Plum my first reaction was, if something seems impossible it probably is. The images in your post looked far too unweathered to represent reality….Is it a modern fake? But the carbon dating and the weathering evident in the video dispelled this.
Secondly one wondered, could it be a huge coincidence. Maybe the body curvature represent some efficient boundary for the vessel, which just happened to align with the formula. But the lip dimensions, again neatly mathematical, can’t have had overwhelming purpose.
So that raises the ancient CAD/CAM possibility. If these people have done their work right one is drawn to that conclusion. But how to get further proof.
If indeed this is CAD/CAM one would guess there must have been many examples made. Find other examples and the hypothesis of ancient capability is supported. If they can’t be found the mystery becomes compelling in a different way.
One last area to explore might be the dimensions of the block out of which this was carved, are they random, or is the block itself of interest. Cool stuff.
These comments on are interesting:
‘The creators of this object inscribed ?? to perfection at the microscopic scale, in one of the hardest and most difficult materials to work with. I remain doubtful, that it would even be possible to replicate this result with modern CNC machinery.’
In view of:
The earliest written approximations of ? are found in Babylon and Egypt, both within one percent of the true value. In Babylon, a clay tablet dated 1900–1600 BC has a geometrical statement that, by implication, treats ? as 25/8 = 3.125.[41] In Egypt, the Rhind Papyrus, dated around 1650 BC but copied from a document dated to 1850 BC, has a formula for the area of a circle that treats ? as
So they were exactly replicating pi, 5000 years ago, whereas the earliest approximations inEgypt were in 1600 BC.
This can only mean one thing.
There must have been an alien superspecies living on earth so long ago that they either left the exact same fossils as early hominids or else all their special fossils are buried under what used to be Atlantis and is now somewhere deep under the Atlantic ocean . . . and these special beings with superior intellect were all mysteriously killed off . . . probably by some vaccine developed by naughty globalists of the time . . . or something like that.
Right? That is what we're saying here isn't it?
Is it?
Ummmm . . . aren't we saying this vase was constructed before we were supposed to be capable of constructing it?
Yes? No?
Must add - despite my obvious skepticism - the original link that ButtPlug posted is a very well presented argument even if I readily admit I don't understand much of the maths.
I especially liked the signoff: "In the scientific endeavour, all theories are provisional, and must yield when a simpler one, that better fits the evidence, can be constructed. If this fundamental tenet ceases to hold primacy, science ceases to be science, and instead degrades into dogma."
Couldn't agree more.
It is an incredible vase!
Yes to that….no to your silly rant about Atlantis.
Silly rant? What's the alternative? What's a better explanation than my silly rant?
These guys are saying that it's impossible for this vase to have been constructed without a sophisticated computer.
Right?
The most common explanation for an extinct civilization capable of using computers is the legend of Atlantis.
Right?
So why is it a silly rant, smartypants? What is your alternative? What are you bringing to the table?
Don't be vague and evasive now . . .
"Where does that leave us? With a mystery that should be fully explored or debunked if something isn’t right."
Vague and evasive.
It's a yes or no question. Do you believe a computer (or "turing machine of considerable sophistication") was required to produce that vase or don't you?
If you do, please provide a supporting thesis that is better known or more respected than Atlantis. Thanks.
I don’t believe anything about the creation of the vase, other than it doesn’t square with known technological developments. If you want to attribute it to Atlantis, go ahead, I can neither prove nor disprove your claim.
