And even then it had already been proven thousands of years prior by a Greek philosopher. Eratosthenes proved the Earth was round by observing two towers, each in a different location and measuring the angles of the shadows made by the Sun at the same time of day. What he found was that both shadows cast different angles and from this he was able to calculate the Earth's circumference.

That means that modern humans existed for about 295,000 years before it was built.

Nothing but stone is permanent enough to give real history, and all we have right now to give a bookmark in humanity in America, is Mount Rushmore. I hate that it is the big monument for our time. Give me more examples, because I'd love to see them.

[@sam-kd4mb]

Also if there were aliens before why aren't they visiting now huh

[@shadowcub5751]

Considering the vast amount of information lost in the Alexandria library fire, it's very probable they had access to more advanced technology than we think. We have absolutely no idea what kind of literature was lost. There could have very well been schematics. Egyptians also had an entirely separate script for handwriting. They didn't write on paper in hieroglyphs. I doubt, for instance, they'd consider a shopping list important enough to be buried with. Also, the simple fact that any tools built with lumber may easily have rotten before any sandstone. The climate in that region at the time, was much wetter than it is now. For all we know they could have had water wheels, cranes and lifts. There is some evidence that Rome around this same era had mechanical clocks and gearing systems. Also, the argument that tools aren't depicted in art because... they're tools... is very valid. As an artist, I can't say I've ever been compelled to paint or draw a power drill. Not to mention the Dark Ages actively wiped out a lot of science (the ancient Greeks knew the world was round... the Church was like, "nah") and I'd dare to say set technological advancement back roughly 1,000 years.

Baby skulls are very susceptible to deformities due to the sutures not being fully closed, hence the abnormal skulls of Tiwanaku (& other tribes in the zone). They did this with multiple methods depending on the required shape, mostly involving planks and rubber bands. You can actually fact check this yourself if you have a spare baby lying around & you force them to sleep on the floor. Without somewhere to rest their heads in a comfier fashion, their skulls usually succumb to the pressure of hard materials. I'm an anthropologist & I couldn't contain myself to explain this phenomenon lmao.

Explanation for the hieroglyphics at 1:24: "These hieroglyphs are actually a result of re-carving the stone to replace some of the original hieroglyphics. The initial carving was made during the reign of Seti I, and the stone was later reused during the period of Ramsesses II with one carving being on top of the the other." "Some of the filling has fallen out in places where the older and newer inscriptions overlap, which produces the unique and odd-looking hieroglyphs." There are images highlighting the seperate original and newer inscriptions, and they've both been translated to English. All it takes is a Google search lmao

It’s not as simple as a right angle... the degrees to which it is off by is incredibly small. All 4 sides have a uncertainty of 4 millimeters from each. So what they made was a perfectly square building that had corners that point nearly perfectly in the cardinal directions. As well doing this as many times as there are layers throughout the pyramid. Experiment go out and grab a bunch of granite which is extremely tough to shape and then build a perfectly square or he’ll try even one square. If you can’t find granite see how hard it is for you to simply draw a perfect square. Then after you do that just go out and grab a bunch of people that don’t know what there are doing and command them to draw a perfect square when they have no idea what a right angle is, what a square is, straight line is, what anything you are building is.

As someone who's taken extensive ancient art history classes, I think it's fascinating that nobody ever accuses the Greeks of getting help from aliens. The columns of the Parthenon are curved at perfect subtle angles, and would require a compass a mile wide to get that result. We can't do that without modern machinery. In the restoration of the Parthenon, there are certain building techniques that we have needed to MAKE UP, using modern machinery, to replicate what they did. But no, just because the Greeks were Oh So Sophisticated and Western, it couldn't be aliens. (BTW, not saying the Parthenon was made by aliens. I believe neither ancient monument was made by aliens. ) Also, wasn't there evidence of ramps at later, similar tombs, specifically Hatshepsut's? Later Pharaohs didn't have the resources to replicate the scale of the Great Pyramids, but they still built more. IDK, I just think that these theories are pretty dismissive of the quality of ancient art, especially that of nonwhite cultures.

(research lukasa boards as a good example of other ways history was preserved in the area) and the egyptian architects were geniuses, and very careful planning was put into the great pyramids by incredibly intelligent people who had been practicing the art form for centuries beforehand. with the amount of resources the ancient egyptians had at the time, along with their advanced mathematic capability and knowledge of the cosmos, its totally probable for them to have built the great pyramids on their own.

