      And even then it had already been proven thousands of years prior by a Greek philosopher. Eratosthenes proved the Earth was round by observing two towers, each in a different location and measuring the angles of the shadows made by the Sun at the same time of day. What he found was that both shadows cast different angles and from this he was able to calculate the Earth's circumference.

    I think that conspiracy theorists just can't deal with the fact that ancient civilizations weren't as rudimentary as we'd like to believe. The existence of aliens and ancient civilizations being developped enough to construct elaborate structures are concepts that can coexist without necessarily being linked.

      That's exactly what I was thinking when I went out to New Mexico and looked at petroglyphs. It's a bunch of rocks on the side of a hill and are claimed to be "ancient landmarks for other travelers" I went there and saw most of them myself and came to the conclusion that, based on the fact that most of them had the artistic equivalent to a child's art, the petroglyphs were most likely from the kids running off to play while the parents were busy while setting up camp.

    A lot of times when people are perplexed about history, it's pretty simple. Once there was a show where they wondered for 30 minutes how the pyramids were perfectly divisible by pi and a tired paleontologist was like "they probably just used a wheel to do their measurements" and the entire show collapsed. Or when they couldn't figure out how they did the hairstyles that defined gravity and a person said that's clearly sewn on and wasn't believed until they were proven right

    Explanation for the hieroglyphics at 1:24: "These hieroglyphs are actually a result of re-carving the stone to replace some of the original hieroglyphics. The initial carving was made during the reign of Seti I, and the stone was later reused during the period of Ramsesses II with one carving being on top of the the other." "Some of the filling has fallen out in places where the older and newer inscriptions overlap, which produces the unique and odd-looking hieroglyphs." There are images highlighting the seperate original and newer inscriptions, and they've both been translated to English. All it takes is a Google search lmao

    Baby skulls are very susceptible to deformities due to the sutures not being fully closed, hence the abnormal skulls of Tiwanaku (& other tribes in the zone). They did this with multiple methods depending on the required shape, mostly involving planks and rubber bands.
    You can actually fact check this yourself if you have a spare baby lying around & you force them to sleep on the floor. Without somewhere to rest their heads in a comfier fashion, their skulls usually succumb to the pressure of hard materials.

      Considering the vast amount of information lost in the Alexandria library fire, it's very probable they had access to more advanced technology than we think. We have absolutely no idea what kind of literature was lost. There could have very well been schematics. Egyptians also had an entirely separate script for handwriting. They didn't write on paper in hieroglyphs. I doubt, for instance, they'd consider a shopping list important enough to be buried with. Also, the simple fact that any tools built with lumber may easily have rotten before any sandstone. The climate in that region at the time, was much wetter than it is now. For all we know they could have had water wheels, cranes and lifts. There is some evidence that Rome around this same era had mechanical clocks and gearing systems. Also, the argument that tools aren't depicted in art because... they're tools... is very valid. As an artist, I can't say I've ever been compelled to paint or draw a power drill. Not to mention the Dark Ages actively wiped out a lot of science (the ancient Greeks knew the world was round... the Church was like, "nah") and I'd dare to say set technological advancement back roughly 1,000 years.

    As someone who's taken extensive ancient art history classes, I think it's fascinating that nobody ever accuses the Greeks of getting help from aliens. The columns of the Parthenon are curved at perfect subtle angles, and would require a compass a mile wide to get that result. We can't do that without modern machinery. In the restoration of the Parthenon, there are certain building techniques that we have needed to MAKE UP, using modern machinery, to replicate what they did. But no, just because the Greeks were Oh So Sophisticated and Western, it couldn't be aliens. (BTW, not saying the Parthenon was made by aliens. I believe neither ancient monument was made by aliens. ) Also, wasn't there evidence of ramps at later, similar tombs, specifically Hatshepsut's? Later Pharaohs didn't have the resources to replicate the scale of the Great Pyramids, but they still built more. IDK, I just think that these theories are pretty dismissive of the quality of ancient art, especially that of nonwhite cultures.

      exactly!! thanks for putting this here so i didn't have to go on the same rant (i would probably do it much less eloquently). i don't know why people are so baffled by the idea that nonwhite ancient civilizations had creativity and intelligence. i mean, islamic scholars not only accurately diagrammed our solar system but calculated the circumference of the earth centuries before europeans even started thinking about the cosmos scientifically. i'm not surprised at all that the dogon tribe was able to do the same thing and took it further (the islamic empire was doing way more stuff than just astronomy at the time). and yes the greeks had more documentation, and thats just because thats what the greeks valued. most of african history was recorded through art and oral tradition, which is why we don't have written documentation. it's just a cultural difference! (research lukasa boards as a good example of other ways history was preserved in the area) and the egyptian architects were geniuses, and very careful planning was put into the great pyramids by incredibly intelligent people who had been practicing the art form for centuries beforehand. with the amount of resources the ancient egyptians had at the time, along with their advanced mathematic capability and knowledge of the cosmos, its totally probable for them to have built the great pyramids on their own.

