The irony is that we've made communication technology that's better than the planet has ever seen, but it seems to just be separating us. In a physical sense, it's isolating us. We communicate like never before, but the product is our isolation individually.
You know, when it comes to the flood myth, I think that's connected to the Ice Age that everybody was, you know, the rising and lowering of the seas. I think that was something that humans were experiencing all over the planet. So that particular one, I think, is fairly interesting. That one narrow part of what you just asked about.
The other part, I mean, I personally favor a theory of what Star Trek called human parallel development. Star Trek went on to see it, you know, in all sorts of planets and things. And, of course, that was fantasy. But I do think that we as human animals on this planet have certain compunctions inside of us that are almost instinctual.
And they are an investigation of our world and they are communication. And so I think certain things, there were also necessities. You know, we need shelter. We need food. How are we going to go about this? I don't see it.
Like at least Graham's early books would suggest that it was an advanced ancient civilization that the rest of us got pieces and fragments of and are now still digging our way back up. I think it was independent around the world. And that it's kind of a product of humans... Being the animals we are. And that's a theory, just like Graham's is a theory or a hypothesis.
But I see us as the parallel developing, the concept that we could build a house. We lived in a cave, but we could build a cave anywhere. Let's do it. And it ends up with four walls and a roof. Yeah. moving stones. One that really I think is a very particular invention that I'm fascinated by is the bow and arrow.
That one seems to have not just come from one place and spread out independently developed, but that's a very, I look for things that are what archeology calls diagnostic artifacts. These are very particular to this culture.
um as way as signatures on culture but you know let me get myself back to your um Africa like long long ago okay at least I I won't pretend I remember the day Steve that's what we got Steve
One of the things I would add on there is I think for people building pyramids all over the world, one highly, highly conservative, sober answer might be I was walking through the jungles around the city of El Mirador and I I had never seen so many ants in my life before, you know, whether they're soldier ants or fire ants or leaf cutter ants.
And I was, the group of people that I was there with, I was talking to them and I was like, I was like, you know.
I was going to say 70,000.
Damn it.
I had 70 in my head. I was scared to say it. Darn it.
Luke, I interrupted you.
We were talking about ants.
Well, and I was just saying, you know, ants work in much of the way that maybe the Maya people do or did. You know, they work in unison. They bring resources back and forth. And what do they build? They build pyramids. You know, it's in them to do that. They're going to do it naturally. And it makes sense in their little tiny brain.
and so you know it could be that that human beings we are wired that way if that makes sense like ants build ant mounds they build their own little pyramids all over the world well human beings are going to do that too because maybe it makes sense to to build a structure that way it turns out looking like a mound because um without mortar or rebar they can't build it up high without it splaying out unless it has a fat base going to a tiny top that's
That's the most boring explanation of why pyramids are all over the world. Any kid, you know, your kids, if they have blocks, you know, they can build a tower a couple of times and the other one pushes it over. But if you build something with a fat base going up to a tiny top, that's a stable building and you can build the tallest thing you can build before the advent of cement and rebar.
by building a pyramid.
Another thing I would add, and this is just me being facetious or devil's advocate, but that conversation of pyramids being built all over the world kind of runs hand in hand with why the Egyptians are building the pyramids. And then you can leap to, why do you see pyramids all over the world?
