I don't know how people can stand to accept mainstream explanations. The whole mindset is just so much more fucking awesome.

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.

Must have been. Only aliens would use such high tech materials as blocks of stone - no doubt the same material they built their spacecraft with.

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...

I am curious. What are the Genii? The Quran talks a lot about the Djinn. What are the Djinn? Are the Djinn and the Genii the same?

Im sure the US military have a prototype battleship made of that stuff. its not as high tech as shit, mud and sticks. which is what they are guarding at area 51

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
Quote:
#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.
