Megalith:
A structure built with big stones. It should be noted that these words are often used
interchangeably.
The very existence of
ancient monoliths and megaliths throughout the world is an anomaly by itself.
They defy all the orthodox historical and anthropological knowledge, and are
dealt with more as mythical, rather than physical structures. Of course, that is
if one only accepts what the "experts" say are the known facts. The experts are
correct when they say the cultures in which these “giants” are found possessed
neither the tools nor the skills to build them. They are correct when they say
the massive construction and the materials used are impractical, the locations
are illogical, and construction methods required were unknown to those
cultures. But, when it comes to who built them, why they were built, and how
primitive peoples created technological marvels, they ignore the obvious. They
drift into a world of murky speculation, outrageous antiquated theories, and
unfeasible conclusions.
Science has created a very restrictive system which fits all things
into very precise pigeonholes. If a given reality does not fit into its
intended niche, they simply change the reality. If a culture leaves a record
that says beings from the stars built these megaliths, there is a problem. The
experts have no pigeonhole for extraterrestrials, so they reshape the reality
and make it fit into another slot. The “Obsessed Monarch Enslaving the Entire
Population for Years” is a classic pigeonhole. The ”Fanatical Religious Zealot
Chipping a Boulder for Months to Make One Block” is another well-worn niche.
Even entire religious theories are invented to explain the motivation for the
structures.
When an ancient culture says flying vehicles were used to transport and
place the massive components of a megalith over great distances, the experts
don’t have slots for ancient flight. But they do have slots for thousands of
slaves dragging million-pound monoliths over miles of rugged terrain. No matter
how unreasonable, unworkable, or unrealistic their conclusions are, they are
published as though they made perfect sense.
Here are some of the facts
experts ignore as a matter of common practice:
Size of the Monoliths
The size of the monoliths that comprise these massive structures is
the first, and the most important, fact ignored by the experts. There are two
problems with the size. First, it makes no sense to use such massive components
in construction. Why don't we build our modern structures with big rocks?
There are certainly plenty of cheap sources for big rocks and surely they would
last longer. We don't use large components in modern construction because there
are no known methods for manufacturing and using such components on such a
massive scale. Isn't it odd that the experts think primitive cultures did have
total knowledge of these methods? The second problem is transportation.
Despite a highly sophisticated material handling system of cranes and vehicles
in the modern world, we could not even begin to tackle such massive construction
projects. A study on the Great Pyramid determined that modern construction
techniques were not only inadequate to build this structure, but it could not
even be torn down. Primitive labor using wooden rollers, crude ropes, and mud
ramps did not move these giants.
No Tools
The ancient cultures to which these structures are attributed literally
had no tools that were capable of cutting or finishing the components. They had
no saws, hammers, chisels, measuring tools, or finishing tools that could shape
stone. There are instances where the experts will display crude tools, mainly
copper or stone implements, and claim these were used to form the components.
What they fail to point out is that the blocks they were used to cut are harder
than the tools that supposedly formed them. Copper was the only metal
associated with megalithic cultures. Copper is so soft that it is not even used
to make woodworking tools. Loggers don't use copper axes and carpenters don't
use copper saws. There are no copper masonry tools in modern culture and no one
used copper tools to shape even the softest of the monoliths. Rock tools are
little more than useless.
No Wheels
In our modern culture the wheel is taken for granted. In ancient
cultures it did not exist. No wheels, no carts, no pulleys, and no cranes.
This is why, when experts depict ancient construction projects, they always show
thousands of slaves dragging giant blocks over the ground or up mud ramps. Dirt
ramps are the favorite graphic used in illustrations of such projects. Left out
of the descriptions of the work and the estimate of the time and labor required,
are the ramps themselves. What they fail to point out is the time and material
required to construct and dismantle these ramps is often many times that of the
construction of the megalith itself.
Random Shapes
of the Blocks
Many of the world's megaliths are constructed with blocks that are
literally cut to fit perfectly into totally random patterns. Sometimes this is
done over hundreds of feet of precisely fitted walls or throughout entire
massive complexes. And not small blocks either, rather monoliths of a ton or
more with as many as twelve separate edges cut to perfection. This is not the
work of primitive slave laborers, with crude stone tools, and no experience. The
experts are silent on this fact.
Quarry
locations
Even more baffling, than how they built the megaliths, is where they
got the blocks. In many cases the blocks were quarried not just miles, but
hundreds of miles away. Sometimes the blocks had to be ferried across rivers,
where no barges big enough to carry them or cranes to lift them existed. Many
times the material at hand was ignored and distant quarries were used. At times,
structures were built on high mountains from material quarried from other peaks.
This required lowering massive blocks down one peak and dragging them up
another. In some cases there are no quarries for thousands of miles, across
continents, or even entire oceans. Again the experts are silent.
