Y’all are thinking that “ramp denial = climate change denial” means he’s given up on his ramp denial. I personally think it more likely that he subscribes to both and is lamenting that the geniuses who question either ramps or climate change are unfairly treated.

The King o’ Clad doesn’t believe Egyptians knew about ramps or used them in any way to build their structures in the old kingdom (or even the middle or new kingdom). He thinks they used other means to build things like the pyramids. To get more you’d have to go back to his epic thread on building the pyramids and look over his theory, but that’s it, um, in a nut shell.

There’s a whole subculture on the internet who believe Evel Kneivel didn’t use a ramp when he tried to jump the Snake River Canyon.

That’s cause it’s not a canyon. You’ve been duped by a conspiracy. It’s really a mountain.:rolleyes:

Um yeah, it’s Illuminati Mountain. It’s their headquarters…where they breed…lizzard people…:D:p

I just found that thread. Over 2,400 posts overall of which over 800 are from this guy. Amazing.

I thought it was whether or not ancient Egyptians ate wild onions?

Can I just double post to add that I love that he came back to tie up loose ends, like he has to roll over his IRA, or return some library books.

**Moderator Action**

If we take **cladking** at his word, he won’t be back. Since there no longer seems to be any outstanding board issue here, let’s just close this.
