The vonyich is one of the things I want answers to the most. Possible it was just some fantasy novel type shit, but it's intriguing anyways.




The vonyich manuscipt is a legitimate artifact. The vonyich manuscipt has been confirmed to be dated from the 1400s I believe, and has yet to be deciphered....so I'm not sure I understand the fantasy novel comment

Another indecipherable object is The Phaistos Disc

Yves Duhoux (1977) dates the disc to between 1850 B.C. and 1600 B.C. (MMIII) on the basis of Luigi Pernier's report, which says that the Disc was in a Middle Minoan undisturbed context. Jeppesen (1963) dates it to after 1400 (LMII-III). Doubting the viability of Pernier's report, Louis Godart (1990) resigns himself to admitting that archaeologically, the disc may be dated to anywhere in Middle or Late Minoan times (MMI-LMIII, a period spanning most of the second millennium B.C.). J. Best suggests a date in the first half of the fourteenth century B.C. (LMIIIA) based on his dating of tablet PH 1.-Wikipedia

I'm very interested in anagrams and cryptography, so these objects have fascinated me, these unbreakable codes.

Gobekli tepe also was not a living center, a town or a city, it was a temple built in the middle of nowhere essentially, a gathering point for several cultures, as the stone animal reliefs depict animals not native to the region, perhaps it does symbolize the point when Neolithic  transitioned to agriculture, but at the same time the accepted theories say these people were not in possession of the tools necessary to build a gobekli tepe at that time, so something must be altered.

Thanks for explaining it all pris. Some op's expect others to do the research, can't be bothered to make a one paragraph explanation of what they are talking about.

“A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the voters discover that they can vote themselves largesse from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates promising the most benefits from the public treasury with the result that a democracy always collapses over loose fiscal policy, always followed by a dictatorship.” (attributed to Alexis de Tocqueville political philosopher Circa 1835)

The roman dodechahedron is the most interesting, not because I think its got any association with aliens or any of the conspiracy type theories, but because its interesting to speculate what it was used for.
Candle holder theory doesn't make much sense based on its shape.

all these things have reasonable and likely explanations. Lol the gold airplanes - obviously they are birds. The fact this guy included those doesn't inspire much faith that he knows what has and hasn't been explained.

just looking at it you can tell it is some kind of stalagmite type rock.

These ancient aliens type shows are pretty amusing I recall one where a crappy wooden toy bird was being described as 'proof the Egyptians had the power of flight' which in turn somehow proved ancient aliens gave them that knowledge
:facepalm:
I wonder what % of viewers actually take these kinds of things at face value and believe them...

As in, it's possible it was just someone who was really bored making stuff up for the sake of making it up. It's filled with pictures of plants that don't exist. It could've just been a total work of fiction made purely for entertainment. I'd love to know what it says though.

I quite liked mckenna's theory about the voyonich manuscript, that it was made specifically to capitalize on a craze for the occult and alchemy. I suspect that might be true or partly true

why doesnt it make sense? not everything back them was purely function, there were
a lot of aesthetics associated with functional objects as well. given that some of
the photos I've seen have some of the sides blocked off it suggests that the
blocked side was meant to face a wall while it reflected light into a room

Im the type to easily fall for bullcrap shows that show crazy notions being the only possible explination.I imagine there were 50 foot giants who walked around moving masive objects. and aliens rode dinosaurs, And the comets that started the ice age was actually sent by aliens, from a giant space cannon they held on the moon. And they planted a bunch of crops and wildlife. And theyre are totally invisble gnomes that run around.
