It’s my belief that while liquid mercury was known as a by product of what the ancients primarily used Cinnabar for, the production of Cinnabar primarily to create liquid mercury came after the pyramids’ period. Sure, the ancients would have viewed mercury as a ‘mystery’ and as such, would have been sought after by mystics and the socially elite.
So, production that would have filled cavities large enough to be classified as ‘swimming pool’ or even as large as my hot tub seems incredulous. Add the tie in to ‘pyramids’ (
said in a mysterious voice)?? Sure, I’m a skeptic. How many lbs of cinnabar ore is needed to create a gallon of liquid mercury? Now think about the process required.
Were the mercury pools made before all of the deep subterranean structures hidden under the pyramids or part of the pyramid construction?
How’s that?
