@GrnMntnBldr @teo_naudomoi @ArchaicLens Bubbles, bubbles, hehe! 😉

@teo_naudomoi @ArchaicLens @FoMaHun @FoMaHun came to say the same. Looks a lot like doggo!

Buckle up folks this is a big one. I’m going to show you ancient artifacts from Easter Island that I guarantee you’ve never seen before, some of which which bear STRIKING resemblance to animal sculptures found at Gobekli Tepe. The backstory: When Thor Heyerdahl was excavating on Easter Island in 1955-1956 he was shown old family caves, passed down through generations, which contained countless original and ancient statues and sculptures. He was apparently gifted over a thousand of these statues by the Rapa Nui which he then brought back to Norway. They’ve been in the possession of the Kon Tiki museum in Oslo ever since, but none of them have ever been show to the public until 2014 for some reason I cannot fathom. I spent the day viewing the collection, and some of the sculptures were shockingly similar to Gobekli Tepe!! All the images below are originals from Easter Island. Tomorrow I’ll post a follow up thread comparing to Gobekli Tepe. 🧵 And of course if you like my work and want to support me consider purchasing a copy of my book on Amazon: a.co/d/0cIKCLHk

Chemistry lesson for every kind of archaeologist: real, pseudo, and armchair archaeologists. Part One Lye made from wood ash — basically water slowly filtered through and dripped off from wood ash — primarily contains potash (K₂CO₃). Every ancient civilization could produce this. We even have evidence: soap making. Quicklime (CaO) is produced by heating limestone (CaCO₃) in fire. Under heat, the CO₂ simply gets released and escapes into the atmosphere and burnt or quick lime is formed. Add some water and you’ll end up with slakec lime (Ca(OH)2) Ancient civilizations could produce this too, and we also have evidence they used it: lime-burning pits, leather tanning, and so on. If you mix these two, ion exchange gives you limestone (CaCO₃) molecules suspended in a potassium hydroxide (KOH) solution. K2CO3 + Ca(OH)2 = CaCO3 + 2KOH Yes, you should bookmark this, good idea! If you let it settle, you get a crude limestone paste. Not slaked lime, but actual limestone particles — the same kind that settles on the ocean floor together with dead shells. (Yes, limestone particles continuously settle on the seafloor, formed not from dead animals themselves, but from calcium ions and carbon dioxide from the air. This is what acts as the binding material that cements the shells together. The shells themselves, of course, are not sticky.) If you compress this goo, you get real limestone, with its strength depending on the amount of pressure applied. If you don’t apply pressure and simply let it dry, it will crumble back into powder. If you apply several tons of pressure, the result is a very hard stone. And our ancestors knew this too. It’s no coincidence they didn’t try molding it into bricks — strong bonding requires pressure. A 1–2 meter thick layer of this sludge already creates enough self-weight to harden the lower section. And once you place the next stone block on top, there’s no question that the necessary pressure will be there. Of course, one more thing is needed: a hole in the mold so that the water squeezed out of the paste can escape. And there you have it — nub is ready. The nubs are naturally located on the lower parts of the stones. If they aren’t there, then the stone was rotated into this position— like this limestone lintel here. Naxos Portara, Greece 🇬🇷

@TherealdavidIII To create waterglass? Certainly. It’s old news now.

@FoMaHun Was your mission successful

That’s Jabba in my pot. Watch it closely. What? You heard it right. I was just repeating my own stone softening recipe here (to produce waterglass from silica sand, kitchen temp), and suddenly Jabba was winking 😉 at me from the pot. Scarry 😱 Now I don’t know what to do, release him or execute him with my light saber? May 18th the Force be with me! For newcomers: I’m kidding. You can’t soften stones. But you can etch them chemically. And Jabba in the pot is real.

