Water shaft theory explains it pretty well. I'm not sure how academically accepted it is though. But the Pyramids were in a really unique location allowing for a mega-structure. Most other ancient large structures were much smaller due to needing gravity tools to move things.

Thinking about space always gives me a feeling of, well I wouldn't say its exactly dread--but its close. When you grasp that there are billions of stars in JUST this Galaxy, and the Galaxy itself is only one of billions..I mean, fully digesting what a "Super cluster is", can tighten my stomach.
Those aren't made up of stars....they are made up of whole galaxies, billions of stars each. And to think--I don't think most people, myself included, can fully grasp how large just the sun is...Its one of those chill up your back moments when you let your mind go on it. (Especially those voids, those voids freak me out even knowing most randomly distributed matter with attractive qualities ends up with the same kind of clumping effect.)

I gave up trying to explain to my family the vastness of space. They'll make comments like "It's hard to believe if aliens did exist that we haven't discovered them by now." They have no understanding of how immense the distances are between the stars. Hell, trying to explain that stars in the sky are the same type of objects as our Sun is difficult for them to grasp.

this, i used to entertain those ET theories in my 20s, then i realized how incalculably massive the universe is and then understood that means how insignificant we are that no ET is visiting us when there is so much other stuff out there. those "UFO" footage videos that keep popping up are likely the result of some natural phenomena we haven't discovered yet. i'd believe ball lightning before i'd believe little green men are trolling us in their flying saucers.

The conspiracy is that it's literally impossible for humans to have accomplished what they did regardless of man power or time. It's simply and literally a physical impossibility. You CANNOT move 1,000 ton blocks with manpower alone. You CANNOT carve diorite/granite with space age precision without space age technology.

The stonework is literally irrefutable evidence though. Not to mention, the fact that ALL of these ancient civilizations speak of gods coming down from heaven and teaching them. I mean, literally every single one says this. So ya, you're being incredibly unreasonable because you refuse to accept the implications.

I think it's entirely likely that there are other advanced civilizations out there, but so far we see no evidence. It's possible we just don't know where to look though. Think of how easy it would be for us to spy on a Roman level civilization undetected. Tiny cameras and microphones, night vision goggles, radio communications, spy satellites... they would never even think of these things being used on them. It's outside their reality.
Still, I think it's hubris to consider ourselves even worthy of study by some advanced species. I don't study the ants in my back yard, they aren't any more interesting than the ones in the neighbour's yard.

Hmm I don't see any of the cranes or technological devices at the Empire State building, I guess by your logic, it was built by hand. Your logic is actually retarded. Why the fuck would the people who built these things have left their tools behind? Also, even the best modern day crane in the entire world cannot lift and carry some of the blocks that were moved by the ancients. This tells me that their technology is far more advanced than what even we have today.

saw that one a long time ago. its very good, that dude has his own agenda though judging by his other videos. the Ancient Aliens show is silly because they equate everything to ALIENS. thats an oversimplification. its like saying "a wizard did it"

What, in your opinion, is the most impressive example of these ancient structures that would necessitate a power greater than ancient humans to manage? Would you say it's carving out these blocks, transporting them, raising them or setting them?
