Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me.

Anybody else see a windmill here?


Here is where I found the picture, if you'd like to look further.

These are Egyptian hyrogliphics carved into stone away back in the day. I was doing a google search for something else and ran across this picture, then followed links and so on. I think it's pretty interesting there may have been people thousands of years tinkering in their stone backsheds like us.

Hi Mac

Interesting thought, stone wind mill, stable high inertia object, probably designed and commissioned by a politician.

Here are two more items of interest.


This looks left to right like a city, an antenna, a wind turbine and power
transmission lines to me.


This one actually translates
"Life, stability & Power".

Food for thought.
