Very fascinating. Very fascinating indeed.

As far as the Antikythera mechanism goes, a calculator is a more accurate analogy than a computer. And yes, far more advanced than was thought possible ... a 100 yrars ago. Now there is far more evidence that Greek engineers in Rhodes built a number of sophisticated mechanical devices. Pieces and gears from such devices have been found unclassified in old museum collections because no one knew what they were when originally discovered. It's been shown that Greek understanding of geometry was adequate to create all the toothed gears in the antikythera device. Naked eye astronomy was amazingly accurate. The Mayans calculated the length of the Venusian orbit to within a reasonable approximation of its length to within a few hours. Pretty damn amazing considering how many years of observation that took. My point us thst ancient people were just as smart as modern humans, and once they had writing and math, their scholars and engineers could produce amazing things through patient observation and experiment. No ancient aliens or Atlanteans required.

I totally agree with you

I'm not saying it's not true, but my caution light is on.

Generally when one hears some ancient artifact is so advanced they shouldn't exist, ergo aliens, best to roll one's eyes and walk away. There's two huge problems with such claims. A. The items do exist. B. The aliens somehow managed to avoid leaving obvious and irrefutable evidence of their visitation: Periodic table of the elements, maps of the Solar System, galaxy, or the far side of the Moon, artifacts, etc. If the Antikithera Mechanism plotted the movement of Neptune for example, yeah, aliens. Alas, no. While both examples in the video are fascinating and show there is lost knowledge and history, the video does make a number of, well, unsupported claims to bolster its case. Neither artifact "shouldn't exist." They both exist and will continue to be studied to yield new insight into lost knowledge, no aliens required.

The Voynich Manuscript contains numerous corrections and overwritings in both its text and illustrations.

I did not watch the full vid, but I think they figured out who created the Voynich Manuscript.

Also I believe at that time they only knew about the 5 wanderers. The Sumerians however have produced art/stellas that show a heliocentric model with 9 planets and moons. Much older civilization, whom state the Adamu/Humans/Lulu were created by other beings.

Not to mention the civilizations who knew about the Great Year, or Plutonic year. You know the 26k year cycle our system travels through the ages of the zodiac calender.

I would love to see the Voynich Manuscript face2face so to speak! I love old writings.

@Etre I'm familiar with the nonsense you are espousing. No, they didn't, that's Von Daniken type woo. This is an archeology group.

@pixiedust Pretty sure high resolution scans are available online, agree, must be a wonderful thing to see in person. I go with tbe theory that it was created by someone sufferring from mental illness because of the insanely obsesive detail they went into. Just seems way too elaborate for a hoax. Hopefully someday someone will figure it out, assuming it can be figured out.

@Druvius Old documents and books have their own smell that doesn't scan well 🙂

@Druvius

First of all I am not espousing, I made a post with a question mark to see what peoples thoughts were. I truly only watched a few minutes and I did not pay attention to the title. And yes there is a documentary of the creators of the Voynichs manuscript and how they figured out who created it. I remember they were foreign and one was a doctor I believe. been a few years.

And I am not a fan of Von Daniken the profiteer.

thanks...
