Found this video that defends the great flood. It even shows geological evidence of a worldwide cataclysmic event.
However, one thing that "nags" me is that they describe a world ending-type event involving dinosaurs and other creatures that would have lived much before men walked earth. So, how does Noah's timeframe (and the animals he supposedly saved) coincide with it? Noah''s Flood and Catastrophic Plate Tectonics (from Pangea to Today) ver. 1.1 Unless I am missing something? ETA to add this video also worth watching. 5 Amazing Finds Beneath the Sands of the Sahara |

Imagine in a time when documenting stuff was in the hands of a few and those few under a despotic ruler who did not like people questioning him/her. Romans set the Alexandrias's library ablaze and wiped out unimaginable History and knowledge. Imagine what else was either wiped out or changed to conform to someone's desires. Then add to several folks nowadays putting their personal interests above the real facts and findings. I am leaning towards the "very old" timeline (pre-flood) for at least part of its (possibly several others) construction, until we can get really solid evidence about what really happened there.

Hey Brass, is that you? ...and the “I want to believe”, crowd goes wild.... There are many people who ask around here what happend to and it's just gone. Allegedly one of the Tribes or Smithsonian, to figure out which of the tribes, o where nobody knows even in the tribe. Sort of like the story above. There are a lot of "Heritage Museums" around here, but after a while, how many copies of similar items are needed before deciding it's not needed and say give to a different museum. Even to similar ones in Europe where settlers from Germany, Norway, Sweden, etc can see what happened in the "new world". If the Smithsonian decides to be involved, they always have room. |

@6gunz
This guy makes a case the translated bible we read today has missed the mark for biblical timeline, due to mistranslation. Whereas the septuagint and a couple others have correct timelines: this places the flood at 3000BC then the tower of Babel when there was enough people (at a normal birth rate from 8 people) to build it. Then the pyramids come on the scene after God scattered them. Like he says, no wonder secular archeologists and egyptologists claim the bible is BS. Even now the movie patterns of evidence is uncovering the secular denial behind the YUGE semite population found in egypt, but they say the exodus didnt happen due to a 19th century mistranslation of hieroglyphics.

Young earthers, while they mean well, use the flood to explain everything. I just don't think it cuts it. They make a great many wonderful points when it comes to the absurdity of academia, but I just can't reconcile what we see with an earth that's only 6,000 years old. If you believe in an old earth, then there's no reason to assume that the pyramids are post flood. The layer they're built on could have been deposited at any time in the last few hundred million years. As for the water damage, the stones we see today wouldn't have been exposed to the flood. But the water damage we see in the enclosures, in the context of draining floodwaters, makes perfect sense. |

View Quote I know I've mentioned this already, but in mythology there is a link between the pyramids and the tower of Babel. But since you brought it up, I'll summarize it real quick. Josephus says there were two pyramids built before the flood, one out of stone (the great pyramid), and one out of clay brick. The clay brick pyramid was destroyed. The implication is that the tower of Babel was meant to rebuild the lost clay brick pyramid that had been destroyed in the flood. According to legend, Nimrod fully expected that God would flood the earth again in order to stop him from succeeding, just like he had stopped the pre flood civilization from succeeding in whatever it was they were doing. So he built a fifty foot high wall around the tower of Babel, since the flood waters were said to only be about forty feet high. The main idea here is that if Nimrod expected his actions to trigger another flood, it only makes sense that he knew he was repeating the thing that had triggered the first flood. Now the Bible says the tower of Babel was meant to reach the heavens. We think of heavens as heaven, but in the Bible there are multiple heavens, and one heaven that it talks about is the dimension that contains the imprisoned fallen angels. "Heavens" is really the Bible's way of saying other dimensions. So, according to a literal interpretation of scripture, they were trying to reach other dimensions with the tower of Babel, as opposed to being simpletons who thought heaven was up in the clouds and could be reached with a tall tower. That wasn't peoples' idea of "heaven" back then anyways. Especially in Babylonian thought, their heaven was in the underworld, just like the Greeks and Egyptians, so heaven for them was subterranean, not atmospheric. If they thought they could literally reach heaven by conventional means, spatially speaking, they would have dug a giant mine shaft, as opposed to building a tower. Then you have the emerald tablets, which say the great pyramid's original function was to free the gods who were trapped in the underworld. These were the same gods who had built the pre flood civilization, and were judged and imprisoned by God about a thousand years before the flood. So the complete picture you get is that the people before the flood built the two pyramids as part of some kind of interdimensional portal intended to free their gods from Tartarus. God prevents them from doing that with the flood, but then Nimrod tries to pick up where they left off, in an attempt to reestablish the Atlantean golden age by getting their old gods back. Then God confuses their language and that puts a sudden stop to things. The mere idea that confusing their language stopped the project makes it seem like it was more than just a simple tower. Especially if they were building it using pre flood documents written in a language that they could no longer understand. Josephus said that the great pyramid was at least in part to preserve pre flood knowledge. So when it became clear they weren't going to finish the project before the flood destroyed them, they may have written down all their technological knowledge and stored it in the great pyramid so that people on the other side of the flood could pick up where they left off. The apocrypha does say that post flood descendants of Ham went and dug up a pre flood city, and found what it calls the forbidden knowledge of the watchers in that city. |

The guy who first discovered soft tissue in a fossil was actually fired, and successfully sued the university for wrongful termination.

Nevertheless, if that video's author is correct, that flood he described and backed by geological evidence happened way before Noah. It does not mean a big flood happened in Noah's time. It just might not have been global as believed. And as far as data that do not match the expectations being buried, I do not have any doubts about it. Just loom at the current "climate change" debacle. I just wonder all the stuff buried or burned in the past (and not so recent past). |

Here's a list
Photos aren't all encompassing for most, some just show a main feature, same with the other "top x" sites. I don't remember where I saw an entire photo album of them, maybe it was on 500px.com a few years ago? Wiki is useful for them, sources have more Many to look at, lots of amazing. These are cool as they went in, rather than down. Not as complex, but still awesome display of skill. |

Came out in mid 90s, and the way web design went to current can be seen when you listen to the book, though the book goes further with capabilities. Google actually stole "Earth" from him for the software he used in the book with the exact same (but live) function. So, congrats, your post reminded me of that more than other things I could recall directly that had them combined. You've studied more of this than I, and I've read a lot. View Quote What makes it most frustrating is that there's a lot of intentional contradictions, used as allusions. Mythology, the Bible especially, is trying to tell a story from multiple dimensions. The Bible is by far the worst (or best, depending on how you look at it). They also viewed time as being cyclical, and viewed events and people as archetypes that kept repeating themselves. It's very good at communicating a big picture view of things that are beyond human understanding, but at the same time it's very frustrating when you're trying to pin down details. |

I mean, the Sphinx is the only thing there that's at all aesthetic, and there's no evidence that it was there in Sphinx form when the pyramids were built. It could have easily been something entirely practical, then the Sphinx was added on later ad hoc style by the Egyptians. Even if the Sphinx was there, it could have just been a dedication thing. I mean, go to any large dam in the world and you'll see monuments commemorating the building. |

I watched a documentary years ago on some temple in India that had like three huge doors and one couldn’t be opened because of some end of the world curse or something to that effect. It peaked my interest in all this and have been interested in this sort of stuff since then.
