NASA scans reveal an abandoned city buried under ice in Greenland!

The Independent UK published a story with a misleading headline that freaks out amateur archaeologists and Lost Civilization aficionados!

The Headline reads: "NASA scans reveal abandoned city buried under ice in Greenland!"

In the article: "The abandoned city is a military base called Camp Century, built in 1959 by cutting a web of tunnels under a near-surface layer of the Greenland ice sheet. Abandoned in 1967, snow and ice have accumulated over the camp with the facility's solid structures now lying at least 30m (100ft) below the surface, researchers say."

It should have read, "NASA scans reveal abandoned Army buried under ice in Greenland!"

I'm one of those people who believe that there are still lost civilizations left to discover and explore, and there may be evidence of Atlantis to be found. This Headline was purposefully misleading in an effort to capture the attention of people like me. Publishers wonder why folks don't trust them the way we used to.

I admit, they had me for a second!

The Great Pyramids of Giza have stood as architectural marvels for thousands of years, inspiring endless questions about how such massive structures were constructed with precision unparalleled even by today’s standards. While the mainstream consensus is that the pyramids were built using quarried limestone and granite blocks, an alternative theory I propose suggests the stones were not carved but molded into place.

The Evidence: Perfect Fit and Precision

One of the most striking features of the pyramids is the near-perfect alignment of the stones. The gaps between these massive blocks are so minimal that even a piece of paper cannot pass through them. This extraordinary precision raises questions: how did ancient builders achieve such tight fits using primitive tools? My theory is that the stones were not carved to fit but instead molded on-site and then hardened into place.

The Hypothesis: Stones as Ancient Molds

I propose that ancient Egyptian builders may have created a slurry-like material from a mixture of crushed limestone, clay, water, and other natural binding agents. This material could have been poured into wooden or stone molds to form the blocks. Once hardened, these molded stones would have been indistinguishable from naturally occurring limestone, particularly after thousands of years of exposure to environmental factors.

Over time, erosion, rain, and pressure would have transformed these artificially created stones into what we now perceive as solid, natural rock. This process would mirror a geological phenomenon known as lithification, where loose sediment hardens into stone under heat and pressure.

Why This Theory Deserves Attention

1. Precision Without Modern Tools: Traditional theories suggest that ancient Egyptians used copper chisels and dolerite hammers to carve stones. While this method is feasible, it doesn’t fully explain the seamless precision and uniformity of the blocks. Molding the stones could account for this accuracy.

2. Ease of Construction: Transporting and lifting multi-ton blocks across long distances and then placing them precisely would have been an immense logistical challenge. If the stones were molded on-site, this process could have been significantly streamlined.

3. Environmental Effects: Over thousands of years, molded stones could have undergone mineralogical changes, making them appear like quarried rock today. Rain, heat, and pressure could have naturally solidified any artificial materials used.

Counterarguments and Challenges

Critics of this theory often point to the lack of historical records indicating the use of such molding techniques. Ancient Egyptians left detailed accounts of their construction methods, including quarrying and transporting stones, but no records mention creating molds or pouring materials.

Additionally, modern analyses of the pyramid stones generally support their natural origins. However, certain anomalies in the microstructure of some blocks have sparked debate, leaving room for alternative explanations.

Why It Matters

Exploring unconventional theories about the pyramids not only deepens our appreciation for ancient engineering but also challenges us to think outside the box about the ingenuity of early civilizations. The idea that the Egyptians could have used advanced, yet forgotten, techniques to mold the stones opens new possibilities for understanding ancient technology.

Conclusion

The pyramids remain one of humanity’s greatest mysteries, and my theory offers an alternative perspective on their construction. Were the stones molded rather than carved? While evidence is still inconclusive, the idea deserves further research and discussion. By considering unconventional approaches, we might one day uncover the full story behind these iconic monuments.

I am looking for what is apparently a niche source because I cannot find it despite knowing that something should exist.

I am referring to a source, either primary or a scholarly secondary source, that details or even just mentions the Roman elite taking their slaves out in public with them or even to public events.

I've been using Google scholar and my own university's website, but I cannot find the source I need and I am starting to get tunnel vision. If anyone could link me to a paper or a book (if you feel really nice and merciful the page number as well) of something that could help me and my scorched end of semester brain would be eternally thankful.

I have seen in karnataka every other village or town has a village diety that the entire village prays to and also take care of the upkeep. I also see the gods that we pray in the cities the main Hindu gods and Brahmins being the primary people up keeping these temples. Some of these built during the prominent dynasty. It makes me think was there a conversion of sorts from older gods to new forms or they all existed together?

Could you help with the deity name?

I'm trying to figure out the name of a native american deity I found on a stone I once knew the name of. I held up the rock and didn't have to say a word to my friend and she immediately was shocked and then said it's name. I've forgotten it and can't find it anywhere.

It had a circle head with one eye and had a longish triangle mouth? Nose? It's looked like a beak and the body was human.

Hi all. I am study ancient history in high school and today my exam question was on whether Alexander the Great could have accomplished what he did without the foundations that Philip II had made for him. I was pretty confident in my answer being no he could not have however after the exam almost everyone I talked to said they believed Alexander could have done it regardless of what Philip had done. I only know the basics of the both of them but still I think that without the political moves like the league of corinth or military innovations like the sarissa and Macedonian phalanx I don’t believe alexander could have done what he did. I’m sure there’s people on here that know far more about this than I do so I am curious to hear some other points of views and whether anyone else agrees with me or not.

The StoneLore Podcast will cover the stories behind ancient stones and stones of strength.

Over the centuries we have studied the people that have erected them, venerated them, even lifted them - but what about the stones themselves - what are their stories? From the Husafell Stone to The Stone of Destiny and everything in between, join us every month as we journey through time discovering and recovering the fables, myths, and legends of stones of the past.
