Egyptian Tools for major construction.

Through extensive study, archaeological findings and evidence, experimental archaeology(some of which started in the 1890s) and reviewing of ancient accounts has actually given modern archaeologists a detailed picture of many aspects of pyramid construction:  by continuing experimentation with these methods, continued archaeology, and new discoveries keep allowing us to theorize and recreate the ancient Egyptian methods of pyramid construction.

Göbekli Tepe: NO ALIENS DID NOT BUILD IT. Sources inside!!

I am REUSING THIS.   Updated accordingly to deal with the fact that the issue of Gobekli Tepe being misrepresented... again.    

In Feburary, over the course of six hours, I  had well over a dozen people on TikTok either tag me or message me a video about this girl and her four part series on Gobekli Tempe, an ancient site located in Turkey.  More Pseudoscience abounded here, With a not surprising lack of sources, dismissal of actual research, a failure to point out the context of inscriptions and carvings and artifacts found at the site, and all of the other hogwash that comes from theories that are out in left field and have something to do with the fucking aliens.  Claims of it predating things in human history......and I had to slap it down.

And it has reared its head again:  the pseudo science

The failure to cite sources

The Postulations of people who have followed the conspiracy rabbit holes that have created their opinions based on the writings of  authors like Graham Hancock, authors who have  given their own opinion and interpretation as fact.  

So here we go again.

Listen up:

Gobekli Tepe, based on hard evidence, is 12000 years old. 

Ceramics: 25-30,000 years old

Pottery Specifically: 18500 years old.

Agriculture: Domesticated Plants and farming, 11500 years old

Domesticated Livestock:  Between 11 and 13,000 years old. 

I will give it to her, that Gobekli Tepe predates the wheel.

I recommend Ardbeg Wee Beastie, a 5 year single malt Islay Scotch, to deal with this sort of shenanigans.  

Once again,  I am flummoxed by the modern American’s inability to give credit to a realistic thing, and ALWAYS default to the notion that “Aliens Did It.”    Seriously, what in the actual fuck?    Let’s look at a thing, say “We dont know at the moment how it was done” and then immediately go running head fucking long into the most ridiculous, out in the stands idea that has absolutely no fucking proof, and squeal, “ALIENS MUST HAVE SHOWED UP AND DID IT”,  and swallow it like a trout on a fly lure.   If you were charged with a crime with the same sort of evidence that we archaeologists have supporting that aliens built Gobekli Tepe or the Pyramids or any other massive engineering feat that cant be attributed to white people,  you would be screaming and demanding a retrial.     

Flat fucking blows my mind.   


SO MUCH SO THAT I WENT AND FOUND YOU SOURCES!!!!!

Seriously, wasn’t hard, which proves that people are LAZY.   @Occultbot on twitter is not a fucking source.   The fact that people buy that, as well.....fuck.   Why am I not rich?  I could get people to buy fake artifacts and ancient aliens hats too.  

Oh, Right.  I have a soul.   

ANYWAY, Sources.

SOURCES ON THE CELTS.....ALL OF THEM.

 Celtic Peoples of  Europe: This analogy may anger some folks, but I believe it applies here.  The term  "Celts" or "Celtic People" is, in reality, akin to the term "Native American" or " American Indigenous Culture/People".    Neither really refer to a specific people of a specific band, but to a mass grouping of peoples and tribes and clans and what have you that all have similarities in culture, range, genetic backgrounds, etc.    Both examples are broad, all encompassing titles that, despite how broad they are,  are readily and easily recognizable on the surface.  However, neither are as cut and dried as that, and both terms should always come with a Realization AND Recognition that there is far more information and identity there.

THE SOURCES

First off, I am going to cheat.  The easiest sources are at the top, The more detailed stuff at the bottom.  but for the expediant nature of this source list, the quick and dirty sources that have listed lots of sources for me (see, a cheat code) will be listed first.

 4. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_ancient_Celtic_peoples_and_tribes

 5. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Celts

Here are the easy to look at sources!!  Keep in mind, there are further resources at the bottom of each article, and bibliographies.

THE PICTS. Though this required.

BELOW.......here is the list....of all the main sources and references I could find in brief short minutes about the Celts, Celts in Briton, the Picts....  there is a laundry list here, and it is LONG.
