All good, Moz.
Enjoy the warmer weather and watch out for the gators on the greens

...Rooi
I'm waiting for you to explain what's here using the "many slaves and much time" hypothesis.

No, humans...and probably science/methods we haven't discovered yet.
What are your thoughts, Rooi?
I mean clearly masses of slaves, time, and cruelty, don't create extreme precision.
I don't know much about Atlantis, other than it was supposed to be an Advanced city that was destroyed by a cataclysm. There was a cataclysm 12,000 years ago, that much is indisputable at this point. And then objects like these vases provide evidence of advancement far beyond what we imagined was possible thousands of years ago and have only been able to replicate for less than the last 100 years.
To put it into perspective, we cannot create those levels of precision today without the use of computer guided manchining.
Doesn't that bring the idea of a place like Atlantis, or something similar, closer to reality?
I mean, the current idea of how this stuff was made is that people sculpted the objects using copper chisels.
Then you might say they didn't use chisels...they used some kind of primitive turning.
The problem there being that the wear on a turning machine built from wood, or any soft metal, would almost instantly cause deviations far, like very far, outside of those on display in the video above.
Consider that when you build a lathe or measuring device...the precision going into the building of it has to be greater than the precision of the objects you hope to create with it.
Meaning, whatever was used to create these vases...that machine had to be precisely built to within thousands of a millimetre.
Crazy, no?
