Wow! Amazing lost technology. Utter brilliance. like Maillardet's Automaton or the Antikythera Mechanism, we have yet to see the apex of (currently put to bed by the Integrated Circuit industry)...physical memory devices still holds validity to modern needs, methinks.

An EMP won't stop this bitch from multiplying!

You need to do your research seriously! if your questioning the Christopher Columbus knowing the earth was circular. Most civilizations knew this they just didn't know where america was.

The problem with what your saying is this.. This guy died telling the truth unlike you! You really need to watch all 7 parts to understand what your
dealing with. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0zgSCLBK6L4&feature=related
Aliens already made deals with your government WAKE THE #*$($ UP! Seriously this guy is dead.. you want the proof he shows it.
So yeah keep being ignorant you know nothing of real history and the real story at least I know and will know till you DIE!

You obviously have me confused with someone who has a strong belief in anything at all. I believe what I see, hear, taste, touch and fuck, combined with a rudimentary rationale to sift through as much insane, incorrect and just plain dumb ideas as possible. I don't like religion and politics because the tenets of most expect you to believe something a little (a lot?) crazy and unprovable, plus you gotta join their club; which is just asking to be spoon fed idiocy. (But what should I expect from an insane race of mammals that are raised from a young age to believe in Santa Claus and manifest destiny)

Just the same, I don't believe in aliens. Shit, for all I know, everything I see on television and the internet is a back drop for the greatest lie ever told: reality.

However, rest assured, if the aliens do come and they are bad, I will be the first to join the human alliance; and, just the same, if a dystopian new world order threatens my freedom (or at least my overall happiness) I will join the rebellion, because I am an idealist halfway to enlightenment, a humanitarian, a warrior spirit (German, Irish and Cherokee) and a goddamn bad person to mess with if cornered.

Who is your teacher?

As my Teacher would say please don't call yourself a Scientist. if you did any research into the Antikythera Mechanism care to tell me who made it? Please show me. Otherwise I have a right to ask why! For example this crap is still taught in history that Christopher Columbus though the Earth was FLAT! Back then they knew the earth was round.. They just didn't know the distances. You can call me crazy all you want. The Truth is you stoped caring to know the truth long ago. Sadly I never stoped asking why! nor did I stop caring especially when i've seen some many strange things. You also forgot one question to ask yourself!
If lets say Aliens do exist and are wanting control of this planet cause they come from different places, didn't it not happen to cross your mind that some are good or wanting to help mankind out? or how about the fact you still work for someone are you truely free.. while people who are running big corporations get a easy bail out? I think you don't ask why much at all. If you want the truth go out to S4 at Area 51. If you want the truth go digging through thousands of sites like http://www.theblackvault.com or http://www.majesticdocuments.com which have thousands of government documents. Once your done reading all of that then come back and tell me I am wrong otherwise prove me wrong.

If you still think this is all BS! that is fine but your family will soon be caught up in this war some day whether you like it or not.

*engineering at least for the antikythera mechanism.

oh, and *femme and *horrorshow for the ovulation footage.

Wow, that's neat! I never knew what the antikythera mechanism was.

Comparing the Antikythera Mechanism to a jet liner in an Egyptian tomb is the silliest thing I've heard since Steve Jobs said the Segway would revolutionize the roadways. This device is indeed amazing, but hardly a case of aliens hindering human advancement. (More like time travelers stopping the world's early destruction imo)

Now, let's say aliens did destroy the ship carrying this object to halt our progression -- why?

To slow us down because their holocaust ships were too far off world to reach us in time if the industrial revolution started so soon? Why stop there? Why not systematically hinder all human advancement? Is it resources they're after? Slaves? If so, they'd simply halt us from achieving any progress.

Or was it... to prevent the human creator of the mechanism from having an unfair advantage, becoming a sole super power and enslaving mankind? In that case, if the aliens did this, then they're here to put a stop to any sort of dystopian new world order; therefore, I embrace them, til shown otherwise.

So many conclusions with a basis outside reality and in the realm of science fiction...

You're right, I don't have a clue what you're getting at. Make some sense and maybe I'll stop laughing. Honestly, I gave you some cred earlier, but now I'm beginning to think perhaps you're one of the least convincing trolls I've ever heard.

Prove me wrong. If you're privy to such information, at least try and teach me the truth without resorting to esoteric ideas with no believable plot elements... the truth usually has a nice ring to it, even when there are missing pieces, this simply does not ring true to me. Sorry, like I said, prove me wrong. I've never known a man or woman with a more open mind than myself, but I also have a hard time believing bullshit. Even my own.

How about I show you a device that wasn't suppose to exist.
I am sure your aware of this little surprise?

http://www.portifex.com/BSPages/FridayFronts/H0511.htm
Clockwork computer can predict the movement of stars and planets.. Made in Ancient Greece or around that Era.. No Mechanism can be found world wide at that point in time. No mention of clockwork technology being used on planet Earth. In 1971 the mechanism was X-Rayed.. They were shocked to find out it was far more complex then the clocks from the 1500's.

It was so sophisticated De Solla Price - "It was like discovering a jet liner in a ancient egyptian Tomb"
Was clearly owned by someone.. This is a Device.. it was kept away from mankind otherwise the industrial revolution would have happened before the birth of Jesus Christ. You have no Clue what your dealing with nor will I ever let you know. End of Line! your ignorance will be your downfall..

good bye

Concerning the other physical evidence it shows to me "Obvious" things (ancient artwork which doesn't make sense) which if you can't see then of course your not going to believe it. Some people still think the earth is flat!

I see what you're saying: That 90% of tech submissions would be of the geeky nature...

In reply to this comment by dag:
I hear what you're saying, but I still think the cross-over would be too great. 90% of the tech posts would also be geek posts. That means we're taking up 2 channels where 1 would have done. With growing channel proliferation, we want to conserve those 7 allotted channel spots to be as distinct as possible.

In reply to this comment by MarineGunrock:
Choggie, you must live in Maine, because it's exactly how you described it.
Than you all for the wonderful comments, and Dag, about the channel thing:
I argue that the crossover is MUCH less than people have made it to be.

For example, I cite these videos:
http://www.videosift.com/video/Solar-Air-Conditioning
http://www.videosift.com/video/The-Antikythera-mechanism
http://www.videosift.com/video/The-Aquaduct-pedal-powered-water-filtering-vehicle
http://www.videosift.com/video/Computerized-model-of-how-a-Gatling-gun-works
http://www.videosift.com/video/Get-tasered-from-100-feet-away

Things like that get slapped with "geek" even though it really is more of a plain "tech" thing.


I think Rembar (where the hell IS that guy?) summed it up nicely in this channel.
