapa Nui "walked" then to their place by wrapping a rope aorund the head, and then have a group of at least ten people on either side pull and release respectively, to wobble the carved monolith. They'd take side steps with each tilt of the monolith in their respective direction, to get it to move foreward. There's a few videos of researchers demonstrating this technique around youtube. But the frustrating part about it is, that all the first europeans who were wondering about how the monoliths got to their pedestals from the quary had to do, was actually _listen_ to the Rapa Nui when they told the europeans that they walked the statues to their place, and not dismiss that as superstious talk.

    10) That is not the whole mystery of what happened to the Franklin expedition: what has been found only shows the fate of the members who were left behind because sick or injured; nobody knows what really happened to the majority of the two ships’ crew (the two ships themselves have never been found either if I recall correctly), that’s still a complete mystery.
    4) As for the Mohai and the Mayan pre-spanish collpase, that’s just the latest theory (which its inventor/discoverer boasted is the final solution) in the string. We do *not* yet know *for sure* how the pyramids were built.

    The Bermuda Triangle. Ships and planes disappear without a trace. This is mysterious because there is almost always some kind wreckage left behind when a ship sinks. In 1945, 5 TBM Avenger torpedo bombers, and a Martin Mariner seaplane, disappeared off the coast of Florida. Despite a massive search, no trace of them was found. No floating debris, no oil slick, nothing. It was a routine training mission. For some reason compasses failed to give them direction.

      They've tested many times and found for planes specifically, it's no different than any other patch of ocean the same size for # of planes missing. And there is tons of wreckage for the boats lost in the triangle - it's believed those 5 planes were NO WHERE NEAR Florida and that their navigation was of. They have recently found evidence of strange planes they believe might be Flight 19

      It has an insanely high traffic frequency, rough temperamental weather and lots of "smaller" planes and ships.
      All those things mean the accident rates are higher.
      Go look at the Great Lakes if you want suspicious shipwrecks.
