Talk:Unfinished obelisk

message: Guys we need some sources please. Also what's up with
These claims can never be refuted, because while the obelisk was obviously too much for humans, why couldn't it have been too much for some cocky aliens as well? Aliens aren't, after all, omnipotent.
Frankly the whole paragraph is absurd and needs to be cut. --JJay 17:13, 22 October 2005 (UTC)

message: The damn thing is referenced in the OOPART page, that's the whole reason I wrote it in the first place. The claim is completely ridiculous of course, but the obelisk does appear in a lot of alien encounter literature. Would have been nice if this could be discussed before it was deleted. 24.168.5.223 18:15, 23 October 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: *Sorry. I put the message up yesterday. When there was no response I cut the paragraph. Perhaps I should have waited. Also the OOPART link at the bottom of the page was not working, so I assumed it was a joke. In any case, I think its  a great article. If you can re-add the info, perhaps with a more serious tone and some links or citations, I have no objections. My understanding is that human tools were found with the obelisk though. If you want to revert, i'll then edit the text. Let me know. Thanks. --JJay 18:30, 23 October 2005 (UTC)

message: There have been many people over the times who have been feeling themselves sick when standing or walking over one certain place on the unfinished obelisk. I was told by local Egyptolog it was an earthquake which broke the obelisk and the work was stopped. When standing on it I did not notice anything like that, but had a strange feeling having been there before. Can any other confirm this kind of feeling?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.113.116.245 (talk) 17:30, 24 July 2008 (UTC)

message: One of the two photos currently on the article is reversed. Look at the asymmetric “crack” line that goes up the obelisk. Which one is reversed? The photo should be placed in the correct orientation or replaced with a better image. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Obelisk2.jpg https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Assuan_07.jpg

message: The predynastic lost technology was fire.  The scoop marks are where hot coals were placed on the granite and left to cool.  Then the granite was hit and turned the granite to powdered dust. The resulting scoop MARK is actually how deep the heat went.  It changed the crystalline structure of the red granite.
