Ancient megalithic structures and sites.

[I Am Legion]

That chubby construction worker showed you how to move those blocks...little did we know that all the greatest engineers in history and literally most all of the greatest scientific minds who have all pondered the construction and methods used to build, for instance, Khufu at Giza all were intellectually dwarfed by this random dude.

Your point is stupider than "it was aliens"...which pretty high on the stupid ladder.

And raw manpower doesn't get you most of the stuff posted in the op, deep intellectual understanding and a long history of work stone gets you there.

My post is stupider than “Aliens did it”....there goes your credibility. I believe in simple answers to complex questions. I don’t have a problem believing that ancients who dedicated their lives to their crafts couldn’t accomplish great things just because they didn’t have technology. And they didn’t need make believe alien races to help. What this guy did was show that things that seem impossible, are probable with the right ideas. As for your comment about manpower.....that’s how the world was built...on the backs on people.

Aliens didn't build anything we see on earth. "Technology" is a subjective term, no amount of manpower is building what we see at Giza or something like Sacsayhuayman and Baalbek. You are pretending to understand human beings but on the other side of things you're forgetting everything you know about human beings...namely that they don't spend inordinate amounts of time doing things that can be otherwise done differently or easily.

Again, the architecture at Giza specifically is the work of masters with likely hundreds if not thousands of years of high level experience, the technology that created it is speculative. I'm not taking anything away from whatever group of humans built this, I just think it's utterly ridiculous for every engineer of note to look at it and say it would require heavy equipment and the use of power tools...and conversely for historians (egyptologists) to pretend that since all we find is dolorite balls and copper chisels that those tools and backbreaking labor are what erected mans greatest architectural achievement.

all we know for a fact is that a great renovation when on during the time of Khufu on the Great Pyramid. In fact, carbon dating has been done on organic material between the stones and it turns up with dates preceding Khufu by 300-400 years, which is extremely confusing.

My guess is the Sphinx is exceptionally old (pre 7k bc, for reasons I can explain but won't here) and that the Great Pyramid probably is as well...perhaps the same thing goes for the Chefren and Red Pyramid as well.

Everyone interested in this topic should check out this doc when they've got the time. It's excellent.

Watched the first one, I'll have to check out the second one later. It had some neat info that I hadn't seen before. Without seeing the second one, the first ended with parallels to "The Code" by Carl Munck. I'd highly suggest checking out that video too.

Well since literally everyone who studies this sort of stuff has ruled out slaves, guess you'll need a new guess.

There is a whole lot of "alternative" between "a bunch of ropes, slaves and elbow grease" and "it was aliens".

Get creative.

Aliens crash landed and we enslaved them.

I've watched a Munck video before, actually. Might have to give him another go, as it was a while back.

Had never considered this...but if there is meat on the bone I'm all ears. Sounds plausible, and fuck aliens anyway.

i figure if ancient civilizations were advanced enough to build items like the pyramids and other unique structures throughout the earth, then they also likely had powerful weapons that could possibly be on, or above the level of a nuclear warhead.

too many people seem to discount the human propensity to destroy.

The cataclysm was the global flood. Bible 101.

The cataclysm was the global flood. Bible 101.

Periodic global coastal flooding, particularly at 12,800ybp (years before present) and 11,600ybp, is well documented. As with today, human population centers at the time of these catastrophic flooding events would have been situated near the coast.

It has been estimated that meltwater pulse 1a and 1b as dated above may have been on the scale of 30 feet of sea level rise in 5 years or less. The year marker of 5 is the closest approximation we can use, it could well have been that the melting event that triggered these floods may have added 30 feet to sea level in a month, week or even a day.

Wrap your head around them apples and a) what sort of event is capable of triggering such a rise in sea level and b) how much havoc would be wrought on humanity.

If we had a rise of sea level similar in modern society, our civilization would come to an abrupt end and permanently. People would survive and start over.

Do you believe in lizard people also? Perhaps you could entertain me with chemtrail theories and flat earth science as well?

He believes in a Satanic illuminati enslaving he world. Dunno about lizards, but I wouldn't doubt that he does.

personally I think if aliens have the tech to get here they have the tech to call for backup, in the event they do crash

ancient people enslaving an alien race tens of thousands of years more advanced than them doesnt sound like a story that ends well

The twist is the people on earth were Neanderthals and Homo Sapiens were the ones who crash landed......

Go down the rabbit hole with “desert glass”

It’s found around Egypt and where the space shuttle takes off.

Takes tremendous heat like a rocket launch or a nuke to make it

Or a meteorite

I thought I’ve pretty much seen every theory about the pyramids but I’ll give this a shot. Thanks for the post.

I really enjoy looking and thinking about megalithic structures and everything and find them very inspiring. That said, I don't necessarily see them being anything magical. The video posted earlier with the guy lifting stuff in his backyard pretty much sums up my thoughts. If you just spend some time thinking about this stuff you can come up with a lot of techniques on how to move heavy stuff. What if you think about this stuff for 10 years straight, which some people have the time of, what if you are a genius, what if you have hundreds of slaves at you disposal who you can use for decades on end. Sure the pyramids are complex, but in the end it is just cut up rocks stacked on eachother.

People just prefer to be in awe of something rather than admit it is basic physics, tricks, logistics, slavery and persistence that build these structures. Some people are naturally inclined to prefer watching a magician thinking it's magic whereas other people prefer to deconstruct it and see the truth and not get taken up. People I think are predisposed to "not knowing" something because it allows them more easily to fill in the blankets with what they hope is true, like a god or religion of the sorts. With these ancient buildings it could be conspiracy theories or some pagan religion or hatred towards western and modern society.
