That’s basically how the mainstream opinions were also formed. That’s really how it goes when you’re trying to assemble a cohesive picture of the ancient past. It’s all more of an interpretation which is why archaeology isn’t really a science. It’s competing belief systems where very few people are ever truly objective. Most theories in both the mainstream and alternative sides get some things right but likely miss a large portion. In the future we may view our current understanding as ass backwards. Hard to tell since it potentially only takes one turn of the spade to make us question everything. I feel like they present pretty cohesive arguments. Both sides do. Doesn’t make them correct and neither has to be 100% right or wrong.

@@edwardfletcher7790 are you unaware of how often “qualified” scientists have been wrong about something, often for quite a long time, because they assumed or took things for granted? We forget about when they where wrong after the fact but the majority of scientific history is being wrong. Science shouldn’t be about belief in any theories but unfortunately science is done by humans, who have things such as ego, pride and greed. I’m also not so sure that you know what a conspiracy theory is. Lol. Having a different opinion about history is not a conspiracy theory. It’s a regular theory, just like the mainstream interpretation. They’re all just theories. You call it a “conspiracy theory” as an ad hom so that you can feel better about outright dismissing it. It’s an overcompensation. You mention the dunning-Kruger effect however you’re the one speaking from arrogance here. It’s ok to say that you don’t know, which is what most alternative history people suppose.

I watched a video of him giving a tour through Egypt (back when I was into this stuff) and someone asks him what the historians say the “lightbulb” glyph really is. And he says “Now that, I don’t know…” and then he goes on to say that it’s very clear the image looks like a lightbulb. He literally didn’t even bother to google what the room was before he accepted people’s money and led a tour in there. One google search turns up: the room in the Hathor temple at Dendera “depicts the Egyptian creation myth.” There was another video where he’s touring people through South America and he didn’t know the name of the site. He just called it the megalithic site, but couldn’t remember what its actual name was. Just absolutely lazy. Even when I was a fan of lost ancient high tech, I couldn’t stand him.

I personally have used stones larger than cars in constructing retaining walls. So, am I a megalithic craftsman or builder? (tbh, I guess I almost am... it is that pesky "happened a decade or so ago" part that prevents it from being actually true, given that the term is properly applied to things from the distant past, not-so-much stuff from just a few years ago.) Working with stone of that size really made me appreciate just how skilled people in the past were. It is almost trivial today (almost, because safety is a concern) with the power equipment like the excavators we had. I never really get how people go from "damn, I am impressed that they could do this all those thousands of years ago." to "no way in hell they did this." I mean, it is obvious that it was done, as you can see these all over, someone had to do it and adding in some "other" that did the work with no evidence of this "other" existing, or existing in that area, is one hell of a leap. addendum: We would joke about creating megaliths when we did work like that. And to be fair the word in itself only means giant motherf---er of a stone. And I guess that in the eyes of someone 3k years from now, maybe we did create some megaliths. edit: I don't have a problem with people who, due to lack of knowledge, say things like "I find it hard to believe that _____ built this." That is healthy skepticism. I draw a line when people outright refuse to believe that people could build these things when shown evidence that they did in fact build them. There is no "change my mind" philosophy behind such statements, while that is very much a part of a scientific mindset.

I think what the alternate history fans have to answer is why is it that Rome happened to be founded in a field of random Egyptian obelisks, that didn't influence Roman culture, and weren't even mentioned until they had to make up stories on how they were moved there. Really the late antiquity emperors were quite lucky no one had mentioned some of the largest obelisks until they came to power. And if these alternate history fans can admit that these giant objects were moved by the Romans, why is it that other objects couldn't have been moved by the Romans?

An interesting point about the columns on the Pantheon: these columns (their origins are correctly stated) were not made for the Pantheon; archaeological work unearthed the original plan of that building on the ground right before it (probably as a builder's aid). The original plan was for taller columns, but the columns made for it sank in a storm during transport in the Mediterranean. The Pantheon was to be completed by a very important religious/political festival, so the existing columns were "robbed" off of another, smaller temple. The Pantheon, essentially a large sphere with a rectangular box attached, had to have an extra raised box added to it, which can be seen when looking at the front elevation. The extra box had to be added to balance the proportions, because the columns used were too short. Interestingly, an analogous example exists in Colonial Williamsburg, (Williamsburg, Virginia) which was the British capital of the American colonies before the Revolution. The pediment extending over the porch of the Court House simply hangs in the air with no columns beneath it (that wooden pediment is actually cantilevered from the main structure and columns are not structural requirements). The Brits had made and shipped stone columns for the Court House, but they sank into the Atlantic during a storm while on their way. So the pediment simply hovers over the porch to this day.

