Flooded Temples
@RobertMeasures
Unabashedly entertaining ideas of High Technology in the past at Ancient Temples around the world.












According to the legendary Shinto myth of "Amaterasu and the Cave," the Imperial Regalia was used to coax the plasma goddess out of the darkness. Was this an allegory for attracting lightning?.... I think so. Watch to see how the Shinto may have invented their own version of a Van Der Graaf Generator to leverage the power of static electricity to attract lightning. youtu.be/ceD6LWq15Zg?si… via @YouTube









What do you think happened to these steps inside Hathor Temple?







Are you ready for today’s bombshell? I can finally reveal that two weeks ago my colleague and I were in Dendera, Egypt on a “secret mission”—that’s the Egyptian temple with the highest number of mysteries per square meter on Earth. This is where you’ll find the famous “light bulb,” the hidden passageways inside the walls, and the melted staircase. Well, I don’t know about you, but I decided we’re going to crack this mystery. With an actual solution. No—this wasn’t the goal of the “secret mission,” just a side project, since the staircase happened to be right there… So, with the help of an expert, we created a 3D model of the melted staircase, which I’ll make available on my website soon so anyone can play around with it. Here’s how it works: you slowly walk up the stairs, taking a photo at every step, and then software stitches it all together into a millimeter-accurate 3D model. THowever, there’s still some work to be done. This is just a preview video, and the model still has a few glitches and holes here and there. We’re working on fixing those. But it’s already gorgeous—take a look! And what will it be good for? Well, anyone will be able to examine it, take measurements, and try to figure out how this material actually melted and accumulated—without having to travel there. It’s going to be a real treat for armchair archaeologists once it’s finished! And I still haven’t even told you about the “secret project”…
