Homer did not reference Atlantis, Plato did.
The site Puma Punku is even more amazing than the incredible Egyptian’s works. And appears to be far older.
The Romans took several 200-300 ton obelisks from Egypt and transported them to Rome.
The philosopher Plato wrote of Atlantis, not the poet Homer (whose existence as a single person is questioned by some).
Must have been some really weighty elephants!
Men lived for almost 1000 years before the flood. That _alone_ can explain the extremely advanced things they were doing, I think. Many of us, if we lived that long, would develop techniques like they did in whatever fields of study we decided to pursue.
Yup...A real, live two-headed turtle. In fact they are sitting in their tank just feet away from me. The boys send you their greetings by the way.
People were pretty smart back then but the politicians back then and now stand in the way of progress.
Look at the rapid advancement in technology since the Magna Carta of 1215 in England and the founding of America. Especially the founding of America.
Freedom was being founded.
With modern man around for approx 200,000 years we should by now be traveling around on our vacations in starships to the resorts if not for politicians.
Look to the Hindus. Vimanas, flying machines describes in their holy books. Atomic warfare, described also. Some go further and tie this back into the Biblical "great men of old, men of renown," the children of the sons of God and women of Earth, meaning that these "gods" were real. Same with the supposedly mythological Greek "gods." Egyptian too. That many were strange chimeras or otherwise physically unusual also ties back in, referencing what has been interpreted as genetic manipulation. Don't necessarily believe this myself, but it does mesh it all together.
It’s a Trilogy.
I do know about the Vimanas as described in ancient Hindu texts. Did it happen? Why bother to write about events and machines/technology that did not exist?
That’s the thought behind it being tied back to antediluvian Nephilim. All these “gods” were quite happy to be regarded as such, but weren’t. They would have been sufficiently advanced to appear to be “gods.” Ergo, the people of the various cultures didn’t just invent them, they were real. But, the sheer apparent impossibility of what was described rendered these accounts, present worldwide, as legendary or mythological or spiritual, when in fact they were just technological, but it could only be recognized as such in more recent times.
I wonder at times about how much was lost when the library at Alexandria burnt. It had information from much of the known world.
It's easy to believe. Just look at today's young people in the USA after 50 years of communist stupefying public schools.
A big bow drill using diamond-tipped bits would work.
Africa had diamonds, and the Sahara Desert used to have trees.
Not so surprising - otters use rocks to crack shells, some birds (in Africa?) stick twigs down ant holes to get them to cling and bring them out to dine....not so hard to believe humans were able to devise certain tools - they sure didn’t have TV and comic books to distract them....
It would seem to me to be easier to invent steel than sound technology we lack.
Progressives actually insist on “progressive”, astonishingly. A friend I yhave known since Med School 35 years ago blithely mentioned to me long ago, like it was accepted dogma, “things just get better with each generation.” If reality doesn’t fit that message it ain’t reality. Look at the data, though. Somebody, long ago, was doing things we would struggle with today.
“The foundation blocks at Baalbeck are estimated to be 100,000 tons. Not only that, they are perfectly level and square, and you can’t even fit a piece of paper between them.”

Drill holes in sandstone is not “high technology”. Stone work has ALWAYS been accomplished with drills that are hammered into the rock.
