@BremerDiet61982 There is no evidence of a sudden change in the Earth's axis. There is no evidence of wagons before 3500 BCE. "The Big Dipper" is a modern name for the Great Bear, which likely goes back to an Indo-European original. (But: Sanskrit texts call it the Seven Sages.)

Die Babylonier haben kein Sternbild „Großer Wagen“ benannt. Diese Benennung erfolgte nach dem Kippen der Erdachse im deutschsprachigen Raum. Sie, Jason Colavito, haben gut zusammengestellt, welche Vorstellung es zur Flut und zum Ende der Welt gibt. Für der Datierung gibt es meine Ansicht nach nur eine Lösung: das weltweit im Kontext zur Flut berichtete, Kippen der Erdachse. Da der Große Wagen HEUTE um den Himmelsnordpol zieht, muss er seinen Namen NACH dem Kippen der Erdachse erhalten haben. Die Bedingungen für die Namensgebung waren nur zu dem Zeitpunkt gegeben, als der Wagen mit einem rechteckigen Design und nahezu gleichlangen und parallelen Achsen zu erkennen war. Das war wegen dem schnell wandernden, NICHT zum Sternbild Großer Wagen gehörenden Stern Alhaud V nur vor etwa 50000 Jahren der Fall. Davor und danach störte dieser Stern das Bild des Wagens, so das diese Benennung nicht so erfolgen konnte. Fazit: Das Kippen der Erdachse gemäß den vielen weltweiten Überlieferungen zur Sintflut war vor mindestens 50000 Jahren. Die Sintflut ist damit eben solange her. Die Große Pyramide in Gizeh muss also zu dieser Zeit gebaut worden sein, WENN sie vor und wegen der Flut errichtet wurde.#Flood #GreatPyramid

The "paper" is a three-page summary of Graham Hancock's "Message of the Sphinx." It went viral in January for no discernible reason. academia.edu/152149419/The_…

@BremerDiet61982 The story is self-evidently untrue since the constellations were not named until the Babylonians, and 50,000-year-old writing would not be readable to any medieval traveler.

@JasonColavito If the 2x36,000 solar years from the pyramid chapter of Hitat are wrong because one followed a wrong definition of the big year with 36,000 years, then the two world years according to today’s definition run exactly on the approximately 50,000 years that I propagate.#Flood

When I was in college, I studied with some of the archaeologists who worked on the site and took me through the evidence for the older date. It's difficult to imagine that all that work was wrong, so the serious criticisms of this new study seem valid. livescience.com/archaeology/am…

@memizon I was 22 when I wrote it, and it was published when I was 24. No one knows everything at 22. I have explained many times that the publisher printed my first draft with almost no editorial revision, and in the decades since they have refused every request for a new edition.

@JasonColavito I am interested in your - somewhat onesided - work. But this, your first book, wasn’t good. Not because of your theory, but because you weren’t well versed in the subject matter. I remember serious criticism on your proposed lineage that it was more sensational than accurate.

If that paper is provocative, it is only because it’s a close copy of my book “The Cult of Alien Gods.” I did that work first, and what I got from it was 20 years of hate mail and dozens of copycats who claimed my research as their own.

@Provehimur Evidence is always supposed to take priority.

@JasonColavito Just browsing your 2005 book - looks well researched. It's really unfortunate there are so many copycats who fail to cite or give credit. On another note: Would you be open to revisiting the Tucson Artifacts if new evidence emerges showing they are real and not a hoax?

I made an original contribution to scholarship in "The Cult of Alien Gods" that was strongly resisted at the time but is now considered so self-evidently true that this guy copied my entire thesis, failed to cite me, and claims I'm arrogant for pointing out I did it first.

@Hillbillyflyer "Always"? This possible hoax was nearly 100 years ago.

@JasonColavito Archeologists insist they are serious investigators of history following the scientific method, but also insist they are always pulling off epic hoaxes that fool not only the public, but other archeologists as well. These are not serious people doing serious work.

There is no evidence that this artifact was part of any Roman expedition to America. While some think it may have washed ashore from Europe and passed through trade networks, more likely it was planted as a hoax during excavations in Mexico.

@AlphaTheUltimat "Possible" is different than "probable" or "proven." It is possible in the sense that it is not forbidden by the laws of physics, but Roman ships were not generally the kind of seafaring vessels capable of a transatlantic voyage, for instance.

@JasonColavito Ok u all know better than me, im not an expert, but i love ancient rome, yet for me that question is open and i just wonder is it possible for them to go in some other lands like America in that case

@AlphaTheUltimat It's believed to be a hoax because archaeologist Paul Schmidt reported it to be a hoax based on conversations with the archaeologist who supposedly perpetrated the hoax.

@JasonColavito Aaa yea, a hoax, everything that doesn't fit in our so called " history" is hoax and why, where is the problem, a? What if they go all around the world, a why not i dont see a problem in that, especially that they exist for many centurys, soo

@BremerDiet61982 You can read about the history and differences of the astrological calculations here: jasoncolavito.com/blog/astrologi…

@BremerDiet61982 Incidentally, we possess three different copies of those astrological figures associated with Surid's dream, and the copies in the Akhbar al-zaman (c. 1000), Murtada ibn al-'Afif (c. 1200) and al-Maqrizi (c. 1420) all give different astrological values.

@Graculus01 It might just be a tabloid picking up on some random trash a Graham Hancock super-fan posted on Academia, mistaking it for science.

@JasonColavito I honestly don't understand that one. Is it a Sokal? A test-run for further information pollution?

@pittipedia In my own book, I acknowledge that Robert M. Price made a similar observation 20 years before me, though he wrongly concluded that there was no connection.

@pittipedia Scholars give credit to those who worked on the same material before them. I outlined the thesis in a 2004 Skeptic article and then a 2005 book, both of which are widely cited as the first iteration of the claim. Yes, later writers are derivative of my now standard work.

@Graculus01 Yes.

@JasonColavito Is that the paper from a guy that may or may not exist?

@JohnValdez8898 Lots of Victorians had the idea of locating the antediluvian civilization in the Ice Age. No surprise.

@JasonColavito Augustus Le Plongeon wrote in his books that Queen Moo (Isis) created the Sphinx for her deceased husband, Coh Khan (Osiris). This event is believed to have occurred around 10,800 years ago.

@BremerDiet61982 Sigh. Those astrological figures were taken from Abu Ma'shar al-Balkhi's Book of Thousands, which does not contain the pyramid legend (he reported the version with Hermes and the Temple of Akhmim), and Abu Ma'shar's calculations are demonstrably wrong.

To the calculations for the tilting of the Earth’s axis in traditions on the flood and the change of the stars in the constellation „Great Wagon“, Grok has provided me with another proof for the 50,000 years for today: the entry into the constellation of Regulus described in Hitat.

@BremerDiet61982 Not important. Just the result of astrology based on incorrect assumptions about axial precession and other errors. This claim is mentioned only in passing in al-Maqrizi.

Based on my research, I’m more likely to arrive at 50000 years. An Italian recently came to up to 36000 years. In the pyramid chapter of Hitat, 2 x 36000 SUN years are important, because Apollodor used to calculate 8 years for a year of sunshine. Time for a FACTUAL discussion. x.com/bremerdiet6198…
