*"Evidence of Advanced Machining In Ancient Egypt"

The only thing remarkable about this article is how ridiculously
UN-scientific it is. *Basically he says these things look hard to make, so
it means the ancient Egyptians must have used secret maching techniques we
did not know they had (like diamond bits). He does not even consult
professional stone masons to ask what is possible or impossible with ancient
tools. ...

Copper tools like the Egyptians had are still used to cut hard stone:http://www.tradeshop.com/gems/howcut.html

Likewise soft brass tubing will drill through hard glass.

It's funny how people who reject (can't comprehend?) modern views are
so gullibly accepting of alternatives. I just read a description of
the mysterious top-secret Nazi/UFO "bell" device and realized that it
was probably a vacuum arc furnace with the voltage increased to
generate powerful X-rays, and peddled as a Death Ray.

There is a special sacred angle slightly more than 26 degrees that
appears in the Pyramids and is claimed to have deep astronomical
significance. It's actually a rise of 1 in a run of 2.

Jim,
Thanks for the thoughts on the "Bell" I am always curious to solve
these little "mysteries"
Here is a link for the curious. Well one of many links, anyway.

This brings up the "Fly Trap" Do you have any speculation about that?
Take a look at this link... Zoom out and look where it is...

It always amuses me how many "secrets" can be easily explained with a
little research, and careful thought.


But careful thought and logic won't sell the latest re-write of my
book :-)
