A response to persistent claims made by some in regards to lost high technology. Quite simply they are wrong on so many of the things they assert as fact, and a few key strokes into a search engine would be enough to demonstrate this. Sadly first page google search and Wikipedia seems scholarly in comparison. I am the first to agree on the echo chamber of the established view of ancient history however they at least do have some legitimacy. However this echo chamber hive mind is also clear amongst the alternative. While a growing force amongst the alternative view are muddying waters with completely unresearched (if not deliberately fraudulent) claims. While claiming to be supporters of Graham Hancock, Robert Bauval and Randall Carlson for instance. Each of who have stated this type of support is unwelcomed as it does great damage to the hard uphill battle of breaking the establishment narrative. Although I firmly sit on the alternative side of the fence I will not stand by as BS is shovelled into the mouths of people. There are many questions in regards to ancient construction, survey and metallurgical knowledge however there are also many questions in regards to the motivations of some so called “researchers” who pedal grade A bunk. In search of the almighty dollar, while also preaching on spirituality and morality. You can choose to believe whatever you want but if you spread these erroneous beliefs as fact you are not a person of integrity.

#stonemasonry #artisan #ancient The ancient craft of stone masonry and the slow careful nature of the work. To appreciate the mindset of the ancient masons the last of the traditional masons would be the best window. A quote from George Proudman about why he is a stone mason and what it means for our increasingly impatient and unstable society.