@IckickPatrick Yes I have a few square meters left to decorate 🤣

@FoMaHun You can plaster it into a Neolithic wall in your own garden. 😃

Doggie 🐶 is in his third year. Doggie lives on a hill as you’ll see at the end of this video. Doggie is from the very first artificial stone recipe of mine: waterglass, wood ash + gravel. Doggie will die sooner or later. Why? Because I didn’t know 💩 about sodium waterglass, efflorescence, different wood ash types etc. back then when I created him. Doggie is still surprisingly strong though. Having this ultra bad ingredient mix he should have died last year when he endured heavy snow plus -12 degrees Celsius freezing temperatures. But he’s still with us. But now you can clearly see the gravel I used in his body as he lost a layer of artificial stone because of natron efflorescence. If I were me, I would use potassium waterglass next time and definitely pine 🌲 wood ash to make him eternal. Anyway, years ticking, doggie is a metronome now, measuring the time window given to such a bad mix.

@RustySashwaite Brilliant!

Note the use of precision high tech tools near the end to create perfect shape and texture. => @FoMaHun

@Wendehorn117664 Well, yes, I have created a 20 minutes documentary BUT I offered exclusivity to a “secret” 3rd party for the first month, so I can’t publish it yet here.

@FoMaHun Very cool, Marcell! Any vids coming out yet?

@matcast10 @4gottnHistory Thank you for judging my very first sample made. I’m sure I will not be able to fine tune it with future versions. NO WAY! 🤣

@FoMaHun @4gottnHistory Your casting has clearly nothing in common with the NATURAL stones used in ancient egypt construction. Your sample even shows segregation, which is to be expected, but this is never found in ancient artifacts

If ancient people only had copper tools… then why do we find drill marks in granite that look machine made? 🤔 How is that possible?

@eltapoloco @TheProjectUnity 🙋‍♂️

@TheProjectUnity Where’s @FoMaHun 🤝

Now this one I could see being cast instead of cut.

@Cassiopeia2212 @slomnim @history_rev As I already said, it’s a plastered layer. Now you’re correct that a plastered layer doesn’t require 4 huge nubs in close proximity. So these are not water releasing nubs but functional protrusions. Coat hanger or whatever. That’s my guess.

@FoMaHun @slomnim @history_rev how do you explain nubs in the bedrock then? It is the only thing that I dont understand. Because I really think Natron theory is GREAT. Its revolutionary.

🧐 Is that nub overlapping two blocks, or is that cut/joint some kind of subsequent modification? Delos 🇬🇷

@MatoWykeham @d_foubert 🤣

@FoMaHun @d_foubert kurva

If you learn Polish 🇵🇱 you don’t only learn Polish. You also get easy understanding of: 🇨🇿 Czech 🇸🇰 Slovakian 🇺🇦 Ukrainian 🇸🇮 Slovenian 🇭🇷 Croatian 🇭🇺 Hungarian

@rutgerkipling @d_foubert Wow! 🤩

@FoMaHun @d_foubert On the other hand, if you learn Suomi ... you also learn despair and self-loathing.

@FanIslands @TrevorHawkeHRG @PiRambla @occamsrazor22 @MBeallX @DrZamilov My take: Trevor is a genius

@TrevorHawkeHRG @PiRambla @occamsrazor22 @MBeallX @DrZamilov Your thoughts on this @FoMaHun ?

Smoking gun. #Geopolymer technology.

@HannahBrites @BrightInsight6 Bright idea! 🤣

@FoMaHun Oh, you kidder, the newcomers aren’t gonna know that you were just joking and that you really can soften stones. Next time you melt stone in a pot make it in the shape of Jimmy’s face from @BrightInsight6 😄

@TrevorHawkeHRG @PiRambla @occamsrazor22 @Weird_Old_World It was a really great idea to try out UV light. How do you know?

Artificial stone is pretty cool!😎 #geopolymer #cusco #peru

@CairoEra8a4 Aha. Is this the source of more than 2 million blocks? No. Any questions?
