I'm referencing the same "rumored" tunnel as the OP. Your link seems to be describing another project, further to the east.

Heh, where did you find that, in a dictionary next to "hand-wave dismissal"? The original article cites actual people with names, the follow-up just says "they." Mr. Brockedon could have been asking the local baker, for all that article says. I tried to do a search on "Philip N. Brockedon" and...

Oh my god. YouTube now has a wiki disclaimer for "Freemasonry" (like they do for flat earth and 9/11). That's adorable.

This is a point that can't be made enough. If a crime occurred, whose testimony would be more credible: the eyewitness, hours after the incident, or their great great grandchild's centuries later? The answer is obvious, but the same logic is not applied when we assess historical documents. Our...

Found this, this breastplate (and similar) are discussed starting at 8:33 (the whole video is fairly interesting): The curator states that items like this were partially designed to add to the "spectacle" of the tournament (can't help but think of the similarity between this and the "ancient"...

Heh, also known as "Alexandria." Cute. The Merv ruins are quite a bit away from Kerki, over 150 miles as the crow flies (and about twice that by car, as there are very limited roads). Closer to Kerki, take look at their (I presume) old airport. Anybody want to venture a guess on why you...

These articles are amazing, but really hard for me to fully wrap my brain around (probably at least partially the point here). I think that makes sense, but there are likely more possibilities because this is so convoluted. Like the river situation: So, if I'm following correctly, the...

I have no idea how real this is, but if it was, it implies that whatever the phenomenon is, that it's local, as you'd expect to find more than one video reporting it. Which raises a lot of questions: is it something massive in front of the moon obscuring it? Is the moon a projection (like a...

I think it's apparent that nothing is discovered or invented unless there is an "official" record of it. Whether or not a place was found or a device created prior is irrelevant. All that our history tells us is when the current system of civilization chose to acknowledge it and provide the...

Can't stop thinking about this bird. Agreeing that it has features like a duck, I stumbled upon this: Slavic Creation Myth: Translated from “Songs of the Bird Gamayun” Speculating heavily, I wonder if our depiction in question is some sort of fusion of ideas, like how the bird itself seems to...

It sort of reminds me of how every major fire article has to express how laughably ineffective the firefighter's tools were. Meaning, I get the sense that it's trying to convey a specific message. Entertaining for a moment that not all these buildings were made from scratch OR they were made...

Looks like there's some conflation going on here. "Antoine Laurent de Jussieu" was allegedly born in 1748, but there's another Antoine de Jussieu who lived from 1686 to 1758. He's Laurent's father or uncle, I'm not sure. Antoine de Jussieu Still might be some duplication going on here, but as...

Heh, that's my line! Seriously though, it bears repeating that despite all evidence and indications that our current timeline is greatly flawed to outright fraudulent, I think it's very naive to then assign sole blame to a nebulous "they" who seem to (and would really need to) exist outside of...

That's what I thought too. I also got a dodo bird vibe: Dodo bird is on the coat of arms of Mauritius, which could be interesting if that was our bird here, but I think the beak is too small. And considering the beak is all we have left, it's probably not a match. The bodies do seem similar...

That's sort of the concept here in general here, right? They're going to be mainly propelled by the water, supplemented by the steam engine to get you going and cross some small segments of land, like Fryercontraption, The critiques, like in many other examples of strange, forgotten tech, read...

That's sort of my point though. I could show you many interesting landmarks near any of the places I've resided in my lifetime, not located next to golf courses. To my eyes, signs of the previous civilization are literally everywhere, which includes golf courses. Are they hiding something in...

So, I sort of think that Biograph the company deserves its own study, and maybe this doesn't exactly apply here, but since I posted about the Biograph 68/70mm format, I've come to learn that most "modern" 70mm formats don't use all 70mm of film for the image... generally, a portion (5mm is...

Well, that video is already gone. And I'm having a problem with my link to my discussion of Biograph: 1897: Wuppertal Suspension Electric Railway by Eugen Langen So JonLevi posted this today. The relevant part is the first couple minutes: Here's a link to the video he cites and the...

"Debunking mudflood" channels? Of course there are. What joyous people those must be! I mean, I'm all about rational skepticism, but I have a inkling that's not what's going on there.

Good luck! Pretty amazing that our roads could be constructed on the roofs of old buildings. I'd also say it's amazing that you could dig up something like that in the 60s or 70s and no one batted an eye, but even today they still dig up stuff around my area which seems to show an severely...
