 		[SPEC] Interesting Ancient Possibilites
From http://www.s8int.com/sophis1.html :

Quote:
The scientific journals Nature (London,1886) and L'Astronomie (Paris,1887) published confirmation that in 1886, in the foundry of the Austrian Isador Braun of Vocklabruck, a block of coal dating from the Tertiary period was broken open.

A small metal cube was discovered inside. Tests indicated that the cube was composed of a steel-nickel alloy. It measured 2.64 by 2.64 by 1.85 inches, weighed 1.73 pounds, and had a specific gravity of 7.75.

The edges of this ancient cube were perfectly straight and sharp; four of its sides were flat, while the two remaining opposite sides were convex. A deep groove had been cut all the way around the cube. It appeared that the cube had been machine made and was part of a larger mechanism.

It was perhaps with uncanny insight that historian Will Durant wrote, "Immense volumes have been written to expound our knowledge, and conceal our ignorance, of primitive man...primitive cultures were not necessarily the ancestors of our own; for all we know they may be the degenerate remnants of higher cultures..."


Could we be the ancestors of those in Perplex City? Or vice versa? There seems to be an awful lot having to do with our cultures in this new video.

Could the cube be part of a larger machine? Is the cube itself powerful, or only when fitted with the proper devices?

More questions than answers, but another way to look at the situation. I'm certain the website is out of game.

 		The one I listed at the beginning, where the quoted text was taken from.

 		Wild spec, but interesting.

The video seems to lead on more that they are from an alternate reality/universe, citing that we are really similar, that we just surprise them with some of the drastically different approaches we take to things because of our cultural backgrounds.
