Aliens built it in a week. Ask George Noory.

We as a society tend to view time as a fleeting moment. A need for speed.

Maybe these people viewed time in a different aspect. No hurry. Building for the ages.

Whatever the means, it has stood the test of time.

Wallace Wallington has shown how he can build a stonehenge alone and move large buildings and walk huge blocks.

Check out what is a very probable answer to how it is done.

Don’t tell the Democrats. I can see the Obama Pyramid shovel ready stimulus program forming in their conniving minds already.

You don’t need enigmas down in Mexico, just sample the water or cuisine and it will clear you out something fierce.

A colleague archaeologist worked there in the 60s and found some of the burial sites. I remember him telling us that there were very few young kids found...most of the skeletons were of adults and that there was a very high percentage of fetuses found in altars. The speculation was that they were ritually aborted.

Having visited there as well—it is an eerie and sinister place.
