Well, if we can't have a good, solid "contrails" thread this weekend, I guess this post will have to do.

Similar type story. I have a couple of the Dakhla glass on my office desk.

Odd!

I think we posted an FR thread on that article. King Tut has a piece of jewelery made from that glass.

On satellite pictures, they look like a huge drawing of a scarab.

Very interesting.

"the research of American scientists, who claimed that the pyramids were built from prefabricates."

Do what?

[Ernest_at_the_Beach]

ROFL!

Pre-stressed concrete panels...

I think "prefabricates" is referring to cement. Recent radiological studies of the pyramids and samples taken from them show that the blocks were not quarried and carried. Instead, cement was used to create the blocks.

The Egyptian Archaeological .... or whatever society, only recently allowed the sampling and radiological studying of the pyramids. I believe they wished to avoid confirmation of the theory that the pyramids were constructed using cement. The idea of cement kinda takes away from some of the mystique associated with the Pyramids.

Having said the above I don't why the posted article states, "The results of the Krakow geologists’ expedition do not confirm the research of American scientists, who claimed that the pyramids were built from prefabricates."
Maybe, I'm missing something.

It would have been nice to to see the satellite pictures of the craters and geoglyphs.

Thank you for taking the time and trouble to chip away at my ignorance.

I hadn't heard about the cement theory.

[dsc]

Ah.

[StructuredChaos]

I can't tell if you're being sarcastic. "chip", "away at my ignorance"? Your statement is anything but concrete. Chaulk it up to me being a blockhead.

[dsc]

Sorry for my lack of clarity. I was trying to be self-deprecating, not sarcastic, because I was embarassed at how little I know of that subject.

[Judith Anne]

Is the scarab drawing anything like the Plains of Nazca, in Peru, which also has giant drawings (spider, monkey, etc)?

[Doomonyou]

I think "prefabricates" is referring to cement.

Technically speaking, "cement" is just an ingredient of concrete, along with aggregates, sand and water. It's the "glue" that holds it all together.
