Here's the problem I have with ALWAYS taking the experts at their word... some are wrong and wrong often. Do I know cuneiform, no, but I have to accept the fact that there is a good possibility of some information being lost in translation.
And that's one of the points of the series is that 'conventional wisdom' and 'mainstream science' cannot fully be trusted and has hole and its own agenda. Science has to be updated all the time and even experts contradict other experts.
So its easy for me to keep an open mind with that in mind.
Joel Feinberg and Russ Shafer-Landau note that "using the scientific method to judge the scientific method is circular reasoning". Scientists attempt to discover the laws of nature and to predict what will happen in the future, based on those laws. However, per David Hume's problem of induction, science cannot be proven inductively by empirical evidence, and thus science cannot be proven scientifically. An appeal to a principle of the uniformity of nature would be required to deductively necessitate the continued accuracy of predictions based on laws that have only succeeded in generalizing past observations. But as Bertrand Russell observed, "The method of 'postulating' what we want has many advantages; they are the same as the advantages of theft over honest toil".[6]
....and (in case you're wondering), the "limestone" the video talks about is actually coral, which is different than limestone.

To say there is no fact checking in the series is quite a statement to say the least. Though I appreciate your input (and this is much bigger than translating a tablet), we're viewing this concept from two different angles. I wonder what it would take, given what one"knows", to accept a fundamental change in the way we perceive our world in terms of science and laws. Time? The right person delivering the message?
I'll leave with circular reasoning

Whatever you are familiar with regarding Egyptian and Ed's building methods, they are only theories.
Its funny that you say 'its like taking pictures off of facebook and making your own story and ignoring the tags and messages' and then you say there are pictures of Ed and his tripod and wench and leap to that is all he had to build Coral Castle.
It seems as though you have only watched part 5, and not the whole series... even though I'm sure nothing will matter.
Actually, just watch part 3. I would like to know your thoughts.

You Sir have no clue what you're talking about and it seems like that you didnt even watch part 5, and if you did then you should listen more carefully, because the video itself tells you why coral and limestone are the same or lets say share internal similarities.

There's multiple types of limestone (see Wikipedia article) and they're all very very different in strength and composition.

I'd like to suggest something fun to you -- go look up a geologic map of your area and find out how many different limestones there are (I'm assuming you live near some), and then go on a delightful afternoon field trip and go look at some up close. Take along a hand lens and some vinegar, look at how fast (or slow) they dissolve, how their hardness is different, how different they sound when you tap them with a hammer.
...and when you see how different they are (and you should try it with the coral limestones in Florida (which the videographer didn't do... he was just copying images and videos from wherever he found them)), perhaps you'll see why it really IS that bad.
But... don't just rely on my saying it -- go out and look at the limestone for yourself! Tap the rocks and hear the sounds! Even within one area, the unevenness of the composition means that a chunk from one section of limestone can sound very different from another chunk of that same limestone that was 20 feet away (it can sound the same, of course, but if you've tapped many rocks (which you do when you're looking for fossils, I should add) you can sure tell a difference in the tone.)

Of course every single rock will sound different when you tap it, that's just plain logical. ITS ABOUT CRYSTAL STRUCTURES dude.
Seems like you really dont get it.

I'm going to have to watch the other eps now for sure.
A way to check dates
Info and Saturn i was looking at the other day
Now add this
link
Now go to my first link with the solar system and go foward to 27 October 2020, I wonder what they think they will do will all that directed energy?

This is more "hands on" experience than the videomaker has.

Byrd, understanding your chemical reactive point, and your tapping of the various rocks, are you trying to say, and unsuccessfully to some, that with composition and density as a guide, that each "stone" has a point that is is manipulative by frequency and or magnetics?
therefore the device, theoretically, would have to have variable ranges in Hz and wavepatterns and strength?

gotcha, now that being said, take an element or stone and encase or frame it in an element that is magetic manipulative (it could even be as simple as an ice handle) and you can levitate or move it,
