What in the chicken fried fuck is this? "I never learned all this so here's my belief. The experts just don't understand!"

At least he knows no one will respect his "theory".

This is the world social media created. If people think something is true, then it is. We’ve destroyed the meaning of real Truth. Everyone’s just free to make up and believe whatever they want

I think you just described religion

[–] slurpinderpin@lemmy.world 8 points 5 months ago

lol yeah dogma and superstition pretty much. But nowadays all these less than intelligent folks read something online and make it their religion

Funnily enough though there's actually a huge amount of this actually happening in egyptology right now. There's a one researcher who is absolutely despised by some Egyptian government officials and whose findings may have shown a prior decision by the office for the preservation and protection of the pyramids to be bad (they filled an area thinking it was erosion, but it may have been a groove for pulling rope through as part of the theorized pully system for getting the absolutely massive granite stones to the kings chamber). If you're interested look up the 'great void' controversy and that should set you on the right path.

I mean this guy is a fucking looney but it does actually happen to legit researchers sometimes. (Especially amateurs and lower level positions like lab techs)

Sure. Everyone makes mistakes in every field. I'm talking about the arm chair crackpots like these guys. You bring up a good point and I concede it.

Yeah I gotcha sorry if I came off argumentative

History for Granite on YouTube is pretty great too if you haven't seen his work.

He's exactly the amateur I had in mind when I was writing this comment lol. There's some other greats on YouTube for archeology anthropology and history content esp.

Hopefully he chimes in on pyramid cannon theory.
