MemberOvomorphMay-12-2012 1:34 PMQ. How could human beings without sophisticated tools or knowledge of engineering craft and transport or build such incredible structures?
My theory:
I think many people underestimate power of free time in your hands (including us on the Internet) and empty mind. Let's imagine world with - No stock market, no television, no internet, no porn channels, no comics, no advanced machines, vehicles etc. All that leaves on this planet to do some structures like pyramids, towers and palace, caves and other art stuff. It's that simple. You assume that ancestors were too smart. You also have to consider the point that ancestor were jobless or they were ruled by few people with mind or power, ego and have too many useless things to do in their lifetime.
Let's apply this to prometheus, I am sure they took some humans on their ship to build temples or resting places. What do you think?

MemberOvomorphMay-12-2012 2:04 PMTotally feasible. Civilization was built on slavery, it really is simple as that.
In those dangerous times being whipped into building temples and stuff was preferable to being executed or left to eke out a meagre living with a very real threat of starving, slaves were well fed. . . they had to be.

MemberOvomorphMay-12-2012 2:26 PMI see that question whenever Natgeo or similar channel posts ancient structures picture on facebook page. I don't understand why people over rate our ancestors.

MemberOvomorphMay-12-2012 2:36 PMexcept not perfectly aligned with geometric star groups and patterns matching earth coordinates perfectly without some sorta intelligence that seems misplaced. just my opinion. and without any tools being discovered on the sites or evidence the people indigenous to the areas were able to lift stones more than 200 tons in weight in some cases. Not saying it wasn't possible just that it all seems very strange to me.

MemberOvomorphMay-12-2012 2:46 PMWell Europe and Asia are total war zones during ancient times. History shows many records of war between the countries. So I don't think evidence of people who made these structures is going to be there. So this gap is often filled with conspiracy. From what I have observed in history, ancestors were really good at crafting those building and similar other intelligent tasks which are quite automated these days.
As for structures based on star signs and maps, I have no answer, I am not sure what purpose was there.
