It’s unlikely from the Nephilim. It may be antediluvian, but it is of human origin.

Have they ruled out the possibility that ice age glaciers carved them?

I’m not gonna finish reading it, because doing so would lower my IQ by a few points. Horrible grammar.

One technique was to use saws which were nothing more than implements to rub sand across until a groove was made.

They then inserted wooden wedges then poured water over them until they expanded, cracking the stone in a straight line.

If some think it’s of alien origin— how did they bring it here in their spaceship and why?

Aside from the problem of shaping it, how were they presuming to lift it out of the quarry?” Seethed Brien Foerester, one of the world’s most recognised experts on the subject.

Here's a thought, maybe that's why it was never completed. Maybe after putting so much work into it someone said to the Stonemason "Well it is lovely and all, but just how the F*** do you plan to get it out of here"?

The Baalbek stone is at least 1200 tons and others near it are in the 1000-ton class.

>>> Of course, modern engineers, who are clearly in massive opposition, say that the Dynastic Egyptians did not have the type of technology capable of building such a structure

The folly of modernity...that somehow, the current generation has cornered the market on intellect and ability.

So, if not humans, who did make it? Australopithecines? Vervet monkeys?

The stone quarries in Aswan house, which is an unfinished obelisk, has mad scientists pull their hair out and cause a permanent denial for historians.

They operate from the flawed assumption that the ancients knew less about things than we do.

One of the aspects of reality that certain types seem to have difficult with is the simple fact that weird shit happens. Things that make no f’ing since happen all the time.

I remember an incident, some years back up in the Apostle Islands in Lake Superior. Most of the islands are National Lakeshore, and are uninhabited. One, Madeline Island, has a small community and some privately-owned cabins.

So there was this guy who’d bought a plot on the island and wanted to build a house on it. Now building on an island is expensive. You need to barge in all the materials, boat in all the workers. Our guy thought he had a less expensive approach. You see, northern Wisconsin is cold in the winter. Lake Superior freezes hard, some years, particularly along the coasts and between the coastal islands. Most years, they build a road on the ice from Bayfield out to the island. And our guy thought he’d buy a house, load it up on a truck, and drive it out to the island one February.

The ice was easily thick enough to support the weight of the house, truck, and trailer, everywhere along the road except for that one spot.

Which means that thousands of years from now, archeologists are going to find a house on the bottom of Lake Superior, and wonder just why anyone would have put it there.

The answer is that sometimes people do things that make no f’ing sense.
