You realize "whats going on" when you take off religious glasses and take off darwinist/atheist glasses and then start reading the ancient texts (I linked to the Enoch texts for example). Thats the trick. But it takes a lot of study...
...because our religious friends have burned, trashed, suppressed, distorted so much.
In other words...try re-constructing history after its been through the filters of the religious and of the darwinists. Its tough.

Pyramids built before the flood, extraterrestrial presence and their sexual relations with humans, the destruction of mankind as a punishment for interbreeding, radioactive fallout, advanced weaponry, genetic engineering, its all been written down in ancient texts.

Well, unfortunately there´s no quickie-consume way to go about this.

Once the existence of extraterrestrial races or "a universe teeming with life" is discovered...the next logical step will be to realize that these have been active in the universe since millions of years. This will dwarf the isolationist view currently held by the academia which you represent so well.

Yes. Thanks for sharing the experience. Ive had many similar experiences. Thats why mainstreamers assertion "there is no reason at all to look into this" falls on deaf ears, no matter how often they repeat it.

oh yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeees they do. With every piece of daily scoffing and ridicule do they desire that people loose interest.
Originally posted by SkyfloatingWhy do you think fringe books are more bestselling than mainstream books on the subject? choice oneIs it because they are more sensationalist and dreamy? Maybe. But maybe its choice 2 because they hit an intuitive notch with people, something deep with in the subconscious memory.

Materials and workforce needed to build the Great pyramid as said by several experts.
Polish architect Wieslaw Kozinski; 20 men to transport a 1.5-ton stone block from where it was extracted from the ground, to the building site.
Based on this, he estimated the workforce to be 300,000 men on the construction site, with an additional 60,000 off-site.
Egyptologist Miroslav Verner; posited that the labor was organized into a hierarchy, consisting of two gangs of 100,000 men, divided into five zaa or phyle of 20,000 men each, which may have been further divided according to the skills of the workers.
For instance, mathematician Kurt Mendelssohn calculated that the workforce may have been 50,000 men at most, while Ludwig Borchardt and Louis Croon placed the number at 36,000.
According to Verner, a workforce of no more than 30,000 was needed in the Great Pyramid's construction.
A construction management study (testing) carried out by the firm Daniel, Mann, Johnson, & Mendenhall in association with Mark Lehner and other Egyptologists, estimates that the total project required an average workforce of 14,567 people and a peak workforce of 40,000.
The Egyptologists' calculations suggest the workforce could have sustained a rate of 180 blocks per hour (3 blocks/minute) with ten hour work days for putting each individual block in place.
They derived these estimates from construction projects that did not use modern machinery.
Without the use of pulleys, wheels, or iron tools, they surmise the Great Pyramid was completed from start to finish in approximately 10 years.
Pyramid Builders' Village Found in Egypt
Brian Handwerk, new evidence uncovered at Giza is adding to our knowledge of who built the great pyramids, and how they accomplished this timeless feat.
The University of Chicago/Harvard University Giza Plateau Mapping Project, sponsored in part this season by National Geographic and led by archaeologist Mark Lehner, has made several new discoveries in an area lying south of the Sphinx near the workers' cemetery.
The area, often called the "workers' village," is the site of a vast community that thrived some 4,500 years ago on the Giza Plateau. It may have housed as many as 20,000 people.

Well I am looking and I don't see a logical progression. What I see is a major spike in complexity, accuracy, and precision with Giza from the 'prior' attempts and then a sudden tail off. There is something out of order here....
According to the currently accepted theories of Egyptology, Khufu built the great pyramid. His son, Djedefre, built the structure pictured below. In the background of the second picture, you can see, in the distance, the pyramids of Giza. Was there a bit of a "drop-off" in pyramid building quality from father to son? This scenario is supposed to be logical and based on science.
