Nova: Building Pharaoh's Ship (2010)
Flax "Linen" AND "Boat Worms" Teredo Navalis = Northern Coast of East Atlantic Continental Europe
About 37 minutes remaining.
"Really a very complex puzzle." -- the complex.. is a "mental complex" or "block in your head" that starts from slot car model experience and refuses to basis of your boat on the Pharaoh's real world existing boat.
"Since no one has built a ship like this in thousands of years." ~ No one ever built a ship anything like what you designed. It is not based on any historical evidence of comprehension. Not only did you not make a scale replica of one of the 5 ships that exit from Giza. This thing old people test in young people called reading comprehension. You two put zig/\zags in the wood like 2nd graders, with no notion that they are stop-points or notches to keep the planks from stretching apart the ropes holding them together. From the pictures of rope and notches in 5 seconds of film in this video I figured out the purpose of notches = stops at the working load limit of rope (Not the break limit, "working load" is ratios less, and it being a wet unsealed boarded the ropes will be multitudes stronger and swell tighter on the boards) mix in some ballast and stick to the flatter hull design of the real world existing examples.
About 35 minutes remaining.
"They did not bend wood. They carved it, just like a statue." -- Where does this profane woman get the idea they do not bend wood? Did she not see with her own eyes that Khufu Cheops is clearly a bent plank boat made 2,000-3,000 BC? On what stupidity does she Titanic this boat as not being allowed to flex?
"They've got to attach it together in a completely different way from, modern boats." – They've got to attach it together in a completely different way than, the ancient boats too!! Where is there a dead fish spine type keel in Giza? You are making a dead- turtle-shell as the spine of your boat. In no way is this like any Pharaoh's boat. You are using the fresh water boat designs of Europe that sank and tipped over in rapids and oceans.
About 33 minutes remains. It looks exactly like modern rope. "About 38 Hundred years ago."
Hopeless.. Why is the rope being shown, not the rope that was in the pits of Giza with the 5 boats they found buried next to the pyramids? From the looks of it, at least based on the anchors, then I would be guessing 800 AD to 1800AD from small net fishing dingy to large merchant ship, based on the difference in anchor sizes possibly European like the ones in Florida by the Spanish. -- Do you have carbon dating? With so many samples it would be forgivable for a single glass slide to be carbon dated. Why are you just smiling and saying it looks modern, but is
You do understand the caves are not of the same design and skill set as the hieroglyphs on a stone outside of them. – If the caves were not sealed, then it is impossible that the sea mist did not destroy them in 1,000 years.
"A pile of Wooden Crates
." – so you
. You've never heard of grave robbers
. And seem to think wooden crates
. Well have you ever seen a wooden crate in a pyramid that was not the property of a thief stealing and selling history, usually to people who were once Vatican Faith church goers?
Kathryn Bard
Boston "Vatican" Massachusetts
An inscription on a "box" (not a "Crate" as mentioned before). "The wonderful things of punt." You do understand
.that looks like stone, not wood
.and why would you think ONLY People from Britain, can read and write in English? There is not logic to a celebratory etching, except for someone who stole the pharaohs punt treasures to sell over sea's. Find out where those ropes were grown. Get plant DNA and you MAY find your exporter/thief. The locations tells you some-one was robbing Luxor from this point so that they did not pass by the people in Cairo and the Government of Egypt. We just moved to a time after the French Napoleon chronicles of the wealth in Egypt, a time when European Grave Raiders must have used this coast for smuggling. About 32 minutes remaining. Hatshepsut "successfully gathered" them from Poont/Punt
. Successfully gathered
. Yet, they are WHERE? Again is no one aware the Vatican faithful are thieves?
About 30 minutes remaining. So you found the remains of an ocean going ship that stranded the smugglers. And for some reason assumes the smuggler's ships were of Egypt Design or Construction? See many tree near that beach did you? -- Have you bothered to identify the species of wood or compared the growth rings to the rain patterns of Europe port cities and boats? So you drew a wedge on top of a picture that was not there?
"
.Khufu River Boat
."?? Who the hell makes a 146 foot river boat? Have you tried sailing a 16-28 foot boat around the bends most rivers have? And yet, you seem to think a 146 foot Yacht is a river boat?
"Intent on following the evidence
." of a European boat hull crashed and stranded with its smugglers on the shore of Egypt?
The Neighbors (2012)
Great Premise, Well Worth Any Network Giving It A Third Go!
The Neighbors is a premise people need. The cast is very funny cast. All of them. The writers though very talented met their limits at how to create such an amazing and different take on concepts we are all somehow familiar with in a fresh view. (Mork & Mindy, Perfect Strangers, ALF, Third Rock, Thirty Rock, My Teacher is an Alien adventure books, an aisle of movies, plus Kyle XY.)
1. The Fastfood & Coffee Shop jobs should only be a few episodes. ~ When I left an office job to make a sudden move to a major city, the work I wanted did not happen in the first month, so at the end of that month I started 3 Jobs at the same time. Local Aliens aren't lazy. They are hard working. McDonalds (Breakfast shift), Applebee's (Lunch and Dinner, Serving/Trucking/Prep/Dishes, but only for no-shows and with dinner), and at a Movie Theater (Every Thursday, from 10am-12pm). ~ I then became a traveling Apprentice Plumber, then an Electrician, and Went back to College after that. Two previous times in my life I have worked 80- 90Hours a week, once for a Month (2Bookstores, one on campus, the other BooksAMillion; and the third job at a Fish place) and another for 6 Months waiting for medical benefits to activate at the new job before quitting the first. Model Aliens after Foreign Nationals and our own American people who know how to work when they don't have money. Asia is filled with people who borrow money and because of Yakuza or Loan Sharks work hard to pay it back rather than go bankrupt because real physical harm might happen.
2. Celestial ordained love should win. ~ Don't conform enjoy arranged marriage, it is a hell of a lot less taxing on both the emotions and the wallet, with a much lower divorce rate! They are aliens, so quit selling the American myth of struggling for love and being single as you roam the earth to find your other half. Study Census.gov sometime. The Bible states who ban getting married until after 18, and shun arranged marriages, are also the US States with the highest teen 15-19 pregnancy rates. Except for Utah. The Mormons are doing something right. http://www.livescience.com/5728-teen-birth-rates-higher-highly- religious-states.html
3. If you can't follow others, and have personality strength, you should find a way to lead yourself.
4. Being your own boss is the most surprising adventure life has to offer.
Here is what I wrote to ABC. ~ http://abc.go.com/feedback
The Neighbors should be saved and get some advertising. This Show can really grow. The lyrics to the theme song need to be changed. Some really funny ideas or insightful ideas get written into every show. But there needs to be writers with a social view where smart people don't get stuck doing fast food jobs for more than college. The Aliens residents should be more capable and insightful like international student aliens. Even if the show were riffing the yuppy think they know it all people in the service industry, those people still have some amazing conversations. And this show totally misses the political and social order angle of the lifestyle it mocks.
The writers should revisit the entrepreneurial aspect and place the family on a track of success, relating to running your own business where they learn about how to be successful as business owners. People who work for themselves are a little nutty and desperate to succeed. So the writers will never run out of material.
