No. It just means that banks are looking for ways in which they can manipulate them.
Either that or the person that "commissioned" this study has personal interests (ie. family) in the company that's doing it.

The key failing of the cradle and the (actually extremely similar) pole theory is that it does not explain how they moved the far larger slabs that were not square blocks.
So they could only move 90% of the stones that way...
Yeah I guess that _does_ definitively prove they could never have used them for anything at all. Not.
This is very interesting, and maybe that's good enough. But isn't there some evidence of what method they might have used?
Yes.
There's another fact that this theory ignores: Moving the blocks this way takes wood. Lots and lots of wood.
a) No it doesn't. Wood can be re-used.
b) They brought the stones in on boats, why couldn't they bring the wood as well?
Anyone that actually lived in the middle east knows that sand is everywhere. They simply stacked the blocks while building up a sand pile around it, then eventually dug the sand away again
I think you massively underestimate the amount of sand needed to make a ramp up to something that tall.
Why use rods?
If you're going to strap something to the stones why not use something a bit more rounded that turns them into actual circles?
PS: We know how they did it from paintings on the walls:
If only there was a way to scare birds away from an area...
Oh, wait! Airports have been doing it for decades!!
He was probably given two choices:
Option a: Receive $125000 today, go home, spend it.
Option b: Press charges, spend a fortune on lawyers for several years while they keep appealing (all on the taxpayer's dollar), maybe win, maybe receive some money.
If the cops have the footage, they'll show it.
If there's a mysterious gap in the video? The jury will most likely believe the arrested.
How much battery do you really need though? Give an iPhone 20x the batteries and I bet you could record an officer's entire shift while also live-streaming the video to headquarters over the cellular network for backup, all in a package lighter than their pistol.
Yeah, that'll work. I can imagine the boys in a data center having a chuckle every time the hot policewomen goes to the toilet.
I think they should have every right to turn off their cameras, nobody should be constantly recorded.
OTOH they should expect a full investigation if they do it when they're in action or interacting with the public.
No, I think the issue is "if only such obvious solutions were actually *implemented*", which is something we'll have to force down their throats, because they certainly aren't going to volunteer to give up their ability to be huge bullies.
I'm pretty sure the "huge bullies" in the police force are in the minority (certainly less than half).
This could help weed them out if implemented.
So....maybe we can also implement some sort of system to combat that?
Maybe the cameras could record the 30 seconds prior to being activated.
Recording to RAM doesn't need much power.
Gee, if only there was a way to address that issue.
Like making them pay for repairs out of their wages, fining them for forgetting to wear their camera, etc.
But... I guess there isn't - because Mr. AC says so.
I'm shocked they can't turn them off. They must be able to turn them off to protect the public's privacy.
