Any idiot with two eyes can see the technological feats of the past surpass what we are capable of today....
get a grip in reality....
Perhaps you never heard of the horrible # that has been heaped upon reputable scientists for speaking against the paradigm
There sure weren't slaves with copper chisels boring accurate holes in granite back then....explain those holes ...
Or a thousand other pieces of stone work that even we cannot accomplish without technology of the first order....
Carbon dating has its own problems..
Smirk all you want.....Archaelogy is a game of fools, when it comes to anything they cant fit into their world view.....

In 4 billion years im sure there were other races of beings, or civilisations of high technology that came before us....
Evidence is mounting....
We will see Archaeology discredited as a science eventually....and exposed for what they made it into....
Spoken like a true tinfoil hat wearing conspiracy theorist
Add any other science into that sentence and you can clearly see how laughable it is
"We will see Medicine discredited as a science eventually....and exposed for what they made it into"
"We will see Physics discredited as a science eventually....and exposed for what they made it into"
"We will see Chemistry discredited as a science eventually....and exposed for what they made it into"
"We will see Geology discredited as a science eventually....and exposed for what they made it into"
So your anti science bias is clearly showing, what you don't seem to understand, is that unlike "belief" science builds on itself, so is in fact, impossible to ever discredit, You seem to think that Archaeology is just one thing (because you know nothing about it), but its made up of many different disciplines, an equitable example would be, discrediting Chemistry, you can start by discrediting Carbon molecules, see how you get on...

Hmm, where exactly is bandersnatch displaying an 'anti science bias' ? You are taking his/her words completely
out of context and filling in your own. saying Archaeology 'will be discredited as a science' isn't saying they are
anti science.
Also when it is a scientific theory it
is just that, a THEORY. Not proven science.

Uh, yeah, it pretty much is.

You don't seem to understand what 'scientific theory' means.

What makes you think I share the same beliefs as someone else here?
I hear you about scientific theory, but it is still a proposition at the end of the day, while based on facts, not necessarily scientific undisputed 'law'

So what? What were they boring them with exactly? Oh yeah sand at the end of a stick, that makes sense, it would only take about a century to bore a small hole in some of the hardest stones they carved, and how the exact straight edges to them,

I don't have a dog in this fight but. You and I both know the smooth tightly fitting outer casing stones were stripped away centuries ago leaving us with the exposed blocks weathered and worn. Nowhere near what a marvel of Ancient Engineering it once was in it's original condition.
It's disingenuous to imply otherwise.
At first glance, the sides of the Giza Pyramids, stripped of most of their smooth outer casing during the Middle Ages, look like regular steps. These are actually the courses of backing stones, so called because they once filled in the space between the pyramid core and outer casing. However, a closer examination reveals that the steps are not at all regular. In fact, rather than regular, modular, squared blocks of stone neatly stocked, there is considerable "slop factor", even in the Great Pyramid of Khufu.
Not only are the backing stones irregular, they are also progressively smaller toward the top. Behind the backing stones, the core stones are actually even more irregular. We know this because, in the 1830s, Howard Vyse blasted a hole in the center of the south side of Khufu's's Pyramid while looking for another entrance. This wound in the pyramid can still be seen today, and in it, we can see how the builders dumped great globs of mortar and stone rubble in wide spaces between the stones. Here, there are big blocks, small chunks of rock, wedge shaped pieces, oval and trapezoidal pieces, as well as smaller stone fragments jammed into spaces as wide as 22 centimeters between larger blocks.
I'll take that apology whenever you're ready

I was referring to the smooth outer casing stones. Didn't you read the first sentence of your own source?

They are not seamless
4,600+ years worth of Earthquakes, Wind, Rain weathering, floods, not to mention, people monkeying around with the site and you think that they would still be as perfectly in place as they once were when a "Pharaoh" Kafre for example, demanded perfection for his supposed tomb?
The Washington Monument in DC, Has joints that are almost seamless yet after the fairly recent earthquake they had to close it down and refurbish the monument. Nobody has refurbished the Great Pyramid in oh, I dunno, in a couple of thousand years I'd say.
