Well… this is awkward. I’ve done a complete 360.... I originally believed the basalt floor tool marks east of Khufu’s pyramid were ancient saw cuts and possibly evidence of lost technology. Then a 180. A few years ago, I made a video arguing they were modern. George Reisner’s Harvard expedition worked extensively in this area, a modern road once crossed over these stones, and I’d heard accounts from locals describing how people used modern tools to remove stone for the forgery trade. Given all that, it seemed like a reasonable conclusion at the time. After taking a much closer look today, however, I’ve changed my mind. I’m now convinced these cuts are ancient.💯 That doesn’t mean the technique was impossible for the ancient Egyptians. Clearly, it wasn’t. But aspects of how they achieved these cuts may still be lost to us. So the “modern cuts” debunking theory can now be placed quietly in the bin. Chalk one up for the alternative historians and YouTubers who argued these cuts were ancient. They were right after all, and I stand corrected. Funny old thing, evidence. It has an inconvenient habit of changing minds.show more

🧵 Mind-blowing ancient tech alert: In a cave in... Armenia, archaeologists found a 5,500-year-old leather shoe — perfectly preserved, complete with laces, and it would still fit a modern foot today. Discovered in 2008 in the Areni-1 cave, this Copper Age masterpiece is older than the Egyptian pyramids. It was made from a single piece of cowhide, stuffed with grass for cushioning, and shows incredible craftsmanship. Nobody knows the exact maker… but one thing is clear: our ancestors 5,500 years ago were far from primitive. Ancient humans were innovators. This shoe proves it. 🔥 🎥 chronoarchivesofficialshow more

Facial reconstruction of an 8,500-year-old man from Karelia The... hunter-gatherers of Karelia belonged to the EHG cluster - a mixture of ANE and WHG. Their Y-DNA lineages were diverse, including Q, J, and R1a, as were their mtDNA lineages. These included ANE- and WHG-associated haplogroups such as U5, U4, U2e and R1b, but also C, an East Eurasian mtDNA lineage. Morphologically, they were equally diverse, encompassing an ancient Northern European type with Cro-Magnon features, an ancient Baltic European type with Cro-Magnon features, and an ancient Paleo-Mоngоloid type with Cro-Magnon features. This specimen was described by the anthropologist Mikhail Gerasimov as follows: This skull possesses a significant number of archaic features characteristic of typical Cro-Magnons. It is probably closest to the Predomost skull. However, alongside these archaic features, a number of others not characteristic of the Cro-Magnon type emerge: a relatively high vault, a thin outline of the cheekbones, and a general gradation of the facial region - all of these are no longer Cro-Magnon traits. However, the combination of all these features allows us to characterize it as an Archaic European, and physiognomically, this type is most closely related to the Baltic type: an upturned nose, a small prochilia of the mouth, and a weakly projecting chin - all of this corresponds to the Baltic type. We do not think it likely that it was specifically at this time that the Baltic anthropological type began to develop in this area. But later, having undergone a complex path of epochal change, having become considerably more gracile, it yielded the modern Baltic type, in which, however, it is not difficult to discern the features of the ancient Oleni Ostrov man. A detailed reconstruction gives a clear picture of a man with a pear-shaped face, a large upturned nose, a sloping forehead, and deep-set eyes. Even today, among the northern Pomors, one can sometimes encounter precisely this type of ancient Baltic man. He had a large cranial length of 188 mm, small cranial width of 136 mm, and a massive cheek width of 151 mm.show more

