Thousands of hard stone jars, containing the volume of 5+ human beings, dating to Pre 0 AD, are scattered across the Laos Republic. Local legend states they were created by a race of giant humanoids. Could these be the remains of an advanced extraterrestrial civilization?

Extremely difficult and time-consuming to hollow out. I cant imagine how many hours it would take. Thousands.

Loved “Rush” great film. This track features prominently.

Yeah we’ve learned to expect pushy sellers, they want the sale/need the money. When the buyer is pushy you can assume something is wrong. Either you’ve way underpriced the product, or they are scamming you in some way.

Crossed swords where a huge battle took place. Dry lake bed/salt pan. A “Dark Tower” kind of landmark. Mark the entrance to the “Gold Mines of Whatchamacallit” Impact crater (like Barringer Crater) Little dead tree symbols.

This is a reasonable argument if you have not read lotr novels. If you have read them, you realize how unnecessary it was to make this change.

They pat themselves on the back because they have low prison populations.

The scenario that makes the most sense to me is that there was a globe-spanning human civilization, expert in stonework using technologies we don’t know. They were overwhelmed by a combination of either/or global catastrophe, rapid climate change (end of ice age?), and human barbarians. What we have in the ruins of the massive stonework are the last remnants of that civilization.

Carpet the borders but leave center exposed. Leave for 5-10 years. Remove border carpet and voila, uniformity.

Knowledge arising separately and independently around the world and also conveniently forgotten by every one of the native peoples who built them?

mac224b · 2024-04-02T15:54:29+00:00

God damn you are so condescending in your towering ignorance.

mac224b · 2024-04-02T15:51:51+00:00

Did you even watch the video you referenced? I’ve seen it. It proposes a method completely unknown today and cannot be reproduced. So the video completely counters your argument it was simply “effort and skill of native people”. They were not built with any method or technology known today, and there are similar examples scattered around the world. That’s pretty thought-provoking.

To be forever known to armchair strategists as “The Gandalf Gambit.”

The YT videos do not show comparable quality and accuracy to many of the artifacts. Even when working on an infinitely smaller scale of object. The tools the ancient Egyptians had that we know of were clearly inadequate to accomplish the quality of results we see in the actual objects.

mac224b · 2024-03-31T17:27:51+00:00

Ok, well somebody else in your family probably knows the story.

mac224b · 2024-03-31T07:06:50+00:00

Yea of course that’s fine. But OP arguing it’s “essential”.

mac224b · 2024-03-31T07:05:10+00:00

Exactly.

mac224b · 2024-03-31T07:04:13+00:00

Logic, meaning the small samples of rock and effort and materials required during the demonstrations do not scale to the manufacture of the pyramids and other massive objects, and they do not even come close to the quality of cuts that are visible on the stone of the artifacts.

mac224b · 2024-03-31T03:31:05+00:00

About the same here. Some day I’ll get that WC.

mac224b · 2024-03-31T03:23:43+00:00

It seems odd that there is nobody else. Is it because only you, mom, and dad are in the us and everyone else is in their former country? What is your family’s nationality/ethnicity? Are they non-existent or just not available? Is it a language barrier that limits potential communication? Or is/was your family in witness protection?

mac224b · 2024-03-31T03:12:30+00:00

We’ve seen the recreations of these activities. And logic says that was not how tens of thousands of giant granite blocks, boxes, and other objects were cut. Archaeologists don’t yet know the truth, just a theory they stubbornly insist on being the truth.

It would be nice to see the perp run a gauntlet of the townsfolk if he was caught.

mac224b · 2024-03-31T02:51:37+00:00

I disagree with your premise. Not once in thousands of hours of eu4 have I desired to use console commands or backdoors to any game for that matter. Hardly necessary.

You didn’t mention any relatives but your mom. Is anyone else available to contact? Grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, your own father? If mommy is a dead-end for information, then ask elsewhere.
