@TheProjectUnity One of the UK’s most remarkable pubs: Manchester’s Old Wellington Inn, built in 1552. Raised in the 1970s, then dismantled and moved after the 1996 bombing. Rebuilt in 1999. I took this photo in April 2012 — 460 years of history behind that pint. Photo taken in 2012 by me, old
@zachariaspro I can clearly see the Richat Structure, also known as the “Eye of the Sahara”, linked to the legendary Atlantis described by Plato and @BrightInsight6
@derek__olson I asked Grok, and here is the answer: 🤡
Archaeologists, particularly Jean-Pierre Protzen (who studied Ollantaytambo in detail and ran practical experiments), have reconstructed the main processes using the tools and materials available to the Incas
This is Sumela Monastery, one of the oldest in the Christian world. Carved into a cliff in northern Turkey in AD 386, it has clung to this rock face for more than 1,600 years.
It’s older than the fall of the Roman Empire.
In the Epic of Gilgamesh, Gilgamesh, the fifth king of the First Dynasty of Uruk, seeks out Utnapishtim to ask him about immortality. Utnapishtim is the hero who survived the Great Flood, much like Noah in the Bible.
This makes Gilgamesh a postdiluvian king. However, in the Second Temple period Book of Giants, Gilgamesh is identified as one of the Giants, or Nephilim.
There is also a leaked email from the Podesta files that mentions an inquiry about the alleged discovery of the grave of Gilgamesh the Giant in Iraq, with Hillary Clinton's name appearing in the correspondence.
It's a wild story.
Another work in progress shot from one of my favorite nebulae close to the core of our galaxy from our vantage point.
I'll be capturing it like this every night for weeks in hopes to get an incredibly detailed photo when finished!
Humans lived as hunter-gatherers for around 300,000 years, and the skill they left behind is far greater than the word primitive suggests.
The famous studies of foraging groups found they spent only about 15 to 20 hours a week getting food, which left long stretches of the day to do as they liked.
🔹Painted cave art
🔹A five-holed bone flute
🔹Shell beads drilled and threaded
🔹Tools far finer than survival ever needed
🔹Some of it tens of thousands of years before writing
The cave art at sites like Chauvet uses perspective and shading, and replicas of the bone flutes play clear musical notes, so this was not crude scratching but people who knew what they were doing.
They were us, with the same brain and the same hands, living this way for around 300,000 years, roughly 30 times longer than farming has existed.
What we dug up is only the stone and bone, while everything they made from wood, hide, fibre and song simply rotted away.
What lasted is the part that could not rot, the rest is gone.
So how much of what they were really capable of are we never going to see?
@Megalithic12000 Same with us in the near future as things are going... and we don't even know our recent history. Humans are the solution and the problem of ourselves.
