Given the state of modern technology and machinery, if we asked the best scientists and engineers to rebuild the Pyramids without using modern technology and heavy equipment could they do it ??

That doesn’t solve the fundamental mystery: Why did they do it?

The same people who built the statues and built the polygonal masonry on the island. Obviously the Inca!

A giant bunny. The baskets probably just rotted away.

Thanks Moltke. Hope you're having a great T-giving.

BTW, all, the construction by individual clans was known by the islanders themselves, and the information gathered in the 1950s by anthropologist Thor Heyerdahl, and appears in Aku-Aku.

What proof would exist of such an advanced civilization?

The only thing that would survive the ravages of time would be huge stone structures, which is exactly what we see today.

What is dumbing us down in recent years is the change in death rates of the young. In earlier times many children did not grow up to reproduce. Death might result from defective genes, of many sorts. Heredity illnesses might be one cause, some lack of intelligence might lead to some stupid accident, or one might be unable to resist some form of illness.

My mother in law prepared family lists going back to the early 1800s. One family in mid 1800s had 9 children, but either 4 or 5 of them died around age 2 in August or September. They may have died because that was the time that family stopped nursing their babies and they began to eat contaminated food and developed dysentery which killed them. Were some of the children weaker physically and unable to survive contamination of food, or were some smarter and kept themselves cleaner or avoided food that did not smell right. At any rate, in those ages the weaker and the more stupid were more likely to die before reaching breeding age. Perhaps a smarter set of parents would have figured out that the change of diet was causing the problem and changed the weaning age, or kinds of foods allowed. Certainly some of the Jewish food rituals or taboos had some survival value before people knew about germs.

Yes. And in many places that is the proof, because other C14 dated material found within them show they are much older than the civilizations usual archaeology attributes them to. IN one case, there are even Inca shamans who honestly admit that most of what is Machu Picchu their true mythology admits was not made by the Inca but found by the Inca and later adopted by them.

I suggest you view Ancient Apocalypse by Graham Hancock. He presents not so much answers (as to “who”) but evidence that clearly defies common theories and poses the questions common theories do not and cannot answer, questions with evidence that suggest many much much much older human civilizations than commonly taught today.

And the pig, for though it has a divided hoof, and so it shows a split hoof, it does not chew cud; it is unclean to you.

The real reason:
Trichinella species can infect swine, wild omnivores (foxes, wolves, bears, skunk, raccoons, rats, and other small mammals), and humans.

Trichinella is the smallest human nematode parasite, yet it is also the largest of all intracellular parasites.

Oral ingestion of cyst- or larvae-contaminated tissue is the usual route of infection, but congenital and mammary transmission can occur in rats.

Unlike other split hoof creatures like cows and antilope, which eat vegetable matter, pigs are omnivores and will even eat human bodies.

The area Israel, original home area of the Jewish religious writings was close to the sea, but seafood spoils very quickly and if I remember correctly, certain seafoods were also forbidden.
