Did you know this about the great pyramid?
 
Not only is the Great Pyramid of Giza at the exact center of Earths land mass, there is also this incredible fact:

Incredible. Unbelievable and hard to accept.

In fact I don't.

You didn't have my English teacher when it came to researching credible information.

I don't mean this unkindly and I am sure you do believe this but it is not in any way credible.

The Earth must have a very odd rotation, since a planet rotates around the center of its mass

Still, as it's on TOTV then it must be correct :-)

Interesting but apparently debunked in 1973. See: Geographical centre of Earth - Wikiwand. Isn't Google amazing?

Lottoguy 07-04-2017 10:12 PM

The greatest form of ignorance is when you reject something you know nothing about.

Lottoguy 07-04-2017 10:20 PM

Wikipedia is a joke. Not even close to being credible. Measurements have slightly changed due to various reasons over years and years. Science won't touch this amazing fact. This is only one of many strange but true facts. Yet, people believe slaves built the pyramids with a metal ball and chisel. And then dragging 2,500,000 million blocks up an incline that has been proven to be too steep.

aliens - woo - woo!

See how clever they were?

The Great Pyramid of Giza has 8 Sides - YouTube

And to think people today say they were built by slaves with a ball and chisel? Good luck with that theory! Especially after seeing the short video above. The pyramids have actually eight sides that can only be seen for a short time during the Equinox. And this can only be seen from above. Good luck debunking this one. There is still more......much more.

even allowing for your extra zero, that's a heck of a lot of blocks - are you sure you added them up correctly?

Lottoguy 07-05-2017 08:21 AM

Yes, that is the approximate number of blocks needed. Architects and builders today say building such a structure now would be next to impossible. Even with today's equipment they don't know how they did it. I get a kick out of some the strange theories out there. One has them floating the blocks with coconuts 500 miles down the Nile River.

aninjamom 07-05-2017 08:28 AM

Ok, I have been reading science fiction, AND science fact since I was 10. A long time. I have read about a myriad of speculations, I read "Ancient Astronauts", and one book about a couple that were "abducted by aliens". I forget their names. I would find it totally fascinating if aliens visited us, and am not adverse to believing that they may have. But I also like to apply common sense and real facts to theories. You claim Wiki is not a credible source - but You Tube is? Try this: Google the Great Pyramid. Find it on Google maps. Pull out. Pull all the way out. If Earth has a "center" land mass on the surface, it's in Russia. Read up on the research National Geographic has done about the building of the Pyramids. And if we weren't brain-washed with "cavemen" in school, the fact that people were actually intelligent enough to figure stuff out in ancient China, Egypt and Greece all by themselves would be obvious. People weren't "unevolved" back then, they just didn't have the tech we have. Can you explain how your cell phone works? I like the point made in another thread on TOTV: If these aliens are so advanced, why do they come here and CRASH? I am open to evidence that makes sense, online "proof" for anything can be found online!

Lottoguy 07-05-2017 12:11 PM

The crashing of UFO's has baffled people for many years. The most plausible explanation is they are caused by lighting strikes. Many of the most famous ones like Roswell happened during a lightning storm. Do these crafts have problems with that? Very few things on this planet are more powerful then a dead center lightning strike.

Dr Winston O Boogie jr 07-05-2017 01:34 PM

The exact center of the earth's land mass? Is there such a thing? How could that be determined? The earth has many land masses.

What a ridiculous idea.

And what would lead to the conclusion that aliens would use the metric system of measurement?

Numbers may not lie, but you can draw many different conclusions from the same set of numbers.

It's been over 20 years ago those little boogers borrowed my metric tools and haven't bother to return them. It was the silver looking lizard types!

Lottoguy 07-05-2017 02:24 PM

I haven't even mentioned how the pyramids line up to the different stars in the sky. Or how it points to true north perfectly. Or how there is evidence of advanced stone cutting. Or how 2.5 million boulders were moved 500 miles from the quarry. I won't bother with those facts. Your mind cannot comprehend even one fact.

You are at a distinct disadvantage when covering this subject matter. There are and there will always be flat earthers . This is an observation and not a judgment

the Pyramids are a wonder. I'll leave it at that.

Lottoguy 07-05-2017 02:29 PM

Yes, but only with special permission can you enter into the pyramid. Watch the complete series called The Pyramid Code on Netflix. It's five parts all together. Recently they sent in small robotic rovers into the shafts. But, it was stopped when photos showed unusual figures on the wall never seen before. Why did they clamp down on this? To control the truth.

Taltarzac725 07-05-2017 02:30 PM

Keep posting stuff lottoguy. It is interesting as are the various responses.

