I'm not discounting aliens but i would say that ancient people were waaaaaay smarter and more advanced than we ever thought.

And this is what happens when you drop out of school and watch ancient aliens all day.

I don't believe we're alone in the universe but these are probably just lost technology. If I were an alien, why would I travel a million light-years to show someone how to carve a rock. If there were megalithic structures made out of unknown materials or assembled in an even more mind blowing way, then we could pose the ancient alien questions. Platinum pyramids? Yes! Rock/mud brick structures...Nah.

The actual retarded part is that a bunch of aliens, capable of traveling to other planets, would come here to build a bunch of retarded crap out of stones.

Can you imagine in 500 years humans going to a distant planet and being like, "Hey, let's build something awesome...but out of mud."

that is impressive, but still, how would they be able to perform this kind of technique while 400 feet above ground (building the pyramid)?

I already gave the how. I will repeat, history is under no obligation to help us understand it. The same people that build skyscrapers, go into outer space, etc could figure out how to lift a block off the ground. I just showed you how one man can move gigantic stones by himself, using ingenuity. THAT is how they lifted giant stones 400 feet off the ground. Unless you are arguing that humans back then didn't have the same brain power? Look at what we have accomplished scientifically in just a few hundred years, now imagine thousands of years spent on stone working and perfecting it's technique.

You posted a photo of humans in the upper paleolithic period, some 20,000-50,000 years ago and compared it to statues that are 3,000-13,000 years old.

Another moron who implies that the choice of believing what you see is in the hands of others.

No one has ever concluded anything to an absolute certainty yet, this is why people still dig and research.

The video doesn't even scratch the surface of how ancients would stack megalithic blocks 10 to a 100 times the size he used, on top of each other, up steep slopes, perfectly notched with other multi-angled blocks, and 50-100 miles from a quarry.

The argument is how did they do it, not could they. And why do you see the exact same chit all over the globe when people supposedly had barely invented agriculture and the wheel.

Historians are the ones that paint these people as idiots and attempt to lift modern day man up on a pedal stool.

Ive been to the pyramids at giza and there is a chit load of them, a chit load of them that were made badly. it is like they made a load of chit ones until they managed to get the skills to make the 3 big ones.

Walls are smooth as phuck on the bigger ones, the blocks are huge. looking at the state of Egypt today makes you wonder how a bunch of dumb Egyptians managed to make them.

Sheer manpower and slavery i imagine.

Props to them either way.
