By the bye, I had a thought about this long long ago, but didn't state it earlier. Lest the bitter discussions "repeat". I kindly request not to discuss it with me. I have a fixed opinion about its probability, and unless you're a genius or you can falsify me with facts, it will not change. Scientific "facts" are always debatable. I mean like a proving that this image is fake.

My thought is/was, the formulae of such a thing might have been hidden or might not have been shared with the scientists. The reason for this could be to prevent some real danger. A praying mantis of this size could easily kill humans. Even grasshoppers can do that, if somehow they could have the same movement abilities with their tiny/normal kind.

I really am a man of science in principle, but the world is not as it is shown to us.

I still think that this is likely fake, but could be real still.

Telephone Tower in Stockholm, Sweden before they figured out the whole switching network thing: 5000 lines - 1890.

Nope. I also haven't read any "sorcery books" in my life. It might seem ironic. LOL

I Google-searched that "exhibit", there appeared big statues on my screen. The fish image I shared is likely a small pendant. I really wasn't aware that such micro-craft could be done so masterfully around those years. It could be my ignorance though.

Of course there are always occulted rules of the universe so i would never say never, just highly unlikely.

This pendant... It says from B.C. Was such craftsmanship possible then? I was quite surprised BTW, and I still have doubts if this awesome craft is that ancient.

Here's the info written ablout it: Fish Pendant ca. 1878-1749 B.C. Middle Kingdom- From Egypt, Haraga, Cemetery A, Tomb 72

Here's the source: https://twitter.com/SumerianHittite/status/1412440063246491658

And here's the image:

You won! Clap

But try using your reason next time for having an insight on how science is improving. You're at least lucky not to be in a period when people like you were "sure" that the earth was flat. Wink

@Friede

My final words to you in this discussion (please gracefully transfer it to our probable prospective discussions too): Either begin playing chess again, or leave me alone. Your "habit" obviously hasn't died, but I don't have to play "chess" with you. And I'll not, again.

There are electronic devices to measure octaves. There are already people with 8 or 9 octaves. PROVEN. But singing beautifully with more than 7 octaves is probably a unique phenomenon.

So, you still claim that you admit some things... Ludicrous.

AS I SAID, DON'T TRUST IN WIKIPEDIA. He has performances where he used voices from the 1st octave. It is getting annoying...

As already said, even G8 makes it 6 octaves only.

As to ten octaves being possible: A flat no. You would have to sing outside of human hearing range for that. Only bats could hear you. You actually remind me of a guy that once tried to tell me a tale about something being -5000° Celsius cold until I politely pointed out that it can't get any colder than -273.15°C.

Nope. I checked all his notes via a piano simulation. his G8 is out of the piano range. I had to check it "differently". His voice is, as far as I remember, 2 full notes below 8 octaves. I believe he must have surpassed it by now.
