Thank you Harte. You are right, I looked at the website that had a brief and apparently inaccurate description of the site, was flabbergasted by the size of the stones, and just decided to post it as it was presented. Shame on me. Your critical thinking and investigation into background and context of these “enigmas” is exactly what I hope to inspire here.
You are quite welcome. Glad to dispel some of the fog that I myself once dwelled in concerning these sorts of pseudoarchaeological claims.

The websites that you posted yesterday are also very informative in this regard. I spent most of the afternoon yesterday reading them.
I've spent some time collecting links to information that, to me, is far more fascinating than anything Graham Hancock has ever fabricated and put to the page.

You might like to read what I wrote to one of the woo-woos that responded to me in another thread:

hey harte your a closed minded jackass

Coward 190206,

You're welcome to your opinion, as am I. Speaking of which, here's mine.

You are an ignorant idiot. Ignorance, of course, is not a fault. An ignorant person merely is unaware of the facts. IOW, an ignorant person need not remain so, since facts are available and it is possible to learn them.

But you are an idiot because you wish to remain ignorant. You want to wallow in the filth of your own comfortable ignorance. It disturbs you when someone tries to shine a light on any fact that contradicts the flawed world view you've concocted based on this ignorance.

For example, an ignorant person can be misled by the authors mentioned in the title of this thread. They can develop an erroneous world view based on the scams perpetrated on them by these con men.

The difference is, the ignorant person, having become informed, becomes angry at the authors that lied to them. The idiot, on the other hand, becomes angry at the person that informed them.

Harte

I was myself once ignorant. I was taken in by Erich VonDaniken. When I found out I'd been had, I became angry at myself as well as EVD. Thus the crusade began!

You obviously have an interest in these types of investigations and your input is much appreciated.

Christopher.

You might like to read some of the discussions at some of the other sites I mentioned in the above threrad I linked to. Primarily the Ancient and Lost Civilizations section at hairy_ballz.

Here's some more fabrications from Hancock: [link to www.grahamhancock.com]

I thought I'd beat the inevitibility of death to death just a little bit.

One of the nice things about knowing something first-hand is that you can compare it against claims or statements from people you don't know to figure out if they're singin' it or slingin' it.

One of the first articles from your citation was one about Ponape in Micronesia and the Nan Madol ruins. "Bingo", says I, because I grew up in Microneisia, am a scuba diver, and had visited (and dived) all over Micronesia (including Ponape and Kosrae) a month ago [link to www.duncankunz.smugmug.com] so I figured out if this article was bogus I would know it.

Well, it is bogus, and, yes I know it. Whomever wrote that site seems to have cherry-picked things to get his point across. For example, he talks about "prismatic basalt" in words that imply it was man-made; whereas it's a naturally-occurring type of basalt. The fact that Nan Madol was built in a formation of that stuff (including the areas in 200 meters of water) doesn't mean that the Saudeleur (Ponapeian for "old ones") built those "columns" underwater.

It doesn't. Those columnar formation are natural hexagons, just like the basalt in the "Giant's Causeway".

I don't know about the rest of his stuff -- at least, not enough to use it as a BS-filter. But the stuff I do know about, Hancock is wrong. That doesn't give me very much confidence in him as a credible resource.

Those western imperialist warmongers beat us to the Moon. Damn!
