I have IQ to spare, the willingness, inclination and the ability but I just do not have the time.
(Hat Tip to Mr Nightlinger)
Me I just quote smarter folks than I and say “We don’t know, what we don’t know”
When that fails “It must be Aliens”

There are stones cut at some ruins at Puma punka that we cannot re-produce the folks that did had no Steel and transported the material for many miles without the Wheel nor written language or math...
Things that make ya go Hmmmm
**** “Otherwise we would have had a $200,000 rock and a $100,000 house” *****
I would have made it a “Feature” and built a Hot Tub next to it.
Really
What about DEVO? Did you think that "We are DEVO" , was a complaint against miscegination? Well ... it wasn't!
... and well, I do see black people serving the McDonald's Drive-thru. I mostly notice they are taking orders on their headsets simultaneously with making my change. No nose bones - no complaints.
That made me laugh, and it is too early in the morning here to actually be happy.
But I can see it in my minds eye. “How do you plan to get it out of here?”
So... who’s to say it’s an obelisk?
Maybe it’s a toothpick.
That’s just plain funny
Should have been from The Journal of Irreproducible Results
Babelfish translation?
Our ancestors were QUITE smart.
No aliens were needed to build pyramids and walls :-)
Even weirder are the huge quarried stones at Baalbeck, Lebanon. Estimated to weigh 1500 tons, they are 68x14x14 and why would you need stones that big for whatever project you had in mind. Lots of google finds with pics. Here’s one.

Thanks Fractal Trader. Despite her gender, Hatshepsut erected (ahem) more obelisks than any other single pharaoh; a 1200 ton obelisk would have wound up seeming even more mysterious had it been finished and were standing on its base today.
Hatshepsut erected four large obelisks at Karnak, but only this one is still standing. Its 100 foot twin is shattered on the ground nearby. Two much larger ones have gone missing. This one is the second tallest standing obelisk in the world, overtopped only by the one in Lateran square in Rome. Thutmosis III didn't destroy this obelisk, but he did build structures immediately adjacent to it that hid her name. A picture of the taller obelisk in Rome is at vatican18_11.jpg, where it, frankly, seems dwarfed by surrounding Vatican Renaissance architecture.
The article is of alien origin.
“only to have the big cracks in the upper section.”
Aw, they’ll buff right out!
That would explain a lot.
My guess is a bad translation. It reads like when I’ve used Google Translate or similar programs.
