Yes, that was pretty impressive. Not going to lie. Very good demonstration on how to stand a single stone block. Now all you need to do is find a video of someone using the same techniques to get a stone block weighing 2 or 3 tons almost 500 hundred feet in the air and I'll be convinced.
What about Machu Picchu all the way up in the mountains in Peru? Built with no mortar, but just massive blocks perfectly fused together? What primitive technology made this possible?
That's all the more evidence of human ingenuity. Is there any kind of evidence linking this and the pyramids to some kind of space alien race? The materials are all natural and 'primitive'. Thousands of years ago, people had intelligence like we do today. Especially if they had a civilization of many generations developing mathematics and their own version of engineering, they could figure out how to build impressive structures. If that was lost over time and our scholars debate how it was done, that doesn't mean aliens had to have done it.
How many people who study pyramids and ancient structures and how they were built are actually structural engineers? Are they archeologists who aren't specialists in building who speculate on how things were done?
With the Pyramids of Giza they are well known. Not only do they boast exceptional engineering, as I mentioned above, but they are also almost mathematically perfect, being off by only a fraction. Plus they align with the stars of Orions belt, further pointing to extraterrestrial origins.
Non sequitur, IMO in that last line. Plenty of ancient civilizations relied on the stars for navigation or had aspects of their religion in which astronomy/astrology were considered important. There were priests and scholars in various cultures studying the stars. Before street lights and pollution, people could spend many hours nearly every night looking at the stars.
Great stuff here in this post @Pixel--Dude, I've looked into this topic too in the past and found it quite fascinating, and that's only the tip of the iceberg when it comes to inexplicable feats of engineering in some of these ancient structures, often in a context where the surrounding natives also maintained a tradition that they did not build it themselves, but that "men from the stars" or something such were responsible for building it, like Puma Punku, if I remember correctly.
I saw an 'ancient aliens' clip about this place. The big fat drill holes didn't look like they were made with lasers, and they didn't post any credentials for the guy that suggested the carvings were done with laser technology. It's pretty impressive to build something like that, but the ancient alien thing seems pretty low on credibility as far as I can tell. That TV show has basically created a religion, or turned a tiny one into a much larger one.
Do you have a source for a legend that 'men from the starts' built Puma Punku? It's so old that any legends about it might have developed much later. I know that there were ancient mythologies that associated starts with gods, like the Romans did to some extent with their emperors and such. Do you know of any legends about men from the starts building these things.
It may be that spirits that want a following and undeserved worship or attention from men may just make up lies to go along with the contemporary mythology. So since the 1800's and the idea of life on other planets, that may be one of the avenues they use to accomplish their aims, aligning their claims to occult practitioners with a contemporary mythology. Like I pointed out, in the early 20th century, space craft flew just a bit faster than our own and the aliens were supposedly from the back side of the moon. That doesn't work now, so it's intersteller travel. Thousands of years ago, they could claim to be gods in alignment with the popular cosmology of the day.
According to
https://engineeringtravel.wordpress.com ... pumapunku/
"While impressive, Pumapunku doesn’t seem to be so outrageous that aliens were needed."
The "men from the stars" motif is prevalent across pretty much every ancient culture in the world.
So what evidence is there for this... from the ___stars____, not the heavens. I know of associating deities with specific stars from 'old world' mythologies and culture.
Even modern architects and engineers admit they would not be able to recreate the majestic quality of the pyramids.
