Angkor was built by aliens...
Hello Bongs,
"Conspiracy Theory Nutjobs" aside in Cambodia, what do you think about this Hancocks theory below, and how it relates to Angkor?
"Hancock’s main claim is that during the last Ice Age, which ended about 12 thousand years ago, our world was ruled by a mysterious, advanced civilization whose grip extended over all the continents on Earth, until it ended in an apocalyptic flood. The survivors of the flood were those who taught humans of the Stone Age the secrets of agriculture, architecture and all the other advanced technologies necessary for the existence of complex human civilizations"
When you look at the temples isn't your first thought always - how the fcuk did they move all those blocks there without machinery?
Even elephants would struggle. Maybe itshard to imagine the man power that such times could command.
Pyramids in Egypt AND Indonesia, BOTH with tomb like rooms underneath.
I'd say even the engineering feat them makes this guy worth listening to, even if archaeologists don't agree.

What about Machu Picchu in Peru built on top of a mountain that takes three or four days to trek to?
The Great Pyramid of Giza is still the heaviest building on the Planet Earth by quite some distance,built on sand 5,000 years ago we don’t have the technology to build to the same tolerances even today!
Definitely something not quite adding up here Ancient Aliens is the only rational explanation!

The only almost somewhat logical theory I could think of regarding human hands moving 500 kg stones is that I believe most of these great ancient monuments were surrounded by water when they were built, and moving such rocks by using water is obviously easier than on land, but still easier said then done.
500 kg stones take some size modern crane to lift.

His book Heaven's Mirror is one of the reasons I came here 20 years ago - his theories seem spot on to me.
The one really baking my noodle recently is the discussion about the Eye of Africa & how the geological landscape there corresponds eerily well to how Plato described Atlantis..
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richat_Structure
Again, the dates aren't far off for a cataclysmic event 12,500 years ago which sent a tsunami across west africa; even the modern day dunes are formed on what seems to be residue from massive waves. Plato's account likewise almost pinpoints it at 12,500 years ago. Spooky stuff.
Could all be codswallop.

500kg? The biggest stones in the King's Chamber are a whopping 20-80 tons, each ...

Yeah, exactly.
I think there was an article in the Washington Post about how they probably built slopes on the sides of the pyramids and sled the blocks up with ropes, and used giant trees as man powered cranes.
I still struggle to see how you sled, or leverage 20 ton blocks with logs.
"I don't care what the people are thinking, i ain't drunk i'm just drinking"
Anyone visiting Angkor Wat can easily see the big holes in all the blocks where they inserted the wooden poles to carry them with. 500kg barely needs 8 people.
But maybe I’m falling victim to Poe’s Law here.

The Baalbek Stones among which are the first,third and joint fifth largest stones ever hewn by man in ancient Heliopolis,Lebanon dwarf anything from the Pyramids.
The smaller ones in the actual Temple of Jupiter supposedly built by the Romans weigh 830-880 tons!
The Stone of the Pregnant Woman,Stone of the South and the Forgotten Stone come in at a whopping 1,000 tons,1,242 tons and 1,650 tons respectively we don’t have any machinery capable of moving these today.

Yes I think Angkor Wat is a different animal, clearly built much later & I can personally deadlift a good 160kg+ with a bar (with good form! ), so 8 people is a luxury on 500kg.turgid wrote: ↑Thu Mar 07, 2024 1:25 amAnyone visiting Angkor Wat can easily see the big holes in all the blocks where they inserted the wooden poles to carry them with. 500kg barely needs 8 people.

The thing Hancock catches on to is the layout of the Angkor Wat complex and alignment to the Serpetine constellation if my memory serves, and that those sites were used long before the Cambodians put Angkor Wat on top of it. There is also always debate about how the stars have moved since the construction, or that they don't line up very well- but guess what, set a computer to give you the skies 12,500 years ago and .... bingo.

Geographically disparate cultures, with no interaction, developed Flood legends sharing notably similar elements and themes. As if humanity itself took a snapshot of that aquatic event for the collective memory gallery.
Floodworry contributed to the construction of Ziggurats higher and higher to keep the uppermost shrine dry and above the rising sea.

In 100 years there won't be anyone who can thatch a roof or mill a stone for a spear or repair a gasoline engine etc.
Just because modern man can't work out how something was done does not mean it was not possible.

I find it hard to believe that an advanced civilsation exposed itself to possible extermination by flood; in other words, they were super-smart, but they just ignored or were not aware of the possibility of a flood?spitthedog wrote: ↑Wed Mar 06, 2024 9:37 pmHello Bongs,

Doubt it
RE stars: People for thousands of generations had no written word, radio, TV or Pornhub and a lack of travel opportunities. Looking up at night would have been the only entertainment. Bored pasturalists with half a brain across the globe would have been able to identify and plot the predictable movements and share them with the tribe like a neolithic Ted Talk.
RE floods: Even today, with dams and water management systems there are fuck-off big floods in all corners of the world, along with tsumanis and freak high tide storms. Ancient cultures had no Met Office or early warning apps, and also happened to build the best civilisations next to major water courses. Of course there were epic floods across the whole 'world', which only stretched to the next moutain range or desert.
Global events, such as the ice age melt, forming of the Med/Black Sea, sinking of Doggerbank etc. would have lived on in oral tradition as creation myths, taking more of a local twist as millenia past (no Eastenders to entertain the family).
RE stones: Where there's a will, there's a way. Never underestimate the skills and strengths of a large group of people with nothing better to do, and perhaps the influence of a despotic God King who really wants some massive shit built for a vanity project in the desert.
'How did the Easter Island heads get there?' asked the Europeans. 'They walked' replied the islanders. Superstitious piffle thought the superior white men, but actually, with a few handwoven ropes and a dozen of so burly Polynesians...
RE: it's amazing how so many cultures built similar shaped structures: When my kid was 3, he learned that the best lego towers were built in pyramid shapes. How did Hancock's linked peoples in South America and SEA (with alien technology) not use arches, which the Egyptians had toyed with around 6000 years ago, the Assyrians messed around with and the Romans totally nailed 6 centuries before the birth of Christ?
Or yeah, aliens.
