Funny how people automatically think of an area full of nothing but sand dunes, when they think of a desert.

Having been to the Middle East twice helps... I would have thought the same thing before I had been there if I hadn't already been interested in the area. I used to be an avid studier of religion and that relatively small area has produced most of the world's main religions.

Some of what he says is plausable, but other things is downright insane

For instance, he said the moon is actually a giant spacship full of aliens lol

What's so off the wall about that? It's better than my theory... The moon was once another planet that had the misfortune of orbiting a little too close to ours. Eventually, Earth captured it but in the process, the Earth was dragged slightly out of it's normal orbit. Which cooled the climate, killed the dinosaurs and eventually caused the ice age. Now we are slowly falling back into our original orbit which explains "global warming". Also the radiation given off helped hasten our evolution from small mammals.... hee, hee, hee...

congratulations, i have been to the area 3 times now. what really is funny here is that i ask a simple question and you guys jump all over it like I am retarded and you have all the answers, promptly inserting foot in mouth.

The point I make with my question is that while the area did have trees, it was basically ONLY in the fertile lands close to the Nile. And you think that these trees would be chopped down for an endless length of rollers and scaffolding just to build these monoliths over hundreds of years, that (as the story books would have you believe) serve no other purpose but a moratorium for a long dead king? What a giant, no, fucking COLOSSAL waste or invaluable resources that would be, no?
The benefits of the life bearing trees in that region staying like that, would far outweigh the alternative.

This leaves only shipping. They had a thriving sea-port based economy, but then they would need to have paid for how many thousands of trees to be imported?

just the tip of the iceberg.

1. Yes. I won't say "believe", rather, I see no sufficient evidence to disprove the existence of advanced lifeforms elsewhere in the universe. Are they actively traveling and visiting us? Maybe, but I kinda doubt it. Perhaps in the past.

2. I can definitely accept the possibility that humankind was seeded and nurtured in its infancy by a higher intelligence... or that we began elsewhere. We're sufficiently different from most of the other creatures on this planet to suggest such a thing.