A)The fact is, these are all theories. There isn't a way to go back in time to talk with the person who made these drawings and ask them if these are real drawings of real life events or if they were just fictional ideas. There are no facts that make the argument to prove alien presence consistent or valid. The evidence of paintings of "spacemen leading natives in a line", or a mayan carving with a "spaceship in it", or hieroglyphs from the Temple of Setii appearing to depict hovering spacecrafts and modern day machinery would have to be true to make this a valid argument, but due to the lack of truthfulness and ability to prove the artwork true, it can't be verified. B) When we take into account the cave drawings of these, "aliens" or "space men", I started to think about one idea. In todays modern world, we have all of these books and movies about fictional characters and things and that can also translate to drawings of these fictional characters and things. If our civilization were to go extinct and a new civilization far off in the future were to find leftover items from our time, they could possibly find these books or movies or drawings of all these fictional things we talked about in our world today. What if that is what we are doing now and we are looking at drawings of fictional beings that these ancient people thought of and they aren't aliens. If we look at these two assumptions of 1. they are drawings of aliens from outer space or 2. they could be fictional beings from the thoughts of ancient people, of the two it might be easier to believe it could be fictional drawings.

There's a mundane explanation for the spaceship and helicopter looking Egyptian hieroglyphs - Egyptians used to cover hieroglyphs with plaster and re-carve over them to edit them in some instances. I'm pretty sure in this case it was replacing the name of one pharaoh with another. Since they were big on the whole "immortality through remembrance" thing, defacing or covering up past / controversial pharaohs was a way to invalidate them and legitimize their successors. Eventually the plaster would erode away and reveal two sets of hieroglyphs overlapping on top of each other. It's just a coincidence that one symbol overlapping another looks like a helicopter. Also I'm pretty sure I read somewhere that the reason the measurements coincide with pi was due to using wheels as measuring devices.

i agree with shane - people suggesting that the ancient egyptians or the people of tiwanaku couldn't possibly be smart enough to build those structures is disrespectful.

[@13GOLD13]

Really disrespectful. They keep disrespecting my ancestors.

[@13GOLD13]

@Emperor Your version of technology and their version of technology were two different things. My ancestors were very advanced when it came to health and wealth. In the African mystery schools, they taught all sorts of different techniques to activate dormant abilities. Our ancestors were much more advanced than we are which is why they built great monuments your dirty scientist still can't figure out. And how smart our we? All I see from modern society is a whole bunch of pollution and a group of people to greedy and dumb to sustain themselves on one planet. Kemet (Egpyt) was an empire that lasted thousands of years with no pollution. America is only a few hundred years old and we've polluted the planet so much, people are wearing masks because the air is so dirty. I don't see much intelligence in modern society. So I don't care what your history books tell you. There's a caucasian version of history and there is an indigenous, autochthonous American version and I know my ancestors won't lie to me. Dirty caucasians will that's for sure.

[@teddyadams5416]

We can't even build them today so how the hell was they going to do it back then that's why it's the 7th wonder of the world hello why are people so willing to accept that these ancient civilizations built and lifted things that we can't even live for bill today

[@Sunkem1Not6Hacks]

@Emperor well back then there weren't weebs so I think it might be possible?!Nah jk.Math is math, 5000 years ago,100 years from now it would still be math,nothing is gonna change aside from new theory's.

[@onlyonemitch5049]

most of our technology is a result of industrialisation though. I feel like we should all keep that in mind. I mean of course these ancient people had their fair share of discoveries made and they were of course intelligent you know, since they were able to adapt to their environment and discover new tools. And you know how science is always evolving ,meaning that in order for us to be an advanced society we had to take from them their knowledge and of course take off from there.because nothing comes from nothing. With that said,I feel like we should respect them because their initial discoveries are the foundation for our knowledge

[@karolinawooszyn4445]

can we appreciate the fact that bo burnham was in this episode

[@dansanders9121]

Ancient Egyptians absolutely had both pulleys and work animals.

[@danceforlove12]

aliens are totally real but things like the perfect maths of the pyramids is just brilliant people and trial and error. math and science are constantly being forgotten and rediscovered again and again. if the library of alexandria hadn't burned, im sure there'd be some answers in there. that being said im still addicted to this series.

[@Sunshine_Hime]

I think aliens are just us humans from the future going back in time. Our planet is being destroyed day by day and the climate is changing drastically, so future humans will look very different from us in the present and might even move to another planet. But I do agree with you that the construction of pyramids was done by brilliantly itelligent people from the past and not extraterrestrial beings

[@isabellkelley2637]

Olivia M. I agree 100% .. but you're right, this series is still cool as hell ✨

[@ponnylion]

I'm so with you in this one ✊️ it itches my brain every time people forget how much time and slave force this societies had. And I'm with Shane saying it's disrespectful, it's all based on assumptions about how science it's somehow discovered in modern European times 👎

[@Tamaki742]

Penélope Cifuentes Yeah, like they forgot that ancient civillisations have people like Phytagoras, Archimedes, Ptolemy, Euchlid, the various Chinese scientists, etc. (fuck Aristotle tho, that guy sucks). Also it's like they forgot Library of Alexandria existed. Imagine if we still have all of those lost knowledge.

[@theresah1833]

YESSSSSSS

[@ashleydrags7154]

The unsolved mystery or Amelia Earhart (if anyone doesn't know who I'm talking bout, look her up.. it's weird how she died )

[@suchitramehra5561]

Ashley D yes! but it'll be hard since it was in the middle of a water body or something, i don't really remember.

