Just finished Blink today at lunch, what a fascinating subject. While some, without reading the book, might say it is all just psychological babble that could not be further from the truth. Tons of facts and evidence but an amazingly easy read. I am not an engineer but I believe an engineer who gives this subject a chance will realize there is something to it and not just psycho babbling.What it looks like when you are entering here....

"The Bomber Mafia" by the same author is also very interesting.Just finished Blink today at lunch, what a fascinating subject.

Thanks again for the reccomendation. Great stuff!!
Ok, will keep that in mind. Interested in Gladwell's other book " Tipping Point "."The Bomber Mafia" by the same author is also very interesting.
YupInterested in Gladwell's other book " Tipping Point ".
Did you mention in another thread that you were an engineer? A new forum member, IIRC, said that they were an engineer and someone responded that they were also."The Bomber Mafia" by the same author is also very interesting.
I missed this reccomendation when it was originally posted. I have read a crapload about these subjects. Graham Hancock, Robert Bauval, John Anthony West, Robert Schoch. Really, really grabs me. I will have to read this one too! Lol I will post this and call the library right now. Looks like Tipping Point will have to wait. Thanks for posting this!View attachment 19812
The Great Pyramid Void Enigma - Scott Creighton. P/B.
Since I have a strong interest in Ancient Archaeology - this is a very intriguing book. Well written with easy prose style. The background to the narrative is the discovery in 2017 of a great big void within the Great pyramid at Giza. This was done by the Scan/Pyramid Project by 3 separate groups who came up with the same astonishing results; namely that there is a dirty great big space which should not really be there. It is of the same dimensions of the great gallery beneath it.
The burning questions are - Why is it there and what is it for ?.
Scott Creighton rightly analyses the historical evidence to find clues. The first being that the Coptic Egyptians who believe themselves to be the direct and true descendants of the Ancient Egyptians andhave always claimed that the Great Pyramid was not built by Khufu as a burial place but was built as a recovery vault.
Apparently the ancient astronomer priests used the stars to predict a flood in the future and it was decided to build a stone mountain to survive rtsing water levels. Within the pyramid were to be placed the tools and equipment - records and most importantly, the ancestral mummies of Khufu;s predecessors who would spiritually aid the rebirth of the Egyptian civilization.
Secondly, there is the intriguing puzzle of why no mummies or tombs of Khufu's parent and ancestors have ever been found- mostly, there mummies have disappeared.
Thirdly; the fact that the Great Pyramid being a burial place for Khufu is destroyed by the evidence being forged by it's main proponent; The Archaelogist - Howard Vyse , who in the 1830's had a great time blowing holes with gunpowder above the King's chamber and claimed that he had found two of Khufu's cartouches in the relieving chambers above the King's Chamber; the only problem here being that they have the writing style effect of the Middle Kingdom and not of the Old kingdom.
Fourthly; the orientation of the so called Queens pyramids and the general layout of all the structures on the Giza plateau seem to reflect star positions and dating methodology which backs up that the structures are much older and provide a viable date for a sea level rise cataclysm and a possible future one. ( Do not worry - the next one is due to happen in about 4000 years )....
Why is this exciting - Well ; I notice that a so called prominent Egyptologist who has been a thorn in the side of the truth about the real age of the Spinx and purpose of the Pyramids, and who built them, has only last year stated that there are exciting treasures still to be found and numerous gaps in the Great Pyramid. The same guy who previously said that everything has been found. he small gantenbrink robotic device which went up one of the shafts from the Queens chamber found a small blocking stone slap with a corroded ccopper handle- these are just air shafts according to him.
Scott Creighton makes a good case for the Void being a secret chamber never to be disturbed for ancestral mummies and more intriguingly - a recovery vault with what.........? there has been for a long time; speculation about the lost Hall of Records somewhere on the Giza plateau....there have been legends of it being under the Sphinx and core drilling has been done on a limited scale with empty results. Lots of underground formations have also been found under the Giza plateau and most are water logged and blocked off by the so called prominent Egyptologist.
Maybe ; just maybe - The lost Hall of Records is as legends say on the Giza plateau but deviously designed into the Great Pyramid's structure to only be found by those who have the secret knowledge. They did not envision today,s scanning techniques. It even looks like all the known chambers in the Great Pyramid were designed to fool tomb robbers into believing there was nothing else there........Devious beyond belief, unless of course you are hiding something very significant and important.
The void could be the discovery of all time........so you have to wonder why no core drilling has been done and a small camera inserted to see inside........it has been 4 years and counting.
A fascinating and thought provoking read - my only gripe is that the Howard Vyse fraud evidence is too extensive.
Engineer by education and profession, but never licensed.Did you mention in another thread that you were an engineer? A new forum member, IIRC, said that they were an engineer and someone responded that they were also.

Upthread when Blink was brought up IIRC Tuomo made a comment about it and he was very sceptical. For some reason I thought he was an engineer and was going to tell him just to read the first chapter. That's what the engineer reference was about. I think most people who play ASL would want to continue reading it. Fascinating subject.Engineer by education and profession, but never licensed.
Couldn't find a post by Tuomo about Blink. Too many Dark and Stormy nights I suppose.Upthread when Blink was brought up IIRC Tuomo made a comment about it and he was very sceptical.

While trying to find his post I ran across the reccomendation for The Great Pyramid Void Enigma and that was it. If you want to attract my attention the words The Great Pyramid will work every time. I have been reading along those lines and military history since elementary school.
Anyway Brigadier Bacardi stopped in for the evening and Civilization is on the PC so finding Tuomo 's post will have to wait. Gladwell's other stuff too. As much as I love military history I am way more into the Grat Pyramid and similar ancient mysteries.
I had concentrated on military history through the late 70's till '95 when I saw Fingerprints of the Gods at the library. When I started reading it the passion was rekindled.
He did participate in the initial discussion about BlinkCouldn't find a post by Tuomo about Blink. Too many Dark and Stormy nights I suppose.
Sorry Tuomo.
Thanks! I thought he had but after a cursory search came up empty I thought I was just delusional. I should learn to trust that first impression more.He did participate in the initial discussion about Blink
My copy arrived today. Looking forward to some good reading. Thanks again for the reccomendation.View attachment 19812

I was describing Blink to my boss today and he ordered it right then. He is going to give it to me when he finishes it. Nice guy, best boss I ever had.He did participate in the initial discussion about Blink
Colonel Cuervo wanted to listen to 2 half squads. I played the episode and went further back in the interview with Bendizoid than I had in quite a while.Just finished Blink today at lunch, what a fascinating subject.
