When they scrape what’s left of Gospodin Putin off of anything, he will have been replaced by someone as bad or worse, as usual in Russian politics. But the Russians don’t look at it as we do - they want a strong leader who will defend the motherland at all costs.
I thought that the ‘poured in place’ theory had pretty much been debunked as the internal structure of a poured stone is much different that a naturally occuring stone; and no one has found an actual ‘poured’ stone.
Poured stones may exist, but no one has found one that can be proved to have been poured.
Putin’s the worse there is, unless he’s replaced by a mullah of course. What Russians want is irrelevant. They are too used to the yoke to recognize the value of liberty, or, they emigrate. The only middle ground is among those who want to run the criminal syndicate that is euphemistically called the Russian gov’t, or those who want to replace it with a different label but the same basic functioning.
The poured stone theory has never been debunked at all. The stones are difficult to study, of course, because Egypt’s antiquities are under regime control, but the only real studies have shown results consistent with a poured origin. Period.
