I find ancient undocumented history (anything not destroyed or
Obfuscated eg. Library of Alexandria) fascinating!
I doubt that we will ever know the absolute truth, although I believe we will keep uncovering juicy tidbits of our past that one day will paint a clearer picture of who we are and where our true origins lie.
Nice thread!

How did ancients lift 800-1200 ton stones at Balbek? Not sure I've ever heard a great explanation. I know I know, "it was the Romans (tm)."

(Haven't read the entire thread, so sorry if this has been covered). Seems to be a quite massive burden of proof on how the perfectly precise grooves and "rivets" on the H-blocks of Puma Punku -- which was an ancient complex or temple of some sort that was mysteriously blown apart (by what had to be a supermassive force) -- could have been done with only copper or stone tools. That stonework is very apparently exactly what it very strongly appears to be: good evidence of advanced machining in ancient times. Doesn't necessarily denote aliens, but clearly lost science, technology.

maybe these polygonal structures are the same people moving from one place to another... the incas admit they didn't build the huge megalithic walls... they were there when they arrived...

Well, either ancient civilizations were interconnected and came into contact with each other in the past(which archaeologists say was impossible) , or a long-lost mother culture predates all of the ancient civilizations on Earth, and it is from this mother culture that ancient civilization such as the Aztecs and Egyptians inherited their knowledge from.

They moved the little ones, the trilithons the 2-4th heaviest stones moved by humans. The big heavy ones approximately 1-1200 tons were never moved...probably because it exceeded their ability to do so
Very, very few heavy stones were moved in ancient times - Why? Because it fricken hard to do and they need a long time, superior rope technology, and the will to do so.

How did they move the Trilithon ones, and get them up into place? Honest question.

I tend to believe that there is more to history than we are being taught.
