3,000-year-old lost Egyptian city discovered by archaeologists

You'll need the staff of Ra, and I can't help you there.

The only staff of Rhah I know of belongs to this guy:

 

Those images are a trip.

It seems that a lot of valuable things were left when everyone split. That’s my impression - that the people living there just grabbed some belongings and hauled buns, leaving a lot behind. More than a bit weird, if true. I wonder how many people actually lived there when it was thriving? Was it large enough to truly deserve being called a city?

Egypt, ancient Egypt, is truly strange. I visited Egypt back in the 1960’s and would like to return some day. My guess is that an enormous number of sites of great significance have yet to be discovered. The sand just covers everything up, given time and half a chance. That ground penetrating radar that being used to discover sites in Central America and Arabia? Surely it’s being put to good use in Egypt, but If it is, I’ve missed the articles about it.

 

One of the theories of why Akhenaten changed religions was that he believed the power of the priesthood was too great. Since Thebes was also the center of the priesthood it made sense to build a new capitol.

 

Ancient Alien Theorists are intrigued. How is it possible that people were getting e-gypped 3000 years before there was e-anything.

 

On the one hand it is great that this is an Egypt led and staffed excavation. On the other hand it kills me to see some random dude shoving a suspect PVA adhesive (and not even the one the company makes for ceramics) onto a ceramic in the middle of the dig.

 

the gold coated mummified fish is different

The thing that is interesting is their ability to use irrigation. these guys starting taking water projects next level.

They were able to make these really cool channels and aquaduct type deals. Also the flooding takes place in such a timing that it is coincides with the seasons quite well in egpyt. Not so much in iraq with the rivers there - the timings flood too early in the seed cycle..not in egypt.

So in egypt they are aided by the dumb luck of a well timed flooding river and all this grain around. They would still hunt yet due to the grains they would have storage ( err temples) and these were also the meeting spots for trade. I assume some dudes might get a family member or cousin or 2 and move a bunch of big blocks to somewhere and then start storing stuff. That becomes town hall and before you know it he is the elder of the village and you see early divisions of class or ruling class..

Due to the need for man power to process the grain you have more building storage and housing projects spring around that. It creates more people and "towns" this went on pretty good 10,000bc to the by the time king tut and all this they had established setups to manage this agriculture and they had sedentary periods where in this case these same farmers using the offseason to build the pyramids and similar.

Im interested in cross referencing events in egpyt with bible and David and moses and all that. If anyone is into egpyt and this it would be nice to chat. I am a layman btw and stayed at a holiday inn express

Im still stuck on this early period and i found these 3 documentaries that really get into it below..

Basically it sounds like with the nile and grains egypt were incredibly lucky and the grains led to an agriculture society which had new needs from hunter gather.
I cant express it well enough and im off on much of it but these 3 are good start here

 

I assume people have seen the you tubes on how they built the pyramids for real, which I think is generally accepted now, whereby they melted the quarry and poured the mix into molds. Simple, replicated, and evidenced. So for anyone who might not yet know about that, check it out and decide for yourself. It looks like it checks out and explains the difficult questionz. What I don't understand is why it would take engineers this long to figure that out.

 

Yes people always get their rocks off on the "perfect lines" of the construction and its obvious they were pouring stuff in.

People act like they were dumb then too which they obviously werent. Scientists now are showing can move big blocks like stonehenge or egypt with a few people. They could use ramps and forms of cattle or horses as well.

Whats more curious is how they figured it out then the actual scale of pyramid is nuts.
Some king later on tried to destroy the pyramids and had his gang try to take it down and gave up..barely noticeable today. The size is whats impressive.

 

The "concrete" theory has been present for decades and always had its detractors, but the stuff I've recently read about it says the "pour" method you talk about is being more generally accepted, but only for the blocks on the higher levels. The interior and lower blocks are still believed to have been quarried from what I understand. There are rocks still sitting around where you can tell they were being split/quarried for excavation. I haven't followed it in a while, but it's still interesting.

As for thinking they were "dumb", I've always thought people were more amazed by what they were capable of with the tools they had available, so they had to be anything but dumb. The ingenuity of ancient peoples is pretty much revered throughout the world where megaliths are used for construction. A place like Sacsayhuamán is another example. But what I hate are the people that just say "yeah, well, if I had 50,000 people as slave labor, I'm sure I could build a pyramid, too". I'm sure that had a lot to do with it, but somebody needed to devise the plan.

 

I would use another word to describe that pic, “implausible”. Does it make sense for anything that’s made of gold or that was gold coated to survive an abandoned city? Unless that was part of that “New Religion” that the king tried to establish and therefore it would’ve been bad karma to take it.....even then I doubt that someone wouldn’t try to test religious taboos and melt the fish and keep the gold! IF that’s gold at all...

Irrigation is bullshit.

 

Just as an aside, thought the mysterious coral castle construction which was considered just as mind boggling for nearly a century was not only discovered to have a simple engineering solution, but they actually found 1930 documentary footage in 2007 of exactly how it was built using tri pods-pulleys-and stone cutting, But even funnier is that not only were their witnesses to how it was built in the documentary footage, but there were hot models running all over the grounds. So how in the hell our engineers could not figure it out so quickly is even more mind boggling, but also how nobody saw this documentary or even remembered it for like 80 years also mind boggling, and funny too.

 

Was it really a mystery to anyone other than the ufo/paranormal community? I doubt it was even a mystery to them except for the people they were selling/conning the mystery to. They've used those pictures before to spread the conspiracy but with purposely vague narratives that their following eat up. It kind of sounds like a tactic a recent high-profile person used. Listen to how the same pictures are described in this video.

 

It was. One of the great mysteries. Long before alien conspiracists existed. But that's life. The fun and magic of it get's wiped out by science and facts. The pyramids are lined up to be taken out next, but people are still hanging on.

 

Irrigation is a series of tubes