Ancient civilizations made all kinds of structures with stone and were far more acquainted with the techniques for working it than we are. Our advanced technologies are devoted towards other purposes since it’s just not as necessary to make such structures. It’s just not cost effective for us and isn’t worth putting the resources into compared to building a space telescope. The “we can’t do it now” argument is no argument. These ancient civilizations were masters at working with stone and obviously developed techniques that we haven’t thought of. If we started devoting our time and energy to building such structures, we would no doubt quickly rediscover such techniques.

Him claiming that the surface of the bottom of one(?) of the column(s) is 'almost laser-flat' - when seeing him 'measuring' and concluding that statement with nothing more than a standard 25cm (or 10 inches) long 90-degrees tool (sorry-don't know the name of the tool in English, but I'm sure you know what I mean) is just ludicrous....that he didn't at least use a 'ruler' (again-don't know what the name of that tool is: the one with water and an airbubble in it?) as long as the column's diameter, at the very least. Well, as someone who's used to work with wood - it really does surprise me, to say the least. How on earth are you supposed to judge, even with your eyes, how 'flat' something is without having at least some kind of tool that's as long as the diameter (and of course-accurately 'flat')? We have, historically at least, for a long time kept underestimating the capabilities of our forefathers.....but - after a couple of centuries of countless finds such as these ones (even totally buried ones), and also written records as well as other strong indicators that strongly suggest that this or that empire or people did in fact erect these impressive monuments themselves (be it preserved on paper, papyrus or clay, etc.) - you'ld think that era would be over by now...? BUT - apparently not, I guess. Sure - these monuments, all over the world are immensely impressive. Without a doubt. Especially when considering that they had to do everything, at every step purely by hand. BUT, again - we mustn't forget that practically EVERYTHING had to be done by hand in those days, which of course means that ALL artifacts, as well as all kinds of artisans in those days were well versed in making everything by hand. Every single 'step' of it...And since there wasn't even a though given to any alternative, since there were none: people probably started to 'work on their skills' from early childhood - not like today, where we have the choice of using modern machinery. Which of course ultimately means that ALL and every artisan, regardless which material used were very well-versed in making all things - from start to finish - entirely by hand! AND - that there must have been a lot more of these artisans. That's at least what my reasoning and logic is telling me. Also - isn't the fact that these guys not only are selling books and making a living out of their 'special theories' a bit suspicious? Especially while they also 'offer' tours where they will "reveal the real truth" about these 'megalithic structures' - for a handsome fee...to me at least it sounds almost a bit 'cultish'!!! *ALARMBELLS!* Sorry, got a little 'worked up' I guess.

To be fair he is not without knowledge on history especially regarding Peru sites. I began though to see problems in the claims being made, most notably the repetitive claim that bronze age technology could not possibly have done this stonework in Peru. I was not seeing any demonstrations of metal work failing or that metal work was even part of the process. Nothing! The correlations only continued as I watched this video.

We could could build them, we have the technology. What we don't have is those that would want to build them. The time and cost to do it, is not worth it to them is the truth of it.

Anyhow, my point was that their team and the other 5 in our lab have discovered so many ancient shipwrecks, ruins, and weird stuff that they had to stop mapping it. Some areas were full of red pins. They both believe that humanity was building things way earlier than academia would believe just from all the old stuff that's sitting around where it shouldn't be.

