Daily Dose of Sultnpapper 05/18/18> Clearing up misconceptions in history and….. the Royal Wedding.

in #blog6 years ago

The other day I went into a little bit about how some things just don’t add up in what we are taught in school when it comes to history. If you weren’t with us for that daily dose we looked at the pyramids and also a little bit on dinosaurs.

Well, today I am going to elaborate just a little more on the subject of the pyramids, but I am going to approach it from an angle that you may not expect this old cowboy to be familiar with, geometry, mathematics, and building. I’m not an expert in any of these fields, but I do know a fair amount about these subjects.

First let me say that we all know that the pyramids have four sides that angle upwards and come together at the top to form a point, correct? How many of you answered “correct”? Wow, all of you answered correct, well done.

The only problem with answering correct means you really don’t know the shape of the pyramid, the Great Pyramid of Giza actually has eight sides that angle upward to the top and come together at a point. The structure is so massive that you really can’t pick up on it from looking at a picture or if you are even standing there looking at it in person. This was only detected not that long ago when some researchers were flying over the pyramid on the autumnal celestial equinox, because of the location of the pyramid and the angle of the sun at that particular day as the researchers flew over the pyramid they discovered that one half of the south side was in bright sunlight and the other half was in a complete shadow.

Further examination of the pyramid at a later time did in fact reveal that all four sides are constructed in the same fashion, so from corner to corner on each side, right at the mid-point the wall shows a definite angling inward, making each side as we know them to be, two distinct triangles, not one as we have always believed. So it has eight sides, not four. If you can see a direct aerial view of the pyramid from directly above you can see this, otherwise you will continue to think it only has four sides. So, that covers the geometry, I spoke of.

How about some mathematics and building? Being that I am in the USA and we never have conformed to the metric system like all the other countries of the world I am going to use the US measurements scale, according to people who have studied this great pyramid, the construction is completely accurate down to 1/15” of an inch. Talk to anyone in the construction trade that is building commercial buildings today and they will tell you that they cannot get anywhere near that accuracy in the buildings they are building right now. We have the most sophisticated measuring devices and laser levels that we have ever had on this earth right now, or do we? Could it be that the people who built the pyramids had even better devices?

Historians will tell you the people who built these pyramids had rudimentary tools, bronze hammers & chisels, don’t believe a word of that, these people had the technology to do what we can’t do right now; even as smart and as advanced that we think we are. The blocks on the outside are worn and weathered; inside though is where the real story is when looking for the precision that I’m talking about.

The upper chamber of the pyramid is perfectly constructed in both the horizontal plane and the vertical plane as had been verified using the most precise laser instruments for measuring that we have available. The chamber is constructed with granite blocks and fit together so tightly that even a thin sheet of paper cannot be slipped in between the joints. In most instances not even a beam of light can pass through the joints.

The pyramid is pointing north and is within 5/100 of a degree of true north, are we to believe that just happened by accident? I don’t think so, we can get to true north today, but even in the seventeenth century the best that could be done in measuring to align things with a compass was 25/100 of a degree.

According to Google the great pyramid was constructed in 2561 BC, but also according to Google the magnetic compass was not invented until 206BC and the compass for navigational purposes didn’t come about until 1040 AD. There is a couple thousand years discrepancy in the timing when it comes to compasses or the people who built the pyramids were just really good at guessing things.

Let’s do some real number crunching; I have even taken my boots off so I have my toes available in case I need them. Historians tell us that the great pyramid took 20 years to build. I don’t know how they arrived at that number but that is the number that is given when you research it. The great pyramid has over 2 million large stone blocks on the exterior of
the structure, so that means that just for the outside portion and not the inside chambers, each year 100,000 blocks had to be quarried, transported, and lifted and placed. Now these blocks are about the size of a small automobile so we aren’t talking about cinder blocks here or little red bricks.

So if the workers were able to work 365 days a year, and we’ll use 12 hours a day for daylight to work, just how quickly would they have to be working to get it done in that twenty year span? Well we have 60 minutes in an hour; multiply that by 12, so we have 720 minutes a day. We take that 720 multiplied by 365 and that gives us 262,800 minutes of available work time per year. So if we divide the available minutes of 262,800 by 100,000 blocks we find that every roughly 2.628 minutes a block is quarried, transported, and placed each day of each year for twenty years.

Who ever came up with the twenty years had their head up their; you know what, yet this is what we are lead to believe. Why we can’t just admit that the pyramids are a technological and structural achievement that is beyond our comprehension as to both the building of them and the purpose is beyond me. Instead we continue to display our ignorance when we believe this crap they are selling us in the form of ‘history’.

I don’t care how many people you have with hammers and chisels cutting those blocks, just the transportation and placing of them couldn’t be done in the less than three minutes average needed to meet the time frame we are told. But since we aren’t suppose to pay attention to details they can get away with things like this. When was the last time anyone besides me was teaching you about the great pyramids? Most likely it was back when you had world geography in sixth or seventh grade of schooling.

When you look at the blocks, you will find that these blocks are shaped and fitted; each one to the one next it, and where there happens to be a passage way the blocks mirror one another from side to side, so uniformity exists that is almost goes unnoticed. This is real evidence of the fact that a plan was being followed that allowed for the quarrying, shaping, transporting and order of assembly to keep the project running in an organized manner. These people had to have machines that did this cutting and fitting. You can believe what you want, but as you can tell, I’m not buying what was sold to me in the past; you could say that I am an informed consumer now.

