Star fortresses only became common after the invention of cannon artillery. That's exceedingly modern for this type of nonsense.

These types are obsessed with star fortresses for reasons I can't begin to comprehend, but they all think they're ancient.
They do look cool tho
Oh yeah, they're very cool. But the real story of them is interesting enough, so making up a new story is stupid.
They feel ancient for those born yesterday…
for reasons I can’t begin to comprehend
Maybe 'cause they're star-shaped?
i love 'melon glands'... feels like great slang for 'breasts'
I'm feeling really melon collie about this.
Infinitely Sad?
Not since 1979
I wonder how many people will get the reference-
I can't tell if that's Jeff Goldblum or Rick Moranis, and it's pickling my brain 🤯
Eddie Deezen actually.
Probably most famous for his minor role in Wargames.
Although nowadays he's getting better known for being a creep in real life.
I think something snapped in him. He's had multiple charges against him for multiple incidents and he sounds like he's seriously mentally ill. The fact that he's a Scientologist doesn't help.
Yeah, I loved Eddie Deezen back then, but he probably belongs in some sort of long-term psychiatric care.
Looks like Liev Schreiber's weird nerdy uncle, to my untrained eyes.

That's the only reason anyone's in the comment section.
Speak for yourself. I was here for the "Acktyually star forts are pretty modern" comment, which I would've posted if that guy hadn't.
Star forts existing despite their expensive construction because they are superior to other fort designs in the age of gunpowder due to their overlapping zones of fire and safe zones for defenders? No! Clearly its because we have aquatic ancestors with melon glands and long skulls that bread us into slaves by removing said melon glands! And we hid their skulls there! In some of the most interesting and eye catching structures to see! You know, to not draw attention to them!

/s just in case it wasn't obvious
I legitimately do not get the logic here.

I'm never not going to post this glorious video from Folding Ideas about Flat Earthers. It's a tranquil and thoughtful examination of the evidence of Earth's curvature in act one that is actually very beautifully done. The second act is about how people get pulled into these ways of thinking and how it never has anything to do with a logical position.
People do not have reasonable, rational brains. They have brains designed to explain your feelings. Whenever you feel something, physical or emotional, your brain writes a story to figure out how it happened. Sometimes the stories make sense because we can connect events in a logical way. When emotional states become disordered or compromised the brain can become very lost and it will start pulling together more and more stories to explain a feeling that just won't go away. This is how people get attached to conspiracy theories and ideas that the universe is not what it seems. This is why otherwise smart people like doctors and nurses can become anti-vaxxers or how some scientists flip to climate change denial or other radical beliefs.
We are not a rational or logical species, we are a species that tell stories because we are overflowing with feelings.
the fuck is a melon gland
I think they’re what powers flux capacitors
The only thing that I can think that they are possibly talking about is this...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Melon_(cetacean)
Which, I guess, means we used to be sperm whales?
Or maybe these missing human alien species used to secrete melons
So they're finally going for the buildings made by Europeans calling them impossible and made by aliens, we've gone full circle now.
Especially since star forts are such a recent development. They are not some mysterious ancient ruins, we literally still have the blueprints from the people planning them.
And the evolution of those blueprints! With commentary!
Oof, evolution. That word alone makes it hard to grasp for these nutjobs.
To be fair, the page is called Unbelievable History. It truly is unbelievable.
mmmm... melon glaaaands
You really need a good melon gland baller to get the best of the gland.

This guy wants a word with you.
My thoughts dwell on your mother!
“Unbelievable History”
Yeah… that sums it up pretty well.
There was some culture about elongating children' heads in south America. What was it again?
It's a practice that's potentially older than our species and nearly as wide-ranging. I think there were several Mesoamerican cultures that performed it. Such things were occasionally practiced in western Europe as late as the early 1900s.
why would this be covered up if it was true
It's always a coverup with these people.
I mean it literally has to be, the whole point of uncovering some conspiracy is to find evidence that the world is not what it seems, this allows one to embrace the stories their brains write to explain why they're constantly anxious, depressed, hopeless or scared. Conspiracism is a response to emotional states, and in fact most of our beliefs and experience of the world is guided by our emotional states, it's just that most of the time we can connect together narratives that we can all agree on. Sometimes people split off and decide to start agreeing on new things because they think some hidden truth is the real reason why they're miserable.
Did you know? Skyscrapers were built by atlantideans, those impossible structures of steel and glass don't follow the laws of physics.
You're right. I don't believe it.
They're absolutely right. I don't believe this.
Mebs!
what are the skulls actually from then?? like not saying the theory is true, but are these actual human skulls?? what time period?
