We have nothing and I mean nothing of a race of giants, nothing of aliens, nothing of some ancient high-tech society. You guys live on speculation, assumptions and wild ass guesses...hehe
You say the statement " Which is more plausible" but you only give one side, so I'll give what I see as more plausible.
6 million years ago our ancestors were the same as the chimpanzees. That ancestor may have looked more like a monkey than human, but the relationship to us and chimps would still be the same. After homo branched off just like life has done on earth for billions of years. We actually branched off a few more times with homo Rhodesian, Homo Erectus and Homo Neanderthal as good examples of branches before Homo Sapiens showed up. At the beginning of Homo Sapiens about 300k years ago there may have been four Homo species still on the planet, but only Neanderthal over lapped for any period of time.
We do have Neanderthal DNA in us at 3% across all humans, and what this means is there was some interbreeding, but very early in our history. There was no interbreeding 50k years ago...
One could ask why, and the answer is species change to a new species in about 200k to 1 million years. If we went back in time 200k years ago man would be a little different and we could most likely breed...going back farther we would reach a point like the horse and donkey were they could breed by the off spring is sterile, and so the difference in DNA is reaching the point where interbreeding cannot be done. As we go back farther we run into a different species of homo. This is evolution and how it is with all life on earth, except with the exceptions of humans in your world. This is also why we only have a fixed 3% of Neanderthal DNA in us as interbreeding was only capable in our very early days.
With that said, we just do not have the blue print for ancient civilizations to build up and wiped out over and over. 2.5 million years ago we saw the start of stone tools, we also see these stone tools get better and better across all homo species, we then saw wood and metal used more as homo advanced, but it wasn't until Homo Sapiens came along that pushed this technology forward in the last 25k years, and we still see that steady advancement starting with stone tools and on too with Homo Sapiens.
The problem other than nothing to show for it...where does your world of aliens and ancient civilizations that are so old they are dust today fit in all this....it doesn't...if we go back too far your ancient civilizations were not homo in the least and too soon there would be proof all over the place. Your stone building examples are all done in recent times of 6000 years or newer, so I do not see them built with ancient machines and knowledge that just happened to get lost in the last few 1000 years. Not to mention why build with raw stone if you have advance knowledge and machines?...I don't see us building raw stone sky scrapers...etc
In the end I would say you are on to nothing but a good Terry Brooks storyline sorry to say....

Alright, explain "A New Look At An Old Design"...

You'll say these primitives just happened to roll the dice to pick these locations.
Maybe you'll also say that it proves nothing.
I see it as the remains of a Global Civilization which once traveled around the world.
Literally illustrated here.
Could have been the Equator at one time. The significance of that? Well had they been built around the time of an Ice Age, the Equator's a nice place to keep yourself warm.
Regardless, I think it speaks for itself.
Maybe they were the fallen angels,the watchers,demons who came to earth in the shape and form of humanoid men,who mated with earth women, perhaps amazonian females,giving birth to mutated offspring and they became the race of giants who once roamed the earth and constructed the megalithic architecture all over the world and who were destroyed by the annunaki during an intentionally created flood,perhaps by rapidly melting the glaciers of earths most recent ice age with powerful lasars fired from orbiting spaceships.Their battles and that deluge became the original inspiration for our myths and legends of gods and godesses,heaven and hell and world wide floods...

There was a similar but little different race of beings that could mate with the human females. this cross is what formed our present human race. I just read an article that stated that the present human female line goes back about thirty thousand years and the male line goes back 20 thousand years. That means that something mated with females for ten thousand years before present man showed up. Another words some race of manlike beings were mating with the females creating offspring.

Not everyone in the world is a middle class urban American. Please try to open your mind and look outside the small little box you have isolated yourself in. There is a whole world out there that you are denying exists!
Here is another question you can run away from
Why would a slash and burn agriculturist abandon his way of life and become a 'cave man'.....now deny away!edit on 29/4/12 by Hanslune because: (no reason given)

And just what the heck are you trying to say? Not everyone is a middle class urban American: correct. What of it? Lots of people out there are Really screwed by the society they're forced to labor in for pennies an hour. What's the point? It all basically boils down to a slave society where we're kept in our places by the almighty dollar while everyone keeps preaching how they have "Freedom" endlessly.
As for the magical second question... If your World were wiped away and you were forced to live under Very primitive conditions you would effectively Be a cave man. A generation or two later your descendants wouldn't even possess knowledge of living any differently in any other world. Eventually that "other world" is transformed into a myth through oral legends passed along.

Heres my view on our true history thats been supressed from the masses for a very long time...
I believe that there were a group of royal bloodline elites who ruled atlantis and they held special knowledge and abilities passed down to them from ages past.The atlanteans were well aware of cyclic cataclysms and they fled the cosmic disaster they were warned of and knew was coming, leaving their supressed common people behind and blissfully unaware of what was headed their way...
One group of atlantean elites escaped eastwards and settled,or should i say landed,in what we now call the middle east and they appeared from the sky as gods to the prehistoric natives that were living there.These elites became their leaders,the kings and queens of babylon,sumeria,egypt ect,ect and they were responsible for the design and construction of the great pyramid,sphinx and other such structures and they wielded weapons and technologies brought with them from atlantis which made them appear like supremely powerful,divine beings...
Another group of atlantean elites escaped westwards and landed in what is now called central america and they were idolized and worshiped as gods by the awe struck natives who were living there and these elites became their leaders,the rulers of the incas,toltecs,aztecs,mayans ect,ect and these elites were responsible for the design and construction of the pyramid of the sun and other such megaliths...
The lineage of these elites and their royal bloodlines extended onwards through time to become the kings and queens of england,austria,spain,russia,france,england ect,ect and even the popes,to eventually become the world leaders of today,who have maintained their wealth and power,special abilities,secret technologies and hidden knowledge they pass down to eachother from generation to generation...
Thats exactly why our present day elite world leaders have atomic bomb proof shelters prepared for themselves, to preserve their bloodlines through and beyond the approaching cyclic cataclysms they already know are headed our way again.Just like their atlantean ancestors who did the same and they will arise out of their blast proof bunkers to rule and control the shell shocked people left on the surface who happen to survive...
Then one day,without warning,they'll hear a strange sound,they'll look up and see approaching craft descending from the sky,piloted by the royal bloodline elites,soon to be their kings and queens,their leaders,their gods...
Who will dominate and control them with seemingly magical abilities and weapons that the shell shocked masses left on the surface will no longer have accesss to,the technologies we take for granted today and secret weapons and abilities they have right now that we dont even know about, just like their atlantean ancestors did.Technologies and weapons they have stockpiled within their bunkers along with elite sentinels,which all will be used against us,to control and dominate us when the dawn of their new world arises...again...
If our present day world leaders suddenly start taking off and going on what we'll be told are extended thanks giving and early christmas holidays,towards the end of 2012,we'll know what they're really doing and we'll know where they're really going,down into their atomic bomb proof bunkers, where they'll ride the storm out...Imo....
Just like this huge and immensely protected bunker is > en.wikipedia.org...

Would fisherman forget how to fish from fish traps and off shore?
Would slash and burn farmers forget how to do that?
Would Africa pastorists forget out to herd cattle?
Nope

The only problem with this theory besides archaeological evidence that is.I think you would have seen unusual technology jumps. Foe example if we bombed ourselves back to the stone ages and i survived i know how to make black powder. So i can skip that whole spear stage and go straight to a black powder gun.

Give me a timeline of what you are talking about...BTW much of what I wrote wasn't what you learned in school...some broad brush strokes maybe, but that is rather up to date as in not too many years ago it was somewhat different.