Today I had my first demo drive in a... Tesla. It was also my first time ever sitting in one. This was the first car I’ve ever sat in the driver’s seat of where I didn’t touch the steering wheel for over 20 miles. Before I even got to the car, the people who had demoed it before me were an older married couple who were absolutely euphoric. They thought it was so cool that the car could drive itself. The Tesla employee told me this happens all the time. People come back from demo drives and tell the next test driver that they’re about to have an amazing experience. Little did I know, I’d end up carrying on the torch to the next couple demoing it after me. There was a ton of construction where I demoed the car, and FSD handled the entire drive extremely well. And yes, it can go through a drive-thru and stop at each window. The only thing I had to do was tap the pedal because it wouldn’t leave on its own, but it was still wild seeing the AI stop perfectly at the second window and wait. There are a million things I could write about why a Tesla feels like a better car and how much more it offers compared to a regular car. But for now, I’ll stick to FSD. There were only two moments that made me a little uneasy. The first was pretty minor. The car slightly hesitated going up a driveway, but quickly made up its mind. The second was more noticeable. I didn’t realize the car was nagging me. Once I touched the steering wheel, nothing happened, so I pulled it right a little harder, then let go. After that, the car turned left and crossed a double yellow on a backroad. (and yes I know you can sue the volume knob) I’m not totally sure if it was trying to pull over or what it was doing. I wanted to see how it would handle the situation, but there were cars coming, so I took over and corrected it. One of the coolest moments was when I thought FSD was glitching because it came to a complete stop in the middle of a busy road. Then I looked around and realized why. On the right side, there was a bicyclist waiting at a yellow crosswalk. The cars behind me didn’t honk, and the Tesla stopping actually incentivized another car in the right lane to stop and let him pass. The car is almost too nice to pedestrians, because 99.999% of humans would’ve blown through that, especially with no flashing light. For 99.9% of the drive, the car navigated confidently and smoothly. It was a real “feel the AGI” moment. Please do not let the media, the general public, or anyone else convince you that this technology is just some kind of auto assist or glorified cruise control. This is undoubtedly getting extremely close to feeling superhuman. You still have to pay attention to the road, but after experiencing it myself, I’d be shocked if HW4 Teslas aren’t unsupervised within the next couple years. The car was extremely smooth. There was no harsh braking, and it even avoided something in the road that I didn’t see. Driving with FSD made me realize I probably wasn’t driving as well as I could be. Hopefully, eventually, everyone’s car can be as mindful as a Tesla. I’ve never seen a brand so far removed from the public’s sentiment. I’m so happy I ordered one.show more

I went to the Nova Exhibit and saw new... footage. I already knew it was religiously motivated, but I underestimated *how* religious it was. Guys, it’s so much worse than I thought. I was watching a ritual. Like the human sacrifice of some ancient tribe. Like Apocalypto. I thought human sacrifice religions were gone and in the past, but no. That’s exactly what Hamas is. Before they invaded, they hyped themselves up by chanting “There is no god but Allah, and Mohammed is his prophet” OVER AND OVER. It wasn’t just a few “Allahu Akbar’s”. It was incessant prayers and chanting the entire time. It was non-stop, like this was a holy day and they were at church.. They would scream “In the name of Allah” right before bombing a car. Don’t look away. You need to understand what is happening and what we are dealing with here. “In the name of Allah, we conquer.” Watch:show more

🚨 Lamine Yamal statement. “𝐈 𝐚𝐦 𝐌𝐮𝐬𝐥𝐢𝐦, 𝐚𝐥𝐡𝐚𝐦𝐝𝐮𝐥𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐚𝐡. Yesterday... in the stadium, the chant “the one who doesn’t boo is Muslim” was heard. I know it was aimed at the rival team and it wasn’t something against me — but as a Muslim, it doesn’t stop being a lack of respect and something intolerable”. “I understand that not all the fans are like that… but to those who sing these things: using a religion as a joke in a stadium makes you look like ignorant and racist people”. “Football is for enjoying it and cheering, not for disrespecting people for who they are or what they believe in”. “That said, thanks to the people who came to cheer us on, see you at the World Cup”.show more

Back at my mom’s house I was sitting in... the living room playing video games in my my underwear, I was around 12 years old and ever body was working until about 5pm so I still had a few hours before anybody was there. I usually kept the doors locked but the front door wasn’t locked, I just didn’t know that yet. I walked into the kitchen to grab a snack and a drink. I didn’t know that a family of three people just walked into the house. I came back holding a bag of chips and a drink and I saw two people standing there and another one just sitting on the couch like they were supposed to be there. My 12 year old brain couldn’t comprehend what was happening and I ran out of the house and to the neighbors house. I finally calmed down and told her what was happening, she grabbed her husband and went over there, I’m surprised they didn’t call the police first. The people in the house told the neighbor that they were friends of my dad and they were visiting from Pittsburgh. My neighbor called my dad at the restaurant and confirmed he knew them. He ended up leaving the restaurant and coming back early. His friends confused what days he was off from work and decided to come by and visit unannounced. He also told them it wasn’t a good idea to just walk in and that even though they were friends they should always knock on the door. I had never met these people before so I thought it was some kind of home invasion, it scared me. But from that point on I always made sure the doors were locked and that I was dressed decently just in case of unexpected visitors.show more

