I applaud your willingness to learn after your rather unseccessful thread from yesterday. I'm no researcher so i'll leave that to the pros here.
Good luck in your quest for knowledge my friend.

Lol thank you mate, what do you mean by unsuccessful? I have my own ideas, I wasn't trying to convince anyone, just explaining my pov (I guess you are referring to ChaoticOrder's post on Dark Matter).
EDIT: oh if you mean unsuccesful as "I was unable to make my point" then sure you are right.

The details of the stone work in such places show a technology of some kind was used to cut and shape these stones....
The regularity,tight fit, and the absolutely perfect geometry of some examples preclude any chisel work and show that some form of machining was done to produce them.
Perfect bore holes and absolutely square corners etc...do not lend themselves to copper or even meteoric iron tools.....
The is an Obleisk in Egypt which lies unfinished in a quarry....why...because the tool they were using to form the top point put too much pressure on the stone and broke it......
The obelisk remains with three sides cut and the bottom un detached from it native rock......
An Advanced Civilisation was destroyed by catastrophic circumstances 12000 years ago more or less....and this wasn't the first time either....

They used band saws made of copper to carve stone. It would be quite simple to mark out circle shapes in wood using something similar to a compass set. Mark out a circle on a piece of wood, use a band saw to remove the edges. Attach the band saw to the circumference of your cylinder block of wood and you have a circular drill. Add a few nails to keep everything in place and you have a circular drill.

I have never see any of these stones.
But the question is always there as to how they were made so precise.
So in assuming the experts know what they are talking about.
As to whether they are or not precise I do not know.

I think ancients had some technoques we arent aware of. I find it interesting that there are many legends of the ancients getting help from space people as well.

What precision are you referring to? Every single example of ancient stonework I have ever seen tested, is not 'precise' at all. There are always variances, and they are always within the range of what you would expect to see given the tools and methods used in their construction.
