Ancient megalithic ruins from around the world

What makes you think the Akkadians were primitive and weren't Sumerized just like how the Germanic tribes were Romanized?

The Sumerians were/are considered the first civilization. When Akkadians colonized Sumer, they hadn't built any civilization or created a script.

They were Minoanized and had the technology to sail to Crete


https://www.britannica.com/topic/Minoan-civilization
By about 1580 BCE Minoan civilization began to spread across the Aegean to neighbouring islands and to the mainland of Greece. Minoan cultural influence was reflected in the Mycenean culture of the mainland, which began to spread throughout the Aegean about 1500 BCE.

By the middle of the 15th century the palace culture on Crete was destroyed by conquerors from the mainland.

I assume you are referring to the Mycenaens and Greeks ? If so the Mycenaens took over Minoan civilization and then the Greeks took over from them. Minoans went extinct as a result. Ofcourse Minoans would have mixed with the Mycenaens and the later would have adopted Minoan technology and knowledge but that doesn't change the fact the Minoans went extinct because they were taken over by the technologically far less advanced Mycenaens.

Those cultures that invaded Egypt weren't primitive.

They were primitve compared to Ancient Egypt. They were far less advanced.

The Mongols were tacticians and the Mongol bow was better than the Manchu bow. Horse archers dominated the battle field.

Mongols were good horsemen and the stirrup allowed them to shoot while riding. But from a technological and civilizational standpoint Chinese civilization was far more advanced.

What makes you think the Aztec weren't Tolecinized? The Toltec were inspired by what they found. Those megalithic statues in Mexico are holding that "hand bag".

These weren't primitive groups of incompetent uncivilized people.

No one wiped out the megalithic builders.

Toltec ceased exsisting after Aztec conquest and Toltec history was burned by the Aztecs. Aztecs assimilated some Toltecs.

Some of the cultures that made the megalithic structures were wiped out. Wiped out does not mean Nazi like mass killing, it can also include forced assimilation, coerced assimilation and slowing erazing the identity of a people such that they no longer exsist as a distinct people. This is why Jews take a very dim view of Christians trying to convert them, because they know mass conversion leads to gradual extinction.[/QUOTE]

Most things in the ancient world were created with two main things: unlimited time and mass labor (at times slave labor)

They were Sumerized

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Akkadian_language
It is the earliest attested Semitic language. It used the cuneiform script, which was originally used to write the unrelated, and also extinct, Sumerian (which is a language isolate). Akkadian is named after the city of Akkad, a major centre of Mesopotamian civilization during the Akkadian Empire (c. 2334–2154 BCE). The mutual influence between Sumerian and Akkadian had led scholars to describe the languages as a Sprachbund.


https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Akkad_(city)


Like I said, they were Minoanized. The Minoans weren't taken over by a technologically far less advanced people. The Myceneans were advanced, especially when it came to war.

https://www.greecehighdefinition.com/blog/minoans-mycenaeans-comparison-civilisations
The Mycenaeans had fortifications so large around most of the centres which were called 'Cyclopean', with the most outstanding being at Mycenae and Tiryns. However, they are not found at the site of the Palace of Nestor at Pylos. The grand centres of the Minoans did not have any type of fortifications, potentially due to different threats.

The Minoans and Mycenaeans shared facets of their cultures with each other, however due to the Minoans being present on Crete earlier than the Mycenaeans on mainland Greece, the Minoans had a greater influence on the Mycenaeans, rather than the other way around. They had a preference with trading with each other, and the Mycenaeans chose to be buried with a great number of Mycenaean (Edit: probably meant Minoan) crafts, and adopted many of their iconographic motifs.

Mongols had better tactics.





They were Toltecinized
https://www.worldhistory.org/Toltec_Civilization/#:~:text=Continuing the Mesoamerican heritage left,even claiming descent from them.
Continuing the Mesoamerican heritage left to them by earlier cultures, the Toltecs built an impressive capital at Tollan. Ultimately, they passed on that heritage to civilizations such as the Aztecs, who regarded the Toltecs as a great and prosperous civilization, even claiming descent from them.


