Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!

“I met a traveller from an antique land
Who said: Two vast and trunkless legs of stone
Stand in the desert. Near them, on the sand,
Half sunk, a shattered visage lies, whose frown,
And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command,
Tell that its sculptor well those passions read
Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things,
The hand that mocked them and the heart that fed:
And on the pedestal these words appear:
“My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings:
Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!”
No thing beside remains. Round the decay
Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare
The lone and level sands stretch far away.”

— Percy Shelley, “Ozymandias”, 1819.

The ‘traveller from an antique land’ refers to Greek historian Diodorus Siculus, who wrote in his Bibliotheca historica, describing a massive Egyptian statue: “King of Kings Ozymandias am I. If any want to know how great I am and where I lie, let him outdo me in my work.”

We have been marveling at these statues for thousands of years.

    What if the core #7 had something more? Man, it would just be so cool to find a way to pull out some audio from stones in Egypt.

    The video link is to a recent short by Mark Rober where he records his voice onto aluminum foil & the grooves reminded me of Thomas Edison, and Core #7

    Have you seen the video where the Pyramid casing stones have a hollow sound when they’re tapped?

    I’ve been a fan & supporter since watching Serapeum of Saqqara. You’ve endured quite a bit & I’m thankful you’ve made great effort to remain professional & try not to over-state claims.

    There is a technology that claims it will one day be able to take a rock from Gettysburg & hear Lincoln’s Gettysburg address as if it were recorded.

    There are 2 interesting verses that I think of when it comes to your line of work:

    One was when Christ talked about how ‘the rocks would cry out and praise me’
    The other “The king’s heart is in the hand of the Lord, as the rivers of water: he turneth it whithersoever he will.”

    I asked myself . . . who was turning the rivers of water wherever they wanted to . . . and I have been looking for some place where this makes sense in Egypt & think you found it.

    I hope the technology associated with understanding phonons (not photons) increases and ancient soundwaves will be revealed. My hopes are highest with Core #7, because you’d burn every doubter; especially those that tried to claim the lines were parallel.

    Keep Going, I plan to donate again for value as I feel you certainly deserve it. Thank you for the content & pursuit of truth & knowledge.

  2. I FIGURED IT OUT!

    How the people of Chem moved monolythic granite blocks 20-80 metric tonnes over 500 miles in mountainous terrain?

    Step 1 : Make Hydrogen gas from Zinc and HCl reaction in Kings chamber…
    Zn(s)+2HCl(aq)→ZnCl 2 (aq)+H2(g)…Leaves Hydrogen gas to pipe up to the top of the pyramid + Zinc Chloride in an aqueous solution that drains down for recycling and replenishment of the storage tank fluid volume level. (Could use aluminium,steel,magnesium, etc)

    Step 2: Stitch fabric and animal skin zeppelins that are filled with HYDROGEN GAS and can take hundreds of passenengers accross the oceans AND even 20 metric tonne capacity hot air balloons that when combined and tuned can make an 80 metric tonne statue levitate and simply be towed along by a dozen warriors or 3 men with elephants and boys.

    Step 3: Wasting years and millions in polishing stone services?? GRANITE WHEN DAMP BECOMES MALLEABLE AT 650 degrees Celcius! And when raised to 1300 degrees Celcius, it melts and resets with a boundary layer of clear smooth volcanic glass that looks PERFECT!
