  1. Only fair that Egyptian's go and dig up Stone Henge and see what is under it...I guess. Then keep the original stones.

  3. Yeah, we do it with beer mugs so how has anything changed?

  4. Tut was a transitional king. The old king Akenaten was mostly erased from history. But with rock carvings everywhere that is impossible to do.100% Old King brought single god concept into being. Nefertiti was his wife. Much of the stuff was meant for Nefertiti as boys did not have holes in their earlobes. His Death Mask has holes in the Earlobes. His burial chamber was not that of a king as it was small and too low down, meaning a lower noble who had his box cut out already, so it was pilfered for a quick burial...before the seasonal rains flood the valley. Once buried and then flooded over, he was forgotten about.

  5. it is assumed you know they are hoping and guessing. It could be the butler.

  6. Maya: Hold fire higher so we can dig deeper.

  7. Most of them rest in pieces. Bandages need changing time. How about we try "Spandex"?

  8. And yet termites got inside? Good seal job mates. So they figure out the shape of stuff by the shape of termite schit? Sounds like a fun job. I would rather watch grass grow.

  9. I would not say here. but in their bigger cities about the time just before the Spanish came, they had like 4 pyramids and were grabbing the "beating hearts" out of willing people that climbed the stairs to the top...like 60,000 people at one temple x4=they were running with rivers of blood. Within a few days. "Hold up, I broke a nail" Really, I read it elsewhere a while ago so no link. There were few Maya to fight the Aztecs.

  10. No different than Western Line dancing.

  12. Maya: skinny cat means he did not eat yo'fat mama. It is the fat ones you got to look for to find the Maya people.

  13. They are always working on restorations everywhere because there is so much.

  14. They show the entrance to King Tut's tomb(which is a lower class nobleman's tomb already to be used as where Tut was STUFFED was small. They should have shown Rameses 2nd tomb as he lived until he was 87. So they had plenty of time to build his tomb. Ramses built tombs for his younger sons who died before him(average life was maybe 30) so Ramses II was known as the only ruler by many generations.

  15. They still have not fully unpacked since the initially discovery.

  16. Egypt is a poor country so it did not have the best museum(just a warehouse) so it took them awhile to build something WORTHY to hold the artifacts in a large enough building. So it is in climate controlled environment to stop further degradation. Pieces are still being studied with the latest with modern non destructive methods. They have an Ultra sound scanner on site just for checking out pieces and other high tech equipment. NOW. The British were not the only people looking. Every nationality was looking except Egypt.(They have looked at it daily and there is TONS OF STUFF.) even after tons of stuff got legs and walked off. It was like, we got more. They used to use mummies as firewood. So many were found. Now they are trying to reclaim all the pieces they can find to put in their museum. Which will be hard to get from private collectors. Can't change the past. It costs big money to do this searching and keeping it in a better museum meant the U.K. or Germany or some other country. It seems the Egyptians did not care about their past...that much, because it is in their back yard. The study of Egyptology was started by Europeans.

  17. I found it interesting when they said they smashed pots as an offering to the Gods. Egypt did the same thing. Either the archeologists got it wrong or got their mind set stuck in one track. Or maybe the Egyptians did sail across the Atlantic Ocean to S. America.(which would explain the carving of African type features (big lips) on some of their statues and the pyramids.

  18. Kim Xi, Trump, Putin...Frankenstein all can Snow Board. Photoshop does it so well.

  19. HOWEVER; the campfires are cold, very cold so no one has been here in a long time. The artifact could be a cheap fishing weight. I know, I use rocks and tie it to my fishing line. Atlantis was not that FAR ADVANCED or they would have figured out they were going to sink out of sight. What would be real funny is to see Greek fishing boats going out at night to drop off rock and old pottery(amphora's ) where these guys are looking. It is not deep, so they can see to the bottom and place stuff in exact spots to make it look like a city once was there. "Just to 'mess' with them. (It will increase tourism dollars.) . we need Better Underwater equipment like fish gills

  20.  @LeathafaceTV  Dioxins (a chemical poison) is probably the worst thing we have invented and put into the environment.(Agent Orange) It is passed on to our siblings. We are ruining the environment. Not only do we need trees to filter the air, but we need healthy oceans for the plankton to filter out the air and there is WAY more ocean than land mass. We are creating "dead zones" in the ocean where it kills the micro-organisms. That is not good with all the effluent waste we flush into the rivers that go into the oceans. We are schitting on the only planet we can live on. We can do better.

  21.  @hydrolito  Bridges have a limited life span of 50 years, buildings are outdated in 50 years so are torn down and replaced or are continually maintained. RR tracks are torn up all the time and the land sold off as rail becomes outdated mode of transportation, making way for Jets. and highway transport. Be amazed what "implosions" are done to level a building and then bulldozers are in there to clean up the mess for a new building.

  22.  @f7holdings653  Tablet describes a certain size 7 - 10" You got lousy signal strength as I do not have to LOOK for it.(internal antennae is skookum enough) Looking for a stronger signal is not going to happen.

  23. Highly doubtful because WE tear down structures and build new ones where the old one was like every 50 or 100 years. What do we build that is permanent?

  24. I believe there is an episode where they got different data from a different source...a ham radio operator getting a basic "ping" which leads them to a "different part of the ocean". I have to find the YT issue? that has it.

  25. What I find interesting is that the TERMITES did not get to it as it has for every other site.

  26. Like Ramses II He reigned for 67 years . He lived till he was 92 so he buried many of his sons who died earlier. They are all buried in the biggest tomb to date.(I forgot the number of the tomb) Ramses II tomb was robbed by the guys who dug the tomb. or the priests of the time.

  27. Give me a "boom boom stick"....= - and now it is time to reassemble the crater

  28. you won't be a tourist. You will be a slave. You will tire of that real fast.

  29. You DO REALIZE THERE IS VALUE TO DIRT so they will take that too, right?

  30. Probably because no one wanted to cut out a "Storage Room"? Or did they?

  31. "Permit" I applied for and waited for 3 years to get approval. Not free. & restricts me on what I can do.

  32. Nobody is allowed out at the dig sites as they are dangerous dark pits...and too much sand storms and floods and people have cheap GPS so get lost. The tomb is moved into a Billion$ building with A/C so all the people can see and the Pharaoh lives on 4 eternity. Except, now U pay to see him, so he is collecting money even when dead.(now THAT IS "POWER") The finds are stabilized and termites eradicated(as they don't give a poo who they eat)

  33. Which Cleo? As there were 5 of them? Just as there was more than one Ramses(4) I think. Seems coming up with a name was the difficulty, so "lets use a popular old one". Mind you how we pronounce it in English is not how they pronounce it in Ancient Egyptian language. Nobody knows how the language sounded. No CD or audio tapes were left behind. How it is pronounce in Rome would be "Latin" language. The Brits say it differently than the French or the Germans or the Polish. . Remember, this carried on into Britain, "Henry the 8th I am". and in Rome as Caesar never died out instantly and lives on in his salad dressing.
