BAM Builders of the Ancient Monuments

I just watched this on Amazon in the UK.

Really well done, comparing architectural techniques across the world to build a case for survivors of an advanced society destroyed during the younger Dryas period who went out to teach the primitives how to thrive.

I really enjoyed this and I'd suggest if you ever liked reading anything by Graham Hancock, you'll like this film too.

You got a link or at least a title?

a reply to: Themaskedbeast

That was the title.
It's on Amazon prime, but here's a taster, if I did it right...

Best enjoyed with a

Always I gotta be in bed at 8 to get up at 2:30 no way that will happen without some beers.

Also it's called builders of ancient mysteries.

watching now.

Ah! Awesome, thanks. This was the show I was looking for earlier today. I was wanting to reference in a thread earlier.

Enjoy it

Cheers Sprocket,
Will be watching tomorow,can't wait.
I didn't know about it,but I read "Fingerprints of the Gods" years back.
Graham Hancock puts together a solid arguement I think.
The ancient few survivors who build monuments to warn the future of the great cyclical and cataclysmic events from space.
He writes well and I think it is a plausible theory.


Just reading about the Barabar caves in India on the website,half way down the page:
builders-of-the-ancient-mysteries.com...
That looks like a fascinating bit of ancient building.
It says they are mentioned in "Builders of the Ancient Mysteries"
But it says they have done more research since and "Everything will be detailed in BAM: UNDERSTANDING BARABAR, scheduled for March 2021."
So there is another film out soon(seems to be delayed though).

Theres some research being done of ancient symbols being found throughout the world.

Honestly, it's the best film of its type I've seen.
The gobekli tepi bit blew me away, the age of it and how well it's preserved.

a reply to: Blackfinger

Wow, I'd never even thought of that, some sort of proto writing on a cave wall, that's pretty sweet.

Part of the video is about the impossible smoothness (down to 1.5 microns) and flatness of stuff they finally got around to measuring with technology. youtu.be...

crazy, isnt it?

You should probably read about them at this link

I didn't know much about the Mauryan Empire before you mentioned the caves, but they're a pretty impressive bunch to have kicked the Selucids to the curb like that during the time of the rise of the Middle Eastern superpower states (Alexander the Great and his rivals in other countries.)

However, given all the writing and evidence left about the Mauryan Empire and the empires and states that preceded it (well recorded by themselves and other nations) I don't see any connection to a "civilization before the Dryas period."

...beyond the fact that it's all homo sapiens, that is.

a reply to: Blackfinger

While I think that is exciting news for sure and certainly a worthwhile study---
I think of the movie Prometheus where they were looking at cave paintings to find the origin of humanity. It was cute but kinda a bit of a reach.

I would treat this the same. Could it mean something.....absolutely. But the likelihood that what she finds represents the complete picture/drawing when it was done is a reach. Making Dots, circles, and squiggly lines just might be how early man expressed themselves in art--like a pyramid is one of the most common structures built by man in the world because it is the easiest.

I'll summarize this horribly put together video (I hate to call it a film or a movie), so that the rest of you don't have to.

The basic premise is, there was some major civilization a long time ago, before the end of the last ice age.

The video goes about examining in often boring detail various archaeological evidence. Arguing that many structures, that have dates associated with them, actually maybe very older, because there are multiple different construction techniques used, which imply an older level of development, that was then built upon by a successive generation later, which did not have the same skill set as the previous generation of construction. All of that actually seems to make sense to me. But, none of that was "new".

But then, it went down this deep weird numerology-esue path. Which, it really didn't need to to make the case.

PS: I forgot to mention, that the whole thing is narrated in a female voice, that seems like it is computer generated / text to speech. Which just makes the whole thing seem that much more scammy - as if whoever wrote it, didn't want to be connected to it with their own voice, and nobody else wanted to lend their actual voice to it either.

Yeah. Basically a review of all the other stuff in Prime "ancient builders" vids.

This is where they did their best work.

You must understand that, when you're only using a few constants to define your results, the probability of getting a particular result (especially applying the same formula again and again to different constructs, in most cases.)

It's a very small probability.

She proved her case well to anyone who actually can do that kind of math. (Which unfortunately isn't very many people these days, I guess.)

The other thing you'll notice is that everyone she is talking to is speaking French. Even when she was in South America, the people on camera (including the guy who looked like he was from Peru himself) spoke French. Not Spanish.

I think she just has a think French accent.