I hope that you have found some of this as interesting. I didn’t even get into all the mathematical equations that have gone into the layout of the pyramids. But pi, the golden number and several other mathematical equations played a part in the construction, but you would never know that based on what we learned in world history or world geography.
Which brings another fly into the ointment, pi was from the ancient Greek mathematician Archimedes who lived from 287 to 212 BC, but the pyramids were constructed well before his time, did Archimedes actually come up with 3.16 or did he just happen to steal it from the people who built the pyramids? I’ m thinking the credit belongs to someone other than the thief, aka, Archimedes.

I am going to call it a night. Just in case any of you are wondering, I will not be attending the Royal Wedding this weekend. I had thought about going and making my presence known but I think I am just going to pass on this one. I will send a gift, as soon as I can get back over to Pandora, Texas and locate a genuine Pandora’s Box to ship the Royal Couple. I might just have to break down and built one myself for them if push comes to shove.

Until next time,

I try to remember what I was told about the pyramids ... I doubt I ever heard anyone mentioned the job was done within 20 years time (good news.. if you found that info on wikipedia you can change it in 120 years). As I ynderstood it took at least a life time (plus a high amount of slaves probably not allowed to have a lunchbreak to pee as well) and... elephants, aliens or? to finish the job in time (and there were times this was not the case).
Since I can not stand pr Charles and royalty I will stay home as well. I have better things to do. Do not forget to show a pic of the box for that couple

I just ask the google search for the time frame, not sure what the Wiki has to say about it. Nothing the historians have to say about it adds up. I could do easily five more daily doses on this but that would get old pretty quick, most folks don't like to have their believes brought into question, even on something as unattached to them like the pyramids.
The box thing I have to be careful on with sending as a wedding gift MI6 might come looking for me if I send something not quite appropriate.

hmmm... have always been "intrigued" by the pyramids, but now you have given me reason to go and do some proper research.

That math just don't add up :-)

If you go look at the daily dose from 5/16/18 there is a link for a real good documentary film on the pyramids that has very good information for your consideration.
Thanks for taking the time to read and comment on this dose, very much appreciated.

Very interesting! I'd never heard about the eight sides of the Great Pyramid before. The only thing is... I can only find grainy photos of this, which makes me wonder if it might be akin to the "snow on the pyramids" hoax photos.
But having said that, thanks for detailing all the mathematical structural attributes of the Great Pyramid. I do believe that it's an astounding construction, and it is possible that the ancient Egyptians had very advanced technology that we don't even know about. Maybe they had technology that was forgotten or even suppressed.
I sometimes wonder what would happen if there was a calamity, like a major nuclear war. What remnants of our "civilisation" would survive? In other words, the fact that these ancient civilisations left mainly stone artefacts doesn't mean they didn't have technologies that we don't know about.
Though I don't think ETs built the pyramids!

The great pyramid is fascinating, and the shape of the sides is very difficult to pick up because the indention that creates the splitting of the planes is right at about three inches, but it is consistent, on all four sides, North , South, East, and West, and it is only detectable using the sunlight on the days when the equinox takes place with your eyes, otherwise you have to use laser measuring devices. Watch the documentary that I have a link to in my 05/16/18 daily dose and you will get the complete story on that and much more of the mathematics of the pyramids.
There is no question in my mind that who ever built these structures had for more technology and understanding than we have today, the big problem is that we can't seem to want to acknowledge the fact. The stone cutting is the other big one, granite is one of the toughest stones on earth and even the diamond tipped blades we use to cut stone with now doesn't seem to cut the stone as well as what was done back then, plus the finishing and polishing.
I know that there have been at least three major earth quakes in that area that the pyramids have survived, and they may very well have survived a nuclear war for all we know.
I can't remember the exact place but somewhere I remembering that there is a place where all the quartz and silica based stones are fused together in a big mass and it was determined that it was from some sort of nuclear event long ago in history, before recorded history, is what had been determined.
I don't know who built them, but that documentary also shows how the pyramids line up along a meridian that goes completely around the earth, which I didn't mention in the this daily dose or the one from the 16th. That alone would make me believe that who ever built them had the capability to travel through the air from place to place.

I'm rushing out to indoor bouldering just now, but I'll try and take a look at the documentary you mention later this weekend.

Even as a kid in school I just couldn't wrap my head around the whole manual labour thing. As a farm girl, I remember how heavy those hay bales were and those granite blocks were a whole lot more. And how many men did they need for each block? None of it ever added up...

Well it is good to know that you questioned it as well. Even when you are young and have a reference point like a bale of hay, it does make you think. Plus then if you think just about the scale / size of the pyramid it becomes a head scratching situation. I never could buy into the rolling the blocks on logs and then hoisting them into place, then I found out that the granite quarry is over 500 miles away. That did it for me, no way did it get built like we have been led to believe.

The pyramids were built using highly advanced tech. The Egyptians, had batteries, light bulbs, probably flying cars and were all undoubtedly black.

Yes, they had way more than we give them credit for, and it makes our historians look pretty much like fools when we try and explain it the way we do.
