"Public disclosure will only cause panic"

[Natalinasmpf]

Which ancient sites have radiation levels the same as Hiroshima at what point in time?

Mohenjo-daro, now I recall.

I'm not joking. I'll pull the article up again, sometime soon.

If they do exist.................I think it will be intresting trying to explane oral se

Let's hope they don't reproduce Alien (the movie)-style, then.

But wouldn't an advance civilization, one capable of building nuclear weapons and using them on a scale that not even our civilization has done... wouldn't other evidence of their existence be known? Like depleted ore/oil stocks, roads linking the cities, and etc?

In our case, I firmly believe that in order to erase all signs of today's global civilization from the face of the Earth, you'd have to have an event of truly crust-shattering proportions on a global scale. It's not the roads, or the buildings I'm thinking about, it's all the mining that we've done over the past 6,000 years. Nuclear war, ice age, even a nearby supernova wouldn't erase all the evidence of multiple gigatons of ore extracted from the ground.

I call BS.

Public disclosure of "Public disclosure will only cause panic" has caused BS.

No, but it would erase anyone to notice.

However, the alignment of the pyramids do not coincide with Orions belt, as many would have you believe. The alignment is off, the spacing is wrong, even when compensating for stellar drift over the past 4,500 years what you're left with is a mere approximation. As a matter of fact, the closest match between the pyramids and Orion's belt occurred in 10,500 BCE (appx. 8,000 years before the pyramids were built) - and even then, it's nowhere close to "matching" mathematically.

The Great Pyramid and the Sphinx WERE built in 10500 BC.

Like that big huge ball of glass in the ground in the Sahara desert, that reminds one of a giant source of heat somewhere to melt all that silicon, perhaps a nuclear war? That is also as radioactive?

I read also that the warring nations had air and spacecraft. They can mine their stuff from the moon. If you did not know, tritium is found in great abundance on the moon, people are thinking of using it as fusion reactor fuel.

Generally, the barren wasteland caused by mining can also be wiped out; for all we know, the Sahara Desert could be actually the area they mined from, till they made it all barren. You know the steps for desertification? Loss of topsoil, loss of rain to other areas, damaged ground and poisons from mining...

The evidence is a lot, also shown in the caves around the area. I also honestly don't think roads would survive, but perhaps they do; after all, it wasn't till a satellite mapped the underground they found an ancient highway buried that ran from Oman to Israel. Generally, the depleted ore can disperse, decay, as well.

Anyway, humans have so far only excavated a very small fraction of what underground there is left to discover.

The Sphynx is built on a natural rock formation that has been used for a long, long time, but the Sphynx is not that old. As well, there are records of the building of the Great Pyramid, so unless you claim that the Egyptians were lying about when they built it . . .

Please tell me you are just regurjitating this, and don't believe it.

"The Great Pyramid and the Sphinx WERE built in 10500 BC."

Well the Sphinx was anyway, according to the erosion evidence.

It was built by aliens btw.

Nuclear war is for old women. A "truly crust-shattering event" would make Chicxulub look like child's play.

It's not just about erosion evidence.

There's increased talk about a big room underneath the Sphinx... my personal bet is that it's the Thoth's Hall of Records.

Neither of which prove that the Sphynx is as old as you say it is.
