Look, I haven't mentioned Zeus, Buddah, or some religion.

Quote from: Icarus on May 08, 2024, 01:42:33 AMWhat one believes to be true has nothing to do with reality but to that person his/her truth is indisputable. We can easily observe that reality within the realm of politics and religion.
Quote from: Icarus on May 08, 2024, 01:42:33 AMI presume, respectfully, that Me_Be is a well educated Brit who may have been sufficiently insulated from the behaviors and mind sets of the common man.
Quote from: Icarus on May 08, 2024, 01:42:33 AMTry the American MAGA person or the deeply religious ones. They are conditioned to fight you, perhaps even kill you, for doubting or disputing their closely held beliefs. That is absolutely true even if their beliefs are based on absurdity as they often are..

Quote from: Recusant on May 08, 2024, 03:49:41 AMI don't think the "knitting tool" hypothesis is conclusive. Some of those dodecahedrons are only about 4 centimeters tall (1.5 inches). Seems unlikely that they were knitting gloves for infants (or toddlers for that matter). Some of them are made of stone and solid as well--would not work for the purpose. Then there are the smaller versions made of gold that were found in Asia.
Similarly enigmatic ancient objects: the carved stone balls from the British Isles.
