I'm just happy ATS is still standing and able to function considering nobody, including the mods, has all the keys to the kingdom any longer.
But here's a question that always lingers for me: if the Egyptians had such advanced knowledge and techniques, why did no other structures of this magnitude and precision emerge after a certain period of time?
The recipe for Greek fire was a closely-guarded state secret; historians have variously speculated that it was based on saltpeter, sulfur, or quicklime, though most modern scholars agree that it was based on petroleum mixed with resins, comparable in composition to modern napalm. Byzantine sailors would toss grenades loaded with Greek fire onto enemy ships or spray it from tubes.
Freemasonry or Masonry refers to various fraternal organisations that trace their origins to the local guilds of stonemasons that, from the end of the 14th century, regulated the qualifications of stonemasons and their interaction with authorities and clients. Freemasonry is the oldest fraternity in the world and among the oldest continued organizations in history
On arrival they would of had all kinds of crazy tech to make the journey. As for having the skills, technology and resources to keep that technology maintained would become a big problem and quickly lost in time.
New statues found in Göbekli Tepe and Karahan Tepe
According to a recent press announcement by the Turkish Ministry of Culture and Tourism, archaeologists in Turkey have uncovered several new monumental statues and architectural elements at Göbekli Tepe and Karahan Tepe. These findings are part of the ongoing “Stone Hills Project,” an archaeological endeavor.
Remarkable new discoveries are coming out of the ground in southeast Turkey, bringing both Gobekli Tepe (9600 BC) and Karahan Tepe (9400 BC) back into the spotlight. Located just 23 miles (37 km) southeast of Göbekli Tepe, Karahan Tepe is part of the Taş Tepeler (Stone Hills) project. While excavations began in 2019, the site has been known to archaeologists since 1997.
Karahan Tepe is home to the oldest winter solstice alignment ever recorded and covers an area larger than Göbekli Tepe. But it was only in September 2023 that a new enclosure at the top of the hill revealed two remarkable statues, both unique to the site.
Now, I’m no conspiracy theorist, but the video got me thinking: How did the Egyptians manage to build such precise and massive structures without modern tools?
Learning from the failure at Meidum, Sneferu's architects designed the Bent Pyramid, which featured a change in the angle of inclination midway through its construction. This adjustment likely prevented a collapse, but resulted in the pyramid's unique bent shape.
Sneferu's final pyramid, the Red Pyramid, is considered the first successful true pyramid. Its smooth sides and consistent angle of inclination set the standard for future pyramid construction, paving the way for the Great Pyramid of Khufu.
The Evolution of Pyramids
There are no markings or stories found in the Gaza pyramids so far
The Great Pyramid of Giza has hieroglyphs of red paint on its walls, which were marked by the workers who were building the pyramid with the names of their gangs, including the pharaoh's name. Every upper passage, chamber, gallery and shaft inside the Great Pyramid of Giza is an incredibly old, unmistakable, megalithic Hieroglyph for the words seba and rut for "Ensouling Star door" and "Tunnel Opening gate". The hieroglyphic letters inscribed in the logbook were written more than 4,500 years ago by a middle-ranking inspector named Merer who detailed over the course of several months the construction operations for the Great Pyramid.

Göbekli Tepe and the open air museum was Turkey trying to make money out of archaelogical tourism and protect the site.

Aliens building the Pyramids is a nice idea but it ignores the brilliance of their true creators , the Egyptians.