[@suchitramehra5561]

jala bala did they?

[@namesurname9200]

Yea they should do it its interesting

[@faithluvsharry2847]

Yeah that woman just vanished

[@MadDirectionerGirl]

The plane crashed in the ocean and she drowned. That's pretty much it tbh.

[@leongovedarovic5594]

Some smart/nerd Egyptian: People are gonna praise me soo hard for my work and mathematic knowledge. People in 2017: It was the green blobs we don't know even exist!

[@iloveLmorethanyou]

The ancient work was so much smarter than people give them credit for!

[@sickdoctor]

these people literally invented modern mathematics, thats like a very well-known thing and yall are just dismissing it and saying its aliens

[@Hotlinemamii]

Eve Ammerman or more like they learn from them

[@EclipticGraphics]

how do you explain almost EVERY ancient civilisation (PERU, giza, easter island, and hundreds more) LINE UP EXACTLY to form an equator around the world which when placed in relation to giza forms PI to 150 digits and we can find 1.618 (fibonacci sequence and golden ratio) which accounts for all natural structures in the UNIVERSE. look this shit up, it CANT be chalked up to coincidence, EVERY civilisation along this line built their buildings in the EXACT same way with the exact same materials to avoid destruction over time and each site builds a story for future generations to learn from. the tools used to build giza were rocks and some low tech chisels, there is evidence of machinery used TODAY, that makes very specific cuts and patterns where they are used, which was found at the sites of multiple of these civilisations. Watch the documentary 'Ancient Knowledge' its a 5 parter on youtube (the guy who uploaded it kept making references to the illuminati, which i find dumb, but at least watch it to prove me wrong, its interesting stuff) also to link all of these civilisations in this perfectly straight line you would need to travel over the pacific and Atlantic oceans and they DIDNT HAVE BOATS IN MOST OF THE EARLY CIVILISATIONS(or at least boats that could withstand journeys like that)

[@Zitor]

Eve Ammerman haha those giant lights tooo.....

[@hannahwren6289]

Zitor those giant lights could be a way of containing fire, like gas lamps. The box could just be a fuel box

[@bso0omah]

I know right?? Fucking annoying 😒

[@majorgeneraljohnson8212]

Ancient Egyptians: We finally made something great. I hope this hard work will be remembered! Conspiracy theorists: iT WaS aLiEnZ!!

[@chromberries7329]

Toasty Dinosaur wow that makes me sad

[@tehmemezlord2379]

Me: is that aliens mating?

[@Benjamin-fc5yk]

Wait for it, ALIEN'S

[@justinlittle4534]

Wasnt the Egyptians but yes I see what your saying, whoever built them would probably be pissed to see people think aliens built it and that they possibly couldnt of done it themselves.

[@rooiflitz]

Toast!

[@solutionspotter4594]

Not just that, in india thrs a book called Surya siddhanta in which the distance between earth and sun and moon size of different planets and a lot of other things are written around 1000 years ago. Also modern science found that there are 9 planets in the recent history while indians had built the nine idols for nine planets thousands of years ago itself in the temples 🤔

[@JME2191]

I find it hard to believe they didn't have pulleys, wheels, working animals and I love a good theory. I feel like they had those things and then some plus an incredibly large work force. I kind of like the theory Graham has about an advanced civilization that has been wiped from the history due to large scale cataclysm.

[@constantinebrown1774]

I get paranoid when i watch these. Anyone else?

[@poppyoconnor2649]

Constantine Brown yep

[@DemHighTimes]

I enjoy a burning sensation in my nether regions.

[@fml8015]

LMFAO YESSSS SAME

[@black_yoshi1andblack_mario205]

Constantine Brown yes

[@iamameme886]

Constantine Brown yes it should be buzz feed paranoid

[@ianeons9278]

If the library of Alexandria never burned,we could have more information on our past to see if we where contacted by aliens.

[@detectiveelectro2372]

I know that alien was jinn because it all over the place.

[@hrf6548]

We're probably sooo much more advanced by now if it wasn't burned down :< or maybe some of the knowledge are hidden in the vatican archive?? Hmm

[@stevenstuart152]

Just imagine, if Atlantis never sank beneath the waves, we'd have renewable clean energy,faster than light AND time travel, as well as the cure for cancer!!

[@scipio2234]

Probably not the only serious knowledge lost was historical knowledge Pretty sad, but not a big rock on the way

[@Seeitall728]

This exact thought haunts me all the time

[@pek7153]

Earth is a speck of dust in this universe. Theres about a billion galaxies and we cant even travel past the milky way. With no doubt we can not be the only planet with life.

[@dazedandalittleconfused]

Carl Sagan: Burgers and Tacos are the only thing you can eat now it's healthy Ryan: but there's no evidence to back that up Shane: 5:51
