Impossibly Huge Megaliths That Show Signs of an Ancient Technology We Cant Explain
This is a question that I have always thought is worthy of a lot more than "off the cuff" assumptions that "it just got done". Many stones are so perfect it is ridiculous to think they got hacked out to match like they do, or be a smooth as they are. Good summary of sites around the world and examples of what makes no sense.

The dimensions 13 1/2 feet long 7 1/2 feet wide and 11 feet high.. the cave entrance 9'10" wide not much room to carry on each side about 15" each side for carrying.
Serapeum of Saqqara .
So what is so fascinating about Saqara’s Serapeum? Lots, but probably most especially the twenty four enormous sarcophagi, measuring 4m long, 2.30m wide, 3.30m high and each weighing over 80 tons, made of granite. The Serapeum is an underground development comprising a complex network of narrow tunnels within which the large sarcophagi are located. It is baffling to think how these sarcophagi were ever moved and positioned within such a tightly confined space. Clearly not impossible, as proved, but how?
The sarcophagi too create their own mystery. Only two of them bare any inscriptions. The others are totally smooth in finish. Each is carved from a single block of granite. The corners are perfect inside and out, and the sides are said to be exactly parallel, which, even if there were actually some slight wavering and error in the remark, would remain remarkable with only primitive tools and no drill to have used that anyone knows of. Apparently there are notches that allow the 4.30m wide lid to be rotated sideways on its central axis and to remain in position on the edge of the sarcophagus. This indicates that the sarcophagi were used open as often as closed.

No need for aliens; we have brains.

Heizer first conceived of the work in 1968, and attempted its construction using a 120-ton boulder in 1969. This attempt was abandoned, however, when the boom of the crane being used to lift the boulder broke. In December 2006, Heizer discovered a new, larger rock at Stone Valley Quarry in Jurupa Valley (Riverside County, California) while preparing a different project. With the help of LACMA director Michael Govan, funding was secured for the boulder's removal and transportation and for the construction of the finished work at the museum. The cost of the project has been estimated at $10 million, and was funded entirely via private donations.[2]
The boulder was originally scheduled for transport in August 2011. Due to the difficulty in securing permits for the journey, the trip was repeatedly delayed, with the boulder finally leaving the quarry at the end of February 2012. The rock was loaded onto a 295-foot long, 196-wheeled transporter custom-built by Emmert International. Because of the transporter's size and needs, the boulder could only be moved at night at a maximum speed of about seven miles per hour. Though the quarry is located less than 60 miles from the LACMA campus, a circuitous 106-mile route traversing 22 cities in 4 counties[3] was taken in order to avoid busier roads or overpasses that could not support the combined weight of the boulder and transporter. Numerous trees were cut down, cars towed and traffic lights temporarily removed in order to facilitate the transporter's movement. The rock itself was wrapped in high-thread-count Egyptian cotton sheets and an outer layer of thick plastic before being loaded onto the transporter. The trip took 11 days, with large crowds gathering to see the boulder both in motion and while parked during the day. Spontaneous block parties and at least one marriage proposal took place at the transporter's various resting places. The transporter finally arrived at LACMA at 4:30am on March 10, 2012. A crowd estimated at over 1,000 assembled to see the installation's arrival.[4]. https://www.google.com/search?q=levit...

An oscillating G could be evidence for a particular theory that relates dark energy to a fifth, hypothetical fundamental force, in addition to the four we know – gravity, electromagnetism, and the two nuclear forces. This force might also cause the strength of gravity to oscillate, says Padilla. “This result is indeed very intriguing.”
So, if this mysterious force was actually identified and quantified, it would possibly be the missing factor. I am surprised they are this open to discussion...
Experimental archeology can and has reproduced these things: Damascus swords (ore has to come from a specific mine in India and be forged in a certain manner), moving huge blocks of stone (many re-enactments), hand spinning and/or weaving finer thread than most modern products.
Repeatedly, we have discovered that our ancestors were more advanced longer ago than we imagined. Occam's Razor says that this is the simplest answer.

1. Ancient precision stone cutting techniques.
2. Technological level of ancient societies.
1. I think that we know enough about (and can replicate experimentally) ancient stone working techniques to explain the fascinating architecture that remains without having to postulate aliens.
2 Babylonian batteries and Antikythera devices need to be included in our image of the past. Otzi had a copper axe 5K years ago; Thera (and maybe Knossos) had indoor plumbing and running hot and cold water. A subset of our ancestors were civilized and sophisticated scholars (the rest were howling cannibals - lots more variation in the past).

The Spanish wanted to attribute the work to the Inca's .From the Inca they claimed it was already built.
Those stones certainly look to be shaped , more than cut.
Nothing could be further from the truth.
If you assume a knowledge of Trigonometry (which the Babylonians [3700 years ago] were just recently proven to have [AND they used a system that was far more powerful and more user friendly than the modern way]), all of these things are easily accomplished if you have both the Manpower, and nothing better to do.
Or you could say the mental and physical "Evolution of man." Smart really is irrelevant in this context because they didn't have the foundation to build on yet and, perhaps, not a developed enough brain for the higher concepts.
You only have to look at what all these great societies accomplish when people don't have to go through subsistence survival.
What you are talking about is not evolution of Man's brain, but evolution of society.
You assume that since the Egyptians didn't have caterpillar tractors to move around the blocks that the Egyptians must be stupid, must lack the knowledge of how to cut and create square blocks, and don't have the strength to put them in place.
Simple geometry is easy to suss out. For example, the pyramids are pointing TRUE north. How can a race as primitive as the Egyptians achieve this, you ask? It must be aliens or some unheard of technology! No. If you start with the assumption that the Egyptians are not dumb, it's easy to figure it out. Assuming the earth is round (which shoots the Flat Earth BS in the foot), you can find True North with a string in a single night.
They great pyramid and the Sphinx was likely built before the Egyptians. The masterpiece in Giza was the greatest and the future or newer constructs were all inferior.
I cannot imagine such effort and expenditure of wealth and manpower without some compulsion other than "because we want to." What is rarely taken into consideration is the cost of housing and feeding the thousands of men needed to be fed, housed and trained. Moving a hundred thousand ton rock, miles away, and carving it to shape with primitive tools? Gimme a break.
I have yet to buy the trilogy. Bugeting, y'know.
Certainly not for a burial chamber.
It is likely an extremely rapid melting of 2-3 mile high sheets of ice created a massive flood and tsunamis wiping much history from the planet. http://www.ancient-origins.net/news-h...
I'd be afraid they'd all drink hemlock to prevent it!
LOL
There is a disconnect when granite can be cut with the precision that cannot be replicated today with glass smooth surfaces and inside corners precision cut weighing 160,000 lbs all with crude copper chisels.....hmmmm
Just ask the electronic universe does his hair guy on The History Channel~

Why did these people build these incredible structures and monuments? Too much time on their hands? Rulers who wanted to impress others? Need for permanent structures that could last centuries not requiring the expense of labor to build new ones. All interesting questions we may never know the answers too. We are taking very little information and trying to read into what happened and why.
Made my hair stand on the back of my head.
The night before was a private showing for 3M
Loads of engineers in attendance were also marveled by the flawless work ,so said the museum guard.
