I wonder why such a vast Galactic Command only interrupted Cliff Michelmore in Suffolk? I bet if they’d looked out the window they would haves been a furtive looking bloke with a pram, a tape recorder, a small transmitter and a couple of car batteries.
How do you think community radio in the UK started?

Um…the Egyptians of course.
The Egyptians don’t have the ability to build the pyramids today. How do you suppose they did it 4000 years ago?

All facilitated by an unlimited supply of slave labour and rammed earth slopes … not forgetting good sturdy ropes and log rollers.

Why do we assume that we are more intelligent than previous humans? Could it be that we have been here before and realised where all the progress would take us?
The human race is the most adaptable and innovative species on the planet…

How did they cut the stones so precisely that they fit together so tightly that there’s no need for mortar. The stones have no chisel or saw marks to suggest they were cut with conventional tools.

They were cut with a saw but not as we would recognise it. The cutting medium was sand & water poured into the cutting slot from above as the copper blade did the work. A small-scale reconstruction is shown below without any saw tooth marks as the copper does not need teeth. Remember, this was in granite and not sandstone which is much softer.

Crikey, they must have had a few blisters sawing through 4.5 million tons of stone with one of those.

This reminds me of that 60’s thing when Von Daniken said the Nazca lines had been drawn by astronauts.That’s was wrong too of course but it did help sell his book

Actually this is a bit of a furphy, they were clever enough to taper the stones very slightly so that only the very edge fits very precisely a much easier task, behind that edge they just place fill to keep the face of the stone at the right angle. It wasn’t that difficult.