    A)The fact is, these are all theories. There isn't a way to go back in time to talk with the person who made these drawings and ask them if these are real drawings of real life events or if they were just fictional ideas. There are no facts that make the argument to prove alien presence consistent or valid. The evidence of paintings of "spacemen leading natives in a line", or a mayan carving with a "spaceship in it", or hieroglyphs from the Temple of Setii appearing to depict hovering spacecrafts and modern day machinery would have to be true to make this a valid argument, but due to the lack of truthfulness and ability to prove the artwork true, it can't be verified.
    B) When we take into account the cave drawings of these, "aliens" or "space men", I started to think about one idea. In todays modern world, we have all of these books and movies about fictional characters and things and that can also translate to drawings of these fictional characters and things. If our civilization were to go extinct and a new civilization far off in the future were to find leftover items from our time, they could possibly find these books or movies or drawings of all these fictional things we talked about in our world today. What if that is what we are doing now and we are looking at drawings of fictional beings that these ancient people thought of and they aren't aliens. If we look at these two assumptions of 1. they are drawings of aliens from outer space or 2. they could be fictional beings from the thoughts of ancient people, of the two it might be easier to believe it could be fictional drawings.

So what they made was a perfectly square building that had corners that point nearly perfectly in the cardinal directions. As well doing this as many times as there are layers throughout the pyramid. Experiment go out and grab a bunch of granite which is extremely tough to shape and then build a perfectly square or he’ll try even one square. If you can’t find granite see how hard it is for you to simply draw a perfect square. Then after you do that just go out and grab a bunch of people that don’t know what there are doing and command them to draw a perfect square when they have no idea what a right angle is, what a square is, straight line is, what anything you are building is.

    There's a mundane explanation for the spaceship and helicopter looking Egyptian hieroglyphs - Egyptians used to cover hieroglyphs with plaster and re-carve over them to edit them in some instances. I'm pretty sure in this case it was replacing the name of one pharaoh with another. Since they were big on the whole "immortality through remembrance" thing, defacing or covering up past / controversial pharaohs was a way to invalidate them and legitimize their successors. Eventually the plaster would erode away and reveal two sets of hieroglyphs overlapping on top of each other. It's just a coincidence that one symbol overlapping another looks like a helicopter. Also I'm pretty sure I read somewhere that the reason the measurements coincide with pi was due to using wheels as measuring devices.

    i agree with shane - people suggesting that the ancient egyptians or the people of tiwanaku couldn't possibly be smart enough to build those structures is disrespectful.

      @Emperor Your version of technology and their version of technology were two different things. My ancestors were very advanced when it came to health and wealth. In the African mystery schools, they taught all sorts of different techniques to activate dormant abilities. Our ancestors were much more advanced than we are which is why they built great monuments your dirty scientist still can't figure out. And how smart our we? All I see from modern society is a whole bunch of pollution and a group of people to greedy and dumb to sustain themselves on one planet. Kemet (Egpyt) was an empire that lasted thousands of years with no pollution. America is only a few hundred years old and we've polluted the planet so much, people are wearing masks because the air is so dirty. I don't see much intelligence in modern society. So I don't care what your history books tell you. There's a caucasian version of history and there is an indigenous, autochthonous American version and I know my ancestors won't lie to me. Dirty caucasians will that's for sure.

      We can't even build them today so how the hell was they going to do it back then that's why it's the 7th wonder of the world hello why are people so willing to accept that these ancient civilizations built and lifted things that we can't even live for bill today

      most of our technology is a result of industrialisation though. I feel like we should all keep that in mind. I mean of course these ancient people had their fair share of discoveries made and they were of course intelligent you know, since they were able to adapt to their environment and discover new tools. And you know how science is always evolving ,meaning that in order for us to be an advanced society we had to take from them their knowledge and of course take off from there.because nothing comes from nothing. With that said,I feel like we should respect them because their initial discoveries are the foundation for our knowledge

    I am not going to blame Ryan, I mean he is just presenting facts plus anyone can believe whatever they want, but I am totally on Shane's side on this. I mean, can't we give ourselves some credit? Can't we give our ancestors a little credit? They were people who discovered and invented so many things... Isn't it possible that some of them were intellectuals and were able to do things we can't even think of?
