White Pyramid of China may not be White Pyramid of China

i quoted from or mentioned several hindu texts, some poems, some epics, some more modern. you call them a fiction. not all scholars think the ancient texts are lies, no. but ones such as yourself, who do, try to pretend you're being tolerant and understanding of the genius of our forerunners whilst simultaneously accusing them of believing lies, fabrications and fictions. on the one hand you claim the text is referring to a meteorite hitting the earth and on the other hand, you call the work a fiction.

apparently, you want this thread to be closed by drawing attention to it from the mods. not gonna let you do it. ignoring your further responses in this thread.

please link to any time I have said texts were lies
theres only one person lying here, that statement you just made was a blatant out and out lie.
you are a liar, whats that now the third time you've lied in this thread, no wonder you're hung up on the idea that everyone is a liar like you are
they aren't beth
most people are far more honest than you are, thats very clear

if you'd examined the evidence you would see that its a poem
a poem is a work that uses imagination to tell a story
heres that dictionary again

definition of poem
1. a composition in verse, esp. one that is characterized by a highly developed artistic form and by the use of heightened language and rhythm to express an intensely imaginative interpretation of the subject.

you don't understand much at all obviously.

and you finish with another lie
at no time have I asked any mod to close this thread
if they have threatened you with that its because you've lied all the way through it and presented no credible evidence, despite being given every oppotunity

ah so the typical response from someone who can't discuss anything like an adult
sticking your fingers in your ears and screaming LALALALALALA won't make whats in your imagination a reality

Hey Undo,
I have read through this thread and the other billion page thread with the Hindu text arguments.

I think you are reading to heavily into it all. Most of this "ancient text" was written down by a guy who "channeled" the info i have been lead to believe.

Its ok to have an imagination. Just realize where the fantasy ends and reality starts.

can you explain a flying device that can cloak itself, that can travel across the universe, that can hurl projectiles and destory several cities at once? (advanced tech)

how did the eye of ra, nearly destroy the planet? (it was a device of some sort)

etc, etc.

Metaphor.

Alternatively, how did Harry Potter win the Quiditch match?

He didn't. It was just a story ....

Whilst some myth may be based on real events, it would be foolish in the extreme to take a subjective translation of a 2,000 year old story, impose modern values and interpretations on it and then assume it all to be a true, literal account of real events. Especially when in the case of the Vedic myths, many of the supposed transplations regarding apparent modern weapons have been entirely made up Whilst others have been quoted well out of context.

Imagine if in 5,000 years time, someone discovers a Harry Potter book ....

The topic is: white pyramid of china may not be the White Pyramid of China

Now... I know all these side trips are diverting, but could you return to the original topic? Side trips certainly deserve their own threads... or you can google the site and bring up older threads that reference the same material.

Back on target, guys.

Hey undo, im not postin about this thread, its about the anunnaki movie. I cant find news on it since you made the thread on them, and that guy said he'd seen a trailer. I cant find any trailer and then is no updated site, do u no anthing about it? much appriciated.

there are three sources of information on the white pyramid that I know of (THE white pyramid has nothing to do with all the lesser and smaller pyramid structures surrounding xian):

it was photographed by the military pilot mentioned in this thread.

it was photographed by a german researcher called hausdorf, who, in his book "The White Pyramid" claims not to have been let closer to the pyramid by the chinese military.

there are some tibetan texts referring to a white pyramid (unfortunately I dont recall which texts. this is something I read years ago).

Mausoleum is just a tomb, the structures in Xian are pyramids. Maoling and Yangling are just names for them. The word "ling" is rather related to a temple or atleast back then i think. I'm chinese, =p but illiterate because i'm in the US.

What makes u think this?

Not been able to find the "Made in China" stamp on it? lol

"Abbas Ibn Firnas flew the first heavier than air aircraft in 875 CE"

I dont think flying camels count although they would be "heavier than air".

Based on these and several other eyewitness accounts, the historian Ahmed Mohammed al-Maqqari described the event as follows:

"Among other very curious experiments which he made, one is his trying to fly. He covered himself with feathers for the purpose, attached a couple of wings to his body, and, getting on an eminence, flung himself down into the air, when according to the testimony of several trustworthy writers who witnessed the performance, he flew a considerable distance, as if he had been a bird, but, in alighting again on the place whence he had started, his back was very much hurt, for not knowing that birds when they alight come down upon their tails, he forgot to provide himself with one."

thats some claim as the images come from Google Earth
are we supposed to believe that the chinese govt has influence over that as well

lol.

Marduk your trust in Chinese government is unnaturally strong.

Yes there is good reason to believe Google Earth can be doctored, why? Because it has been in the past. Many people on ATS have proven areas to be completely changed, erased, or just flat out blocked out.

Secondly, considering the deals Google has made with China in the past involving censorship, and applications to Chinese communications, I'd say there's more than a possibility there is information people, especially the Chinese don't have access to.

You are also very quick to accuse people of making decisions based on their research while you are yourself are resorting to internet sources such as Wikipedia, which is again, a source one should ever resort to based on the FACT that it is a completely unreliable source for high standards of scholarship.

And Lastly, yes the U.S government is very good at hiding things. I can go on a tangent about this, but After everything that has happened, it's amazing you cannot understand that something may have indeed happened here. In addition to your annoyingly unwillingness to assist with the research being done, you provide little smirks, which to the people trying to actually help and get to the bottom of this, you insult.

Also, Undo, there is something called the Freedom of Information Act. Have you tried utilizing this for possible photographs?

it was described as a perfect pyramid with a shining capstone

I read a book on pyramids about 15 or so years ago and there was an article together with a black and picture of a pyramid with a metallic capstone. The story goes that an airforce transport pilot flew through china during WW11 and happen to notice a huge pyramid and he snapped a picture of the pyramid because it had a metallic capstone.
I lost the book and have been trying to find another copy.I cannot remember the title of the book,but I am looking at all the old books about pyramids in the hope that I can find it again. It was a soft cover book and the title could be pyramids of the world or something close to that.The picture showed the pyramid from above and it clearly showed a metallic covering around the capstone. I don't think there is a reprint,so the only choice is to look in libraries and used bookstores. I posted threads in a few forums many years ago asking if anyone else came across the book and picture of the pyramid with a metallic capstone in china but there were no response. I used google earth to search for signs of a huge pyramid but had no luck in find something even close to it.
The pyramid in the picture that was printed in the book looked in good condition with undamaged surface unlike the egyptian pyramids.

These descriptions don't match what is now being said is the White Pyramid. Either Gaussman was exaggerating the entire story and didn't know south from north and east from west, or they got the wrong White Pyramid.

There is a third option..perhaps Gaussman was giving an accurate description of what he saw as he flew over, but was mistaken in what he actually saw.

It's not beyond the realms of possibility that the 'gleaming white/metallic pyramid' simply silently lifted off and flew away (at fantastic speed).

I'm not kidding either.
