Re: the Ancient Egypt tribe
Sun, December 4, 2005 - 4:43 PMI've tried to speak some sense to the UFO nuts over in that tribe, but to no avail. Maybe we could come up with some good thread-starters of our own and take that tribe back in the name of true intellectual pursuit! -

The Egyptology Tribe
Sun, December 4, 2005 - 9:47 PMPyramidiots are truly the creationists of the far left. We should try to get some interesting threads going in the Egyptology tribe. There were some interesting discussions going in the Ancient Egypt tribe but they got cut short by the usual digressions. This won't happen in Egyptology.
Any suggestions for topics? I love them all... -

Pyramidiocy
Sun, December 4, 2005 - 9:48 PMThe Classicists and Romanists are lucky that the Egyptologists take all the heat from the pyramidiots... -

Re: the Ancient Egypt tribe
Mon, December 5, 2005 - 7:36 AMCertain elements who shal remain nameless pretty much repeat this stuff everywhere...religion tribes, ethnic tribes, etc.
And boy howdy, don't challenge them unless you want a flame war. -

Re: the Ancient Egypt tribe
Mon, December 5, 2005 - 7:48 AMYeah, but the flame wars are usually too absurd to be painful!
What really cracks me up about these nameless elements is the kind of material they choose to back up their claims. One "element," who is so hyperconcerned with race that his arguments reach the point of ludicrousness--to the extent that he praised me for saying I was Black--used a web page from a White supremacist website because he agreed with the claims it made! -

Re: the Ancient Egypt tribe
Mon, December 5, 2005 - 6:34 PMCome on, now. They COULDN'T have just BUILT those things. It takes a lot more than a limitless supply of slaves and thousands of years to build a pyramid. You need lasers and warp drive, too. -

Pyramid Construction as the Space Program of Antiquity
Mon, December 5, 2005 - 9:22 PMOf course Egypt was incredibly wealthy (in terms of food supply) compared to the fairly arid lands nearby, so one imagines that the supply of labor which could be obtained by forcibly enlisting the residents of Palestine or the Egyptian desert would be fairly small compared to that which might have been obtained through persuasion in the Nile Valley itself. Given the technical sophistication of pyramid construction projects (which were executed in as little as 20-30 years per pyramid) one imagines working on one would be like having a role in the space program today. Just because no one has been smart enough to figure out how they did it with ropes, wood, and copper tools doesn't mean we have to fall back on the deus ex machina of alien intervention. -

Tue, December 6, 2005 - 12:14 AMWhat was the name of that guy who used to write those books about the Nazca Lines and Stonehenge? Was it Erik von Danken?
Yeah, it's kinda like that. -

That's my point exactly. 20-30 years? That's the smoking gun. UFOs, baby.
I'm kidding, of course. -

Re: Pyramid Construction as the Space Program of Antiquity
Tue, December 6, 2005 - 8:53 AMI heard that the pyramids are actually just naturally-occuring limestone outcroppings that weathered into that shape.
You know, like Mount Rushmore.
