The Paranormal, UFO's, and Mysteries of the Unknown

One of my fav channels Top 5s just dropped this today. if you got 3 hours to kill.

please take this faggotry to the proper thread.
Amod please help.

ancient egypt

ancient Peru

ancient Japan

ancient Easter Island

Modern England


Dry Stone Walling

It's just an efficient way to build walls if you use the existing shape of the rock rather than standardise the shape/size.

Now shepherds in the UK don't give a shit how pretty it looks so it's quite rustic, but literally the entire British countryside is crisscrossed with these things diving up farmer's property.

The ancient ones above DID care about how it looked but didn't have the tech to easily standardise the shape/size so they just smoothed them out, it does seem like they had the tech to move them though.

thats some shit tier wall building, they are also a completely diferent manner of construction. lacking any polygonal form whatsoever. the ploygonal construction isnt just "pretty", its an effective method of earthquake proofing.

I mean it’s fun to think about, but I think Occam’s razor points towards walls are a universal structure and stacking complementary shaped rocks together is much less effort than making big rocks into smaller, uniform rocks. I’ll entertain the idea that the technique was distributed by a single origin, but that doesn’t imply that the walls were constructed simultaneously or by the same civilization.

its really not a universal structure, its a very specific method of construction. occam's razor would have mud bricks of the same size mold being produced. these ancient examples are hard stones shaped to fit other carfully shaped stones for a very fine joinery. completely different things than what we have now and they were far superior to what we use now.

no zerg, this is just amatauer hour attempts at debunking ancient high tech with ridiculous examples.
