Seven Wonders Of The World
merrie
by merrie  7-31-2008   
  The list of manmade wonders was first compiled by a Hellenistic traveler in the second century B.C Of these, only the pyramids at El Gizeh remain. In ancient times, the pyramids of Egypt; the Hanging Gardens of Babylon; Phidias's statue of Zeus at Olympia; the temple of Artemis at Ephesus; the tomb, or mausoleum, of King Mausolus at Halicarnassus; the Colossus of Rhodes; and either the Pharos, or lighthouse, at Alexandria or the walls of Babylon. http://www.answers.com/topic/seven-wonders-of-the-world

oldest living things on earth
ofcapri
by ofcapri  7-19-2008    1
 Some of the oldest living things on earth are Bristlecone pine trees, some of which can be found in the White Mountains of California. Many of them are over four thousand years old. Many of the trees living today were seedlings when the pyramids were being constructed, and mature trees in the time of Christ. These trees are ancient! Go 2 source 4 more info.

 Whether one accepts conventional science's view of "primitive" man as an ape or not, there are volumes of evidence that cannot be explained away; that the ancients were anything but knuckle dragging near-beasts.

Sacsayhuaman walls - Cusco
farrider
by farrider  6-20-2008   
 There are no other walls like these. They are different from Stonehenge, different from the Pyramids of the Egyptians and the Maya, different from any of the other ancient monolithic stone-works. The stones fit so perfectly that no blade of grass or steel can slide between them. There is no mortar. They often join in complex and irregular surfaces that would appear to be a nightmare for the stonemason. Scientists speculate that the masonry process might have worked like this: after carving the desired shape out of the first boulder and fitting it in place, the masons would somehow suspend the second boulder on scaffolding next to the first one. They would then have to trace out a pattern on the second boulder in order to plan the appropriate jigsaw shape that would fit the two together. In order to make a precise copy of the first boulder's edges, the masons might have used a straight stick with a hanging plum- bob to trace its edges and mark off exact points for carving on the second

TOP 20 WORST CASTING DECISIONS EVER Part II (#10 - #6)
revenantdm
by revenantdm  6-7-2008   
 Here in the second Part I had to go deeper into the author's reasoning. No problem with Knightley, Denise Richards (though he was rather brutal), and Shatner... but I take exception with Robinson and Connery! Robinson did not play the Pharaoh in the Ten Commandments, Yul Brynner was Ramses II and his father, Seti, was played by great British actor Sir Cedric Hardwicke. Robinson was a minor overseer of his fellow Hebrews building the Pyramids... Never let Hollywood stand in the way of history but the reviewer should know that there was no Hebrew Pharaoh! The second point is a little less on point and more of opinion, but I find Sean Connery is such a great actor that disbelief is suspended when he is on the screen (note: Highlander II; the one no one wants to claim they made was a glaring exception but it was a stupid movie!) I found him convincing as Bond long before I thought of Moore, Dalton or Brosnan and they were very good Bonds and I had never seen an original until the mid 80

Pangea Day joins audiences around the world
papananook
by papananook  5-12-2008   
 The program was broadcast in seven languages. The live audience at Sony was about 1,200, joining crowds of 2,000 each in London, Rio de Janeiro, the Great Pyramids of Egypt, Mumbai, India, and Kigali, Rwanda, with smaller gatherings in other cities. At Sony, there were big video screens and a news ticker that listed a roll call of the cities and small towns participating (Each of the films and a one-hour highlight show was put up on the web at pangeaday.org right after the broadcast.)

Pyramids packed with fossil shells.
pokkets
by pokkets  4-28-2008    2
 They say that seashells prove that the rock was quarried, instead of cast in moulds. I can't imagine how making their own 10 tonne bricks in moulds would have made things any easier. Maybe just adding another stage to a process that was already a huge undertaking. I also heard once that after something is build it hasto 'settle' into into it's foundations, Very few builders or architects have been able to find a way to overcome this, but with their weight, and perfect seams with no mortar, the pyramids have only settled a fraction - perhaps a few inches, over thousands of years. Something that seems much more likely with solid rock than bricks. If only the library in Alexandria hadn't burned down with all of the blueprints.

 Pi(π) appears where you least expect it. Coincidentally, Pi Day is also the birthday of Albert Einstein, who no doubt knew more than a little about pi. Pi Day celebrants, usually children with an enthusiastic teacher and a varying degree of personal interest in the subject, learn about pi, circles, and, if they're lucky, eat baked pies of various sorts.
