“The most compelling evidence for the likelihood that the Great Pyramid was constructed by craftspeople with specialized knowledge and advanced techniques is the precision with which it was built. This precision reveals more about the true nature of its builders than any inscription or cartouche. There is no way to ignore the accuracy of this stonecutting, despite Egyptologists' interpretations of the inscriptions found in pyramids or temples in Egypt. After all, hieroglyphics, like any language, has the potential to be misunderstood.
After discussing much of the preceding information with the artisans at today's building sites, machine shops, and quarry mills, I became aware of the reason why we are still influenced by ideas that are not compatible with practical application. The artisans of today are too busy making a living to give serious thought to scholarly theories, and even when gross inequities are presented to them, they respond with a cynical shrug. When told that giant limestone casing stones, which were cut to within 1/100 of an inch, were cut with hammer and chisel, a typical response was a shake of the head.”

“Only Backward Minority of Earth
(Naskaristana 2543)
Eurocentrism is the biggest fraud in education,
eurocentrism is the antithesis of education.
The only minority that has historically caused
irreparable damage to the world are the white people,
yet you confuse every little mediocre literature
from such backward population as default knowledge -
and by act of conscience if a braveheart white defies
the status quo, you declare them as woke infected.
First sign of an educated mind -
you don't start a conversation
on philosophy mentioning greeks,
you don't start a conversation
on poetry mentioning the english.
White people discovered nothing but other people's land,
other people's science, other people's philosophy -
Europe is the real footnote in the history of knowledge,
till you understand what this means in your bones,
your philosophy is just as fictional as your theology.”
