Anyone else have a baffling question that needs answered?

This one always blows my mind. How/why do prisoners get time off for good behavior?

Who knows, why doesnt the US Congress get arrested for using the Enron Accounting system?

Stonehenge... bronze age religious calendar. <grin> I like my answer better.

Now what I want to know is how the ancient Egyptians were able to make beryllium bronze implements (found in Tutankhamen's tomb) that we can only refine really intense high tech refining processes.

If you aren't familiar with beryllium bronze alloy, it is harder than steel and does not create sparks. Commonly found in (expensive) spark proof tools for working on pipe carrying flammable liquids and gasses. It also makes great edged weapons that don't corrode in seawater. (Yes, stainless steel rusts like crazy in seawater)

The same aliens that helped them build the pyramids helped them with their metal refining.

I'd be very interested in a link to any data showing Beryllium in Tuts' tomb.

In return, I offer this one.

And what the heck, this too

http://www.gizapower.com/Precision.htm

Summary : First person account. Giza plateau observations by a machinist of assorted impossible artifacts.

Beryllium is QUITE toxic. Refining it is VERY involved. And it is far from obvious the ore is a metal. An example in Tuts' tomb would be absolute proof of technology comparable to the present day.

I googled. I got zip.

That guy didn't bother to understand that the sheathing stones were cut off much later than when they were put on the pyramids.

What bothers me is that none of the people involved in explaining these "mysteries" understand that they had virtually unlimited slave power. They could have had generations of people whose only purpose in existence (according to the taskmasters) was to polish a single stone.

Back to the sci-fi sitcom from Britain: Red Dwarf.

RIMMER: No, Lister, I mean like the pyramids. How did they move such massive pieces of stone without the aid of modern technology?
LISTER: They had massive whips, Rimmer. Massive, massive whips.
RIMMER: All right, then, the Bermuda Triangle. Go on, explain that one. You know all the answers.
LISTER: No, I agree there. That is a genuine mystery. How did a song like that ever become a hit? It defies all reason.

If you are insanely patient and are possessed of infinite resolve (or you have slave labor) you can build all of those thins with ease.

I remember watching a history channel special where they tried to erect an obelisk. It was obvious to me that they didn't bother consulting a single engineer while doing so. So how they raised obelisks remains a "mystery."

A mystery that any engineer I could solve in ten minutes even using ancient tech. Actually, I could do it with some shovels, one lever, and some rope.

We, living in the techno-information age, can be blind to the fact that, while ancient people didn't have our technological background, weren't stupid.

Please allow me to repeat myself, without the distraction of actual data to poo-poo.

Show me the Beryllium.

Alright, prisoners get off for good behavior because bad behavior is not sexually stimulating.
