MEET THE ANCIENT STONEWORK WE STILL CAN’T RECREATE Machu Picchu’s polygonal masonry isn’t just pretty, it’s earthquake-proof. Giant stones are cut so perfectly you can’t slip a credit card between them, with special “fuse stones” that break under pressure to save the wall. The blocks? Diorite, one of the...

The Rolling Stones performing “The Last Time” on the Ed Sullivan Show. “The Last Time” was inspired by a 1955 gospel song called “This May Be The Last Time” by The Staple Singers. The Stones changed the song’s meaning, making it into a stern message to a girl. The Staples version had a more uplifting message and was much more spiritual. This decision angered many gospel fans who felt The Stones ripped it off since The Staple Singers never got any royalties from it. Since it is a traditional song (meaning no one owns the rights to it), many artists have recorded it, but The Stones was a very high-profile band that had success reworking songs by black artists into hits. Many people believe The Stones should have compensated The Staple Singers because it was based on their version of the song. In the 2003 book According to the Rolling Stones, Keith Richards wrote: “We didn’t find it difficult to write pop songs, but it was VERY difficult - and I think Mick will agree - to write one for the Stones. It seemed to us it took months and months and in the end we came up with The Last Time, which was basically re-adapting a traditional gospel song that the Staple Singers had sung, but luckily the song itself goes back into the mists of time. I think I was trying to learn it on the guitar just to get the chords, sitting there playing along with the record, no gigs, nothing else to do. At least we put our own stamp on it, as the Staple Singers had done, and as many other people have before and since: they’re still singing it in churches today. It gave us something to build on to create the first song that we felt we could decently present to the band to play... The Last Time was kind of a bridge into thinking about writing for the Stones. It gave us a level of confidence; a pathway of how to do it. And once we had done that we were in the game. There was no mercy, because then we had to come up with the next one. We had entered a race without even knowing it.”

😳 They Moved a 300-Ton Stone Without Machines… and It’s Still Standing After 3,500 Years Deep in the heart of ancient Egypt stands a place so enormous and mysterious that even modern visitors struggle to believe it was built thousands of years ago. This is the legendary Karnak Temple — one of the largest religious temple complexes ever created on Earth. For over 2,000 years, generation after generation of pharaohs kept expanding Karnak, filling it with gigantic columns, sacred lakes, hidden chambers, towering statues, and massive stone monuments dedicated to the gods. Walking through it today feels less like visiting ruins… and more like entering another world frozen in time. But among all its wonders, one monument leaves people completely speechless. Hidden inside the temple stands the incredible Obelisk of Pharaoh Thutmose I — a giant stone carved more than 3,500 years ago that still seems almost impossible. Cut from a SINGLE piece of red granite, this enormous obelisk rises nearly 72 feet into the sky and weighs more than 300 tons. No steel cranes. No trucks. No modern machines. Just ancient human hands. And that is where the mystery begins. How did workers carve such a perfect monument from solid stone? How did they transport something this massive across long distances in the brutal Egyptian heat? And even more unbelievable… how did they raise it perfectly upright with astonishing precision? Even today, experts still debate the exact methods used. Imagine standing in Karnak thousands of years ago as the sunlight struck the polished granite, making the obelisk glow like fire during sacred ceremonies. To the ancient Egyptians, obelisks were not just decorations. They were symbols of divine power — giant stone connections between the heavens and Earth itself. The surface is still covered with ancient inscriptions whispering stories from a civilization long gone. Empires have risen and collapsed. Wars have destroyed kingdoms. Entire civilizations disappeared into dust. Yet this giant stone still stands. That is what makes Karnak so hauntingly fascinating. These ruins are not simply old stones abandoned in the desert. They are proof that ancient civilizations possessed knowledge, engineering, and determination far beyond what many people imagine. And standing beneath this towering obelisk today, one question still echoes through the minds of visitors from around the world: What else did the ancient Egyptians know… that we have forgotten? 👁️