All these kids just lost their parents after an... Israeli air strike on their house. They are originally from Gaza city, and they evacuated to the middle area to be safe, but last night at 2 am the house they were in was targeted. The boy in the last video was injured after an air strike on the school him and his family were sheltering in. He is in pain and he is asking for a bed. He doesn’t want to be on the floor. He just wants to sleep. The hospital is extremely overwhelmed.show more

Scarlett Johansson says she was too sexualized early in... her career “I felt like my career was over. It was like, ‘That’s the kind of career you have, these are the roles you’ve played.’ “And I was like, ‘This is it?’ “I think women were just pulled apart for how they looked in a way that was socially acceptable at the time and it was tough.”show more

The man-carved Longyou Caves in China add further support... to the Geophysical Event theory and the existence of ancient breakaway civilizations preparing for survival. They were rediscovered in 1992 after villagers pumped water out of ponds they believed were bottomless. Instead of natural caverns, they found enormous hand-carved chambers. Each chamber is estimated to contain tens of thousands of cubic meters of excavated rock, with the total excavated volume estimated at around one million cubic meters. The walls, ceilings, and pillars are covered with remarkably consistent parallel chisel marks. Nobody knows who built them or exactly how old they are. The mainstream believes they are around 2,000 years old, built during or before the Han dynasty, although no definitive inscription identifies their builders. I think they are at least 5,000 years old and were used as survival shelters by an ancient breakaway civilization. That's why no one knew about them, not even the ancient historical records mention them. The Han dynasty also preserved stories about a great flood, perhaps the builders of these caves were not so lucky as they ended up under water...show more

This is a called Serpents Lair of Inis Mór,... located in the Ireland, UK. We were told this granite has naturally been formed hundreds of thousands of years ago, which is hard to believe that a nature would cut out a PERFECT rectangle out of a granite stone. Judging by the look of this, I can tell that the ancient builders have created this rectangle hole which works like a sink, so that when the tide comes in from the sea, the water goes into this hole, and via underground tunnel and goes back into the ground. Not only did the ancient builders create everything with a purpose in mind, they also unquestioningly had electric power tools in order to do so.show more

Kelp 📍 Juneau, Alaska 🇺🇸 Explore Alaska: Long before... modern condiments were bottled, the freezing, nutrient dense waters off the Alaskan coast provided a vital lifeline for indigenous communities. Harvesting wild bull kelp is an ancient culinary tradition deeply rooted in the survival of coastal peoples. For thousands of years, this massive ocean plant was meticulously gathered, cured, and preserved to help communities endure the harsh, unforgiving northern winters. Historically, the thick and crunchy fronds were never just a simple snack. They were heavily traded across regions and specifically used to catch highly prized herring roe, creating one of the oldest and most important local delicacies. Today, that deep, historical connection to the ocean remains unbroken. By transforming these same wild kelp forests into rich seasonings and intensely savory chili crisps, modern producers are keeping an ancient food source alive. The practice directly honors the old ways by relying entirely on the cold, wild abundance of the sea rather than the land. Credits: barnaclefoodsshow more

I once read in Tarikh al Tabari that after... the conquest of Iran, rivers of Iranian blood were made to run. Back then, I dismissed it as an historical exaggeration. A river of blood sounded too vast for reality. Too cruel for the world. Too impossible for human hands. Then January came. ​And I witnessed with my own eyes the raw torrent of blood the terrorist Islamic Regime occupying Iran drained from the veins of this land’s own children. ​These were not invaders breaking through a foreign border. These were not strangers from a forgotten age. The sons of this soil. The daughters of this nation. The young, the brave, the nameless, the immortal. History was not exaggerating. It was warning us. And the warning returned wearing a turban, carrying a gun, and calling itself a republic.show more

Six thousand years ago, severe climate change, geomagnetic excursion,... desertification of the Sahara, and civilizational collapse occurred, marking a reset and the start of the Sumerian, Ancient Egyptian, and Indus Valley civilizations, the start of the Jewish calendar, and the Hindu Kali Yuga. All of these changes were caused by the changes in axial precession and the orientation of the Earth towards the Sun. In my opinion, we are close to such changes again, and these changes are recorded and prophesied in ancient religions! This is why the elites are building doomsday bunkers and rockets that could take off from Earth for a couple of months and then land safely after the tipping point! A rabbit hole that can change your perspective on our true nature and reality forever, so don't read it if you are easily scared! (1/10)🧵show more

