James, I understand (although I am not sure why) that it is very important for you to believe that we have lost ancient knowledge or that aliens helped us move blocks, or something similar.

I also understand that you're not really interested in doing the research yourself, or of responding to my comments; and that you are willing to accept at face value things by people like Erich von Däniken.

That, of course, is your prerogative.

there are anomalies.

for sure , the smithsonian " loses" certain ones

for sure , a wooly mammoth was found with fresh buttercups in its' mouth , and

for sure , there are some strata found thousands of feet apart , which can only be explained , by a very scary reality.



poleshift.

this planet has been thru many births . some say we have another, right around the corner.

Another deliberate misrepresentation of my words, which were about the Sacsahuaman fortress, NOT Baalbek!

"And (for the record) whoever made the claim that we can't move 10 ton objects today"

I never made any such claim & none else did either. Maybe U should read things twice.

"This land based unit, for instance, moves 550 tons:/
and we transport the Space Shuttle via crawler (and lift it up and down and it weighs over 11 million pounds:"

But we didn't move it with ropes! See the Tiahuanaco blocks weighing up to 600 tons at [url=http://www.world-mysteries.com [/url]

Explain how it was done with those blocks, much larger than anything in the pyramids, by primitives.

AGAIN moderator, you're posting quotes AS IF they're mine without specifying that I'm no longer the one quoted, which is misrepresentation of me.

Seems to me that he wasn't.

You really would be better off if you'd take the time to actually read the posts you're responding to.

While I enjoy reading some of the links you've posted, I feel that in general your style of representation and lack of coherency is distracting and doesn't really further the discussion at all.

James, I don't think anyone's going to want to discuss things with you if you lose your temper.

that site you posted is a christian creationist website so all the accumulated data collected there is designed to make you believe that God made the earth in 4004bce

like the earlier world mysteries website posted by James it has a very clear agenda at distorting the truth and is not at all credible

So you say. I disagree.

There exists no "unexplained" artifact.

Baalbek was built entirely by Romans, not some "primitives" which you seem to think would naturally be less intelligent than modern man (an assertion with which I also disagree, BTW.)

The fact that you can't explain something in no way indicates that the thing in question is "unexplainable" or even unexplained.

At least, not to me.

One minor correction; what we see of Baalbek now is Roman, the 1904 expedition went down to the bedrock. There was however on/near the site some bronze age ruins but they were not megalithic.

The huge stones the Romans moved were for a practical purpose, they needed a retaining wall that would stand up to earthquakes but not be mortared with concrete, this was because they were making classical/traditional (to them) religious building which needed to be built in the old way, ie, ashlar/solid masonry. The huge stones that were not moved were probably part of a three piece altar that was never completed.

I believe the most recent German expedition found a second giant stone - still embedded in the quarry and covered with rubble.

God did create the earth and everything that you see.

Doesn't modern day science have an agenda?

yes it has an agenda
its agenda is to find out the facts before you go theorizing not theorizing and then finding the facts to fit.
in essence this is known as the scientific method.

Greetings Kerkinana Walsky

oh really, which God was it then ?

There is only one God

whats his actual name ?

God goes by many names

Adonai
Ehyeh-Asher-Ehyeh
El
Elohim
`Elyon
Shaddai
Shalom
Shekhinah
Yah
YHWH

Among the ancient Hebrews, the seven names for the Deity over which the scribes had to exercise particular care were

El
Elohim
Adonai
Ehyeh-Asher-Ehyeh
YHWH (Jehovah)
Shaddai
Zebaot