The question Ashton Forbes is working through is one that connects modern physics to one of the oldest unsolved problems in archaeology - how did ancient civilizations move stones of extraordinary mass with no evidence of the mechanical infrastructure that would make it possible today. The proposition he is exploring is that sound may be the answer. If physical reality is fundamentally wave-based, then sound - itself a wave phenomenon - could theoretically produce effects that resemble gravitational influence under the right conditions of frequency and resonance. The observation that stays with Randall is a simple and domestic one. An electric shaver set down on a countertop while still running began to move on its own - vibration translating directly into physical displacement across a flat surface. He noted it at the time and filed it away. Could vibrations move objects? Under the right circumstances, the answer appeared to be yes. Randall connects that observation to his broader research into resonance physics and ancient construction - arguing that a civilization without modern material manufacturing could still have identified and applied the principles of acoustic resonance to achieve effects that brute force and conventional tooling cannot replicate. The technology would have left no physical trace. Only the results would remain - and those results, Randall suggests, are exactly what we are still staring at in disbelief at sites around the world.

We need builders in the identity space and we need to work together! Billions co-founder and CEO Evin McMullen evin on: Worldcoin and Billions Network I think of projects like Worldcoin as colleagues. I've actually had the privilege to speak with them and meet with them. I even went into their offices to see how the Orb is made and then have given a ton of feedback on papers and documentation before it goes out. Because none of us in the identity space are really competing with each other. Right now we are all competing with obscurity. It is essential that we as builders and as developers in the identity space work together, that we provide rigorous, honest respectful feedback to one another so that we can all improve because we all are working in the same service industry in service of human beings. I think of Worldcoin like a proprietary camera company: They make a special kind of camera that takes a particular kind of picture and produces a specific type of data. But unlike their approach, with Billions Network we have a very flexible approach to identity. Which means that you don't have to start with a special camera to get on board and to start using Billions Network. We've actually integrated with 100+ different government systems. We've integrated with many different providers of trust and data. So our flexible framework allows for there to be these many different sources and proven authorities of trust, as opposed to just ONE. See our identity framework in action in the tomorrow’s builders webinar: 🔑 "Login with Billions" Live demo: 🤝 Human-verified DID login ✅ Privacy-first vs Google/Apple login ✅ No passwords, no central ID ✅ No personal data (PII) stored on your backend Register now: Please select the session that works best for you if you can’t make it tomorrow.

“We’ve never been alone.” Scientist Trevor Hawke is researching 10,000 ancient artifacts that reveal evidence of: Ancient UFO contact. Human-alien hybridization. Humanity’s extraterrestrial origins. And they may explain the truth of how the pyramids were built. “I think it’s highly likely that the genesis of our species comes from this interaction with these extraterrestrial civilizations.” “It is plain as day on these artifacts.” “You see the hybrids.” “You see interdimensional stuff, cosmic history.” The real breakthrough in his team’s research came from Darryl Anka, who allegedly channels an extraterrestrial being named Bashar. How? “Bashar” told them to look at the artifacts under UV light. And the results shocked them. Hawke: “These artifacts are made of an artificial stone, not natural stone.” “They’re not carved rocks.” “The reason I say this is because of the UV light.” “These artifacts have been carbon dated … using parts of adhesive or glue that’s found on them.” “Many different researchers have done this in Europe, in the US.” “And they generally date to 8,000 to 9,000 years old.” “That’s the adhesive component.” “Ans the idea is that you can’t date stone because there’s no living carbon in the stone.” “Because the stones are engineered, they’re chemically manufactured, there is organic carbon in the stones.” “There’s a scientist by the name of Joseph Davidovits.” “He’s developed the body of science of geopolymer science.” “What led him into this research is he had access to core drill samples of the Giza Pyramid stones.” “In the core drill samples, he found hair and air bubbles within the stones.” “He thought, how is that possible in limestone or sedimentary rock?” “There’s a lot of evidence to show that they are a cast stone.” “The way that the angles and everything connects.” “It’s very bulbous.” “No need to lift 800 tons.” “In the sense of carving, it’s an impossible task.” “In the sense of casting, it’s inherent to the process.” Trevor Hawke Acid For Squares
