Pyramidiocy

What did the human race do for this kind of entertainment when they were still "old stone age?" What kind of conspiracy theories abounded then?
"We recall a remark made by Giorgio de Santillana and Hertha von Dechend in Hamlet's Mill to the effect that the great strength of myths as vehicles for specific technical information is that they are capable of transmitting that information independently of the knowledge of individual story-tellers. In other words as long as a myth continues to be told true, it will also continue to transmit any higher message that may be concealed within its structure - even if neither the teller nor the hearer understands that message."
- Robert Bauval and Graham Hancock, from "Keeper of Genesis".
They didn't have conspiracies so much as secrets.
Secrets which were encoded by the original secret societies, and handed down through us ignorant mortals as religions and mythology, that only the 'Keepers of the Mysteries' could decode.
For example the flood: How many countries, tribes, cultures have a legend of a great flood, and how similar are their different legends?

This shows through mathematics alone, eventually, that the Ancients knew the distances needed for a satellite to achieve geostationary orbit around not only Earth, but also the Moon, and encoded it into the design of the Pyramids! (oh no! not another pyramidiot
)
How the hell did they, or why the hell would they need to, know these things?
Or maybe it's just a fluke of coincidence?
For one
theory on why these myths exist and the ancient roots of conspiracies check this out:

Even if you don't agree with everything they present (personally I prefer the scientific discoveries they present, since I dont' trust the channelled crap) you will at least know what the woohoo's are on about. :wink:
Basically it all comes down to a knowledge of the '
Ether' and it's ramifications for modern science, ancient history and the basis of Religion (as explanation for the 'spirit'-world).
It is the Main thing that has been deliberately hidden from general knowledge since ancient times - but with the advent of Internet can no longer be held back (which is why there are more and more wacky conspiracies coming out to make All conspiracies seem not worth bothering with)
:
-If you are interested to know the missing link between Spirituality and Science, and how Alien life or long distance space travel is possible do a few searches on the '
Ether' or 'Hyperdimensional physics' or Nikola Tesla or Thomas Bearden.
Most skeptics would probably have comfortably debunked these for themselves, but there is alot of science involved with these topics. It's not all just wacky UFO stories (even though alot of whacky's have latched onto it).
"Words should not be withheld from the worthy, but the unworthy will be annoyed by the words of real men. The hearts of the unworthy and those who are alienated from reality are like wicks that have been drenched in water instead of oil. No matter how much fire you put to such a wick it will not burn."
- Shihab al-Din al-Suhrawardi,The Mystical and Visionary Treatises, 12th century C.E.
"Without seeking, truth cannot be known at all. It can neither be declared from pulpits, nor set down in articles, nor in any wise prepared and sold in packages ready for use. Truth must be ground for every man by itself ... with such help as he can get, indeed, but not without stern labor of his own."
- John Ruskin

, but to show that it was still 'on topic' I just had to go and mention the 'Ether'. None of the links were to pay sites (or mine in any way), in fact one of them is an entire free book on the subject.
