EGYPT 2000 BC: Drills were used that turned 500X faster than today's power drills and bored into granite rock with ease.
Dentists worked with cement fillings, dental bridges, and inserted artificial teeth.
Doctors performed pregnancy tests, determined the sex of an unborn child, fed nourishment through tubes, fitted artificial legs and hands; and used anesthetic and sophisticated instruments to perform bone and brain surgery?
Mysterious moving walls, automatically flashing lights and lamps that shone century after century, non-stop?
A detailed map of Antarctica dating back thousands of years, without ice!
A 400 ft pyramid was found on the seabed.
44 skeletons were excavated in Pakistan dating to about 2000BC and found to be radioactive!
There are 25 places around the world which show hard evidence that atomic warfare was used thousands of years ago.
In Peru, 4-dimensional art with several faces that disappear or change into other figures, according to your position or that of the sun.
Dinosaurs and people coexisted.
There are approximately 600 legends worldwide that a world flood took place about 4,400 years ago.
....and hundreds more!
Nice!
Damn... Tell us how you really feel. LOL
MY LAST EDIT:
The “elites” in every culture kept many advanced techniques / knowledge to themselves. How else could they separate themselves from the peasants?
Many people died as a result of their “experiments”
Someone had to taste the unknown berry on a bush and it was for certain it was NOT the elites.
Still others were sacrificed to their “gods”
Many cultures built giant stone structures..USING SLAVE LABOR..Nearly all of them have to shown to be a result of leverage or some other reasonable technique. Still, they were quite clever.
They built mechanical devices that compared to today’s technology were little more than coin operated music boxes. But to the average villager they seemed like magic or inspired.
As for their knowledge of the stars and the seasons..they spent a large part of their lives outside observing and marking events.
They observed that the sun was at a certain point in the sky every year and built observatories for such events.
Anyone ever see a bow drill, used to start fires, in operation? Ancient people were just as intelligent as we are. They would have done something very similar, except using something that would have cut holes at the end. It isn’t hard to understand that at all.
No the idea of a bow drill was thought of and discarded by the archeologists - for the why, you’ll have to read their reports; I have no references to give you where they are located on the web or in some journal.
Yeah they put in a real doxy of a golf course, but over 3 billion years it was subducted down into the mantel and melted.
This video is probably of interest to some. I may try again to stream it in another room while I'm in here.

There are legends of large flood or tsunami events, here and there from preliterate traditions, but not even one of them agrees in every detail with any of the others.

Oh come on now. You know that’s not a real disqualifier.
You take any sized group of witnesses to any crime or major catastrophe and you’re gonna have at *least* as many descriptions as members of that group.
Wow, you *must* be new here. ;^)
Yes, that's the standard hypothesis, but no one in the modern era has been able to duplicate such feats of engineering - though it's been tried many times.
Consider this. The 'trilithon' foundation stones of the Temple of Jupiter in Baalbek, Lebanon weigh 800 tons apiece, and an unused block in the quarry nearby weighs in at 1,200 tons.
The obvious question is, how were such megalithic stones quarried, dressed, then moved and set into place by the ancients, who didn't have access to the technology required to accomplish such a feat. We can't do it ourselves, even with the best of our modern technology.
As I said, skeptics will adamantly insist that it was done with simple stone implements, leverage, and tremendous amounts of manpower, but that's never been more than an assertion. It's never been proven, though it has been tried.
The fact remains, though, these inexplicable monuments are there, and someone obviously did have the tools and technology to put them there.
I believe we err when we attribute their building to the ancient humans of our own recorded history. I believe the simple answer is that they were built by an earlier, high tech society that was wiped from the earth by some major cataclysm tens of thousands of years ago. Time obliterated all traces of these people, except for the megalithic stone structures they left behind.
Keep it up and I’ll start bugging you about how the ancient Greeks originated from the Baltic Sea coastal areas.
I’m warning you.
Amen... they were all of one accord! Many attempts have been made since to return to Babel, but it will occur only when the antichrist appears to take power {Zephaniah 3:9, 11 & 13, Is 11:9 & 15, etc.}... the only way all the world can come together to worship the beast.

What happened were those $#@! apes took over the planet and enslaved man.... or am I remembering some over time?
They may succeed at gaining a few years but the Bible says hey will eventually die. Then they face their misdeeds in the hereafter.
Hebrews 9:27. And as it is appointed for men to die once, but after this the judgment,
ah, the 1970s... I think Elon Musk must have grown up listening to this song.

Wait a sec... are you saying they *didn't*?!? ;^).
I’ve seen that video. It’s a very cool technique, but in the case of true megalith building, the blocks often measure in the tens (even hundreds) of tons — and they’re stacked up layer by layer, to great heights.
For instance, the blocks within the so-called ‘relieving chambers’ of the Great Pyramid are upwards of 70 tons apiece. Somehow, these gigantic blocks were lifted 150 feet above the ground, over the partially completed structure, then set into place - AND in multiple layers. I fail to see how the technique shown in the video could possibly be employed to accomplish that feat.
Think of the number of bodies that would be required to heft such a block. Where would they all stand, atop that narrowing structure? Let’s also not forget that every block in the Great Pyramid was quarried at Aswan, which is 500 miles away, then somehow moved to Giza without the benefit of the wheel.
Unbelievable.
Heck - how would we ourselves accomplish those things today? Quite frankly, we don’t yet possess technology adequate to the task, and neither did the ancient Egyptians. We know this because we have their tools and their writings, neither of which provide any rational explanation for how those monuments were built.
Clearly this is a case of mis-attribution. The ancient Egyptians didn’t build the megalithic structures in their land. They found them there in deep antiquity and simply adopted them. As a matter of fact, when the Greek philosopher Solon (ancestor of Plato) asked the Egyptian priests how those structures were created, they told him, “They were built by the gods.”
The obvious question is, how were such megalithic stones quarried, dressed, then moved and set into place by the ancients, who didn’t have access to the technology required to accomplish such a feat.
Not to mention that each one had to be cut, transported,
and set in place every few minutes to fit into the
supposed 20 year time frame given for construction.
