Gee, how'd they ever build it using non-modern techniques? LABOR and time.....

And tools...and that is really the heart of my question.

Did it require time and manpower to quarry the stones that comprise the Trililthon? Absolutely. But it's the TOOLS required to move those 800 ton stones a half mile...and lift them into position within the structure that interest me. You're not moving an 800 ton megalithic stone with just manpower. Those people had tools to do the job...and we seemed to have lost them somehow...the tools..and the technological know how.

Impossible. New Jersey didn't exist until 1702.

You can do amazing things with tools made out of the same material that you want to work, a work ethic, and patience.

KSGregman, they used such complex tools as rope, wooden rollers, sand, and water.

Here is an intersting website, this "story" (if it is a story) might have inspired Speilberg, Carl Sagan and Gene Roddenberry. True? I don't know, but intersting and would not surprise me...

Exactly, just like the movie Stargate. Again, I haven't seen any convincing evidence, but I don't entirely dismiss the "space seed" theory. If you believe that intelligent life could have evolved on Earth without a God, then there's no reason why it couldn't have evolved on another planet before travelling to Earth afterwards.

In addition, you should search Youtube for a Cosmos episode about how a 2-dimensional being wouldn't be able to comprehend a 3-dimensional being entering their environment. A similar situation could exist between us and alien life. The idea that they would arrive in physical spaceships is a little outdated IMO.

Thanks man, that's all I'm trying to say....how do they cut diamonds? We have been doing it for hundreds, maybe thousands of years...

I guess that I ASSumed that he knew about logs, ropes, levers, pulleys, scaffolds, fulcrums, etc....All of our "modern" machines/building techniques are simply variations of ancient ones.

alex collier touches on this a bit (tons of youtube vids) but I think he is batshit crazy