They were all pretty much on par with each other.

The cataclysmic event wiped out the megalithic builders.

The evidence in this thread destroys (pun intended) that assertion.

Fortifications of Mycenae - Wikipedia

They discovered and repurposed.

They weren't Sumerized, because if they were they would have spoken Sumeria instead of Akkadian and later Semitic languages. The Sumerians got assimilated into Akkadian and later Semitic cultures

Like I said, they were Minoanized. The Minoans weren't taken over by a technologically far less advanced people. The Myceneans were advanced, especially when it came to war. Mycenaens were technologically inferior to the Minoans when it came to civilization building. They were better at warfare, but that doesn't mean they were more advanced.

Again they weren't Minoanized, because Minoan went extinct. The Minoans got Mycenaenized. Like how Amerindians in Mexico who mixed with Spanish and abandoned their indegenous languages got Hispanicized.

Those cultures that invaded Egypt weren't far less advanced. You're ignoring the evidence in this thread.

None of those cultures built a civilization as advanced as Egypt when Egypt did it. The Greeks learned a lot from the Egyptians. The Nubians emulated the Egyptians.

Mongols had better tactics.

Mongols were better at waging war, not better at building a civilization.

The cataclysmic event wiped out the megalithic builders.

Again, as with the other cultures, the Aztecs were just better at waging war, other MesoAmerican cultures built civilizations before the Aztecs.

There is no proof for a global cataclysmic flood wiping out all the old civilizations. The reason lots of cultures have flood stories is because lots of places expereinced flooding. It could also be remmemberance of the thawing of the last ice age and subsequent rise in water levesl, flooding some regions.

They were Sumerized. The Germanic tribes that were Romanized still spoke their native language.

We're talking about lesser groups becoming influenced by the larger civilization and eventually being pretty much on par with them. That's what's happening here. Not a bunch of primitive dumbed down savages using primitive weapons and brute strength.


What was far more advanced about the Egyptian civilization that made everyone else so incredibly less advanced?

The Nubians were Egyptianized. Although I think the Nubians were already inspired a bit by the megaliths in their territory.


The Mongols created the largest empire on land.


The Aztecs regarded the Toltecs as a great and prosperous civilization, even claiming descent from them. They were obviously influenced by them. Toltecinized.



There is proof of a cataclysmic event in this thread. You just refuse to look at it.

Warfare advances you pretty quick.

Look at the stuff civilians have today that was the product of a military invention.

These 15 commercial products are a direct result of military research (usatoday.com)

Another common theme you'll see at these sites are these types of cutouts

Italy

Catacombs of Torre Pinta

Portugal

Azores


France:




Israel
Luzit cave

underground city Beit Guvrin

Georgia

Vardzia Cave Monastery,

Spain

Nalda, Los Palomares

Too many different locations for them to be columbariums in my opinion.

 

[Bald1]

Pretty cool thread. I wonder what these sites looked like in their complete states? It seems pretty obvious that some of them are missing wooden elements.

 

[Hellowhosthat]

I was interested until you god involved, what's the justification for that?

GOAT tier thread brother, keep up the amazing work!

It's pretty obvious they're all missing hundreds of thousands of tons (if not millions) of stone.

Electric universe theory. Cataclysmic/high heat damage and the mud flood. Legends of giants. Electrochemistry/Starwater theory.

“And the rain was upon the earth forty days and forty nights.”
Genesis 7:12

Psalm 97:2-7

The Lord reigneth; let the earth rejoice; let the multitude of isles be glad thereof.

2 Clouds and darkness are round about him: righteousness and judgment are the habitation of his throne.

3 A fire goeth before him, and burneth up his enemies round about.

4 His lightnings enlightened the world: the earth saw, and trembled.

5 The hills melted like wax at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the Lord of the whole earth.

6 The heavens declare his righteousness, and all the people see his glory.

7 Confounded be all they that serve graven images, that boast themselves of idols: worship him, all ye gods.

Genesis 6:4
4 There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown.

Are you sure you're not using the bible as a starting point and then trying to find stuff that vaguely matches it?
