Lost Secrets of Construction

[calatan]

I honestly think that it was just people and people alone. Every now and then you get that one family member who is just completely different than everyone else. You get that one younger brother who is just fascinated by everything with a mind of creativity beyond their siblings reasoning. All it takes is a little explanation for their understanding and you've got some wonderful master piece with the ideas of multiple minds. Lets not forget how many books were destroyed throughout the years and the knowledge within never to resurface again

To me a bigger question is not how they built them but rather why the built them as the pyramids were not tombs. What function did they serve?

[jamesross]

Great stuff guys!  Now that ancient construction is covered, how about episodes on ancient destruction?

[SuperClazyboy]

Daniken lol
Thats the guy from Ancient Ailens. Love this topic, love the video!

Through seven season so far, I think the show Ancient Aliens have abundantly explained the theory.

[bleachedout]

It's possible that people could have built structures like this, I'm sure people back then were really strong

[technoman]

"How did ancient empires build giant structures?"  Very carefully.

[TheeFinalSolution]

2:47 makes sense, honestly I don't know what makes anyone thinks Zimbabwians could create that

[davidbermudez]

It all makes sense because the Pyramids are also found on the surface of Mars. Crazy stuff!

Here's something they "didnt" want us to know.
I wonder how people reacted when buildings this huge were constructed thousands of years ago.
The shear size must have shoked them!

[MrSouthPawn]

ancient aliens debunked is pretty interesting counter argument for people genuinely interested

[ghostgate]

Why can I reply to some comments, but not others? WTF YouTube!?

[iamthecolor]

Research Sacred Geometry.
It is knowledge that the ancients held (you can find drawings of the symbols in almost every ancient culture.) This is also information that The Freemasons held. That is why they have a compass and a ruler as their symbol with a "G" in the middle.

Had you checked out Brien Foerster's channel? i.e. the 80 ton boxes under Egypt, or the ruins in Peru that the Incas built around we're all machined with 21st century precision. Can't ignore that.

[matthewjames]

the weird thing about the great pyramids is that the air is so thin in the center that theres not enough oxygen to sustain fire. they have experimented with mirrors and cant light 80% of it up. there must have been a technology were unaware of lighting the inner rooms. check the bagdad batri

Ancient Aliens is the funniest show ever. Comedy of epic proportions. 

[Troag]

we can not build the Giza- pyramids to day. Simply not possible. A japanese team tried, and failed in the seventies. Best documentary ever on this subject is "The revelation of the pyramids"!

[AaronGRandall]

Aliens would be cool, but where did they go and why are they not here still. Or why have they not come back. Still, it would be cool to know how these ancient monuments and building were built.

[mixterz]

Well people would definitely not be able to construct these structures today as we rely on machines for everything. Shame we don't give earlier civilisations credit.

[sandurfen]

im waiting for the part that gets crazy...
