Ancient megalithic structures- only three possibilities?
#19164113 - 11/20/13 09:22 AM (10 years, 2 months ago) |

Countless immense megalithic structures including the pyramids of Giza, stonehenge, machu pichu, underground cities, and numerous other examples demonstrate one of three things:
1. Ancient cultures possessed technology equal to or greater than what we have today 2. Ancient cultures had mental, magical, telekinetic or supernatural powers that allowed them to levitate, melt and cut stone with their minds or with sorcery of some kind 3, Ancient cultures had assistance from non-human intelligences such as extraterrestrials or non-human terrestrials
The one thing we know for sure is that these megalithic structures could not be constructed with ropes, log rollers, bow drills, pulleys and basic stone or metal tools.
Are there other possibilities I am missing?

4. Ancient cultures had logistical engineering methods and far greater experience working with stone than we tend to have.

"There are more questions than responses to how the spectacular Inca city was constructed.
About 5.000 people must have worked to build Machu Picchu - specialists say. But it could only accommodate 750 - 1.000 inhabitants. Strangely there were only about 200 - 250 skeletons found...
The Incas used dry stone technique to build the city. No mortar was used, the stone bricks were simply put together without any material to stick them together.
All rocks used were split perfectly and the bricks were put together like a huge puzzle. Some of the bricks are so tightly put together that one cannot even put a knife between them.
The rocks were probably cut with the so-called wooden wedge technique: holes were drilled into the rocks and wet wooden wedges were inserted into them. After that the constructors waited until the wet wooden wedges froze.
The ice having bigger volume than water, forces the rock and creates fissures.
But the wooden wedge technique cannot explain the smoothness and perfect straightness of the bricks.
We do not know how the Incas made measurements, calculations. The did not write, but they managed to construct such complex cities.
It is also interesting to mention that the the Incas did not know the wheel!
Heavy granite stones are the primary materials.
Extremely hard to cut, even with today's technology.
Granite cutting is a difficult operation even with modern equipment and can take hours to cut."

And building these structures was their primary focus of their society/existence.
Imagine, if all 300 million people of the U.S. just decided their only goal was to build huge ass pyramids. Nobody went to work, followed Wall St. or watche TV etc., you just had an enormous group of people who woke up every day and said: "yup, time to move some huge fucking stones".

I think humans have had culture alot longer then the current paradigm likes to acknowledge. Only recently at Gobekli Tepe has accepted science played with the idea that humanity's culture could be older then 10000 years old. This was due to backwards ass places like Egypt having people in charge of archaeology that wouldn't change they're paradigms.

When you consider the sophistication of the mental concepts these people must have used, the planning, the designs, the mathematics and physics and craftsmanship... its truly mind-blowing. What system of education did they use to produce the kind of brilliant individuals who orchestrated these megalithic constructions? What ancient schools and lineages did they belong to? They must have been initiates of extraordinary genius, trained in facilities that equal our greatest universities, as intelligent as Tesla or Einstein or Davincii, to orchestrate such ambitious projects and direct them to successful completion. My god...

Yes. Every human with abnormally high intelligence is actually possessed by a magical desert spirit. This is why genii are often behind the worst atrocities in humankind's history. We They just want to screw up the human world out of spite.

You can accomplish a lot when you have leagues of slave at hand, and decades to dedicate to it.
Realize many of these ancient structures took decades, and for some, centuries to build.

