The removal of the casing stones of the Great Pyramid is second only
to the vandalism that has temporarily destroyed the great Western
astronomical tradition.The careful work of many people and
civilisations ,when left in the charge of careless people always turns
into some mess and looking what you are doing now is no different to
what happened in the Mid 14th century Eygpt.
The great civilisations appear to have allowed for a certain authority
to exist in order to express its accomplishments but other eras have
produced men who manage to undo and wreck these accomplishments even
as they thought they were doing everyone a favor.
You will indeed carry on as if nothing has happened and make up
whatever stories that suit whatever conclusions you wish but
ultimately none of you have attempted to rise to the level of those
great men and the civilisations,however imperfect,that give rise to
the highest faculties of humanity.
Bull***. You are monomaniacal, probably nuts; but even you must admit
(mustn't you?) that greater outrages than the removal of *some* of the
Egyptian pyramid's casing stones, and some moderns (apparently)
dissing whatever you are ranting on about, have occurred. Tell me what
you think about:
The burning of the Great Library at Alexandria;
The near-total destruction of Mesoamerican codicese;
The near-total destruction of west coastal South American kipus;
The complete blowing up of two gigantic Buddahs in Afghanistan.
There are myriad more such cases, each more heinos than either of your
examples.
If you are truly concerned about the loss of information, and the
degradation of ancient achievements, then at least try to bring a
little balance, a little rationality, to your rants.
But I don't think you really care about such loss, except in the case
you maunder on about. Which, in fact, is not a case of lost
information, but a failure (as you see it) to have busy people fall in
awe at the feet of the god you have made for yourself.
I may be wrong. Let's see.
