Spaghetti noodles

Booze thread! So got the Cana Fuerte 16-yr rum (allegedly a true age statement, not solera, or average age). Unspecified "Central American" cane origins, probably = Nicaragua. Under $40, good for something that old. Pretty good, tastes like no sugar added.
For value proposition, good. Only having discovered its cousin (same Dutch company bottling/distributing it) a bit earlier somewhat tempers my enthusiasm. Ron Allegro XO, Dominican, solera, average 8 years. Really really good, and only about $35. Best/best value Spanish-style I've yet had, but the exploration is in early stages.

As I recall from reading, Egyptian burials started from a simple grave to having a small structure built over the grave in order to leave food offerings for the deceased's ka, and these eventually grew larger and more extensive until, in the end, you ended up with yuge complexes of stone covering the grave of the Pharaoh.
This doesn't explain mysteries of the Great Pyramid such as the Long Gallery or the empty sarcophagus, but there you are.

Nope. I set the Pressure Cook to 7 minutes and the spaghetti comes out Al Dente. I should increase it to 8 minutes to make it a bit softer.
(I wrote 15 minutes above because that's how long it takes for the Instant Pot to complete the cycle.)

Dismissing the great pyramid as a "pile of rocks" is someone not paying attention. They used a lot of interesting materials and techniques. It was the tallest man made object for thousands of years. The Lincoln cathedral, technically speaking. More accurately probably the Eiffel tower in 1880s. That's pretty remarkable if you think about it.

Most of them were. Moses had to intercede otherwise God would've wiped them out(although presumably this act of intercession was expected and is a form of proof of Moses's own worthiness).

I think they were doing both. The cliffs were straight vertical. Just a incredibly beautiful place. The thing that the jumpers loved was that there so many lifts up and down the valleys to the top of the cliffs, they could get in four or five jumps in one day versus one or two where in places they would have to climb up.

We know it was well as we know anything in the ancient past. The quarries where they hammered out the obelisks still exist, along with the broken and lost hammer stones that they used, and with unfinished works partially cut from the stone.

Buildings
Aerials (Antennas)
Spans (Bridges)
Earth (Cliffs and whatnot)
You can also combine BASE jumping with wingsuit flying, which is where, to my understanding, most of the deaths come from. BASE is a low margin of error to begin with, and adding in the dynamics of a wingsuit to a pursuit where you're already on the razor's edge is not conducive to your longevity.

Probably had more to do with the collapse of the tin trade from the Afghanistan area, without any real substitute other than Cornwall which was literally the end of the world.
Bronze manufacture was very centralized, as was most all production around the city states, which made them very brittle in the face of disruption of that central material.

Right, but to suggest they actually cut those obelisks with hammer stones is insane. This is how the "it was aliens!!" nutbars gain traction in the first place. The official explanations are not sufficient, but since they can't or won't adjust the official narrative academia ignores what they can't explain.
There is clear, obvious evidence of huge circular saw blade marks on granite and other remarkably hard stone like andesite and diorite all over Egypt. The official Egyptology doesn't allow for anything like that. This is the problem.

If I were going to erect a 110 foot one-piece stone obelisk, I would search for really sound, unfractured rock to start. Quarry a slab, and then trim it down to obelisk shape, but leave pairs of knobs on opposing sides, every 5 feet or so, down it's whole length. Dig a long, slanting trench, reaching 105 feet at its deep end; near vertical walls. Slaves are expendable, eh. Use rollers to slide the obeslisk down the slope of the trench until its butt end meets bottom, and them use prybars and ropes to slowly raise it to vertical. Then use wooden prybars and fulcrums, lifting on wooden cages locked to the knobs, to lift obelisk a yard or so, and fill in below it. Rinse and repeat. When a new set of knobs appears, chisel off previous set. Add decorative carvings as you go.

IMG - recently discovered that roasting pecans on the stove-top is much easier than in the oven. Need to find the right heat level for your stove/pan combo, but once you do, easy to frequently stir them, avoid too much scorching.
And then adding some butter, brown sugar, bourbon, salt, and cayenne in the right amounts ..... oh my. Now a regular thing, make large batches to mix with other nuts for an addictive snack.

He worked out the degree of slope that spiral ramp would need, and what it could not exceed if you were going to drag stones up it. He figured that on certain levels as the construction rose there would be areas where the couldn't place blocks so they could make the turns, and sure enough at those particular levels the corners are built from smaller blocks than the other levels.
A French archeology team-unrelated to this guy, completely separate project-did a series of sonar and radar scans of the great pyramid and found that there is a spiral shaped trail of looser material that runs from the base to the top of the structure. It seems to be from the back filling the ramp behind them on the way out.

I think it was overcentralization, due to the requirements of bringing in tin from so far away, down a trading chain. And that central power led to centralization of all the economy
I envisioned a trading axis between Crete and Anatolia (Hittites and independents like Troy) for bronze and finished goods, that went through Greece. When the Greek city states developed the pentaconter they eclipsed the Minoans, and when things started getting tight the Greek cities allied to take Crete, Cyprus and Troy: when the alliance broke down and the Hittites and the Egyptians fought to a near standstill at Kadesh and became ineffective in controlling their borderlands the various warring groups decided to grab their own kingdoms in the Eastern Med.

There is also tons of HAHO jumping going on, probably far more common than HALO.
HAHO (Especially if you developed a wingsuit with a motor) allows for extended cross-country navigation, allowing the high-speed dudes doing it to jump out over friendly territory, and using their small radar signature, penetrate denied airspace and make a clandestine landing.

Flinders Petrie was the first to write about this stuff. He examined drill cores that were found, and estimated a 1 in 60 feed rate, or about a tenth of an inch per revolution in granite. This is impressive today, and was impossible at the time he wrote his findings. Like I said I don't know how it was done, but it wasn't done with stone pounders and bronze chisels. No fucking way.

The firearm transaction records that the ATF is referring to is the ATF Form 4473. Federal law currently states that a firearms dealer can destroy 4473 forms after 20 years. If a firearms dealer goes out of business or closes before those 20 years, federal law says dealers must hand over those forms to the ATF.

So how does the ATF justify this massive privacy invasion of gun owners? They claim that "the vast majority of criminal firearms traces are done for state and local law enforcement agencies pertaining to active investigations." But interestingly, in true Federal Government style, they also mention that they have no idea how effective this system is and if any of the information leads to the successful prosecution of gun crimes.

Both rope saws (or wire saws) and circular saw will leave arc-shaped tool marks. It would be easy to mistake the two. If they were using core drills, that was probably to make a starting point for the rope saw cut. But I would not rule out circular saws, either. Probably soft material, charged with abrasive.

OK, that sounds interesting too, but Egyptologists won't allow for anything like that. It's the weird part of history or archaeology. They have a narrative or official history, and anything outside of that is just not well received.
The Egyptian museum has a collection of andesite and diorite bowls and vases that is just absolutely amazing. They are exquisitely made, obviously on some kind of lathe? Again, Egyptology doesn't allow for this. Lathes didn't exist, couldn't exist, according to the experts.

I'd be cautious about official numbers from England on German casualties in their battles. They had a very good motive for exaggerating losses, as the whole reason for them was to 'break' Germany. Comparing the dead buried on the front in German records doesn't add up. No less than Winston Churchill noticed this in his history of the Great War.
There are some severe battles the allies had near Verdun that are not recorded since they had already claimed they had captured the area months before.
