You won!
![]() But try using your reason next time for having an insight on how science is improving. You're at least lucky not to be in a period when people like you were "sure" that the earth was flat. ![]() |

This pendant... It says from B.C. Was such craftsmanship possible then? I was quite surprised BTW, and I still have doubts if this awesome craft is that ancient.
Here's the info written ablout it: Fish Pendant ca. 1878-1749 B.C. Middle Kingdom- From Egypt, Haraga, Cemetery A, Tomb 72 Here's the source: https://twitter.com/SumerianHittite/status/1412440063246491658 And here's the image: ![]() |

Nope. I also haven't read any "sorcery books" in my life. It might seem ironic. ![]() I Google-searched that "exhibit", there appeared big statues on my screen. The fish image I shared is likely a small pendant. I really wasn't aware that such micro-craft could be done so masterfully around those years. It could be my ignorance though. |

By the bye, I had a thought about this long long ago, but didn't state it earlier. Lest the bitter discussions "repeat". I kindly request not to discuss it with me. I have a fixed opinion about its probability, and unless you're a genius or you can falsify me with facts, it will not change. Scientific "facts" are always debatable. I mean like a proving that this image is fake. My thought is/was, the formulae of such a thing might have been hidden or might not have been shared with the scientists. The reason for this could be to prevent some real danger. A praying mantis of this size could easily kill humans. Even grasshoppers can do that, if somehow they could have the same movement abilities with their tiny/normal kind. I really am a man of science in principle, but the world is not as it is shown to us. I still think that this is likely fake, but could be real still.

It is most definitely fake because of two anatomical features of insects: Trachea and exoskeleton.

I certainly wouldn't; anyone can repeat the experiment of Eratosthenes.

During the period of World War II, there was a secret bomber-making factory south of Seattle, Washington. To hide the factory, Boeing camouflaged it by entirely covering it with a fake neighborhood created by a Hollywood set designer! The fake neighborhood included fake houses, trees, and artificial sidewalks. The intention was to hide the presence of an airplane production facility down below from other potential bombers. |

Oh, you definitely would. By the way, "experts" also say that Dimash's highest note is a D8 and I'm sure that it is a G8. Anyway I'm happy with my imagination. You can be happy with yours too. Have a good night. If you go on making your chess moves, I may use my arcade skills. I really am a grand master in arcade fighting games. I'm really at loss for words, and don't have any other method to "stop" you. All in all, I'll not answer again. Most likely. You can make your "winning" move. ![]() Edited by Shadowyzard - November 16 2021 at 12:29 |
