I’m convinced they used some method which is now lost to us, you can’t make beautiful intricate carvings in hard stone by knapping with flint or work those materials with tools that are softer than them.
Even if you can cut a straight line of bore a hole with quartz finings embedded in bronze, it will take lots of time and effort, and that doesn’t explain how a statue is made or the perfect right angles were produced in very hard stone. Bronze chisels and the like can’t do it.
Actually you can. www.youtube.com...
Ancients in all civilizations could work hard stone. Yet you want us to believe that some magical technology existed in Sumerian, Egyptian, Inca,Maya, Han, etc., civilizations - separated by thousands of years that used no infrastructure, no resources, left no traces and was not used to make better weapons of war?

During a massive global flood you would expect even stone structures could be destroyed by rushing waters carrying very large bolders that would in turn strike anything in its path. I have seen ruins that are completely upside-down as I suspect from the massive flooding.
Problem is that there was not a Biblical style flood - lots of local floods however and rising sea levels. So, no idea what you are on about.
We have already established there once was a highly advanced civilization capable of creating stone wonders, and if that be the case, then there is no reason to suspect they did not have the capabilities of warfare and forward thinking, and the destruction of the same.
Nope that has not been established, what has been established is that ancient civilizations leave behind massive amounts of remains and are easily detected. Currently no 'highly advanced civilization' has been detected.
As far as the "Great Hall" of records, it is being recovered, little by little, bit by bit. Inch by inch out of the mud, or by the pot full as with the Nag Hamadi, dead sea scrolls. Recently a petrified urchin was discovered on one of the Pyramid building blocks indicating they were at one time, under water.
Nope you were lied to no such thing was found. The limestone of Giza was formed during the Middle Eocene Mokattam Formation which dates to the Eocene Epoch, lasting from 56 to 33.9 million years ago and yes it has fossils in it
Deleted a lot of made up stuff....

I am talking about the remains that have been preserved well enough where some analysis could be done.
Enough exist presently and there certainly more to be found that escape us.

Love how you state your opinions as the utter truth.

For the sake of argument, only, if, and I stress if, if there is a fossilized urchin, clearly a water organism, sitting on top of one of the stones, any stone, then either someone with super glue is playing a practical joke, or, it was placed there, naturally.
For it to be placed there naturally, then it becomes another mindset that is going to destroy the accepted theories and timelines of the region.

We have not idea if this is what they found, we have no idea if those names are of real people, we have no idea if the story has any basis whatsoever. To me in sounds more like creationist propaganda - but hey provide the evidence it was real and I'll believe....

Well I tell ya what. Why don't you go out of your way and research that story for us. Run the names down, track the photo, do some investigative journalism. Come back and share your findings. You might even shoot Jimmy Bright insight a email and ask if he know anything about the subject, yes he has had boots on the ground there too. Maybe this is your chance to shine.
You might or might not find anything, thats the chances you take. Its a lot better than appearing to be a negative Nancy all the time.
And dont suggest I do it, I still have my hands full of the Richat.
P.S. And dont expect to get any answers from the "Experts". Its not something they are selling...