I mean you do have a very good point,... however I hope you can understand where I come from. (Sorry I’m advance for the long tweet back) This is exactly what I use to do when I was their age. We didn’t have the luxury of an independent scene we do now and even if we did I was 14 years old, I was only allowed to go to a training school to learn the basics. But I had an enormous passion for the business & if I wasn’t allowed to work shows I’d do it myself. - and I’d argue that because of this I had a head start on a lot of the people I trained with when I finally turned 18 From there I’ve been lucky enough to have the support of friends, peers & fans to push me into what I am today. The fact I’ve still had that same style for now 17 years and this is my first surgery, I think I’ve looked after my body. Think about it 17 years this is my first major injury. You think this is stupid, I would say it’s equally as stupid as to fall off a scaffolding breaking both your legs. And while I’m sure there’s a few people that wished you landed on your head, I for one hope you’re doing well & not in too much pain from your injury. But to me, it showed the care that you have for the industry at that time. I see myself in these guys that are finding any outlet to do what they love. Their bumps are solid & basing is great. Like I said I understand there is a level of danger doing this so I hope none of them get hurt but I can’t help but root for these guys and hope I one day see them in a ring. Once again sorry for the long arse tweet and hope the message finds you well boss.show more

I asked Leslie Iwerks about her favorite scene in... 'Disneyland Handcrafted,' and she pointed to a moment showing workers pulling the Mark Twain that captures both the difficulty of building Disneyland and Walt's determination to make it happen. "My favorite scene is the guys pulling the Mark Twain. Who knows exactly what the issue was, but they were all trying to pull it, and it's a little symbolic scene of just how hard it was and how hard they worked and their teamwork. Also the fact that they were up against all odds. Everyone doubted this could happen, but they were all saying it was an exciting time because Walt willed it to happen. He told everybody it could happen and that they had never done this before, but they could do it. And so it all gave them confidence that they could pull it off, and they all mobilized under Walt's singular vision to get it done. And I think that scene to me is emotional to me because I just feel like it symbolizes the teamwork."show more

I’ve been trying to avoid the drama, but this... Joe Kent and Tyler Robinson stuff, is crazy. It confirms that myself, and a handful of others, were right about the whole Israel obsession and nonsense Charlie Kirk theories. Shame on you scumbags who smeared my good name because I CORRECTLY called out this nonsense for what it was. I was one of the few courageous enough to call out all the grifters and turncoats, and I became a public punching bag for it, and probably cost myself a lot of money. Good. It was well worth it. In conclusion, fuck all of you imbeciles who fell for this woke-Right nonsense. I was right. You were wrong. You were more than wrong. You were participants in a psyop to fracture Trump’s support and run cover for Left-wing terrorist organizations, and I was trying to save you and the gullible followers you deceived… Now get the hell out of the way. We have a nation and a world to save.show more

The Mahakumbh holds a special place in my heart.... In 1977, as a student filmmaker, I went to the Mahakumbh that year for shooting footage for my thesis film, which I named ‘YATRA’ I was amazed to see, even then, how the administration managed such an incredible logistical challenge. Today, the numbers expected to attend boggles the mind. It is undoubtedly the world’s largest gathering. I salute all those unsung heroes who work tirelessly to conduct the festival peacefully and efficiently. It is truly one of the wonders of both the ancient & modern worlds. 🙏🏽show more

I was at a beach club in Bali with... a few friends. We were drinking, hanging out, and eventually they decided to head home. I wasn’t ready to leave, so I stayed. I ended up talking to a group of Australian girls. We were all getting along, and after a while they asked if I’d buy everyone a round of shots. I did. One round turned into several. By the end of it I’d had around 6-7 shots and was definitely drunk. Then one of the girls asked for my Instagram. She took my phone to add herself. It was already unlocked, so I handed it over without thinking twice. That was the biggest mistake of the night.show more

I was informed that the team will be seeking... a trade immediately and will be working with me and my family to find the right place to continue competing for championships. I don’t agree with the decision and always believed it was going to begin and end in LA. Still, if there’s one thing that I have learned over the years: there are so many things that are out of your control, but it is how you respond to these things that you will look back on and remember. I have taken so much pride in playing alongside my teammates for the LA community, so thank you for embracing my family and making this such a special place for us. 2024 began with one of the best training camps of my career. Preparations start now for 2025. Highly motivated, as healthy as ever, and looking forward to playing elite football for years to come. Love you guys.. But coming for it all.show more