Joints in
Structures
An amazing aspect in the construction of many megaliths is the tight
fit of massive blocks of stone. Many structures are fit so well together that
they required no mortar and have not shifted a millimeter over thousands of
years of existence. Seams are found so tight that a razor blade cannot be
slipped between neighboring components. We cannot be expected to believe that
slaves, hacking away with crude implements, achieved perfection. The experts
insult our intelligence when they claim this is how it was done. In one case
where adhesive was used, in the Great Pyramid at Giza, Egypt, the adhesive
itself proved to be an anomaly. When tested for composition, it was found not to
contain any of the 65,000 known substances on Earth. After
at least 4700 years, the adhesive is still perfectly binding the 2.5 million
blocks to which it was applied. The experts don¹t even try to theorize about
this. The
intentional 1/50th of an inch gap engineered into each of the more
than 15 million cuts to accommodate the adhesive is conveniently ignored.
Angles and Squares Even a
novice construction worker is aware that setting angles and determining square,
in even a simple structure, requires knowledge of modern mathematical formulas,
not to mention the tools required. It becomes even more complicated when it comes to
hundreds, or thousands, of feet. Precise right angles, areas of thousands of
feet laid out in perfect square, and difficult angles repeated flawlessly,
countless times are the rule rather than the exception. All this requiring
complex mathematical knowledge, not even discovered until the structures
themselves are thousands of years old. Again the experts show no visible signs
of intelligence, often dismissing this as lost knowledge. Lost knowledge is the
pigeonhole often used when the experts are clueless, a state they are often in,
but unable to admit.
Plumb
and Level
Plumb and level are the two most important words in construction and
the norm in many ancient megalithic structures, freestanding monoliths, and
entire complexes. Plumb is vertical alignment and level horizontal. Accuracy
in either one of these aspects, without the use of sophisticated tools is
impossible to attain in megalithic or any large construction. Miscalculations
of fractions of an inch at one point can mean mistakes of many feet at another.
However the ancient unskilled labor force, without the use of tools did this
consistently over the entire globe, according to the experts. Again the “lost
knowledge slot” has come in handy for disguising glaring ignorance.
Materials
Another enigma present in megalithic construction is the impractical
choice of building materials. Gargantuan blocks were supposedly dragged for
miles, when usable material quarry sites were available mere yards from the
construction site. Harder stones were used when softer materials were easily
accessible, without regard to weight, or difficulty of forming harder and
heavier materials. It seems the ancient builders often literally went out of
their way to make their task more difficult.
Alignments
Many
monoliths and megaliths are aligned to the movements of the sun, the moon, and
even the stars. Many are aligned to other structures on the globe, or points
obviously unknown to the ascribed primitive builders, who didn’t even have a
compass. Ancient “star worship” is the expert’s lame explanation for this
phenomenon. The experts don’t have any answers when asked why a culture would
worship a pinpoint of light in the night sky. The ancients often say they were
aligned that way because the true builders came from those stars. This, of
course, is quickly dispatched into the “religious myths” slot.
Records
and Plans
Even with the advent of computer design programs, reams of drawings,
records, and specifications are still required for even minor construction
projects. This of course is impossible in a culture that didn’t even have a
written language, but why were their no drawings, or any type of records for
such massive projects? And, why is this true at virtually all the thousands of
monoliths and megaliths around the world? This enigma isn’t even addressed.
The Enigma of
Regression of Knowledge
Perhaps the most perplexing aspect of ancient construction is the
absence of progress either before or after. There is no evidence that there was
an evolution of construction knowledge before these advanced construction
projects took place. No lesser structures are in evidence before massive structures
suddenly appear with obvious unbelievable success. And, what was the state of
progress after such wondrous construction accomplishments? They were dismantled
for use in inferior building projects.
Many other unanswered questions and unexplained enigmas about these giants
exist. Why did widely scattered and diverse cultures all over the planet have a
strikingly similar obsession with gigantic building blocks? How can the experts
even try to determine the age of these giants when they have no points of
reference or weak ones at best? And, the most important question is also the
most perplexing. Why do the experts ignore the fact that every shred of
evidence proves these megaliths and monoliths were built by an advanced race of
beings whose knowledge, skills, and tools rival, and often surpass, those of the
21st Century? Why do the experts ignore the ancient writings of the
eyewitnesses, often the only records available to them? They are ignored
because they speak of an advanced race of beings with wondrous powers, which
modern culture would consider advanced technology. Megaliths
take many forms. They are distinguished by massive stones, monoliths, which are
their main structural components..Pyramids and obelisks are the most common and
easily recognized megaliths. The other common megalith types include
dolmens, menhirs, and tumuli. Dolmens usually contain one or more chambers
or rooms thought to be used as burial chambers or temples. Menhirs are
large standing stones, or groups of standing stones, arranged in circles, or
cromlechs, and henges. Tumuli are tombs which are covered with earth to
form mounds. Statues and other large single standing stones are often
monoliths.
Almost every megalith is
given a designation as a temple, altar, idol, or other religious title. It
is, of course, once again, the standard of experts to give this classification due
to the local cultures associated with them as always being considered religious
zealots for building them. In other words, it is beyond their limited view
to see any other purpose for them. The singular view that almost every cut
or engraved object found in any Mesoamerican culture had to be used for blood
rituals, is a classic example of this narrow scope of thinking. It is hard
to perceive that these cultures all had a very strong infrastructures, with
governments, agriculture, trade, transportation systems, education, recreation,
art, and many other vibrant aspects to them. With every object found at a
site being classified as a palace for a god-king, a temple, an altar, an idol,
or a tomb, the true aspects of a culture are lost in a haze of false religious
trappings.