Lottoguy 07-05-2017 02:41 PM

It's always easier dealing with an open mind then a closed one. Many people just can't handle this subject. It's always easier for them to attack me then what I've presented.

Seems to go with the territory Lottoguy. It is easier to just question the messenger rather than looking at the message if it disrupts their world view. Cognitive dissonance - Wikipedia

Exactly how I feel. Check out a man named Graham Hancock. He just recently proved there was probably a major event that happened to Earth around 9,000 BC. It was the discovery of Gobekle Tepe in Turkey that helped him with this discovery.

There are hundreds of planes in the air at any one time, yet surprisingly few crashing out of the sky due to lightning strikes?

The volume of the Great Pyramid is 2,583,283 cubic metres

So, in round sum terms, one million of your blocks would make a cubic metre.

So each of your blocks is about four inches by four inches by four inches.

Are you sure you don't want to reconsider your figures?

aninjamom 07-06-2017 06:14 AM

You didn't know that the Egyptians and other ancient people knew astronomy, and believed that the stars were very important? The night sky is very bright without electric lights interfering. Stonehenge, the Pyramids, Mayan structures, many others were aligned with movements of the moon, sun and stars. These people were not ignorant, they were intelligent, and very interested in the natural world around them and studied it. Without technology, they were very creative at solving problems. For example: moving large blocks of stone: Solved! How Ancient Egyptians Moved Massive Pyramid Stones
It may be more exciting to think aliens gave them help, but making facts fit a theory instead of the other way around is not good science. My mind can comprehend that.

HUH????

If 2 1/2 million blocks = 2 1/2 million cubic meters, than each (one) block would be a cubic meter, or about 39"x39"x39". Reconsidering????

Also, IF it takes 1 million blocks to make a m3, then each block would be 1 cm3. Reconsidering now???

IMHO, the method in the link is "all wet". Maybe it would work for a 2 ton block, which is what most of the great pyramid is built from, but the temple in front of it has 50 ton slabs of stone. And the temple in Baalbek, Lebanon, has a 1000 ton stone placed 40 feet in the air on 2 upright stones, and another 1200 ton stone was left in the quarry. Wet sand---I doubt it.

Lottoguy 07-06-2017 07:44 AM

But those planes are not using lightning as a fuel source. This is what might be happening.

Doubt it. There is a distinct lack of lightning in interstellar space.

From Angkor Wat to Stonehenge: How Ancient People Moved Mountains

This is interesting. One thing. The Egyptians probably used thousands of people and animals and had no compunctions about many of them dying in the building of these monuments. They used a lot of slaves from conquered territories I would guess.

Quote:

"What we think is they made some sort of railway," Storemyr explained. "Not a railway in the sense we know today, but some type of wood with fixed beams that a sledge that the stone is mounted on could be dragged on."

Then it's just a matter of "lots of people, lots of rope, lots of animals," he added.

The railway, mounted on top of the paved road, would enable workers and animals to lug a stone on top of its sled to the lake and, eventually, up the Nile to the emerging pyramids. (Learn about the pyramids at Giza.)
How did they float such weight though on a boat??

Wood sled might work for 2 ton stones, but try it with a 1000 ton stone and all you get is toothpicks. Lots of rope??? The problem would be there is not enough room on a 1000 ton stone to tie the thousands of ropes you would need, not to mention the rope would have to be made of steel. What the author suggested is like towing a locomotive with cooking twine.

Theories abound on how ancient Egyptians moved the enormous limestone and sandstone blocks into place for their pyramids. But how did they transport these blocks, some weighing hundreds of tons, from the quarries to the construction sites?
Quite a mystery Golfing Eagles. How could we do it even today?

Interestingly, they went to a number of heavy construction experts and asked that question about the 1000 ton horizontal stone at Baalbek. Some said they couldn't do it. Others felt they could do it by using 13 of our heaviest cranes arranged in a circle, each counterweighted with 50 tons, and each attached to the stone by 8 inch steel cables. They would then VERY carefully lift the stone not to break it in a coordinated effort. But with that many cooks spoiling the broth, they doubted they could place it as accurately as they did thousands of years ago.

LottoGuy stated that there are 2,500,000 million blocks, not two and a half million blocks. I questioned whether he thought his rather large figure was wrong and he said "no", so any calculation of his block size has to be based on two thousand five hundred billion blocks.

You are correct, though, that I got my centimetres confused with my decimetres - each of LottoGuy's blocks would, indeed, be 1cm x 1cm x 1cm. And that would easily fit in one of his floating coconuts :-)

rubicon 07-06-2017 01:25 PM

So if experts even today find the prospect of building a pyramid problematic does that lend support to other theories?
