Easter Island Mystery Solved? New Theory Says Giant Statues Rocked

National Geographic News

“For centuries, scientists have tried to solve the mystery of how the colossal stone statues of Easter Island moved. Now there’s a new theory—and it rocks.

The multiton behemoths traveled up to 11 miles (18 kilometers) from the quarry where most of them were carved, without the benefit of wheels, cranes, or even large animals.

Scientists have tested many ideas in the past, figuring that the islanders must have used a combination of log rollers, ropes, and wooden sledges. Now a pair of archaeologists have come up with a new theory: Perhaps the statues, known as moai, were “engineered to move” upright in a rocking motion, using only manpower and rope…”

Have you ever wondered if we are someone else’s dream? And if so, whose dream are we? Ancient religions have posed these questions for thousands of years, and science may finally be catching up…

Physicists testing to see if universe is a computer simulation

“Could this be a computer simulation? (Space.com)

Will you take the red pill or the blue pill?

Some physicists and university researchers say it’s possible to test the theory that our entire universe exists inside a computer simulation, like in the 1999 film “The Matrix.”

In 2003, University of Oxford philosophy professor Nick Bostrom published a paper, “The Simulation Argument,” which argued that, “we are almost certainly living in a computer simulation.” Now, a team at Cornell University says it has come up with a viable method for testing whether we’re all just a series of numbers in some ancient civilization’s computer game…”

Are we a species with Amnesia? What is the real history of ancient Egypt and the world?

So much evidence points to the idea that a very advanced civilization existed in antiquity, and was destroyed at the end of the last ice age when massive floods overtook the globe. The worldwide flood myths alone support this idea, and as it turns out the Egyptians also have a flood myth – all signs point to their civilization blooming out of the ashes of the survivors of a lost land that was overcome by water – could it be Atlantis?

Author and lecturer Graham Hancock has a very eloquent talk about all this that he presented recently at the 2012 Conference. He ties it all together in a way that is very, very convincing indeed –
