Ever wonder why two different civilizations thousands of miles apart and divided by an ocean and a few hundred years both decided to build pyramids? Or why certain cultures advanced overnight with amazing ideas while others sit in the dirt? And why or how someone could out of the clear blue sky come up with an invention that really changes things when they had nothing like it to compare to?

I think that some believe that the Pyramids built on different places so far apart is that their were stretches of dry land and they migrated. I know that when looking at different layers in a Coal Mine there were periods of Deserts sandwiched between layers of Water and swamps which destroys their Global Warming Pollution BS!!


God please keep they 19 fallen UBB miners out of trouble up there.

How did Da Vinci draw helicopters and machine guns hundreds of years before they were invented.

There are one (This word is unacceptable on Trapperman) of a lot of things I wonder about but we can start of with something simple because we have some mental midgets that troll about every thread I see on here.

How can you so easily get the notion you are being watched only to look over your shoulder and boom! Someone is watching you?

I actually know the answer to a lot of these riddles but then I cause street lights to go out everytime I drive into town after dark so... cool

I doubt people are any more intelligent now then they were thousands of years ago. I suspect intelligence is actually dropping, because in most cultures, we no longer let stupid people die. They now successfully procreate making more people like them.

When I was kid i figured out that making arrow shafts out of cattails worked well, long before I learned Native Americans used them. I also figured out how how to build rock walls, using stackable stones and rubble, like they did in early Europe. I think many ideas are thought of separately, a great many times.

I always wonders how every civilization stumbled upon a technique for baking bread. Get some weeds seeds, crush and grind, and bird eggs and mix with water, etc.

I wonder how they were even built.

Too me it is quite a disgrace that modern science has decided that a consensus solves every mystery even if those pesky little facts don't support their explanations.

Thankfully in this day and age we can go directly to a researcher who has a social media platform and find out the facts that he has uncovered. Of course we are not supposed to talk about most of them but knowing more than you say isn't a terrible place to people watch LOL
