Redpill me on Roman dodecahedrons
Things and concepts at the edge of reality — and credulity. The bizarre and the spooky, mysteries, cryptozoology, weird coincidences, aliens, esoteric knowledge, truths with horrific implications, ghosts, and whatever else seems to fit.
these were ancient roman gameboys

Magic. They were tools for magic. But all tools for magic become redundant cultural relics once you learn real magic. You might need tarot for study but you don’t need it for real magic. Same goes for these Roman artifacts.
Lol this is not true. To perform real magic you need a conduit. Why do you think precious metals are precious?
>implying I can't be the conduit
You can’t.
Try to stop her.
You are moronic. Every living creature is a gateway for magical energies.
Go on then. Call down fire from the sky.
Why
To prove you can without a conduit.
Go on. It doesn’t even have to be destructive just have lightning strike a tall building.
Go on.
Why should I feel motivated to do anything for anyone except myself? especially a nameless, faceless nobody on EerieWeb?
Be a lot easier just to say you can’t
>4 A wicked and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given unto it, but the sign of the prophet Jonas. And he left them, and departed.
This isn't exactly about what you two are arguing, but I do think it tends to be good to help one another. That's what I think.
Prove you can do it with a conduit, I will then prove to you that I can stop your magic without a conduit.
>absolute conclusory statement provided without citation
I have knowledge. Just because you don’t does not make it any less accurate.
It seems to me like it's probably for a game
The world really needs a new term to describe the act/phenomenon of "redpilling"
It made sense at the time, but it's just so played out and feels ultimately trapped to property instead of just being a word like any other.
The Grand Design has been stopped before
well stop it again
Women use modern versions of these to sew fingers for gloves. Wouldn’t Roman women use them for similar?
Magical tools usually buried with user.
This. It's not fun but it's probably correct.
Innovation is its own magic.
The one in OP seems kind of big for gloves.
Knitting wasn’t invented for nearly a thousand years after the fall of roman, and experimental reconstruction shows these things aren’t useful for Roman methods
Stupidest thing I’ve ever heard.
I’m sorry you didn’t know that knitting is a technique that exists in time, contingent on material culture, and has not existed for all of human history.
Maybe try doing some research so you don’t have to keep feeling stupid.
>heard
are you using text to speech or something, you blind moron?
my man here is fricking moronic
Just a cool toy
What's so cool about it? Pretty lame toy
Until you plug a copper wire wrapped quartz crystal into it
Is it like an ancient vibrator?
Sure
I haven't penetrated the secrets of this core, but I know that it exists
>look I made an audio loudspeaker 2000 years before they were invented
Impressive
It was used for knitting
It was like a Chinese finger trap but for dongs. Romans, like all Mediterranean cultures, were a bunch of sexually deviant maniacs and one of their strange games was to stick their dicks into this contraption because they were gross greasy Mediterranean perverts
Add a little olive oil and a hole’s a hole.
Imagine when the find the first Fleshlight a thousand years from now. We think they put the batteries in the hole down the center and we think somehow it made the silicone glow. We think they used them in ancient religious rituals. Because everything is used in ancient religious rituals as a rule of thumb of archeology. Archeology is such total bullshit. For all we know Stonehenge was the beer pavillion at the 2917BC World's Fair.
I think you severely underestimate the demands demons make. Everything seems like it was centered around religious rituals because a demon's thirst is never quenched. Yet another reason why we needed Christ when we did. Our collective abandonment of the demons and return to the one True God sapped them of power. For proof of this see how much better life has been in Europe compared to India.
>For proof of this see how much better life has been in Europe compared to India.
Oh yeah I get that. And how shitty it's become since they walked away from it. And we haven't seen the bottom yet.
>For proof of this see how much better life has been in Europe compared to India.
...since the fall of Christendom and the return of the classical gods with the Renaissance and the enthronement of reason with the Enlightenment. Christcucks will implement a new dark age if we let them get away with it fr fr
(Also life in India was pretty opulent until the British East India Company did their thing, you racists always ignore origins and causes)
Pot, meet kettle.
