Hey now! How did you know? I would never publicly divulge my age of 58 years! ;-)
(and yes, I do remember the USSR era).
Classic pseudoscience.
I wonder what they will write about the U.S. in a hundred years, when it’s been replaced by the Affiliated Islamic Republics of Dearbornistan and the Nation of Aztlan.
I think people will believe a lot of things as long as they are not required to believe what has been written in the Bible. God has told us and warned us. The book of Daniel has been railed at by liberals because it so accurately predicted future events (and still does) so much that they want to date it to a later date than the time period in which it was written. Future events will give testimony to its truth, accuracy and authenticity - along with the rest of scripture.
“I remember Eric von Daniken and his stories about ancient astronauts. This is just another such effort, a generation later.”
Yes. Same clap-trap. Art Bell Coast to Coast stuff.
What bothers me is when I was a kid in the 70’s this stuff was not as big as it is today.
Now it’s huge. We’ve become a nation of I’ll informed non-rational lunatics (among many other things).
Good post.
NASA Tests Limits of 3-D Printing with Powerful Rocket Engine Check

The component was manufactured using selective laser melting. This method built up layers of nickel-chromium alloy powder to make the complex, subscale injector with its 28 elements for channeling and mixing propellants.

SPACEX LAUNCHES 3D-PRINTED PART TO SPACE, CREATES PRINTED ENGINE CHAMBER

On January 6, 2014, SpaceX launched its Falcon 9 rocket with a 3D-printed Main Oxidizer Valve (MOV) body in one of the nine Merlin 1D engines. The mission marked the first time SpaceX had ever flown a 3D-printed part, with the valve operating successfully with high pressure liquid oxygen, under cryogenic temperatures and high vibration.
The History of the Earth isn’t all known. There is much to learn. Ancient writing give hints that their were other cultures before them. Even the Old Testiment tell of other cultures.
How much easier would it be to communicate if there was ONE language? Just saying.
Buried deeper?
You don’t want to know.
So he dabbles in ancient societies.
Genesis 6:4 reads, “The Nephilim were on the earth in those days and also afterward [after the flood] when the sons of God went to the daughters of humans and had children by them. They were the heroes of old, men of renown.”
The Nephilim were offspring of fallen angels and humans iirc. I think they had extra powers and knowledge. I’m no expert though!
The main problem is in archaeological dating which has many issues discussed by Prof. Gunnar Heinsohn on his website. Google will get you there. Dating schematics are often over inflated by the assumption that the levels of C14 and other dating markers have remained constant through all history. The Christian revisionism community has much solid info on this, tho their overall conclusions are biased by Biblical interpretations.
There was a comet strike at some point during historic times and the destruction it wreaked is memorialized in all the world’s religions and mythical descriptions of the cosmos before and after “The Fall”. Archaeologists are being dragged kicking and screaming to the catastrophist interpretation. Much info online about this comet caused cataclysm but start here:

Thanks for the excellent information Sir Thackney.
I know an Israeli biblical expert who swears that the correct translation is in the earth, not on the earth, and that the use of that word is extremely significant, indicating that vast civilizations exist deep underground.
In my humble opinion, despite creationists best attempts, and attempts by the many bible redactors who edited the early stories in Genesis, there is no telling just how far back in earth years were the “ancient” ages in human history. I leave the facts of it as a question only G-d knows the answer to and one that if G-d thinks we all should know it, then G-d will make sure we do.
I have read a number of Hancock’s books. I accept his premise that humans have been around, and even “civilized” longer than folks in the last 2,000 years believed/believe to be the case, but beyond that premise I have always found Hancock to often be a speculator on many facts of it all. Take the premise for whatever you want, but have some skepticism for the details no matter what you think of the premise.
This is a common misconception people have as a result of inflammatory, and bombastic "documentary" reporting that they are subjected to throughout life...
There is nothing special about the old monolithic blocks. They are not cut to laser-like precision, and they can be moved with primitive tools. Just not fast!
I recommend you watch 2 documentaries. One about the Easter Island statues on NOVA and the incredible revelation that it is possible they were "walked" from he quarry to the beach.
The other is also a NOVA about the Antikythera mechanism, a mechanical computer that is over 2000 years old. It turns out that it was not impossible for them to make them, they just needed a fine jeweler and a mathematician. Both available 2000 years ago.
These ancient marvels were not impossible to make, just very difficult and time consuming. It's amazing what the human mind can do where there are no tablets and TV's to keep it occupied with nonsense :-)
The glacial periods can last thousands and thousands of years - for people from those times, it's all they would have known.
