@spokenpast

I like to dig up the past. Worked at institutions such as the British Museum. Now Independent. Like to post videos to YouTube when I can.

Michael is a liar. He does no research, misrepresents real academics, gets the most basic facts wrong, all while shoving his degree in your face as his only source. It is embarrassing and absolutely disgraceful. @MichaelButtonX youtube.com/watch?v=kXwzfB…

The fox that lives at the British Museum. Colleagues would say they saw it very often, and I didn't believe them. A fox that lives on the British Museum grounds? No way. But, I saw it this one time after work, and never again!

@PortantIssues @MichaelButtonX I have spoken with two. Professor Henriette van der Blom who then referred me to the head of department Dr. William Mack. They had no idea about Buttons claims about their university and also denied said claims.

I missed this when it first appeared, the points made are entirely correct and this contribution to the discussion deserves more views (#Buttonboy's latest trite nonsense got 123K views in the first day). No wonder @MichaelButtonX can't be arsed to actually reply.

@PortantIssues @MichaelButtonX It's his favourite talking point. He is smarter than professionals. He is smarter than his university professors. Listen to him because he sees something that people who dedicate their lives to the field somehow missed. Then he says he respects archaeologists. It's disgusting.

@spokenpast @MichaelButtonX Well, he's so keen at every step to put down professional archaeology for allegedly "getting everything wrong", "misinforming the public" or "(stupidly) ignoring/hiding what only he - a layman - can see", yet cannot justify his views on us if challenged. Greasy-haired jerk.

Rome kept receipts for its biggest lift, and it was not these stones. The 3 blocks in this wall at Baalbek, a temple platform in eastern Lebanon, weigh 800 tons each, and no surviving Roman record mentions them. Mainstream credits Roman builders of the 1st century AD, the same empire that documented its projects from roads to aqueducts. Each block is over 60 feet long and sits 20 feet above the ground. 🔹Rome's largest temple 🔹6 columns still stand 65 feet 🔹A 1,000 ton block still in the quarry 🔹A 1,650 ton block dug up beneath it in 2014 🔹The blocks fit so close a knife cannot slide between Yet Rome did brag about a giant lift, just not this one. In 357 AD the empire shipped an obelisk of over 400 tons from Egypt on a vessel rowed by 300 men. These blocks weigh nearly twice as much. Ammianus Marcellinus, a Roman historian, recorded that lift in detail, and Rome carved the story onto the obelisk's base. It even struck coins picturing the temple that sits on these stones. An empire that celebrated the smaller feat fell silent on the greater one. Either their greatest lift left no record behind, or it was never their lift. Which is easier to believe, that Rome forgot its biggest achievement, or that somebody else moved these stones?

@DrHughT These comments... Mohs Scale! Hardness! This isn’t marble vs. granite. The point of this post is that just because something looks impossibly man-made doesn’t mean it wasn’t. Also, the granite statues weren’t worked with just hammers and chisels.

I realize Dunky is a very, very slow learner, but does he really think he’s going to shut me up? Really? Particularly since he’s still too afraid of me to unblock me? 😂😂😂😂😂

Imagine trying to hunt the largest animals on Earth from a tiny boat. You wait for your hunting partner Which is a pod of wild killer whales! It sounds unbelievable, but it really happened. The amazing story of the Killer Whales of Eden is live now! 🐋 youtu.be/utzfZO7BGiw

Been a couple of months since I helped researched this for him, but I'm glad to see Dave is finally releasing his video on Michael Button. (Soon). Hint hint: It's very in-depth and exposes him completely.

@Roderickrodder @MichaelButtonX That is an independent paper by Alberto Donini. Not credible and shows no proof behind that claim. And also, not one of the people you just mentioned.

We call it the Stone Age because stone tools dominate the archaeological record. But that almost certainly understates how important organic technologies were - those made from wood, leather, textiles, rope, bark and other perishable materials. Most of those technologies have simply disappeared.

We call it the Stone Age because stone is what survived. They probably built much more in wood - and it's all lost to time

@Roderickrodder @MichaelButtonX Care to share a link to these very credible "loads of pictures" that Hancock and Schoch (who believes these ruts may have been caused by a solar event by the way) shared that prove they extend hundreds of meters below the sea?

@spokenpast @MichaelButtonX Birzebbuiga, documented by Martin Schaefer, Alastair Pearson. Graham Hancock and Robert schoch have loads of pics of the ruts over 100m from the shore line on their websites.

@Roderickrodder @MichaelButtonX Taking after Michael using real academics and citing them for something they never said, I see. No. Schaefer, Pearson, or even Mottershead document that. At all.

@Roderickrodder @MichaelButtonX They don't. And yes, I would love that. Go ahead. Just remember, you need to back up your claims. For example, where do the cart ruts extend hundreds of meters under the sea, and what is your source?

@spokenpast @MichaelButtonX The so called cart ruts do indeed extend hundreds of meters into the sea. I can give you many more examples of you lying in your video if you wish?

@Roderickrodder @MichaelButtonX And you're still not explaining how I lied. If you prefer, I can give you many examples of Michael lying just in that one video if you wish?
