How can the act of placing one stone on top of another to make a pyramid like structure be a human achievement? Maybe for 6yr olds.

It just means we don't know!!! Anyone read anything about Edward Leedskalnin and his coral castle? Exactly......let me read this coral castle of yours as well Enjoy every moment of your life, you never know when your time will come.

It's a historical fact that some of the dynasties were black, some semite, some greek and some mixed. The bottomline is that Egypt is was an African civilisation just as Nubia, Kush, Mali and others.
3. In addition to tools and buildings the egyptian civilisation gave the world religion, navigation,and writing.
4. The current controversy on the ability of "ancient" Egyptians is a result of colonialism and scramble for Africa in the 19th Century. A deliberate push to dehumanize Africans and justify colonisation. Note that they started by saying ancient Egyptians were Caucasian. When that theory was proved wrong, they said that pyramids were build by an alien ("white") race.
5. The thing is that modern western driven civilisation borrowed heavily from Africa, the Middle East and China but Africa's contributions are greatly downplayed. As to how those guys were able to decipher how the solar system operates, the dimensions of the earth, the accurate true north and all those design details, I dont think its doable without the help of complex computers and serious studies. Civilizations might have been there, but I doubt if they could pull off such massive stunts.... So who do think built the pyramids? Life is short. Live passionately.

Actually there's evidence of some alien help Also look up Teotihuacán pyramids No surprise tho, even the periodic table was written with Alien help "There are only two emotions in the market, hope & fear.

I totally agree Politics is just things to keep the people divided and foolish and put your trust in men and none of them can do nothing for you...

@murchr that link assumes there's nothing our ancestors knew that we don't But I'm convinced that today's civilization has led to some unlearning of things our ancestors knew. Take the case of ancient Polynesians sailing without navigation aids for thousands of kms. Just looking at clouds, stars, birds and finding land, not by fluke but methodically There's a lot we don't know today Quote:In island culture, the double canoe and its navigator were integral to the survival of the people. As an island became overpopulated, navigators were sent out to sail uncharted seas to find undiscovered islands. For weeks, they would live aboard boats made from wood and lashings of braided fiber. Thousands of miles were traversed, without the aid of sextants or compasses. The ancient Polynesians navigated their canoes by the stars and other signs that came from the ocean and sky. Navigation was a precise science, a learned art that was passed on verbally from one navigator to another for countless generations. http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/...a-genius-navigators.html
