Egyptologist, or whatever name they Grandstanded or claim for themselves -
Will assert that the falling down, or Steped pyramid was their first attempt at building one.
I say look at it this way,- it was an attempt to build what was already there.To imitate or duplicate. They failed, could not do it.
So they made the tombs next to the pyramids instead.
Called it "gooder enough."

With the discovery of the Pyramids Antarctica, it is truly showing history is not at all as it is has been taught.
It is more then interesting to watch one side spar with the other about if they are real or not.
What are they so scared of?

No matter how the math is done, they would take longer to build then most of the royalty lived.
It would seem we could not ever genetically regress to what we never were unless we had been there before.
There are about 365 days to a year, yet we can quite EZ see how there could have been 360 days as in a perfect circle.
The speed of light may be fast but it is even a slow way to transverse the universe.
I am so confused........
How do you understand the equations and postulations?
As I recall my first grade crisis of awaking...............

1. Do you start counting at zero or one, the Chinese Abacus in class saved me.

2. 24 hours in a day, why only 12 hours on a clock face?

3. Seven days a week, Sunday is the first day? Sure feels and acts like the last day.

4. The alphabet didn't seem efficient, why was it so complicated? Only the letter "O" looked like how it would sound but it's evil doppelganger zero would masquerade as it.

There we many many more, but I'm to tired or old to remember them all right now.

I suspect writing, like a lot of other inventions, didn't come along until it was needed. If everyone you know is within earshot, why take time off from eating and breeding to do something as useless as write?
In about 300 AD an ancient race called the Armenians finally got around to creating their own alphabet to copy this new book going around called "The Bible". It caught on quickly, the king declared it the national religion and they became the first official Christian Nation.

Unless there is a need, it does not get done - just an example.

Hey now, doan be dissin the whole oak island thing.

Recognize this guy?



Captain Kidd buried his treasure there long ago in the late 1600s. It was found and recovered by the McGuinness brothers in the late 1700s.

But that was never proven, and lots and lots of people figured it was still there or there was more that hadn't been found yet so they kept looking. There was never a mining operation, it has ALWAYS been a treasure hunt.

Hmm.

Hadn't heard of these pyramids, pray tell more?

Under the ice Antartica bears the terrain of former river valleys.

There once was significant life in the region now so inhospitable.

There are ancient and accurate maps of Antartica.

But I had not heard of pyramids.

There seemed to be links for and against, but not in language that gives me trust of either position.

Here is an article I do not wholly agree with, but find it raises some interesting points.

https://www.lewrockwell.com/2014/07/christopher-condon/was-there-an-ancient-civilization-on-antarctica/

I favor those that do not speak in absolutes, but rather ensure their audience knows we are in speculative territory.

This is in a large part because I have great uncle that was in charge of digs in many parts of the world, and have listened to him.

The evidence is not as straight cut for our ideas as schools tend to give it to students. Perhaps we are too uncomfortable with the truth of our ignorance.

Antarctic Mysteries


Hop on over to Google Maps and you’ll see the alleged pyramid everyone is talking about, located at the coordinates 79°58’39.2″S 81°57’32.2″W. Three other “pyramids” surround it.

They are there OK
It is the argument if they are natural formations or built.

Why do you consider this contradictory?
writing is correlated w/ increasing population density(town/cities) and growing interdependence between the inhabitants of the towns/cities. A small # of the inhabitants were the first to have enough leisure time to figure some more intellectual things out, things like writing and math, The first writing was likely related to inventory control or taxation. Our current Hindu-Arabic numeration system dates from only ~ AD 700, ~1300 years ago

I don't necessarily think of it as contradictory any more. In just a few more years at the present pace, written words will be very few.
Today's kids can't even scribble a word!
So, if a civilization was advanced millenniums back- perhaps there was no need for a written word.

The written word generally includes electronic data. The more people the more need for writing. Even the cave folk wrote on the walls of their abodes, though most would consider that to be some form of art rather than writing the way we think of it, but the point is certainly debatable.

Think before the caveman. ( I doubt doubt there was much to them anyway)
Ask most people how old the earth is- You will get the deer on the headlights
The point being is the people that run the teaching and history industry have confined themselves to a very narrow scope of thinking.
10k years back is not even a thought of a dewdrop on the scales of time.
One would have to use a 1ooK year scale just to see a whole paragraph of what went on here.
postulations, assumptions abound.
Pre Adamic is getting to be a pretty common word also.
At some point, the pandora box will get opened to human history and we are going to be amazed.
We will find out perhaps why some of us still have the neanderthal gene and or Neg RH
Some people More vertebra then others.
It is pretty simple to tumble to we to -We generate from just one human family tree but rather a combination thereof.

Where are the splits?
No one knows yet, but it would have to be back past the Troglodyte populace as that is just one genre of the limbs

They are right next to the Nazi submarine bases in New Swabia.

Yes, there are a few mountain peaks that in some pictures show a pyramid shape, I made the assumption you were not talking about totally unremarkable mountain formations, more the classic man built pyramid

The "caveman" as he is often called was a Homo sapiens. Yea, Neanderthals were pushed out of existence. Some did evidently breed with humans before they vanished.

Fact is, the first Home Sapiens if plucked out of time at the dawn of mankind is no different that the rest of us. The total population of humans back then was low. Over 5300 years ago, Ötzi the Iceman as we now call him lived with more advanced tools than we thought they had back then. He has taught us a lot about that era of humans. Many textbooks were rewritten because of what we learned for just that one rare example.

We really don't know if they had much written language. It would have to be chiseled in stone to survive 6,000 years unless it happened to be caught in a glacier like Ötzi and that is exceeding rare.

Before the dawn of modern humans the lineage goes back until the emergence of H. erectus 1.89 million years ago and then hominids grew tall, evolved long legs and became completely terrestrial creatures.

Humans are pretty amazing. There are tribes of humans that can run down a deer to the point the deer is exhausted, and they can kill it, and bring back the meat to the village. No other animal can travel as far as humans except a dog and maybe a good horse but a dog needs more water.

Every year in England there is a race between horse mounted riders, and a human on foot.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Man_versus_Horse_Marathon

The horse mounted humans win most of the time, but sometimes the humans are faster. If the race was longer, humans can win more, but it too hard on horses to compete longer. The horses are protected by humane rules, humans can push on further. If they put in a long swim, humans would win every time.