I'm more for we just don't know rather than a cover up, but here's something cool

#4. Hypogeum of Hal-Saflieni Has Bizarre Acoustic Properties
Wikipedia
On the island of Malta is a prehistoric underground megalithic structure known awesomely as the Hypogeum of Hal-Saflieni, which sounds like the title of Terry Gilliam's next movie. It was discovered by accident in 1902 when some workers were digging a hole and broke through the ceiling. Oh, and they also found about 7,000 skeletons all clustered near the entrance. So, that's creepy.
Since most humans inherently lack common sense, the workers decided to take a look around, instead of fleeing from whatever it was that 7,000 people clearly died trying to escape. Luckily, rather than having their faces melted off by some Indiana Jones MacGuffin, they found something truly astonishing.
The Malta Experience "Holy shit, there's a Waffle House down here!"
The three-level underground structure is made entirely out of megalithic stones, and was built who knows when. What surprised people even more was when they found out that male voices could reverberate throughout the entire complex if the person was standing in a certain spot. But here's the kicker -- the effect only worked if the speaking voice was in the 95 to 120 Hz range, so women's voices don't usually generate the same effect. Whoever built the Hypogeum actually invented sexist architecture.
It gets weirder: If you're a man chanting at roughly the 110 Hz frequency, the entire temple complex turns into this bizarre trance-inducing room that seems able to stimulate the creative center of the human brain.
The Malta Experience And if you really want to mess with people, just chant "rhubarb."
Simply put, by merely standing inside that temple complex while someone was chanting in the proper location, you actually enhanced your religious experience. And that's all we really know about this place. We have no idea who built it or how they pulled it off. All we know for certain is that they had a knowledge of acoustics that is still baffling scientists to this very day. Our modern attempts at recreating the effect in our own basement have varied in success, depending on how much whiskey we've consumed beforehand.

The way I see it, math existed back in the day and both egyptians and whoever built stonehenge had the sufficient knowledge to move a rock from point A to point B until the project was over.

Well, their societies were based more on glorifying their gods (in this case the Pharaohs were gods to the people) and their leaders and built pyramids to act both as a grave and as a... well wikipedia says it best
Quote:
The shape of Egyptian pyramids is thought to represent the primordial mound from which the Egyptians believed the earth was created. The shape of a pyramid is thought to be representative of the descending rays of the sun, and most pyramids were faced with polished, highly reflective white limestone, in order to give them a brilliant appearance when viewed from a distance. Pyramids were often also named in ways that referred to solar luminescence. For example, the formal name of the Bent Pyramid at Dahshur The Southern Shining Pyramid, and that of Senwosret at el-Lahun was Senwosret is Shining.
While it is generally agreed that pyramids were burial monuments, there is continued disagreement on the particular theological principles that might have given rise to them. One suggestion is that they were designed as a type of "resurrection machine."[14]
The Egyptians believed the dark area of the night sky around which the stars appear to revolve was the physical gateway into the heavens. One of the narrow shafts that extends from the main burial chamber through the entire body of the Great Pyramid points directly towards the center of this part of the sky. This suggests the pyramid may have been designed to serve as a means to magically launch the deceased pharaoh's soul directly into the abode of the gods.
All Egyptian pyramids were built on the west bank of the Nile, which as the site of the setting sun was associated with the realm of the dead in Egyptian mythology.[15]

A few insanely intelligent and well educated people and millions of hardworking muscular people= pyramids.
Sounds about right.

I think aliens capable of interplanetary travel would have better things to do than play legos on a planet dominated by monkeys.

And this is amazing to you? If so, you really should open your eyes and observe the world and universe you live in. Fitting bricks tightly together is about as amazing as tying a knot.

pretty much they were build with their bear hands and used tools that were quite sophisticated at that time. however, i believe they were much more advanced in mind, body, and spirit. they knew more about nature then we do now. their cultures were also way more advance and genuine then our own. which is why we find them so mysterious, they worked together and were able to accomplish great things.

They were "build" with "bear" hands, yet they used tools? I dont think you even know what you are writing.

It was all me, I'm twenty thousand years old and it gets dull sometimes. Spent a few hundred years making each of those structures, one brick at a time. Never thought anyone would actually give a shit about all that

How long do you think if would take to rebuild the Pyramids from scratches with the current technology?
I would be cool if they made a TV that rebuilds the world wonders and update them with the most high tech technologies we have

Building the Pyramids would be very easy. Carving up the stones would be a bitch.
