One of the reasons they bbelieve the pyramids was a power plant was the presence of sut and lack of places for torches. I’m reiterating but that’s what I remember

Freddie Mercury vibes

The Great Pyramid Decoded by Peter Lemesurier is a great read for anyone else interested in pyramid deep dives ✌🏼

Been waiting for this subject to come up for years

Idk why you think a conversation has to be an argument. You yourself said that no one knows how it happened precisely. Bit of a wild tangent there at the end when talking about Aliens built the pyramids and conspiracies, I did not mention anything about that and that comparison was pretty useless. I was just giving you another source which mentions that it gradually fell apart due to numerous reasons not a random fire that just burnt it down like he was saying. I also never said I believed it was buried (the article broadly suggests it and clearly states theres many theories to it and even suggests the most plausible one, wars and continuous degradation and possibly neglect). What I meant by my original post was that it fell apart slowly due to a lot of reasons, neglect being one of them and that it probably was not a catastrophic fire that destroyed it. To the first paragraph: If you don’t like him so much don’t pay the 5 bro. If someone is running with what Schulz is telling them about history, its that persons fault, a comedian cannot be your trusted history source.

It depends on what part of ancient Greece, you talking about specifically obviously the Spartans had a very different mindset and rules of law than the people of Athens. But in certain parts of ancient Greece, anyone from a slave or peasant to the highest in society, could learn to read or write, obviously most people didn’t see the benefit of it when they could be working, making art, or surviving. writing was for keeping track of stuff or formal things, the majority of people weren’t just gonna sit there and journal about how the day had been rather than get more food, work more, spend time with people or just enjoying life wherever they were while they weren’t working. There wasnt a barrier as to whether you could learn or not it was just whether you wanted to.

i’m not trying to defend Schulz, literally later in the video, he says no ancient Greeks could read or write, except for the kings, which is bullshit. There was a law in ancient Greece, where anybody who wanted to learn to read, or write could. most people didn’t take advantage of it because they didn’t see the point when they could be working but anybody who wanted to could learn to read or write, including slaves peasants; the lowest people in society to the highest had the same access to learning how to read or write, obviously, the rich people didn’t have to do shit all day but it’s not like there was a restriction like he’s implying. The dude very rarely has an idea of what he’s talking about. I’m not here for an argument, my point was that there was multiple wars and multiple fires that wrecked the library of Alexandria, which is historically documented, whether or not one single force did it like Schulz implies is different, but he was right to say there was a fire(Caesar) and there was a fire that was set by multiple different invading forces intentionally. That very article is a contradiction to your above statement. It’s literally telling you that the ruins were gradually neglected by people and that was the decay over hundreds of years. The first two parts reference how it was burned along with the entire district it resided in, so much that it resembles a desert. then had another conquering force years later, then then their own did deconstruction to what was literally ruins. Multiple times within that article it uses historically backed records and documents to tell you how it was destroyed with nothing left, tells you multiple points recorded in history, where someone who visited, and then within 60 years from then the library wasn’t there, not even a single ruin. and then you copy the end Paragraph that says many, which means some, not many or the majority, historians believe it may still be buried somewhere. “such repeated destruction along with neglect over centuries means its decline was gradual” doesn’t back up your argument you’re failing to realize they’re just using semantics, they’re playing with words. the repeated destruction was it literally being blown off the map, it went from the library of Alexandria to a desert that literally means there was nothing left. as I said above, a massive event dropped it to its knees, and the ruins didn’t disappear long after, but it wasn’t some pristine building that was in use constantly that slowly fell apart day by day brick by brick. The thing was literally burned to the ground and then went through deconstruction from what was left after the fires and wars from the “volatile” Alexandria Once again, you picked the very last part of the article that says “Many archaeologist believe it’s buried” That’s a belief held by a small majority who some call conspiracy theorists (whether they’re right or not, no idea) but they’re looked at the same, by their peers, as people who say, aliens built the pyramid, or that Atlantis is real, there’s evidence for both of those things, but the majority of professionals within the community who research it don’t hold that opinion.

Schulz is a repeat offender of Alternate History, you are right, but he knows a lot of stereotypical shit and random bits of history as well.

Attempting to identify one single devastating fire that destroyed the great Library and all of its holdings is a futile task. Alexandria was often a volatile city, especially during the Roman period, as witnessed by Caesar's burning of the ships, and also in the violent struggle between the occupying forces of Queen Zenobia of Palmyra and the Roman emperor Aurelian in 270-71 CE. Aurelian eventually recovered the city for Rome from Queen Zenobia's armies, but not before many parts of Alexandria had been devastated, and the Bruchion district, which contained the palace and the Library, were apparently 'made into a desert'. The city was again sacked a few years later by Roman Emperor Diocletian. Such repeated destruction spread over several centuries, along with neglect of the Library's contents as people's opinions and affiliations changed, means that the 'catastrophe' that ended the ancient Library at Alexandria was gradual, taking place over a period of four or five hundred years. The last recorded Director of the great Library was scholar and mathematician Theon (c. 335 - c. 405 CE), father of the female philosopher Hypatia, brutally murdered by a Christian mob in Alexandria in 415 CE. Perhaps one day, in the deserts of Egypt, scrolls that were once part of the great Library will be discovered. Many archaeologists believe that the buildings that once composed the legendary seat of learning at ancient Alexandria, if not buried under the modern metropolis, could still survive relatively intact somewhere in the north-eastern part of the city.

My memory could be failing me, but if I remember correctly from history class, it’s documented that there was a fire that took place during a Roman Civil War, it wasn’t cataclysmic enough to destroy it, I think it was around Julius‘s era. The only reference I could find definitively stating it decayed over time with no interference from anyone or natural disasters, was on Wikipedia and the one reference at the bottom they use as a citation for that. but from everywhere I went The most consistent opinion seems to be there’s very little evidence to suggest what happened and most people assume it’s a natural disaster. not saying that’s the right opinion but the general consensus seems to be that but more than likely some type of natural disaster basically brought it to its knees and a few people claim it was done during an invasion. There’s very little evidence to suggest what happened at all, they can’t even tell if it was washed away, burnt down, or swallowed up in an earthquake. I’d have to double check but pretty sure there isn’t detailed records describing its construction to its it falling apart brick by brick, and when it finally decayed. Either way if I hear schulz talk with 100% confidence in his voice or state something like it’s a definite fact I usually assume it’s wrong in some way.

Bro Alex done said 10 words the whole cast

There’s actually a real life picture of the computer image mark showed, it’s not as far away where you can see the entire span of water from California to Australia and Japan but there’s a satellite image from i think 2015 where there’s three hurricanes in the middle of the Pacific Ocean and it’s basically a real life picture of what Mark showed, from a worse angle but it does have three hurricanes in it.

Alexx wasn’t feelin it 😂

Ya'll need to watch Alice in borderland on Netflix, Japanese show about playing games to survive, sorta their version of suiqd games but storylines completely different. CGI and acting can be a bit average sometimes but it's a good watch to see how humans could act when the world is completely changed and they only have themselves to trust and rely on
