In the modern era there is some confusion as to what exactly is advanced and what is not. I'm going to flat out tell you that the pyramid constructions myths are all lies. We know exactly how they were built, and they are most certainly not advanced. No more advanced than a child's play toy lego.
There's a whole history behind the pyramid which shows this. The truth is that the Giza pyramid is the last in some dozen or so construction projects of the Egyptians. Actually, a construction series going back some 150 years. The Giza pyramid is not the only one, and it is only "perfect" because most of the other ones were all failures. Let me tell you a story, my friend. A story of architectural development and evolution. One of Earth'f first architectural developments, research, and cultural movements.
The year is 2750 BC. Pharaoh Zoser leads the mighty empire of Egypt. Like his father and his father before him, going back who knows how long, the tradition was to build a traditional large square mound for burial grounds, known as a mastaba. While looking around, he suddenly decides his tomb should be a mountain to be awed at over all who come after him. He ordered Imhotep, chief architect of his oligarchy, to figure out how to do it. Imhotep orders a second mastaba to be built on top of the first mastaba. But nay, this is not enough. He orders a third, then a forth. A mighty step-pyramid is built. Small to other pyramids to come, but special at this time. Zoser says nay, and he orders more. So Imhotep enlarges the base, and adds 2 more levels. And so stood the first pyramid ever created on Earth.

However, there were many many errors in the pyramid. The bricks were angled, incorrectly thinking that this would make them more stable. In actuality, they made the core compress and buckle. Zoser was not the first. Over the next decades to come, more experiments where done.
They made another pyramid with angled bricks.

And again, they built bigger with this style, incorrectly thinking they were stable.
This method continued with the mighty pharaoh Sneferu. Sneferu was an experimental construction artist, building many different pyramids, disvocering what worked and what did not. They built with angled bricks until the fail-pyramid. This pyramid compressed, buckled, and imploded, causing what remains today.

The pyramids of this era under Sneferu had different angles, different heights, and were very experimental. Sneferu did not yet find what "worked", if you will. They labored, building more. The bent pyramid was built as an experiment of angles. The question was posed "what angle works best", so thus they built this massive experiment,

Over some more decades, Sneferu came to discover what worked (flat horizontal bricks) and what did not. Finally, they built a prototype for the future giza pyramid. A prototype to test what they had learned. It was the red pyramid, also known as the north pyramid.

The experimentation went on with some other prototypes as well after Sneferu. Many more prototypes were built. It was leading to something. Something grand.
Finally, after a long 150 to 200 years of experimentation, research, development, evolution, and learning, it was time to build the last pyramid.
Pharaoh Khafra took all the knowledge learned, and put it to good use. He built the great pyramid of Khafra.

Only after all of that, did Pharaoh Khufu build the great pyramid of Giza.

And as to how it was built, we know that too. We have found underground tunnels that allowed bricks to be built up.

So ends the mighty tale of the Egyptian pyramids. The experimentation and discoveries continued, but never brought about something better. Never again did Egypt build such a pyramid. Never again did they muster the need for something better. It was their apex.
No aliens, no oddness. Simply 150-200 years of development. Noting strange or mystical. Simply human engineering.
Now as to advancements in the modern era, the same is true. The truth is that we see a clear developmental line. Before the microchip, we used macro chips., Bill gates and a team of folks simply made it smaller. Before fiber optics, there were plastics and light bending techniques.
There is nothing strange. No sudden jumps. Just an illusion. God gave us a brain. We used it. We made all things we have.
The truth is that we are advancing at an exponential rate. We have been advancing exponential since 50,000 years ago,

We continue to exponentially grow. Occasionally a destruction event occurs that sops us (the fall of Rome, for example). But once we get ourselves together, we get back on the track.

So that's the story you want to put your name in?
what a funny story...there's only one problem...do you really believe those old pyramids were some kind of training...please...educate your self properly about this subject...

educate your self properly...go to the locations...see the things...feel the things by your self...
Keep on reading those stories for little kids and sheep's and you'll go far...
you're the only one that have failed kid...you failed with yourself...
peace
