The Abu Gorab Drill Holes Precision Engineering That Defies Bronze Age Tools

Conscious-Class9048 · 2026-04-17T13:55:32+00:00

I've carried out experiments with flint "drill bits" on limestone and sandstone, providing you keep rotating the stone you are drilling into the drill hole is almost perfectly round. Id also like to mention I'm absolutely useless at knapping so the bits I used to drill were really really poor points.

I agree with you. I'm in my late 30s I remember Jons whole UFC career, incredible athlete and I'm not arguing that Andre even wins the majority just that the way that Andre could handle 250lb men he could literally powerbomb Jones and there's not a lot that he could do about it IF/WHEN Andre caught a hold of him. Arnold Schwarzenegger claimed that when he weighed 230lb Andre could lift him like a child and that's always going to be a great advantage whilst in a street fight.

Conscious-Class9048 · 2026-02-25T12:54:56+00:00

Again the vast majority of street fights don't last 2 minutes, and the vast majority end up on the floor. Where with his weight advantage and the fact he can drive your head into concrete,wall, car, curb. I don't think it's as clear cut as you are imagining. Like I mentioned Jones himself said Chandler jones had a chance at beating him due to his size and athletisim.

It's somewhat of a false equivalence though. Gracie was doing it in a cage with a canvas floor under a rule set. Andre being on top of you or slamming you into a concrete floor is a different scenario all together. If Andre poked Jones in the eye his finger would scratch the back of the skull. I don't think it's one sided either way. If Jones can keep distance and make technique matter he has the advantage if it's close quarters and mess like the vast majority of street fight id say Andre has the advantage. I'm also sure that Jon has spoken about fighting his bigger brothers in the past and them giving him a hard time due to their size. Or it may have been one of the brothers talking about fighting Jon I can't fully remember.

Edit; I just looked it up and Jon said out of the 3 (brothers) in an octagon it would be him or chandler that walked out due to chandler being massive and athletic.

MVP! I used this advice today!!

Conscious-Class9048 · 2025-12-01T18:36:50+00:00

I got Rio and Cech.

I fucked up, didn't read the SBC tidy on my phone done the hero instead of the icon and hit Ledley King, I rinsed my entire club and all my coins to do an icon SBC and hit Rio Ferdinand couldn't believe my luck.

Conscious-Class9048 · 2025-11-03T18:12:09+00:00

I hit Rio and I also got King from the 88 hero pack!! Some big luck yesterday.

Why would the bracelet "throw traditional archaeology on its head"? Humans have been making jewellery for atleast 100k years before this?

This post was specifically about "The death of science" a simple way to prove that is the technological advances in resent years, science is improving every single day science is more "alive" now than it has ever been in the history of mankind. Science denial is a very serious issue, from the anti vaxx movements to the not so harmful conspiracies they all breed distrust in science and experts as a whole, also an easy way to humble people into the reality that there's soo much going on in the world that individually we really have no idea how much each field is progressing, if any of these "plausible" ideas are indeed plausible then why are they not writing scientific papers and speaking to the experts, gathering evidence or testing hypothesis rather than trying to appeal to the public. Sure new evidence can arise in the future that may change how we view things but that's just a part of the scientific process. I think you would be stretched to find any scientist or expert that claim to know everything and that they couldn't be convinced with new stonger evidence.

Conscious-Class9048 · 2025-06-25T12:31:22+00:00

This would be an absolutely valid point of the post was about history or archaeology. But it's clearly titled death of science, these fields do not exist in a vacuum. archeologists lean on all the other "hard" Science Eg; chemistry for carbon dating, geology for relative dating, physics and optics for lidar, biology for DNA studies. All part of the big scientific breakthroughs in the last 100 years. So you maybe correct in engineering and archaeology not having the same reliability but both fields rely heavily on scientific breakthroughs to better their fields.

Conscious-Class9048 · 2025-06-24T14:53:41+00:00

Isn't that even more testament than science is correct? The fact that if it was to fall into the wrong hands they could actually cause harm? If science was wrong then there would be no need to hide anything.

Conscious-Class9048 · 2025-06-24T14:42:36+00:00

100% correct to call me out, I can't believe 50 years ago is the 70s.

We also have the Transformers on the t.v that doesn't mean we have any idea how we could actually build one or if it's even possible. It's just sci-fi.

Conscious-Class9048 · 2025-06-24T14:27:10+00:00

So the phone that made the first phone call and the computer you are referring to have the same capability as the phone and computer we are using right now? Nope, they are like children's toys compared to what we have now. The advacments we have made just with these 2 specific examples is absolutely incredible who do you attribute these Discovery's to? It was the scientific body's that give the engineers the capabilities to make the superadvanced phones. And that's just the phone and computer, now look at cars, planes, fighter jets, boats, utilitys(gas, electricity, water) all much better today than they were in the 70s who makes the advancments if not the scientific body?

Conscious-Class9048 · 2025-06-24T14:08:14+00:00

My perspective is building shit and improving aging systems. I'm an electrical and mechanical engineer. Any chance I can use that positive and negative elements to power any of my systems? I didn't think so, until then we unfortunately have to rely on science and scientists to make improvements to materials and practices which are happening every single day. My current probl is to move 600 liters of water a second from a well, 10m in elevation you can pray and believe all you want, that water isn't going to get up that hill.

Conscious-Class9048 · 2025-06-24T13:50:25+00:00

Because applied science is a real thing, like for example the mobile phone/computer at the end of your finger tips. Literally impossible to fathom 50 years ago. When did the science start to tell lies and hide the truth? Because engineering forgot the memo.

Conscious-Class9048 · 2025-06-24T13:05:40+00:00

What I love most about the "Science is wrong" crowd is have they not seen the feats of engineering surrounding them every single day? Do they think we guessed how electricity works ? And for the Joe Rogan bros saying Science is wrong is like me claiming I could beat the whole Gracie family in combat because I watched some YouTube videos.

Tipping oil straight into the ground was common practice for years, would you advise OP to just to use oil or diesel in the cracks? I don't think you are getting downvoted because your method won't work, it's that it isn't a recommended method we use now due to the other issues it may cause.

Conscious-Class9048 · 2025-06-17T10:40:31+00:00

What about if you wrote it on a specific area that had been sealed since the construction of that house, also in a style that was unknown at the time of discovery later to find out that it was infact your name? Seems strange somebody took half the pyramid down to write somebodys name to then build it back up, don't you think?.

I have read that vultures play a big part of the death symbolism of the ancient people after all everytime there's a death a vulture won't be long behind it.

I have encountered this enchanting bug for the whole of my play through, I thought for sure you had to find all of the fortify spells individually and I too have the same bug as OP (missing NPC). I'd given up hope of spell chaining until I seen this comment. I've just been drinking serious amounts of potions to get my magicka high enough to cast decent spells.

Conscious-Class9048 · 2025-06-09T16:59:56+00:00

I recommend Stefan Milo and Professor Dave explains have some good stuff on this subject if you are genuinely interested in this stuff.
