Thanks Jd755, collapsing coal mines, huh? What I like about the picture is that we can see two craters cut clean in half by what must be a stream or creek going across the middle of the page, so we can see what they are made of and what's below them.

I ran across this picture on an old computer, thought this thread was where it belonged. the caption was just "Kopki".

So it was not my intention to monopolize this thread and if my posts keep merging as they have been I will have a book written on here. Having said that, though... Lemme ax you dis... When we look at the stars through our personal viewing devices, such as telescopes, binoculars and cameras, we...

I don't have the answer and one can certainly smell something fishy, but I have a theory. Possibly this was a form of photography in which they did not have film, as we know it, that could change color when exposed to light. Instead they used something like a laser printer as you have suggested...

Thanks for the link and yes, I've looked into Da Vinci's incredible work before. I'll make a comment over there.

Well... until you zoomed in they could have been camels. I have to look at the rest of the detail in the picture though, for example the people, such as the ones riding the "dinos" look like orcs or zombies or ghosts. My thought is if that's as accurately as he could paint people then how can we...

Ahh...science, or is it Science? The only thing Einstein actually did IMHO, besides denying the aether I guess, was to remove science from the people. Before Einstein anybody could do science but after him only people who could do long formulas on the chalkboard and had lots of letters after...

I expected someone to come back with the "falling to the Earth" argument, which I consider to be just obfuscation or a muddying of the water. Why would something fall? What causes it to fall? The conventional theory is that things fall because a force called gravity pulls them down, such as in...

I'm sure the Navy had just bought up a huge number of 13 star flags and wanted to keep using them until "they were all used up". Kidding of course, do you think there could have only been 13 states up until what they are calling the Civil War? It seems strangely appropriate that the stars on the...

Ooooh...this is a subject I love. And let me say up front that I believe (know) that NASA is nothing but a lie machine. So let me get down to proving it. An object in motion tends to stay in motion, in the same direction and speed, unless affected by a force. When we look up at the moon, we know...

@jd755 No one said these artists were warriors! The mini cannon is interesting but I wonder about the holy man in white and the black eagle. The holy man seems to be trying to protect Alexander, if that's who that is, with "good magic" from the darkness of the evil bird. An indication of a...

The thing that strikes me like an elephant in the room that everyone is trying to ignore is the big horse's ass in the middle of the Alexander the Great floor tile art and the painting. It even has the tail up so we can see the anus. Why would you have that in the picture, particularly right in...

Very cool, Banta. With my motorcycle background I'm very familiar with managing weight while cornering and that was one of the problems I saw with the bicycle railroad. During cornering a large part of the weight of the vehicle would try to lean outward and would fall on that upper rail, making...

I thought this might make an interesting addition to this thread. I happened to watch this video and right at the 5:48 minute mark in the video, so right before the end, there's a shot of a train, a bottom monorail, cornering the way you would have to if you didn't want to have that upper...