Same, it can be fun to imagine "what if" but I hadn't realised just how persuasive - and even deceptive - many of that crowd are. At the very least, they engage in heavy cherry picking and "personal incredulity" type reasoning, while discounting anything that doesn't fit with their narrative. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence, and the evidence just isn't in their favour. I also find it pretty insulting that people like Brian don't believe ancient groups of people could have built such amazing things. Just because we live different lives today, and have different technology levels, doesn't mean they didn't have artisans, architects and stone workers who spent their lives honing their craft! It's fascinating to learn about the actual history, it blows my mind, I actually prefer it to wild speculation these days as this actually happened! It's phenomenal and so interesting :)

There's something about having grown up so close to a Deep Hole Granite Quarry semi-famous for a multitude of reasons (including the quality of the stone etc) that makes people's inability to believe that you don't need diamond tools to mine or work stone completely insane to me. the Quarry I grew up near does tours of some of their Quarry holes and shows the old equipment used to mine stones, so I've been aware for ages that iron and steel was good enough for facing, and polish has always been a matter of grit and rubbing. Hell, I've taken stone carving classes, and Granite is one of those stones that is very amenable to carving and finishing (though is also a major risk for silicosis) we didn't use any diamond tools in that carving class either!

We don't do this kind of thing not because we can't, but because we've found easier ways. Does he dismiss castles? Canals? Aqueducts? Bridges? why can't the same people who built the Pantheon and Colosseum also drag giant columns across the Mediterranean? Medieval peasants built hundreds of Cathedrals and mosques and temples and the Great Wall of China with wooden cranes and ropes. What does he think premodern people were capable of doing?

The 330ton Vatican obelisk was moved from Egypt to Rome, it stood for 1500 years until it was relocated in 1585 to it's current position. It took 900men and 140 horses to erect the 330ton obelisk. Sketches can be seen of that moving event. If they could ship and erect a 330ton stone from Egypt, couldn't they also move ('only' side) a 1000ton stone over 900 meters in Baalbek? Likely so. The 1900 year old Trajan's Column has a 53.3 ton capital block that was lifted and placed on 34meter height. Don't underestimate what the Romans were capable of.

Putting a 50-ton granite column on a lathe is utterly impossible. Sorry ancient tech people. Stone has amazing compressibility, and incredible strength when in compression, just like concrete. But it also has no tensile strength, just like concrete. This is why we have to put reinforcing into concrete, and why we create pre-stressed, and/or post-stressed concrete when it has to span a gap. This is also why natural stone arches are quite rare, always arched, always amazing to see, and why they don't last for long. If you tried to pick up a granite column just by each end, it will immediately snap in the middle. A column is only strong in one direction, downwards! Not sideways! A lathe only supports the workpiece at each end, and it drives only one end. I know this very well, because I have a lathe, and have used them for decades. Wood is a very amazing substance, and it has incredible strength in both compression AND in tension, and that is why we build our houses out of wood. Wood is easy to lathe because it retains a lot of tensile strength even when the cross-section is small. No stone has the tensile strength to support 25 feet of cantilever with just 5 feet of diameter! Only reinforced concrete, or massive and tall wooden beams, or huge steel I-beams can handle such enormous cantilever loads. Unreinforced concrete would fail instantly - just as granite would in the same scenario. So, anyone who suggests you can put a 50-ton, 50-foot piece of stone in a lathe is an absolute idiot and knows nothing about lathes, or stone, or how wood differs from stone. So it is a pretty spectacular failure to anyone with even a little knowledge of the physical world. Once again - sorry, ancient tech guys. I know you really believe this bullshit, but as Mark Twain (Mr Samuel Clemns) famously said, "It is much easier to fool a man than to convince him he has been fooled." The truth hurts you so much, because you are emotionally invested in lies and falsehoods. And to admit you have been deceived, and now wish to understand the facts is a very difficult thing to do, because it involves being honest with yourself, and requires you to admit your mistakes to yourself. That is not an easy thing to do. And once you do accept your mistaken beliefs, you also need to accept what you have done and said in the pursuit of justification for your bizarre beliefs. You have appeared very foolish to a very large number of people. And not just foolish: wilfully and aggressively so. I have been fooled by people in the past. It is no fun, and I feel a bit sad for all of you.

