Ancient megalithic ruins from around the world

Chinese whispers - Wikipedia
Players form a line or circle, and the first player comes up with a message and whispers it to the ear of the second person in the line. The second player repeats the message to the third player, and so on. When the last player is reached, they announce the message they heard to the entire group. The first person then compares the original message with the final version. Although the objective is to pass around the message without it becoming garbled along the way, part of the enjoyment is that, regardless, this usually ends up happening. Errors typically accumulate in the retellings

No, I don't think so. Like someone mentioned earlier...people back then had a lot of time, might be hard for some people today to think about not having TV and internet. In those times you weren't just going to sit around your hut all day and day dream...esp if you're a slave, which a lot of them were

That's a good point.

I also consider the amount of time it would have taken to learn the skills through trial and error and then "perfecting" them.

The development of hand tools is how the recovered populations were able to carve softer stone.

They still didn't have the tech for polygonal walls with metal clamps.

They kind off look like lifting lugs

Doesn't make sense when you look at how all these civilizations severely downgraded.

Has anyone brought reparations for the descendants of ancient slaves?

Iran:

Persepolis

decorated bull

India:

mahabaleshwar

Decorated bull

Nandi statue (decorated bull) at another temple

Notice the same construction technique with the square cut outs on the elephant in India and the bull in Iran?

Ask yourself why they stopped when hand tools became better and there were more slaves available?

Why didn't the Romans go back to the more impressive and earthquake proof ways of construction?

The collapse of their civilizations probably had something to do with it.

Persepolis is an interesting site similar to gateways in Puma Punku in Bolivia

Yes the globally connected ancient civilization was wiped out by a cataclysmic event. The high heat damage at all these places proves it.

It makes perfect sense for primitive people to put them that high off the ground.

Turkey :

Fethiye

Iran :

Arataxerxes

Saudi Arabia:
Madain Saleh

 

[Social Warlord]

Apparently these are from China

Han dynasty "tombs"

Saudi Arabia:

Dadan

Israel:

Kidron Valley

Turkey:
fethiye

These look like they were sealed and smashed open. Question is how do you seal it like that?

India:
Similar style in India:
Nashik

Massive granite doors

India:

Jordan:
Massive granite doors at Qasr al-Azraq

Notice the polygonal stone work above it? It was found ruined and repurposed into a castle.

Doors Made of Stone in Irbid

Umm Qais

These might be basalt

Egypt:
If you look at the corner of this box you can see the hole where the door would have been placed.

Just found this:
Han Dynasty tombs discovered in east China - The Archaeology News Network

Stone doors:

Is it possible these structures were used to generate electricity and create portals to another dimension?

Yes it is.

Huge if true:

Wouldn't be surprised if there was a buried pyramid in Bosnia.

Or maybe they were just sources for wireless energy. Or maybe both.

You might be one of my new favorite posters, bud.

Meh.. not all that impressive when you put it next to Michaelangelo’s works..

And he wasn’t a super advanced alien from some other worldly civilization. He was just a simple Ninja Turtle with some talent.

It was soft marble and this is in the 1500s. With today's technology we can replicate a lot of that stuff from the ancient past but it wouldn't be practical.

Can't be denied that the ancient globally connected civilizations were using the same techniques and had similar styles.

Compare that to the polished basalt/granite.

Invasions , migrations, religious conversions , enviromental change all lead to civilizations collapsing or withering away. You can't be at the zenith forever .
