At least he's branching out.

I'm a genius."

Gabeed said:I have no idea what you're trying to say in the context of my last post. Are you saying that you ignored Lambonius because he was unreasonable? Because looking back . . . that was clearly not the case.
Montana Smith said:I find it encouraging that we're here, even disagreeing, but we're still here. We're spending the time thinking, challenging, arguing.
Not only that but we're often thousands of miles apart, and from quite different cultures and with different upbringings. Through the wonders of the internet we can communicate as fast as we can type. Through the barrier of the written word devoid of facial expression, we're trying to make ourselves understood. We might have little chance of winning our respective arguments, but at least we're still comunicating.
Each of these threads is a journey. Some are stranger than others. You don't always know where they're going to go, or what odd little piece of information might arise. So even if I don't agree, I want to try to understand. It's also good for the little grey cells!

Gabeed said:Actually, you just further my belief that you're unable to accept any mainstream information that goes against ancient aliens or the pyramids being tombs. I mean, how can you say that there is no hard evidence for pyramids after learning about layered Egyptian coffins? Wouldn't you at the very least admit that you were uninformed in previously stating that the sarcophagus in the Great Pyramid was too deep and large to be an Egyptian sarcophagus?
Matt deMille said:Believe what you will. But for a moment, put yourself in my shoes: Clearly anything I say gets attacked. For example, when I started the Pirates thread, a totally new thread with absolutely nothing to do with aliens, the first thing that happens is RA comes in with more of his crap.
Matt deMille said:I would like to add that I was not wholly unaware of such practices. I simply did not apply them to that particular box before. Seems like a really big oversight, to be sure, and it is a bit embarrassing, but I'm human and, like any researcher, can be preoccupied with looking in a different direction.
Matt deMille said:Unfortunately, no concessions are forthcoming from the opposing side. It *does* look like a traditional Egyptian oversized box.
Matt deMille said:But, was a body ever known there? What happened to the interior sarcophagi? Tomb raiders wouldn't have lugged out these massive things. I'm not asking proof, just a plausible suggestion, a good theory to consider. In the absence of evidence such as the interior boxes, the body, the treasure, etc. this being a tomb is just one of many possibilities.
Me said:Dear Dumbass,
I hardly think your user name suits you-- I find you reasoned and well-spoken. I've greatly enjoyed reading your articles debunking Ancient Alien Bunk this evening and I wanted to invite you to join a long-standing debate on the matter on a forum I frequent, raven.theraider.net. This is a prominent Indiana Jones community. Giorgio Tsoukalos himself used to frequent the board around the release of the 4th (unfortunate) installment of our beloved series. There was a time when the board seemed particularly over-run with those crackpots, an unfortunate side-effect of that crummy love letter to Von Daniken, better known as Indiana Jones 4.
Anyway, I find your arguments so superbly crafted and so logically and succinctly presented that I feel you'd be a valuable addition to the debate.
Cheers!

Imagine several, even more clever engineers under the command of the Pharoahs. While there is of course no proof that the ancients either at Stonehenge or in Egypt used these methods, the point is that such feats are possible.
Oh, and the WKUK video is apt as well: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FJ8KleL4fS4
