Angkor Wat, the world largest religious temple, and West Baray, the world largest hand-cut water reservoir, but the weird thing is that these 2 place are in the same area 7km apart was built in the same era, the Khmer Empire (today Cambodia). The ancient constructions and infrastructures left me thousands of questions on how they built those thousands of temples, and I got goosebump learning about the history of those temples. I cannot force myself to not believe that those temples were not built by human.

Persepolis is said to have been the greatest Palace in ancient history. A massive structure built over 2300 years ago to rule what was the entire "known world" at the time (except for greece). Architects and artists all over the world contributed to building it. Although its in ruins now, it is still on my bucket list. However, since the ruin lies in Iran it gets ignored a lot by the west due to politics.

Kailash Temple ( Number 16, 12.20) is the most amazing as per my opinion. This was build in the 6th century, a very huge structure, carved out of a very solid rock mountain and when creating such a huge monolithic structure from the mountain, there can not be room for error. The cutting was from the top down so a lot of pre-planning, knowledge passing must have been done and that is also with very basic tools.

Indus Valley Civilisation should have been covered, as its one the oldest along with ancient Egypt and Mesopotamian civilisations. Famous for its city planning, drainage systems, water supply system, road network, and location of administrative buildings it spreads to a vast area. Why it was abandoned still remains a mystery.

[@gabumonboys]

They probably ran out of fertile soil to sustain their population. The Egyptians lasted for thousands of years because the Nile always flooded the surroundings with fresh fertile silt.

[@Arjun-op4yd]

@@gabumonboys Indus valley is also called Indus-saraswati civilization, saraswati was the main river around which the civilization (beside indus) was built around but around 2500-1900 bc due to tectonic disturbance that river's flow stopped or diverted (which created ghaggar-hakra river) which created aridification and on that area civilization lasted from 7000 bc to 1300 bc approx and people migrated from indus-saraswati river plane to close to gangetic river plane after that.

27:08, 28:24 For those who are interested in the topic of polygonal masonry. A number of methods for obtaining the polygonal masonry are proposed. The basis of the proposed methods is the use of clay/gypsum replicas, a topography translator, and reduced clay models of the stone blocks along with a 3D-pantograph. The results are presented in the article: “Fabrication methods of the polygonal masonry of large tightly-fitted stone blocks with curved surface interfaces in megalithic structures of Peru”. KZbin does not allow a direct link. Search by the article title.

[@thunderbugcreative7778]

I've pondered this subject for many years, I have read this article. What this theory does not account for is quarry, transportation, and installation of multi ton blocks let alone 100+ ton pieces. Nor does the proposed method make any sense for more regular (generally rectangular) megalithic block construction sometimes known as "Ashlar masonry" such as Baalbek, Western wall Jerusalem, Pynx wall Athens etc. including various sites in Egypt, Peru(Mach Picchu has some walls made of nearly parallel courses) and elsewhere where huge stones were transported long distances(sometimes up mountains) and despite being generally rectangular, still exhibit the 'swollen' front face which has in some cases been artistically dressed around the parameter of each block. Why go through all the trouble of topography/3-d pantograph transfer for blocks that are still unique yet very similar? Just make them all identical H or W... The builders of all "cyclopean" or "Ashlarian" masonry were obviously capable of standardizing shapes and sizes so the wall would still offer aesthetic beauty and seismic protection, yet they did not under any circumstance choose to.

[@RostislavLapshin]

@@thunderbugcreative7778 ​Below are the excerpts from the article. “The main building materials of those years were boulders and blocks of rock of random (arbitrary) shape. As a rule, this building material did not need to be mined (broken out in quarries), since it was presented everywhere in the form of multi-meter deposits of mountain debris formed at the foot of the mountains as a result of fallings and landslides. In most cases, this material did not even need to be transported from anywhere, since construction took place usually at those locations where the material was already in great abundance. If a megalithic structure was located on top of a mountain, then the construction material was taken (broken out) here on the site. That is why, for example, the top of the mountain, where the Machu Picchu complex of buildings is located, is cut off, while the tops of the neighboring mountains, where no one lives, are sharp.” “After the mentioned copying process with the specified scale, the wall of stone blocks is assembled without any adjustments using rollers, levers, steel crowbars, blocks, winches, and cranes of the time.”

@@heysup7014 Dear Ananyakuza, well, it might not all ways be easy to see, what that is actually cutted, and what as is shaped, but with the trained and experienced eye, it become more evident. So, the shaped structures is created by highly developed 'real people' and goes back 86.000 years, solely by thought-power. The polygonal accuracy and the knobs is the sure sign, of these highly developed people. There is a large number of these structures around the earth, they are all made by the same people. They do absolutly everything solely by Thought-power, by de-materializing the need'ed material/rock, projecting the atoms in the Stuff, and materialize the finish Idea/structure. This is unknown to most researchers, and therefore remain as a big mystery.

Biggest mystery is where did the 3 lakh ton of rubble dugout while cutting out the temple go, no mound, not a trace of it.

[@holgerjrgensen2166]

You're right, but there is also this possible, that it had been shaped for other constructions and structures, as polygonal walls and alike. When they were able to take it out by thought power, they may also be able to shape into useful forms. The out-take was The great pyramid + 20%

Not much worse off than those who lived in the more recent time palaces or those living in the modern day apartments and cities I guess ..... they just had to deal with a different set of life threats but the existential issues are always overbearing except for a lucky few