As a religion i can admire christianity. The fundamental insistence on bearing the cross and repenting from sin, really a kind of worship focused on people's relationships with each other, it's a beautiful thing. But then christian society also produces total gays like this. Do you really believe that your pagan ancestors considered racism at all? A year in the life: survive and hunt through an absolutely brutal winter; plant crops; say goodbye to the 3 of 9 of your children that look like they'll survive into adulthood so you can go raid other tribes with the boys; take other people's shit all summer, focus on surviving; come back and harvest with the 2 of 9 children remaining; feast, preserving the rest that you can; go back out hunting game with your son and hope a bear doesn't kill you both.
Does it sound like you would fit in with the society that produced your pagan ancestors? At worst, assuming you survived to adulthood, you would be exiled and killed by exposure. At best they would end your suffering fast, tie you to a tree and let your blood sate the mother.
I admire christianity, I really do, but what am I supposed to make of a society and a religion that churns out absolute pathetic twats like this that turn around and call someone else a cuck?
>Stonehenge was the beer pavillion at the 2917BC World's Fair.
Archeology is not bullshit, it does the best it can with what it has. We'd know a whole lot more about the world if Christtards had not destroyed everything that they deemed heretical. THANK YOU JESUS, YOU RAT BASTARD
>We'd know a whole lot more about the world if Christtards had not destroyed everything that they deemed heretical.
Like what for example?
>reeeeee everything!!!!
It's all the same story anyway. What you're complaining about is not having the demon's point of view. Sorry if I don't lose any sleep over that, homosexual.
Ironically to your claims, the religous ones are much more in tune to the reality of the world and its history than those which outright deny scripture.
tbf the xtians burned a lot of knowledge and tried to bury their own esoteric beginnings
I wish I could know more (for sure) about my old Irish family. Our records indicate the family likely would have been involved in druid business, if not druids themselves.
But that was a long time ago, and the oral histories got lost. Anything written was destroyed or lost
it might have been cool
>dodecahedrons
Probably not an /x/ thread, but.
It was an engineering tool , of course. Pretty complex too.
Me again.
>dodecahedrons
Interesting enough object because clearly there are several 100 of those found.
Object for the banned by TPTB technology - the Sound.
Looks like a camertone or Tuning fork with numerous wave lengths.
Here's how I'd imagine it to work.
You put it on a horizontal plane, say stone based.
And then you move it around and rotate. Until you get a sound or a tune.

All were found in colder regions and they figured out that it was a device to make gloves, they even made a pair in the documentary about "odd" finds...saw it a few months ago...cant remember name of doc though.
This is wrong. Similar modern objects can be used to make gloves, but that is 100% not what these ones were for, as their design is incompatible with Roman craft techniques
just a coincidental resemblance
I am pretty sure these were just masterpieces of metalurgy masters. Like graduation pieces. "look what I can do with metal" kinda thing.
For making gloves.
>knitted gloves
No. Too early.
Maybe, this is closer to the likely answer.
These were somewhat rare, associated with the northwestern part of the empire and are affiliated with military encampments. They could be something to do with counting/money, a portfolio piece as you suggest, or serve as another kind of tool.
My favorite hypothesis is they were a range finding tool for artillery. The Romans loved their light catapults and ballistae, especially when and where these tend to be found. I'm not 100% on this hypothesis but it's testable.
Another thought going with rangefinding. They could be for laying out building and fortification locations, similar to how we use a surveyor's transit now.
>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Platonic_solid
Notice that Icosohedra have also been found at these sites, and read the Timaeus of Plato. Then marvel that the various "theories" the media highlights never touch on this.
The top two are for gloves they even have a thumb sized hole, bottom right is who knows
That was sealing in the antichrist.
Thanks archeologists
They were used to knit or stitch or weave up glove fingers out of tough materials for battle. (See the different sized holes) People still use them same ones (but made out of plastic or nylon) for making glove fingers today.
After they were done making gloves for everyone, they would fill them up with Roman fire putty and launch at enemies
