Pfft, I clicked on those links and didn't see a single cat. Weak.
I really wish I had gone into archaeology. Nice and quiet. Nice and relaxing.

Read the article about it in NatGeo. I especially liked that the oldest temple is the most intricate and artistic, while the later ones become increasingly crude. Atlanteans? Old Ones? You decide! :P

I'll help you out; Archaeological and
Archaeoastronomy/Astro-archaeology (is the study of how people in the past "have understood the phenomena in the sky how they used phenomena in the sky and what role the sky played in their cultures")
not Xenoarchaeology (is a hypothetical form of archaeology that exists mainly in science fiction works concerned with the physical remains of past (but not necessarily extinct) alien life and cultures. It is not practiced by mainstream archaeologists)

Interesting to say the least. Putting any Atlantean theories aside.

Bellosh is an old Czechoslavakian recipe consisting with bread dough, and cheese and potatoes. :hmm: :huh:
Other sites in turkey would include;
Nevali Cori
Derinkuyu
Ashikli Huyuk
Catal Huyuk

My brother has an archaeology degree and worked as a field archaeologist for like 2 years after college. His job was basically this: whenever someone wanted to break ground on anything Pennsylvania considered to be in a "Native American cultural zone", his company sent archaeologists to examine the area and do exploratory digging. Sound fun? It was, but the pay was like $12 an hour and the company wouldn't cover his travel expenses and lodging, so on some of his digs he actually *lost* money, but was contractually obligated to do them.
He eventually wised up, and is now a regulatory compliance manager for T-Mobile. :cool:

Didn't have time to read all this. Still sleepy and I have to get ready to leave to see my social worker this morning. The fact the third one seems to be based around the idea that "The Sphinx is older then archeologists say it is!", is not a good sign though.

He has an interesting theory. Nothing overly complicated. I would be courious on your opinion.

I'll give it later. I'm still waking up, and and I have the Social Worker coming by some time this morning. He doesn't always arrive at the same time and it's hard to hear him knocking down here.

now that would be rather difficult would it not? :p

His theory rests on a series of assumptions that seem, according to the other geologists who have studied the issue, unfounded (like that some of its weathering "could only have been caused by rainfall and water runoff" when alternate explanations exist). His theory also ignores all none-geological evidence about the age of the Sphinx (like his requirement that,, when fitting granite capping to the limestone, the Egyptians inexplicably decided to carve the hard granite to match the soft limestone, rather than the reverse). He apparently ignores the fact that different compositions of limestone erode at different rates. Finally, he was brought to Egypt explicitly to find evidence to support the "old Sphinx" theory of John West.
See http://www.catchpenny.org/sphinx.html and http://www.catchpenny.org/augustm.html (both of them short and to the point).
Doesn't mean Schoch is wrong, just that his hypothesis needs much more work to be persuasive to some of the experts.

When TMO wants to build a new tower someplace, he does all the legwork re: permits, zoning, conservation regs, etc. to secure the site. He also has to follow up on refilings and paperwork fuckups (of which there are a shitload, apparently). Lots of towers built in the late 90s when the cellular market exploded were built improperly from a regulatory standpoint, because there was such a rush to expand coverage nets.
He was telling me when I saw him on vacation that New Jersey has some ridiculous ordinance that, because the Garden State Parkway is 'historical', all cell towers along it have to either look like a tree (and cell towers disguised as trees look laughably bad), or look 'wooden'. They put in a couple of new towers in Absecon last year that were actually covered with some fake wood shit to comply with that ordinance.
Oh, I forgot: he also has to go to town and county meetings and get yelled at by NIMBY soccer moms and kooks who think the cell towers will make their brains melt or let the CIA/Illuminati scan their brains. :lol:
First article: Bullshit. Relative velocities of stars, their mass and possible planetary systems around those stars are "encoded" in a rock formation? Yeah, that's bullshit.
Second Article: Better, don't know enough to make any determination. The Schmidt guy seems to think it corresponds to some mythical location in Sumerian mythology which kind of raises eyebrows.
Third article: Grumbler summed up some of the problems with it. I'm very skeptical about this "more ancient" Sphinx. It's the sort of goofy shit you would expect from the History Channel. The author Robert M. Schoch, seems to think there was some kind of global Ur civilization that left nary a trace.

I'm combing my brain for a mechanism by which that information could be recorded, and I'm coming up blank. Incoming energy from other stars is insignificant compared to insolation, or even energy reflected off the other planets. Gravity is so laughably weak in relation to the other forces at work that I can't imagine how you would detect it in the rock record. About the only way that you could see that happen is through intelligent agency.

And they "May" have the recipe for Chocolate cake from a 1969 Betty Crocker cookbook encoded in them. I wouldn't hold my breath. It's an incredibly stupid statement that reveals the guy to be a nut. The idea that a people had the technology to observe a star well enough to be able to calculate the mass and velocity (not to mention planets!) felt the best way to convey this information was through the medium of rock piles?

Agree. Until further findings or evidence say different. Did we not think at one time that the sun revolved around the earth. Oh and dont forget the apparrently the earth was thought to be flat.
But I'll keep an open mind.
It's wise to maintain a healthy, skeptical mind. Otherwise, your open mind might fall prey to peddlers of pseudoscience, and you end up with a faggoty-looking bracelet and a basement full of power crystals.

They have a shop full of those things at West Edmonton Mall. Every time I'm near that place, I see a bunch of weird kids milling around in there.
