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.

Yeah man thats so fucking amazing! I was actually watching a documentary about that exact thing when I made this thread!



Check it out! (there is a lot of other crazy stuff in this doc but it covers that underground temple complex sound magnifying crazy thing).

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.

No aliens involved.

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.

But... :ancientaliens:

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

How much man power are we devoting to this project? I say they could do it in 3 months with everything mankind had poured into it.

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