Thanks for all of the comments.
I left a lot of detail out of my OP.
Adding a comment I should have expanded upon:
I first read the Astro thread sometime in say 2017 or 2018. I read it again about a year later (after I had actually began studying this subject for some time) and concluded the piece is the:
- Most unique take I’ve ever heard
- The only one the offers a “realistic” explanation
- Ties it all together.
What really got me was his comment on FTL travel. The idea that light “bends in” and then seems like you have “overlapping images” and then “snap, arrived” make sense to me on further evaluation. Consider that in the FTL travel scenario you’re basically in two places at once for an exceedingly small amount of time. The “in between” moment could look like described.
I spent some time trying to find the mine he referenced. No luck. Very little records were kept that I could find on historical mining operations that would fit the profile as he described.
As my learning evolved I realized more of Astr0’s story could make sense when you contextualize the time frame all of that went on.
I had my “aha!” moment when a documentary on Antarctica that noted Nazi missions sparked my curoiosity in what else the Nazi’s were trying to dig out of the ground. That led me down the rabbit hole of learning more about why they were doing these expeditions. As I read about artifacts and where they went it clicked that we had operation Paperclip… meaning we probably know a bit about not only what they found but why they went - with all the brains in the room to ask questions of thanks to OP.
Given what we know the Nazi’s were up to the “stone” that “switched on” could just as easily have been confiscated from Germany after the war. Astr0 only said where it came from - not how we got it.
Another thing that Astr0’s story sparks in my mind is… is the stone why we pushed for nuclear capability? Russia, Germany, US… all pushing to the same goal. It was a common knowledge. Germany was on their way but couldn’t hold on long enough. Russia got there after we did. We just happened to be “smack dab in the right place at the right time” meaning we had the artifact and popped the first nuke.
On top of that, we had the scientific minds and this new perspective on archeology as a mechanism to enhance defense or technology - which is what I suspect led to the space race, moon missions and simultaneously our push towards mars that has been going for 70 years now.
Never know what you’d find.