@@lifes40123 GGGGGGGGreat to hear from you. There are so many known unknowns that it's good to know some things. Concrete was used all those millenia ago. But they knew a lot more. This is my research on The Great Pyramid of Giza. 1. It is 3/60th of a single degree of true north 2. It weighs 6 million tons 3. Its footprint is 13 acres 4. It is more than 755.9 feet along each side 5. It is 146.75 meters high 6. It has more than 2.3 million individual blocks of stone 7. It is locked into the Cardinal dimensions of our planet; The dimensions of the Earth are incorporated into its dimensions. 8. If you take the height and multiply it by 43,200 you get the polar radius of the Earth 9. If you measure the base perimeter of the pyramid accurately and multiply that measurement by 43,200 you get the equatorial circumference of the Earth 10. The scale is not random, the number 43,200 is derived from a key motion of the Earth, which is called the precession of the Earth’s axis 11. The Earth wobbles on its axis very slowly at the rate of 1 degree every 72 years; 43,200 is a multiple of 72; 600 X 72 12. So; they’ve given us the dimensions of the planet in The Great Pyramid of Giza on a scale defined by the planet itself 13. There are several 70-ton blocks of stone raised 300 feet above the ground 14. It has eight sides, and at the spring equinox and the autumn equinox one side of the pyramid is in the shade in the morning and again in the late afternoon and can only be seen from the air-as far as my research has shown. 15. It is a calendar 16. It has expansion joints 17. It is located at the exact intersection of the longest line of latitude and the longest line of longitude of the Earth, in other words The Great Pyramid is located at the precise center of the Earth’s land mass. 18. The builders possessed highly sophisticated knowledge of mathematics and geometry 19. The builders had knowledge of the true dimensions of the Earth to extreme precision 20. The builders possessed exceptionally advanced technical instrumentation to site The Great Pyramid 21. Pi = C over D Phi = Divided by 5 + 1 over 2. Archimedes discovered Pi about 250 BC, but Egyptians knew of it 2,250 years earlier 22. The Great Pyramid is 146.75 m high, its height X a million equals the distance from the Earth to the sun 23. If you subtract the inner circle from the outer circle of the circumference of The Great Pyramid, you get the speed of light in meters to four decimal points: 299,792,458 meters per second 24. The weight of The Great Pyramid is 5,273, 000 tons and that multiplied by a billion is the weight of the Earth 25. If you divide the perimeter of The Great Pyramid by ½ its height, the result is 3.14 = Pi 26. The three inner rooms; the king’s chamber, the queen’s chamber and the unfinished chamber under the pyramid are proportional to the distances between Mercury, Venus and the Earth. 27. The distance from The Great Pyramid to the North Pole is the same as the distance from The Great Pyramid to the center of the Earth. 28. The height of The Great Pyramid 146.75 m X 1 million = the distance from the Earth to the sun. 29. The weight of The Great Pyramid 5,273, 000 tons X 1 billion = the weight of the Earth. 30. If you divide the perimeter of the pyramid by 1/2 its height the result is 3.14 pi h/2 = pi These are of course mere coincidences that happen by chance... 31. The base side length is 364.242 which is exactly the time in days it takes for the earth to orbit the sun. 32. The high chamber is built on a double square, which leads us to the gplden ratio geometry 33. Pyramids in China, Mexico and Egypt align with the Orion star system...

All the best to you and your family. EDIT: To me the picture showing the tunnel with different sized stones the stones to the side look like being exposed to fire or smoke from fire. Following the line the same stones seem to brighten up in direction of the opening door. But it could be also just an optical illusion due to the sunlight shining in.

I've watched lots of those videos from those guys. There really is only one argument when it comes to the big rocks, moving and carving them. Could ancient people have done this or not? I found plenty of KZbinrs showing exactly how they did it. Hard work yes but it's not like these ancient people had regular 9-5 jobs and did this in their spare time. This was their life's work, they had the time and of course they got really good at it. I have often wondered if some prehistoric advanced civilization could have existed then completely disappeared without a trace of the advanced technology they had. I am completely open to this, just waiting on solid evidence. 🙂

@@mixer6166 there is no proof of how the ancient Peruvians cut and carved the megalithic polygonal ashlar masonry. There's no bronze saws, no evidence of copper or bronze chisels. Experts can't explain sascayhuaman and many other such sites. The ones that do claim to know are merely postulating theory's and are showing their hubris by thinking they know 100%

I work on cnc processing of granite and marble ...You have no idea how difficult it is to work even today with such accuracy and dimensions ...I don't know who created Baalbeck but the story is definitely different .If you do not believe it, learn CNC machining yourself and show us how you process such columns and how long it will take you ....Your problem is theory and lack of practice ...

That aswan granite was transported by Rome. However they found it already cut into huge 100 ton plus pieces. Pre flood cities. Which they cut to and plundered for their use. Destroying huge monuments and buildings now lost to time.
