but the Great Pyramid is far form a crude architectural device, if you have actually watched the programming about it. Its dimensions, engineering and even its location and alignment (along with the other two pyramids, are marvels

and thanks to the History Channel for its program about Puma Punku, I learned about a mystery I never knew existed

I don't think archaeologists enjoy spending their time disproving that slaves built ancient engineering marvels like the Pyramids and Puma Punku with hand tools, ropes and pulleys.

It's just that, the more they find, all over the world, the less logic there is in assuming that slaves did so, or were even able to do so

Much less “why”.

From watching the History Channel series, what written records remain at many of these sites (excluding Puma Punku, no written language, possibly built before invention of the wheel, yet using diamond tipped machining tools)) seem more suggestive of alien involvement, or at least that the sites were built in the service of alien worship, with seeming universal fixation on astrological phenomenon, and a common extra-solar origin in a bistellar planetary system in the vicinity of the Orion constellation

For naysayers, I just wish a very rich person would offer skeptics a reward for undertaking the replication of the Pyramid or Puma Punku projects, using the manpower and technology known in ancient times.

And while you are at it, please replicate some of the complex mathematical and astrological crop circles

but please, do it overnight, as the world watches.

Put theories of extraterrestrial involvement to bed, once and for all, and we can all move on.

Nothing stopping anyone from showing the rest of us what fools we are for doubting you (or ancient mankind alone) could do it.

Oh, please. The two guys doing the crop circles showed exactly how they did it and more than a few farmers were complicit in the events and then later claimed they appeared overnight; farming is a bit boring in the UK suppose. The alignment of the pyramids is nothing a reasonably clever boy scout couldn't manage and the structural design is so simple it would embarrass any architect today. The Egyptians didn't have a clue how to attain that height without simply piling blocks on top of blocks. Yes they noted the position of the stars, their lives depended on it and there was no artificial light pollution to block their view.

Given time and numbers people can produce large monuments.

It's fun to suppose that fairies, elves or leprechauns exist. The belief in visiting Aliens is simply that kind of folklore updated. As to proof, the necessity lies with you to prove such an assertion. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary proof. To explain our world and the structures in it, well, no aliens needed, thanks you

Watch this guy handle very heavy stones all by himself. He s been building a stonehenge by himself.
