Natural Stone seems to be the only thing that endures through millenniums. It can endure in deep space as well. Pick an asteroid hollow it out, fit the high tech engines, and the only thing to worry about is the transit vehicle down to a planets surface. Its the most efficient way for a large ship. Park the asteroid in orbit etc. Phobos and Deimos seem to have a bit of strangeness to them, come to that so does our moon. I suppose its ours. Makes sense.

The answer to one question only is conclusive.
Can the great pyramid be duplicated today? If not then it rewrites history. Period
I don't think it could be exactly replicated. Not even close. Even without unions.
I think people forget it's 40 friggin story's high.
With just human power and beer money.
Good luck wit dat.
Maybe Budweiser could pull it off?

Could be an indication that the rulers of the day were not patient enough to entertain dreams of metallurgical accomplishments.
They had brilliant astronomers, mathematicians and stone masons who could sell a stone pyramid dream to the leaders.
Typically mechanically minded people that dream up advanced technology are out of synch with the more extroverted thinking leadership.

I find the motivation required to even
imagine such an undertaking a wonder of great magnitude
all by itself. Why would anyone build such a thing? And it's
still giving up secrets that can't be explained away like
has been done in the past.
Think of the past when you had a lot of free time to do things. We tend to think in days weeks a few short years...I think back then they didn't have such a hyper thought process and if something took 100 years then so be it.

Spears are the remains of technology (which was the subject, remember,) and they weren't fossilized.
That you don't see the difference is telling.
Perhaps you should avoid characterizing others' logic until you get some of your own.

Dude, i think you're pulling my leg. There is also remains of tools half a million years old in the shape of stones used to cut and shape other things. Obviously theyre not fossils nor did i assume they are the same thing. My point should have been simple enough that like fossils, whether be hundred thousand year old arrows, million year old shaped stones or 30,000 year old Atlantian technology, either of which wont last time, only a fraction will survive depending how it was left in what environment. The fact the only things left of Atlantis is their colonies isn't surprising, since their island was swallowed up by the ocean Unless we make real strides to journey into the oceans beneath, the only real structures of their legacy will be the colonies that fled.
Also, just to illuminate the facts of what has of recent been discovered at the bottom of the ocean.

Ever work on a farm?
Not a lot of free time in a day, let alone a year.
If that is true they could do that, they were trully more advanced than we are.
This is something that has become apparent to me, depending on the timelines involved. The true "Stone Age"??

If you look through this , it has not only the same architectural style of building technique , but virtually the same carvings , found all over the world as well.

If a four thousand year old Indian book tells a person how to make a battery, and then the modern guy makes one and demonstrates it lighting a LED and turning a motor. Even though these batteries have been found outside of India as well. A modern person would be obliged to think that their is some thing worrying about the main stream idea of our past. If you go to 5mins in, it shows it working.
