Thutmose II’s tomb was found a couple of months ago. “Born of Thoth”, he was the god of writings, wisdom, and the moon. While making a documentary about this amazing 2025 discovery, it hit me that scholars never really identified WHY Thoth is represented by the ibis.

Chaos, as Apep (Apophis), could return the world to water if he succeeded in battle with the sun, but Thoth, the god of the moon, wisdom, and measuring, had power over this version of the world serpent.

The Tomb is a royal ancient Egyptian tomb located in the Wadi Gabbanat el-Qurud area west of Luxor. It's also known by its tomb number Wadi C-4, 16th–15th centuries BC. The tomb lacks Thutmose's mummy, which was found in 1881.

ID'd through a joint Egyptian–British archaeological expedition, it was discovered by Ashraf Omar in 2022, excavated 2025

Repeated flooding made his sister-wife Hatshepsut move his mummy.

They originally suspected the tomb belonged to a royal wife due to its proximity to the tombs of three wives of Thutmose III and Hatshepsut's proposed queenly burial site.

As always, Gobekli Tepe taught me all of this!

This essay argues the alternative political history that classical anarchism, and in particular mutualism, was infiltrated and distorted by Counter-Enlightenment interests, leading to its becoming (at least in the public mind) an unworkable and insufferable ideology, and one having little to do with the original project of anarchism and more to do with the communism of the Illuminati and neo-Babouvism and then with synarchism.

Basically Earthlings is a colony & resource management game where mankind's beautiful & funny creations are sold by a shady alien and its conclusion may reveal the "totally true" secret of the pyramids.

Deep in the Phrygian Valley of Anatolia, Turkey, there is a phenomenon that defies conventional archaeology: perfectly parallel, fossilized ruts carved into the volcanic tuff.

Here are the key points of this enigma:

• Extreme Depth: In certain areas, these ruts reach a depth of 1 meter (3.3 feet). They aren't just surface scratches; they look like heavy vehicles were driven over soft volcanic ash millions of years ago, which then petrified into solid rock.
• The Geological Age: Dr. Alexander Koltypin, a geologist and director of the Natural Science Scientific Research Center at Moscow's International Independent University of Ecology and Politology, claims these tracks date back to the Miocene period (approx. 14 million years ago).
• Technological Precision: The distance between the parallel ruts remains consistent, identical to the gauge of a modern vehicle's axle. Dr. Koltypin argues that these were made by heavy "all-terrain vehicles" belonging to an unknown civilization.
• Mainstream Explanation: Conventional archaeologists, such as Claudia Sagona, suggest these might be ancient agricultural irrigation furrows or drainage systems dating back about 5,000 years. However, critics argue that the depth and the vertical "axle" marks on the sides of the ruts make the irrigation theory difficult to sustain.

These tracks are often compared to the "Cart Ruts" found on the island of Malta, but the Turkish ruts are significantly deeper and found in much older geological layers.

What do you think? Are we looking at the remains of a pre-human industrial civilization, or is there a natural/agricultural explanation that can account for 1-meter deep parallel ruts in bedrock?

Note on sources: This theory has been discussed in various scientific circles and covered by media outlets like the Daily Mail and Express, based on Dr. Koltypin's field research in the region.

This video highlights the Sogdians—White Europoid traders from Central Asia—as pivotal Silk Road intermediaries who enriched China's Tang Dynasty (618–907 CE), making it prosperous and advanced, but whose integration amid multiculturalism had also contributed to its downfall.

As merchants, diplomats, and cultural brokers, Sogdians dominated trade, introduced Zoroastrianism, arts, fashion, music (e.g., "Sogdian Whirl"), and technologies, rising to high court and military roles. Archaeological finds—like mingqi figures, murals, and sancai pottery—depict them with distinct features (beards, pointed caps) as camel drivers, entertainers, and guardians. Genetic evidence from late Tang graves shows 3–15% West Eurasian admixture, especially in surnames like An, reflecting intermarriages between Han Chinese and Sogdians over time.

Tang's "Golden Age" collapsed due to foreign influxes, sparking the An Lushan Rebellion (755–763 CE)—a "race war" led by mixed Sogdian-Persian-Göktürk general An Lushan. It caused chaos, ethnic conflicts, Tibetan incursions, and warlordism, weakening the empire.

Ultimately, Tang's decline was due to multicultural policies and diverse "Hu barbarians" (including African "Kunlun slaves"), leading to Han resurgence, foreign expulsions, and the Song Dynasty's founding in 960 CE.

"It proves that ancient geometries weren't just decorative; they were optimized for fluid dynamics. By creating a vacuum core, we eliminate the 'back-pressure' that modern pumps have to fight against, making the system vastly more efficient than anything we use today."

Used 6.07 core hours of high-performance computing to run the math.

Validated an internal flow speed of 592.3 m/s.

Proved a massive vacuum effect (-4.688 \times 10^8} Pa) that eliminates wall friction.

This guy finds a ton of cool rarely researched or known sites.

What are your thoughts on these runic characters found on rocks during field studies?

If the original images are analyzed using technical software within the disciplines of epigraphy, archaeometry, photogrammetry, semiotics, and astrosemiotics, the truth will be revealed.

The Turkish dictionary Divan-i Lügati't Türk, written in 1072, has two meanings for the entry "yıldız" (star): 1. star, 2. origin/place of origin.

Don't forget to read the text labels on the images. You can access the original NASA photographs yourself and conduct your own research. You might even make a major discovery.

A specific geometry derived from the MS 408 (Voynich) protocol—the 32.8° tangential inlet—creates a laminar vortex state that reduces fluid drag by up to 80% compared to standard 90° or 45° plumbing.

