I'd suggest reading up on Graham Hancock and Randall Carlson's work man, amazing stuff. There is more evidence being found every day supporting the theory that humans were bought to the brink of extinction by cosmic impacts that threw the earth back into a deep freeze known as the "Younger Dryas" roughly 12,000 years ago, and that these monuments are the remains of lost, advanced civilizations. It's becoming widely accepted as fact among the scientific community and relies purely on scientific data. It has nothing to do with "Ancient Aliens" or anything supernatural, but it's still equally as fascinating.

We just assume that they would use the same style of technology as us. What if they became technological advanced but they started with biology based tech. They realized the importance of the earth so they did not build and mine like we did but still managed to blow themselves up. Well we got a good chance then huh?
That is absolutely correct.
Over the past 8 - 10 years, a group of highly credentialed researchers including Archaeologists, Senior Scientists, Geologists, Geo-physicists, and Nuclear Chemists have been begun to unearth irrefutable evidence that our earth was hit by a series of asteroid fragments roughly 12,800 years ago, resulting in further cataclysms (earthquakes, flooding, etc) up until 11,600 years ago. The evidence includes the study of ancient shore lines, core samples, and the discovery of nano-diamonds and nuclear melt glass (similar to what is found at nuclear test sites) covering an area of 50 million square kilometers across 4 different continents. These nano-diamonds are formed under immense pressure and heat exceeding 2500 degrees centigrade.
These impacts, thought to be roughly 1 - 2km fragments of a comet 100km+ accross, hit different areas around the globe. Impacts pulverized giant ice sheets in North America (North America was under 2 - 3km of ice at this time) causing global flooding of an unimaginable scale, ejecting dust clouds into the atmosphere which blocked out the suns rays for close to 1000 years, and threw the earth back into a deep freeze known as the Younger Dryas. This resulted in a decimation of species (close to 70% of all species at the time) and brought humans close to the brink of extinction.

the pyramids have a room at the bottom where the nile is underground basically and then hallways that go up and up until the top room which has a light window
I thought they were for growing mushies in an arid climate There's not much doubt in my mind that people wouldn't worship drugs back then
but the other theory was that it was a powerplant and the container upstairs was for a battery not a human

I haven't heard of that but just saw this article today. Pretty strange.
MEXICO CITY (AP) — Mexican experts have discovered that the main pyramid at Mexico's Mayan ruins of Chichen Itza was at least partially built atop a subterranean river.
Experts from Mexico's National Autonomous University say they found a subterranean cavity about 20 meters (yards) deep below the pyramid of Kukulkan, also known as El Castillo.
Geophysics expert Rene Chavez said Thursday the underground river chamber is naturally covered by rock.
Such underground rivers often connect the open "cenotes," or sinkhole lakes, that dot Mexico's Yucatan peninsula.
The discovery was made using a kind electrical resistance survey, not by excavating. Chavez said one corner of the pyramid rested on the underground chamber, so it was in danger of collapsing.
Archaeologist Guillermo de Anda said the discovery was important.
De Anda, who did not participate in the study, said it may confirm that the Mayas included symbolic maps of their cosmology in their temples and sacred sites. The cenotes that surround the pyramid could represent the four points of the compass. The river at the center might represent the center of the Maya's universe, which they thought of as a tree with roots reaching below ground.
Also Thursday, the National Institute of Anthropology and History said research at another Mayan site, Uxmal, found an usually high number of medicinal plants growing nearing the structure known as the governor's palace.
Uxmal site director Jose Huchim Herrera said the concentration of such plants was so much higher in the sacred area than in surrounding fields, that it indicates the Mayas planted them there intentionally as a sort of medicinal garden. The site has about 150 species used to treat snake bites, stomach infections and fevers.

Some of the things I've read/watched about the pyramids have said that it wasn't really built on slave labor. Builders were given homes, food (can't remember if actual "pay" was involved) and even a real burial when they died.
I dunno if that's true or not, but there's always some type of evidence to support this idea whenever it gets brought up.
And not to come in stepping on people's toes, but I find most of the "non-conventional thoughts" on why they were built or how, to be utterly absurd. Teleportation devices, ships, constructed by aliens, power sources, etc etc.. If any of this has any truth to it at all, why is there no evidence of it at all. We'd of found something tangible by now.

Holy shit. I long for the ages of old sometimes.
These mushroom statues have been found all over that area I think.

Saw those mushroom statues in one of Paul Stamets lectures. They're cool as fuck. I'd love to have one to put on display at home.

Ancient culture were far more in tune that we are today.
I know that sounds a bit vague, but it's true.
Just another small example, though the Picatrix deserves it's own thread I'll share it here anyway.

here's my hunch for the pyramids found all over the world, air travel.
alot of the pyramids were found with battery's inside, what would they be using battery's for with no electronics? some say electroplating, but isn't almost all the artifacts from that time period solid gold? well regardless they could be used for more than one thing, and the second thing is to create gas for hot air balloons.
the pyramids on the inside is for storing the gas perhaps? or just where its created? then on the outside its physically used as a landing site, for finding your destination ect. the outside of the pyramids are 'stepped' so that could be for loading and unloading cargo with the balloon at the very top of the pyramid.
they could also aid in water collection when it rains.
they took so long to make in theory, id imagine there had to be a really big reason to make them, and along the way they might have thought of a bunch of other reasons. but for what they had to work with, they seemed way smarter than we are today
all those huge markings in the ground made into huge animal figuers that could only be seen from the sky, they had to of had some form of air travel

i'll admit the rest of your post has merit.
but the reason you dont find ancient electroplated artifacts, is because electroplating is very very thin. you can electroplate a hot wheels car in gold for about 2-3$
the thing is, that electroplating wheres off very fast
the ancient battery-like-devices are very interesting, but their capabilities are so limited. i dont see how one could power a lightbulb. they would need a whole array of them
as far as i know they have never found a massive battery array, only a dozen maybe in one place

Yea that is what believe for the most part..
But whether they were worked to death on extremely harsh conditions or not, i believe they were still enslaved, but not in the way most of the movies and books depict it as, more like the kind of blind slavery we have now, with the whole consumer thing, the money, the countless toys that keep us distracted, media, the governments, etc.., we're domesticated creatures, no different than the animals we domesticated and now depend solely on our survival.

It's as if they had better technology or had some help. There's the Derinkuyu underground city in Turkey that extending to a depth of approximately 60 m, it is large enough to have sheltered approximately 20,000 people together with their livestock and food stores. The stone was so soft and experts don't know how they built it without a collapse. They discovered all this during some renovation in the sixties and there's probably more even bigger that are undiscovered.
I think we were more evolved back then and died off but haven't yet got back to that level yet. Good short video about it below.

I find it ironic how our ancestors are always depicted as like these savaged cavemen, but in reality they were the future. We are the past.
