Well my position on this is that mud brick did not precede the use of large carved stone. It would seem logical that it did as man progressed down the road in building technology but it simply isnt the case in my HO. Once man did start using carved stone again they use much smaller stone than the multi-ton stones we find used around the world. I hold like some others that the great pyramid for example was not made by the mud brick boys or the small stone pile boys.
Hmmmm so let me get your timeline right instead of the evidenced development of construction from
Wood
Mudbrick
Stone
You believe it is
Wood
Big stones - if you could would you define what you consider big stones?
~~~~~~~~~something (what is it that you think happened here?)
mudbrick
small stones
Okay if that is a correct understanding - please show evidence that supports this? How do you account for the Mesopotamian and Harrappan civilizations which were mainly mud and burnt mud brick built?edit on 12/11/12 by Hanslune because: (no reason given)

So when is the first occurance of small bricks being used, and when is the first occurance of these large stones you refer to?
Look man if you dont already know what i am talking about then this is just going to be over your head anyway.

Well perhaps on the broader stage you are less knowledgable, but it is clear that when you speak you know what you are speaking about, and you do not speak about things you do not know. That is the motto I try to live by as well and I respect it greatly. I think you and Slayer serve different purposes here on this forum, and they are complimentary purposes. That is what makes a great forum, different people serving different functions keeping things interesting.

I said stop with the compliments about me
My lasagna is to die for. You wouldn't know, though, since you're so old your taste buds are dead.

Dr. Semir Osmanagic Regarding Pyramids Found All Over the World
Regarding the OP: Os-magic announced Pyramids in Bosnia around the turn of the century. 12 years later he has yet to provide any sort of evidence for them. Having no such evidence he is now shifting his talk to "other pyramids all over the world" in order to deflect from his huge Failure to provide some meat.
I don't doubt there are yet undiscovered pyramids out there, but osmanagic is not really the go-to guy for this.

Well said Skyfloating-long time no read, yes there are finding pyramid (or raised mounds) in South America, Asia, even in Egypt still, this guy is long on new age jargon but short on archaeological or geological evidenceedit on 15/11/12 by Hanslune because: (no reason given)

That response is a telltale sign of a lost argument. My question stands if you choose to answer.

One of the oldest known mudbrick site is Tell Abu Hureyra, a Pre-Pottery Neolithic B from circa 9,000 BC.
Let me guess you think the Khufu's tomb was built in 10,500 BC?edit on 13/11/12 by Hanslune because: (no reason given)

The Romans used a lot of brick and there are Roman brick structures still standing. Brick has always been in. Even at that we cant say that the great pyramid represents progression. Theres no antecedence. In fact theres no progression from that point.
And they certainly dont know that this was Khufu's tomb. In fact the idea looks like a fraud.
The pyramids were tombs if they weren't where did they bury the Pharaohs? I recommend you read about the AE religion that is the context you are missing
Oh really and what and how did they do that? lol
Then you should be able to accept being wrong without difficulty
Actually they did all the evidence points to that, but then your ship seems to have sailed in to Denial Bay, Australia
Sorry I'm not a scientist, I'm just someone who uses the scientific method, but thanks for getting to a point it was getting rather hazy there for awhile
The Ancient Egyptians stated many times that the pyramids are tombs. The pyramids each have a temple to their respective interred personage, usually a king, that represents a funerary temple in a style recognizable in temples associated with other, occupied, tombs.
I've read ten or so different versions of the Dogon creation myth (they vary.) I can state here that I've never seen any reason to believe that the Dogon actually claim what you say. So, why are you saying it? To misinform?

If this was the case, we would see far more pyramids than we see today.
Are you really convinced that these structures are tombs?
The step pyramid, the red pyramid and the other pyramids around the world were built as tombs only?
What if they were not have you ever researched that possibility instead eating whatever has been placed on your spoon?
Your laughing, instead of brushing me off you should just consider it for a minute. Do a little research on the subject. The giza pyramids are a power center and purposely built on top of aquifers.
The materials that were chosen, were picked because certain properties they possess. They were built like a modern day wire. Get your laughs out and please go research it, you will appreciate it.
I am wrong because I am aware of certain facts that you may have not encountered. ATS'ers always do this, because they are NOT aware of something that makes the poster wrong. This is juvenile in so many ways. Rather than research to prove the person wrong you sit on a high hill, like you know everything there is to know about the subject.
The Mayans, Aztecs, and Egyptians did not build the pyramids. They used them for whatever purposes they wanted to. I am sorry this is vastly different from your high school text books but the truth is out there, you have to go get it.
The Egyptians are not even the indiginous, autochthons of the land. They inhabited the area just as the United States inhabits a land that had structures, and a way of life prior to their arrival. Same goes for egypt.