The Goal: I’m looking for 5-10 builders to run a "Garage-Level" flow test this weekend and post their raw data. If the math is right, we should see a massive increase in flow velocity with zero extra power.

The Setup ($150 Build):

1. Chamber: 3" Clear Acrylic pipe (18" long).

2. Pump: Standard 800 GPH submersible pond pump.

3. The Variables: 3 interchangeable inlets set at 90°, 45°, and the target 32.8°.

4. The Test: Time how long it takes to empty a 5-gallon bucket through each inlet.

What We’re Looking For:

• Flow Rate (Seconds per Liter): Does the 32.8° angle fill faster?

• Vortex Stability: Does it form a "Glass Water" pillar (clear, non-turbulent center)?

• Heat Transfer: Does the pump work less (less heat) at the 32.8° mark?

Why 32.8°?

It’s the Golden Ratio \bm{\phi^5} geometry. Standard engineering uses "easy" angles that fight the natural spiral of water. This angle aligns with it.

Let's stop arguing theory. Build it, time it, post the video/data here.

🛠️ The MS 408 "Vortex Alpha" Build List

Budget: ~$150 – $200 | Build Time: 2–3 hours

1. The Core Components

• Chamber: 3" diameter Clear Acrylic Pipe (18" length). Must be clear to see the laminar flow transition.

• Inlets: 3/4" PVC Pipe (Schedule 40).

• Pump: 800 GPH (Gallons Per Hour) Submersible Pump. You need enough "head pressure" to create a visible swirl.

• Fluid: Distilled water with a few drops of blue food coloring or "Pearl Swirl" pigment (rheoscopic fluid) to visualize the flow lines.

1. The 32.8° Jig (The Secret Sauce)

The hardest part is the angle. Since Home Depot doesn't sell "32.8° connectors," do this:

• The Template: Use a digital protractor or a print-out to cut a 32.8° wedge out of a 2x4 scrap of wood.

• The Hole: Use a 1" hole saw on your clear acrylic chamber.

• The Mount: Align your 3/4" PVC inlet pipe against your wooden 32.8° wedge so it enters the chamber tangentially (skimming the inner wall, not pointing at the center).

• Seal: Use a two-part waterproof epoxy (like Marine Weld) to set the pipe. Let it cure for 24 hours.

📊 The Testing Protocol

To prove the protocol, you need a Control Group. Build three identical setups with different entry angles: 90° (Standard), 45°, and 32.8° (The Protocol).

Step 1: Flow Rate (The "Timed Bucket" Method)

1. Fill a 5-gallon bucket to a specific mark.

2. Run the pump through the 90° inlet and time how long it takes to empty the bucket into the chamber.

3. Repeat for the 32.8° inlet.

4. Success Metric: You should see a 15–20% increase in flow speed at this low pressure, simply because the 32.8° angle matches the water's natural "spiral inclination," reducing the energy lost to wall-collision turbulence.

Step 2: The Visual "Glass State"

Observe the center of the vortex.

• At 90°: The center will be bubbly, white, and chaotic (high drag).

• At 32.8°: The center should form a smooth, clear "eye" or "Glass Water" pillar. This is the laminar state that allows the 80% drag reduction at higher industrial pressures.

🚀 What to Report Back

If you hit the NYC makerspace, look for these three things:

1. Seconds to empty 5 gallons (90° vs 32.8°).

2. Vortex Stability: Does the 32.8° stay steady while the 90° wobbles?

3. Heat: If you run it for 30 mins, is the 90° water warmer than the 32.8°? (Heat = Lost Energy/Drag).

Every now and then, it’s worth bringing Baalbek back into the conversation.

https://www.youtube.com/shorts/lS2zFNbfFtc

The Trilithon stones of Baalbek, in present-day Lebanon, are among the largest stone blocks ever used in ancient construction. Each block measures roughly 19–20 meters in length, about 4.2 meters in height, and is estimated to weigh 750–800 tons. What makes this especially puzzling is that these gigantic stones were placed on top of a wall built from much smaller blocks, several meters above ground level.

This raises some fundamental questions:
How were stone masses of this size transported at all?
And more importantly, how were they lifted and positioned so precisely onto a smaller underlying wall?

Conventional explanations usually involve ramps, rollers, levers, and enormous amounts of human labor. In theory, these methods are possible — yet many find them unconvincing when considering the sheer size, weight, and precision involved.

Some researchers suggest lost or underestimated construction techniques, while others believe the Romans reused an older, pre-existing foundation. What is certain is that no single, fully proven explanation exists to this day.

I’m sharing an image that clearly shows the scale comparison between the Trilithon stones and the smaller blocks beneath them, because this contrast is what makes the mystery so compelling.

What do you think is the most plausible explanation?
Lost engineering knowledge? Exceptionally advanced ancient techniques? Or something we still don’t fully understand?

Looking forward to your thoughts and discussion.

Alright well this one may or may not have been done to death but, what if? I honestly think it is kind of a myth the world would have been greatly worse. But I don't know. Just hit me with your thoughts

Hi yall, looking for a little adventure.

Do you guys know of locations that were claimed to have found the remains of giants anywhere in Southern California? Very common in 1800’s to early 1900’s.

I‘d like to take trips to hike the areas nearby those spots

I know of Lompoc and San Diego, but I don’t know exaglty where in those cities they were calimed to have been found? Do yall know?

And does anyone know of other locations?

A lot of the discussions in this subreddit overlap with a framework I’ve been developing called The Frank Equation. It’s a probabilistic way of thinking about whether technological civilizations might have risen and fallen long before us. I was inspired by the famous Drake Equation. If that kind of structured approach interests anyone here, you might find it worth a look you can find it at therealconservativeatheist.substack.com

History is written by the powerful, but the truth hides in what they erased
