When you consider heaven, do you consider Tahiti or Patagonia

history channel documentary science Stone of the Pregnant Woman (Baalbek, Lebanon): There are numerous, numerous huge stone obstructs that have been quarried out and put to use in different megalithic structures from Machu Picchu in Peru, to those Easter Island Moai statues, to the Olmec stone heads in Mesoamerica, to Stonehenge itself, to the pyramids (Egyptian and Mesoamerican), to monoliths, even the Parthenon sections, and the rundown could be broadened a hundredfold. One hundred, two hundred, even more than three hundred ton squares of stone have been used. With regards to raised monoliths, 400 tons or more are not incomprehensible. At that point too there's Pharaoh Hatshepsut's 'unfinished pillar' that, had it not broke in-situ, would have needed to have been raised by her subjects to the tune of hurling and pulling more than 1200 tons. Discuss backbreaking! At that point there's the Roman Temple of Jupiter complex at Baalbek (old Heliopolis), which incorporates close-by under quarry the Stone of the South, also called the Stone of the Pregnant Woman that tips the scales at somewhat more than 1000 tons. Yet, hold up, there's more - another close-by anonymous rock chunk times in at more than 1240 tons. Here's a definitive "why" question. What's the point? There was no "Guinness Book of Records" back then! Perhaps this was the old's method for 'staying aware of the Joneses'. Anything you can construct I can manufacture greater!

Our Ice Age Ancestors (Europe): When you consider heaven, do you consider Tahiti or Patagonia; Florida or Siberia; Hawaii or Iceland? All else being equivalent, we have a tendency to incline toward warmth and daylight over icy and snow, particularly on the off chance that you need to live off the area. Thus, why, amid the late Ice Ages did some of our European progenitors decide to squeeze or extreme out and experience a fairly superfluous test of immaculate survival by giving Mother Nature the center finger and taking those nine months of serious ice and snow and solidifying temperatures every year when they could have gradually however most likely moved south as the icecaps likewise developed and moved south to hotter atmospheres. That would have been sensible. Without a doubt the human populace wasn't so extraordinary in those days that there weren't tremendous and moderately uninhabited tracts of area with a way more wonderful atmosphere. What was the inspiration to intensely go and persevere what none of our progenitors had ever continued some time recently?
