This is not a light bulb .

Guys you might also want to look at where the art work is located at? Also when it painted (hint well after the pyramid period

The dominant building in the complex is the Temple of Hathor. The temple has been modified on the same site starting as far back as the Middle Kingdom, and continuing right up until the time of the Roman emperor Trajan. The existing structure began construction in the late Ptolemaic period at the time of Ptolemy Auletes in July 54 BCE.and the hypostyle hall was built in the Roman period under Tiberius.

It's where the image is located at.

I have a question for all of you in this thread then! Question: How many Ancient Egyptians did it take to screw in that gigantic antique lightbulb? Answer: The world may never know! 🤔

Now everyone gets a participation Tootsie Pop on the house!📍

So how would they lift 100,000s stones that average about 2.5 tons each using hot air or gas?

Dirigibles or airships?

2.3 million blocks.

That number while popular is incorrect. It is based on a volume calculation before it was understood that an estimated 23% of the GP incorporates into it the limestone ridgeline it is built on and the use of 500,000 tons of gypsum mortar and general sloppiness and use of small stones and gaps. The actual number is around 560-900,000.

I read that the people from the India region had hot air balloons three thousand years or so ago and used them to possibly trade spices and herbs which are lightweight when dried. But the pictures of those on some buildings in India don't look like this, they look sort of like a hot air balloon they use to give people rides. They were supposedly fueled by rocks...probably coal or something like that. There were maps found in India that could have identified air currents that could be used for navigation also, but what they traded those spices for would be heavy, I do not know how they would have taken those back unless they traded for other spices or herbs or something. There were trade routs throughout the Mediterranean and Europe all the way up to Scandinavia back then. There were trade routes to China from India too. India seemed to be some sort of a medical herb hub or something.

I haven't a clue what this picture represents. It could be some kind of hot air balloon, but I doubt if it is something for pushing stones. water could be used to push stones because water does not compress, but nothing I can think of would hold the pressure that was around those days that would not pop....it is not shaped like a hydraulic cylinder or anything.

Very interesting.

So there is film evidence, that has been classified until 1990...what society was he working for???

The English Society for which Dr Jarl was working confiscated the two films and declared them classified. They will not be released until 1990. This
action is rather hard to explain, or understand. : End of trans."
The fact that the films were immediately classified is not very hard to understand once the given measurements are transposed into their geometric
equivalents. It then becomes evident that the monks in Tibet are fully conversant with the laws governing the structure of matter, which the scientists
in the modern day western world are now frantically exploring. It appears, from the calculations, that the prayers being chanted by the monks did not
have any direct bearing on the fact that the stones were levitated from the ground.

The pyramids were built long before those pictures of the "lamp" and associated hieroglyphs were made, nor are there any depictions of pyramids being built or even completed in any early Egyptian art. The pyramids at Giza have no hieroglyphs at all and were probably made by an advanced civilization long before even the earliest Egyptians.

The Egyptians inherited the pyramids and had no idea how they were built, and I doubt they had a device that could levitate stones. If they did, they would have used it on the statues they show being pulled into place on sleds.

I always thought it looked more like a flower is emitting some smell.

But what makes you think it is about the stones? I see no stones in the hieroglyph.

how large would a hot air balloon need to be to lift even 1 ton?

a reply to: Degradation33

That makes to much since.

a reply to: Gothmog

That many!

100,000s was just a stab in the dark guess.

2.3 million blocks, at an average of 2.5 tons each being quite the Lego set indeed.

a reply to: scraedtosleep

Well apparently to lift 1,000 pounds(about 1/2 a ton), you need about 65,000 cubic feet of hot air.

Pretty darn large would be my bet.

I think there is some speculation that it represents an Eggplant/Aubergine harvest or thereabouts.

that was the first thing that came into my mind too!

i forget where i got it from tho.

Apart from all those in the relieving chambers of the Great Pyramid (and even on the core blocks); in the boat pits; in Menkaure's mortuary temple ...

and were probably made by an advanced civilization long before even the earliest Egyptians.

The hieroglyphic characters just mentioned were left by aperu, skilled work-crews engaged in the times of Khufu and Menkaure (in the mid-3rd millennium BC) to build the pyramids that would become their tombs. (See Roth 1991: Chapter 7.)

That statement begs the question and it is NOT proof that the Great Pyramid was built during the times of Khufu and Menkaure. It ignores the possibility that the ancient Egyptians DISCOVERED these pyramids and used work-crews living in nearby worker villages to turn them into tombs for their rulers. That's why archaeologists have never found the tools remotely capable of doing the complete job (mere renovation is less demanding of technology). Some metallugist needs to inform them that bronze sawblades cannot make deep, narrow cuts in granite - only steel saws can and the ancient Egyptians did not use steel tools, it wasn't until the Third Intermediate Period (1069 - 525 BC) that Egyptians fully mastered iron working and the removal of carbon from iron to create rust-resistant steel. This was long after the pyramids were supposed to have been built! The ancient Egyptians were always recycling the architecture and stone work of earlier generations and then passing it off as the work ordered by a particular pharoah so as to enhance his stature. In fact, this is now common knowledge among Egyptologists, except none among them has the courage to ask whether this labour-saving habit might have applied to the very pyramids themselves. There are no hieroglyphics inside the pyramids because they were never intended originally as tombs. There is so much I could add but won't because it is just a waste of time to try to make the blind see.

Sure they do the Goyon-Grinsell mark on the outside and numerous ones in relieving chambers. Other later pyramids (and some earlier one's too) have hieroglyphs inside them.

One example: i.imgur.com...

So, why does archaeology only find signs of the AE being there when they were built? Where are the habitations, burials and works of these other folks? I mean before the AE we have the Naqada and on back thru other cultures some 30,000 years but not a single instance of another civilization there?

3850 cubic meters of hot air to lift one metric ton (depends on temperature of air and its density too).

There are calculators for that online. www.engineeringtoolbox.com...

balloon promotions balloon flight gift certificates schedule a hot air balloon ride hot-air ballooning events hot air ballooning news hot air ballooning info. hot air balloon pictures balloon contact Ballooning Information Balloon Facts How Big? A typical balloon is about 55 feet across and 60 to 80 feet tall. They are categorized by how much air the envelope can contain. a common sizes is the AX-7, with an envelope volume of 77,000 cubic feet.

That kind of average balloon and lift 1,000 lbs or about 500kg or about half the size you need - in other words a very large balloon with all the handling problems of trying to keep it stable and also the need to keep filling it with hot air.

Actually it does and you are in denial. Can you explain how those markings got there into a seal site within the pyramids that he British had to force there way into (by use of black powder explosives)?

How do you explain the Goyon-Grinsell mark? How do you explain the complete absence of archaeological evidence for this other civiization at the same time we have literally millions of pieces of evidence for the AE and the preceeding Naqada culture?

Oh, sand and bronze/copper blades/wire will cut even granite.
