Barry Foster posted:Interesting Emotions are energy. Anger, love, hate... all these things motivate you to take some action. Feeling nothing at all is dhedonia or depression, and means you don't do anything. In the physical world this emotional energy is metaphorical. In the spiritual world this energy is literal. When you love thing you form a positive emotional attachment to that thing. When you fear something you form a negative emotional attachment to it. All forms of attachment count as consent for further interaction because they represent spiritual connections, or bonds, between yourself and that which you love/fear, and the more strongly you feel the more energy flows through these bonds. Cut away that attachment and you set yourself free.

I did a deep dive into Egyptology before my trip, and the explanations mainstream archeology gives for Giza are laughable in context of their civilization, even beyond simple technological arguments.

we already know half a dozen different ways the pyramids could have been built with the technology of the time, even if we never learn precisely which it was the more interesting questions imo focus on the why

Wheeee posted:we already know half a dozen different ways the pyramids could have been built with the technology of the time, even if we never learn precisely which it was the more interesting questions imo focus on the why Humans like to focus on the "how" because you can usually puzzle that out with simple engineering and it ties things up in a nice neat bow without rocking the boat of a fairly long-lived social and belief structure which is currently entering the terminal stages. Asking "why" generates too many uncomfortable loose ends in a society which relies on a very rigid interpretation of pretty much everything, and makes people think a little bit too much about the established historical narrative which supports the power structure of our civilization. [url=https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2021/11/graeber-wengrow-dawn-of-everything-history-humanity/620177/[/url] quote:For generations, our remote ancestors have been cast as primitive and childlike--either free and equal innocents, or thuggish and warlike. Civilization, we are told, could be achieved only by sacrificing those original freedoms or, alternatively, by taming our baser instincts. David Graeber and David Wengrow show how such theories first emerged in the eighteenth century as a conservative reaction to powerful critiques of European society posed by Indigenous observers and intellectuals. Revisiting this encounter has startling implications for how we make sense of human history today, including the origins of farming, property, cities, democracy, slavery, and civilization itself. I strongly endorse reading everything David Graeber wrote during his lifetime. I'm firmly of the belief that Physics research has stagnated for the better part of thirty years because modern society has strangled creativity to death in the pursuit of trying to fit all of reality into the rigid dogma framework which supports the power structure of oligarchical consumer-capitalism.

See this is good. If you start thinking about the structure of the organizations involved in bird stuff and apply this logic, you see that they don't actually need to do super secret Machiavellian poo poo for decades to suppress information. Instead it gets taken care of like every other problem, by creating an intellectual environment such that people don't want to know. D&d operates on the same principle. It also makes me doubt that any government agency has functioning esp operators; the nature of the institution would make it impossible to cultivate the mindset needed to progress. Anyone both willing and able to give it a go would've gotten fired or fragged years ago.

I know the pyramids were really built by Joseph for grain storage but what else? this thread hasn't veered into alternative history/archeology outside the mainstream much but it seems like a decent place for it, with the caveat that it's often utter nonsense mudflood! mud-flood!

Spirituality is an exploration of an inner reality, if you don't figure it out yourself it's worthless because it isn't really you. It's traditional for really spiritual types to gently caress off to the wilderness, or suffer a great deal, or be very isolated in their life, because isolation is necessary to find that which is authentically you and yours, and pain gives you the willpower you need to keep these convictions when you return to regular life. Now imagine getting a bunch of people who are all like this together, all of them strong-willed enough to have rejected conventional beliefs like "aliens aren't real", all of them with their own idiosyncratic understanding of reality that is deeply personally meaningful and reinforced by all sorts of painful experiences.

my bony fealty posted:anubis posting? would they have been able to create a stone face that large/long that could actually support itself tho? like i have no idea what the shearing and tensile strength of the stones used in the sphinx are but that looks like something that would be tricky to pull off with modern concrete maybe the sphinx was originally planned as an anubis but halfway into making the head it all fell apart and they were just like ‘welp gently caress it’ and settled on the lil shrunken head

 maybe the head was angled down more so that when you stood in front of the paws then Anubis would be giving you the stink-eye directly (through eyes made of giant rubies). it should be easier to counter-balance the head as well at such a reduced angle. fake edit: the shaft on the tip-top of the sphinx's head was actually originally for providing structure and support for the Anubisian ear structure

There are some who believe the sphinx is much much older than currently claimed. Their main evidence is that there is clear water erosion on parts of it that would require much more time to erode that much with the sparse rainfall of the area in the past few thousand years than the claimed age of the sphinx. The egyptologists are the original NDT brain though and refuse the evidence. There is one guy that has spoken at archeological conferences before and he does a presentation with photos of the erosion up close without anything identifying it as the sphinx and he was like "would everybody agree this shows water erosion blah blah blah" and like 200 archeologists all nod in agreement then he goes to the next slide and shows that it was a close up of the sphinx and they get PISSED and he gets kicked out.

Inspector Hound posted:It's intriguing, but where did any of the pieces go and why aren't there drawings of it like that from antiquity i suspect the idea is that this was very very old. the timescale of egyptian civilization is immense in a way that we barely have a reference frame for. the span of time from the classical era to now is roughly 60% of the time from the earliest recognizably-ancient-egyptian dynasty to the classical era. it's not at all implausible for absolutely no record to exist of enormous buildings and monuments from that time i'm not saying i believe it, but it's not really that crazy
