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.

    That is actually a very, very important find, but I found this part very tellig:

    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...

    I saw it in England in 1970, when the British Museum had a special exhibit. They did not have all the artifacts, but they did have the sarcophagus, and that was stunning.

    There are enough actual, verified, real sites under water to at least establish that at one point, there was a significant amount of land above the current water level. I am waiting for someone to stumble on an ancient city that has real artifacts and can be dated accurately.

    I saw the Tutankhamen exhibit and the busts of Pharos carved 4-5000 years ago were stunning.
    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.

    An incredible discovery that was recently made in Russia threatens to shatter conventional theories about the history of the planet. On Mount Shoria in southern Siberia, researchers have found an absolutely massive wall of granite stones. Some of these gigantic granite stones are estimated to weigh more than 3,000 tons, and as you will see below, many of them were cut “with flat surfaces, right angles, and sharp corners”. Nothing of this magnitude has ever been discovered before. The largest stone found at the megalithic ruins at Baalbek, Lebanon is less than 1,500 tons. So how in the world did someone cut 3,000 ton granite stones with extreme precision, transport them up the side of a mountain and stack them 40 meters high? According to the commonly accepted version of history, it would be impossible for ancient humans with very limited technology to accomplish such a thing. Could it be possible that there is much more to the history of this planet than we are being taught? https://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=...

    Excellent example, take that and send it back 6 or 8 K years and have a bunch of starving slaves drag it there. They'd still be waiting....

    Levitated mass 340 tons does this compare to ancient sites? Some Stones from ancient temples weigh up to 4x this modern day feet. It cost 10 million for one stone.
    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...

    Which one was he in, 1,2, or 3? He was really good as Quark, and I think he even appeared in a couple fan films.

    All true, however, as below, there are a series of stone boreholes found in Egypt with no marks in them from a cutting tool, and we cannot do that today. So, obviously, some very advanced, and different, science was available. Maybe related to whatever was used to cut and fit stones with near perfect precision in many Peruvian sites.

    That is one reason more serious research is needed beyond "ancient aliens". The mainstream just wants to pawn it off with easy answers like "get a million slaves together" and then "roll them on logs". That doesn't wash, as the video shows, there is the one site where the mainstream did that, but then could not explain how they all got up on the slim spine where the site was, and there wasn't enough room for them all to stand. Certainly aliens is a possibility, just as angels and leprechauns could be, but, low probability based on existing evidence. Now, there is a lot of other evidence saying maybe there are aliens or advanced technology in human possession, and maybe there was back then, You just need some evidence. There are some perfectly cut boreholes in several Egyptian structures, that cannot be made today, without marks from the drill, so, obviously, something else is at work. You cannot rule out any answer, nor can you confirm one, yet.

    While the size and complexity of the building materials and architecture are fascinating I can not draw the conclusion that aliens from another planet would come to this planet to build these structures with their technology. Humans have evolved to build using engineering techniques that utilize building materials more efficiently to be as strong as needed and provide more space with less material. Why would people who could traverse even the galaxy need to build these monoliths to provide shelter or guidance for their craft? My dad once suggested that some of these incredible stones were placed and then oxalic acid or some other agent these builders were aware of was used to soften them and make them fit well. I don't know if that would work either but often times we do discover methods that although crude would have worked.
    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.

    There are two topics here:
    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).

    More advanced yes, but that still does not mesh with the standard model of building upon the previous generations knowledge. Your position is actually reinforcing the hypothesis that there was a more advanced civilization further back in time. Where did they go, and who were they?

    You points ar valid, but they do not incorporate all the known issues with places like the Pyramids, or as Dob has pointed out, Prescesional Astronomy such that they knew a 24,000 year cycle? Also, unless you know something more about their agrarian skills, who was raising all the food required to keep everyone going, while they busied themselves building a huge number of useless edifices?

    The Ferengi bartender was played by Armin Shimmerman, who also appeared in Atlas. I think there should be a protest to having a Jew play a Ferengi, which attributes a money-grubbing, anti-feminist, mean spirited, but funny character to him. Jews arise! Nah, too many snowflakes.

    Well, the real issue is that no tools have ever been found capable of what we find today in the work, resulting in having to fantasize to come up with an explanation. I think that there is a possible answer under water in some of the shallower areas. There is a signifigant shallow area in the pacific north of New Zealand that is possibly a submerged continent, and there are a lot of stories relating to "magicians" who came to the people of the earth (many societies tell of them) who could perform magic and taugh men civilization. So, if the comet from the Younger Dryas (about 12-14,00 years ago), did indeed really dig up the earth, maybe it caused a great melting of the ice sheet and raised sea level to where they were submerged, thus hiding the "tools".

    What, no Ancient Aliens?!! I love to shred each and everyone of them. The ancient engineers and masons must of had considerable more intelligence. Plus extensive tool kit then we in this era give them credit for. Even though we have found a lot of their tools yet. Those ancient peoples probably took their tools with them where ever the work was. I each of my vehicles has a set of tools, besides a home tool chest. So, the same holds true today the tools go where ever man goes.
