About 20,000 years ago, sun was discharging across the solar system. There are scars like that all over earth and various other places throughout our system. If you look at a surface that's been blasted by high velocity plasma, you'll see that the scarring is identical. There's is a river though, that looks like it was created through water erosion.

Its not cool. It sent the previous civilization back into the stone age. And no, they're electrical scars that were filled in with water later. You'll notice how the river doesn't look the same. That's because it's in a river bed. The surrounding area doesn't look the same.

If that blast had been more powerful it could've even left mountains. Pulverizing the ground and pulling it into the current pretty much instantaneously, causing mass to build into a peak. We used to worship the sun. Saturn and Jupiter before that. When they were close enough to be visible by eye. Hence why Gods have a thing lightning. When our son was all that was left in the sky, humanity proclaimed it the one true God. This where the worship of the old gods ended. You all can look at the research that's been done and then do your own from there if you like. YouTube The Thunderbolts Project.

If there were previous advanced civilizations on earth, there would be traces of them. They would have left behind archeological artifacts and remnants of mining for heavy metals. Their tools and creations and structures would be easy to find, as ours will still be many millennia after we are gone.

There are no such traces because there were no such advanced civilizations. Away with ye, conspiracy nut.

I'm seeing the vegetation growing in the drainage channels and only the drainage channels. Even dry channels capture some water during a rain and retain some moisture afterwards. So it's simply water that the plants crave (not Gatorade). I don't think N,P, or K play any significant role in vegetation distribution here.

Can someone explain this? I’d have thought the other way around, as in the river bank wall opened and little bits of water kept flowing down paths of least resistance, creating the fractal pattern. But you’re saying that it’s the opposite? It starts at the branches (where are those sources of water?) and they join up into bigger and bigger highways before leading to the main river?

That's seems like an extremely reductive response to what I said. Is there a current explanation for the ability of stone age peoples to move megalithic stones in such precise manner? Literally my only claim is that the lack of explanation for this indicates that there are aspects of our history that is either misunderstood, misrepresented, or not understood at all.

Yes, I know, rolling logs, walking the heads, there's theoretical or more solid explanations for much of it! But to act like I'm some brain dead pop culture idiot for wondering how people who supposedly barely had use of tools lifted stones weighing many many tons into precise shapes seems weird to me.

They look the same because they are the same result of math/physics. Both plasma and electricity follow physics and the path of least resistance. That’s why neurons in the brain and galaxy clusters in space look identical, it’s the same reason why the spiral of a sunflower and the spiral of a galaxy are the same. Physics.

similar, if galaxies in space look like neuron clusters, what if all the galaxies in space ARE neurons, but for a giant brain the size of the universe? What if the universe IS a brain, and galaxy clusters are neurons?

If something like consciousness can be produced/received by the immense complexity of cells in the brain, what type of consciousness could be produced by a MORE complex system, as complex as the ENTIRE UNIVERSE? an infinitely intelligent/complex consciousness created by the interaction of all Matter in the universe. Essentially god

it’s all physics, water fractals look the same as energy fractals because everything is energy

That change occured during our Arcane Era. When the their region's more megalithic structures were originally built. It happened so long ago, the science telephoned into stories. The Clash of the Titans. All of the ancient religions tell these stories. Dragons, demons. These were how they described the patterns of the discharge. The Sumerians said Earth was actually half of a bigger planet. One of Jupiter's moons was pulled from orbit and slammed into Bahamut, Gaia. The lower half that survived became Earth. The Firmament. The Great Foundation. The other half settled between Mars amd Jupiter. They called it, The Hammered Bracelet and said the asteroids were full of gold. The other half eventually rounded back out, and now our planet is 79% water, with all of it's continents on one side. Falling off the edge of the world. The Egyptians tall of comit the believed was a servant of Ra. The book of the dead tells the story of how they watched a massive comit slam into the Earth. If you look at the area around Indonesia, you'll see that it's crater, and it even curves accounting Earth's rotation. There is a point on the other side planet, with it's trajectory lining up with an exit point. When the sun was discharging it was so bright you go blind if you looked at it. The story of Paul looking at God. From the head of Zeus, Jupiter Athena, Venus was born. Saturn and Jupiter were proto stars, but didnt ignite. One of them ejected mass. A planets sized comit of hydrogen. It passed close enough to our high oxygen rich atmosphere that it ignited. Earth flooded and Venus got a high pressure acid atmosphere. If you didn't know, Venus still has a faint comit tail. Mount Olympus: when Mars, Ares was blasted half the planets surface was either sent into space, some of which hit us, or was deposited on the other half of the planet. It's surface is covered in the same electrical scars. If you actually compare the images of riverbeds and high velocity electrical scars on a surface, you'll see the difference. Its been tested in a lab and is some to see. I could go on. There's sooo many stories about The Great Catastrophe, The Creation noted at the start of Genesis.

Factually there's evidence to back this up. Ive talked to engineers and plasma physicists about this, and they agree. There's a community of scientists that have spent decades researching this, to reshape and grow our understanding of how the universe works as an Electric Universe vs gravitational one. The Thunderbolts Project and Hidden Inca Tours will show you everything for you to see from scientists and historians.

How scared of your own ignorance are you that you will ignore easily verifiable facts about physics in favour of an unprovable theory? You imagine massive lightning bolts from the sun, despite there being no evidence of them, not any sign of them since. You listen to a guy who doesn't understand how gravity works tell you that gravity isn't real.

Go look up some flat earth videos. That's you. That's what you sound like. New paradigm, what a joke. You don't even understand 'the old one'.

Replying to DomesticApe23 (#592,272)

Everything comes down to relative charge. That's why electricity is more powerful than gravity. Gravity doesn't move at the speed of light either. It's not instantaneous. Yet, if the sun's orbit shifted, the affects would be immediate. You cant make a logical argument for gravity, because it's based entirely on hypothetical theory. You cant identify the matter of gravity. It's there, but you can't see it. Just believe. That sounds like a religion, not science. We can measure the electricity that's all around us. Everything has a charge and we exist in an electromagnetic field. The exists in one, that's the Heliosphere. And so on an so forth. That's a fractal. The same from the smallest to the largest, changing only in scale. Which we can predict and measure that electricity is in fact scalable. And that we can prove with anything that produces electricity.

YouTube is by no means a credible source. Unless you provide an actual article that has some semblance of coherence and credibility no one is going to take your claims seriously. Until then you’re either a crazy conspiracy theorist, a troll, or both.

The funny thing is that the fundamental observation that these are similar makes sense. Both currents follow the easiest paths to lower potential energy states. It turns out that looks pretty similar whether it’s electricity or water. I’m not sure how you take it to “rivers must have been formed by electricity” though.

From one of their other comments. It's in that category of "ancient aliens" new age cult revisionist history. The rest of their statements fit that same view, including belief in ancient spacefuturistic human society.

How come you won't accept that it probably WASN'T electricity? Couldn't there be another possibility? Why do you care so much about these formations anyway? Could you not accept just remaining in the dark? Why didn't you Google it when you wondered about the answer? Did someone you trusted tell you about the electricity and you just blindly believed everything they said? Is this person in a field that studies geologic formations? Are the credited or published? Assuming that you are correct, what can someone do to study this electrical phenomenon? Seeing is believing right?
