I agree that there are a lot of things that we can't explain about ancient mega structures, but since reading Graham Hancock's books, I do think that there have been civilizations a lot earlier than mainstream archaeologists are willing to admit to. There are so many things we can't replicate, even with today's technology, such as the pyramids and Baalbek.
Well when I really think about how mainstream historians say how ancient peoples built these ancient megalithic structures, I have to laugh...
1.) Let's spend every single day, over the next 25 years...
2.) Carving out... Not just ONE, but THOUSANDS... of multi-Ton Blocks from this quarry...
3.) And we will move them to a construction site, over a hundred miles away, across rivers and over rocky terrain...
4.) And we will need to use trees as rollers to move them, which probably will be crushed from the weight of the Blocks...
5.) And we will have to have the tree rollers brought to any altitude where trees don't grow...
6.) And then we will need to build a ramp, that rivals the project of building a pyramid itself, just to get the blocks up to the top of the construction site...
7.) And then we will need to lift these blocks into their final, perfect position...
8.) By having an entire community of people and their livestock pulling on just ONE block...
9.) Using primitive ropes and wooden pulleys which can't take the strain...
And
10.) EACH block may still need a final carving, to get it into the perfect shape, so there won't be any gaps between the stones...
11.) All with the use of stone age tools. (Okay, perhaps Bronze Age, but they are not really up to the enormous task either)
And people think the "Alien" Theory is nonsense...
Clearly, some unknown ancient tools or ancient knowledge was used back then, that was lost to history, And it had to come from somewhere...
By the way, I don't rule out that our planet was visited by 'aliens', I just don't agree that they are the only answer to the puzzles of the past.
That's about were I am on the subject.
As I tried to imply, I wish the show would take a more balanced approach to the material they present on the show and just say something like this:
"We have found no evidence that the local people were capable of building these monuments based on the tools and techniques that we believe were available to them at the time, and so, something alien (lowercase "A") must have been involved here. Could it Be Extra-Terrestrials? Quite possibly, and these are the reasons why we think so..."
Interestingly... One of the statements that the show has made on several occasions, that I find quite interesting, is when they claim A leader of a culture says "That his people did not build it... It was the Gods that built it!"...
WTF?
If my people spent 25 years building a Pyramid, I would certainly give my people credit for it...
So why would anyone say that the "Gods" built it?
But clearly, if true, these "Gods" were more advanced than they were. So who were they?
