Thanks for following me. Love your moniker. Before I gave up all meta products, I had a facebook alias as Zsa Zsa La Launderette. She was running my local Launderette and posting about the customers.

There is a lot of evidence that the pyramids were originaly built for irrigation, though primarily as a source of energy from the atmosphere. The Tesla tower in early 1900s USA worked in the same way.

Yes. I could send you some (how?) but you could look it up on an image search I expect. Cant remember name of the man who got the water up into the hill top town in around year 1200 using pressure chambers I imagine but it looks like the water flowed uphill. mean to research myself.

Was in Perugia recently. They have an ancient water conduit system which involved getting water UP into the hilltop town. Some coduit remains as a footpath and a pleasant walk.

After the Trump whitehouse insurrection I posted the following question on Facebook. "Is Trump the most dangerous politician in a western democracy since the second world war? Facebook suspended my account for one month. I never went back and have boycotted all Meta products ever since.
