Has anyone here been watching the TV series, "Ancient Aliens" on the History Channel? A lot of it I've seen before on other similar TV shows but It's IMO that this format is the best anyone has ever put together and there's a whole lot of new material!:thumbup:
I don't know if anyone here is interested in the subject of UFO's besides Danny in Japan and myself so I'm posting this just to see. :thumbup: Not only am I interested in UFO's and the folks who have been termed "Ancient Aliens" but also the apparent technology that was available to our ancient ancestors. Some of the things they're showing in the series Ancient Aliens is nearly beyond belief!
On the latest show in the series one fellow used the dimensions from one of the very small gold artifacts that looks very much like an airplane and increased the dimensions to a flyable model's size and then built a model using those exact dimensions. It's kind of a strange looking airplane because it has an open area in between what appears to be the cabin and the cargo area. What was so amazing is that the aircraft flew perfectly!!!!! Check it out.... http://www.philipcoppens.com/bbl_plane.html
I've been watching the TV Series, "Ancient Aliens" on the History Channel and on one of the 2 hour shows they had an Engineer/Machinist that had visited Egypt with an eye for Engineering/Machining Techniques and like he said, "If you're looking at something with a particular eye toward it you're liable to find evidence of whatever your looking for with no problems." and unsurprisingly that's what happened.
Interestingly he wasn't the only one with an eye out for tool marks as I discovered when I got too looking around and being an old retired machinist myself I can tell you that what they found is nothing short of astounding!!!!!
While checking out some info on Puma Punku in Bolivia I stumbled across some more interesting things/subjects dealing with UFO's and Egypt such as machining stone with machine tools.....
This link takes one to several examples of Ancient South American Stonework, and too the scientific community what are some really weird and outrageous claims of working said stone.

And maybe although it not ought to be, because of the mystery of how such stonework was fitted together to begin with; What's of the most interest to me is the last picture shown on the page of the above link because of its, to me, indisputable evidence of Precision Machine Tooling!!!!! Here's the direct link to the picture, this is one of the stones at Puma Punku in Bolivia..... (What's so interesting about this stone and the machined groove is that said groove is 6 mm's wide and evidently the holes are the same or just a tad smaller. Gang - 6 mm's wide equals .2362" slightly more than 3/16" slightly less than 1/4 inch!!!!)

This link takes one to a marvelous, several page, example of Ancient Egyptian Stone Technology.....

This link has nine pages of examples and information on Advanced Machining in Ancient Egypt.....

This link is a YouTube video of the stones and area at Puma Punku in Bolivia, if you've got a bit over 6 minutes it's a great watch. Remember that, "The Gate of the Sun" is cut outta one solid block of granite!!!!
It's unfortunate that it cracked probably somewhere in the distant past.
