Ancient-Civilizations existed in the Americas before “Indians” & 70,000 y/o braclet with modern drill marks found (1 Viewer)

I think this week's episode of NOVA is going to be an update on how they built the pyramids. They've done an episode on it before but I think this one is new. 
I watched this one last night.  I had not heard before about the papyrus that they found with records from its construction. That was pretty cool.

 
I've been to Cairo and have seen the pyramids in person.  (to answer the thread title)
Worth the visit?

Ive been looking at some tours. I wish I got into this 5 or 6 years ago. It would have been nice to take a tour with John Anthony West before he passed.

I would definitely do a group tour as there is safety in numbers.  I was only able to spend a few days in Cairo when I went and would like to see some of the other sites when/if I go back.

The pyramids and the Sphinx are just an amazing experience...so much more impressive in person.   Also, the laser show at night is dope and highly recommended.(although probably the most touristy thing imaginable)

Thanks, thats what Ive read from others but its good to hear from a FBG. 

 
we're the savages..  George Washington was in a cult that was into aliens, man..   and Martha was a hip hip hip lady
I mean, did you ever look at a dollar bill, man? There's some spooky stuff goin' on on a dollar bill, man. And it's green too.

 
It's age is based on the age of the sediment it was found in.  Maybe it sank into the sediment or was originally in an ancient crater or crevasse.  :shrug:

<========  Not a scientist. 
Me either. Just found it interesting. 

I love this kinda stuff. Cant get enough. 

 
That’s how they date all these things. I’m not sure it’s possible to date the actual item.
:shrug:

Without dating the item, there seems to be about a million more logical ways for it to have gotten there than the one implied.  Unless they have found other such items in similar aged sediment around the world corroborating it?

Or even just the area?

Along with he bracelet they found a few other items including a finger.

Still looking but I did find this article that says:

Skeptical that such an ancient population could have created such an advanced piece of jewelry, experts tested the soil found around the bracelet using oxygen isotopic analysis and concluded that the latter had been undisturbed by humans since the Denisovan period.


Also, if you're not familiar with who the Denisovan folks were read this.   (TL/DR - They were a human sub species different from us/neanderthals)

Undisturbed soil is a good indicator of age. A decent soil scientist can discern whether or not the soil has ever been disturbed, though if it was minimal disturbance thousands of years ago it becomes more difficult.

 
Expedition Unknown had an interesting episode about Tiwanku in Bolivia. Although the age of the site is in question. 


The largest stone block within the Akapana, made of andesite, is estimated to weigh 65.7 tonnes
I don't care how many slaves you throw at it, 65.7 tons is just redonkulous. No Fn way a bunch of hunter gatherers did that #### with mud and logs and rope.
