I'm guessing its an effect of upscaling/restoring the film, but the stuff in the far background, like to the right hand side, the hill and houses, looks very unnatural. Almost like they're being curved around the camera, sort of looks like a rear-projection of a painting. The water below when...

I'll be interested to read any response given to this from a mainstream perspective. Especially the maps cited. Though I suspect it'll be something along the lines of "my old documents are better than your old documents!" From my experience, it appears that the "elite" have always (and...

The arch with a direct view of a building... weird little cherub looking child (?) next to the Romans on the right.... Ghostly images carved into the stones... there's a lot going on here!

I just want to point out that there are two inscriptions on this: Falconet Notes

This is a really good post. Very detailed and I'm starting to feel like this is just scratching the surface. First, I have a couple potentially pointless observations and then maybe something decent at the end: The hill is not visible in the photo, as opposed to the rendering. Seems like there...

Heh, my wife was watching a documentary on William Wallace a couple weeks ago and this structure came up. Needless to say I was not surprised with the construction time period that is credited. Seems like a "resurgence of ... national identity in the 19th century" by means of putting up various...

I think they've given up on restoring it. Steinert Hall Closing Forever - Steinway Pianos at M. Steinert & Sons Boston The page isn't dated, but the video linked in it was only uploaded in October 2020, so it appears this is recent. I guess it could be they're leaving to start renovations...

Haha, yeah, that 1881 picture is classic. I wonder what inspired them to add the square area and ornamentation up at the top of the stupa.

I think that often what we perceive as lies are confusion and unintentional misinformation. I mean, there may be a lie too, but that lie could have originally occurred so far in the past that it unwittingly becomes the paradigm that everyone operates under. If there were some major cataclysms...

There is a text link there: Full text of "Études biologiques sur les géants" And hopefully this is in English after its been run through the Google machine, I can't tell because my browser autotranslates: Full text of "Études biologiques sur les géants" There's some interesting language...

I think the description in the alarmy print is worth adding: So based off a mummy medal from Egypt and sounds like this piece is credited to John Peter Bellori who is: Giovanni Pietro Bellori So that'd be pre-1741 then. The print could still be 1741. In fact, that definitely seems to be...

No, it's great. Very Columbo. If it could, the mud would be confessing its guilt now. It is funny how animal remains have to always be ritualistic. I mean, people have (and do) make sacrifices, but as I think Freud said, sometimes a chicken is just delicious. Jokes aside, I actually wanted to...

Dang it, jd, always so reasoned and rational. Why can't you just let me toy with the idea that all these clothes are standard Vault issue for the folks designed to repopulate the Earth? ;)

This is missing the point. It's not that light diffraction isn't a thing... It's that despite visual indicators to the contrary, it is claimed that sunrays travel in parallel lines and because they do, we can then use them for the purposes of mathematically deriving distances. If sun rays are...

Light diffraction is offered as an explanation, but it seems to me that it is based on the presumption of the sun's light rays being parallel. As with much of cosmology (and what else passes for science), we presume a condition and then develop what are seemingly reasonable explanations, while...

I've commented on this before (in the memory hole, haha) but this number still strikes me as ridiculous. So that's about 280,000 square feet. Nowadays, it seems this is the consensus: ratio numbers of elevators per area. I can see the dense population issue, but this building only appears to...

From what I'm gathering, the Dempster Highway is strictly the route from Dawson City to Inuvik. That's what you have provided the construction history for (completed in 1979). The section in question is apparently just the Inuvik-Tuktoyaktuk Highway, completed in 2017. Just mentioning because...

The distance to any celestial object is pure guesswork that's that inserted into trigonometry to make it seem credible. Everyone's favorite moon hoax debunker/NASA apologist, Phil Plait, on the origin of the modern day value: Phil Plait's Bad Astronomy: Mad Science Better to be lucky than...

Everyone was just so talented back then. I'd like to see the crappy Expo... you know, the one that didn't quite come together. The buildings aren't quite square, or some of them are just a wall because they ran outta time. But nah, they're all perfect in always about a year all across the world...

How about not aliens or the sun/moon (well, not exactly anyway...)? The Jetsons car on the right has two eight pointed stars, which is Inanna/Ishtar's most common symbol (also equates to Venus). The fireball and it's driver on the left sure sounds like: Utu - Wikipedia Inanna - Wikipedia Utu...
