Lots of theories on how they did it, not much replication of what they did. I didn't say anything about aliens I am just comfortable with "we don't know what we don't know". A lot of folks have to pretend to have all the answers when they don't.Oh, you mean like the Incans?
We know exactly how they did it, is no mystery at all. The same way the Greeks and Romans did it.
We know how those other people did them, because we know how the Greeks and Romans did it. And to be honest, it always strikes me as more than a tad racist when people just jump to "Aliens" when some culture other than Europeans are able to accomplish the same feats of engineering.
There are multiple ways to recreate that kind of walls, it only requires the desire to do it.
Hell, and here you are talking about 200 ton stones. The Romans without tools much more advanced than the Egyptians were moving and raising stones of over 1,000 tons. SO what is so impossible about moving 200 ton stones, when with almost the exact same tools the Romans were doing it with stones 5 to 8 times as massive?
Then how about actually showing what it is you mean, then?
There are none there. Not a single one.There are many. Here are a few.
10 Ancient Technologies We Cannot Recreate Today - Listverse
History slowly and inevitably decays into mystery. As time passes, we lose knowledge and culture to the invisible realm of the forgotten. The more we diglistverse.com
And apparently vaporized all of their advanced structures and inventions.A tougher but dumber tribe wiped out the smarter tribe.
Chinese writing 5000 years ago. So we only know about the last 5000 years really. Before that is a blur. Floods. Oral history.
Cool you have all the answers.There are none there. Not a single one.
Take a look at the symmetry. This is granite. Show a piece of granite carved anytime in the last 100 years that exhibits that level of precision, in multiple planes, and angles.A picture, that's it?
That's your proof, a picture and nothing else?
Hey I’m not sold on it was ancient aliens. I suppose if presented with all the facts we have now I’d agree with you. But remain optimisticly skepticalOh, you mean like the Incans?

Whiny non sequiturCool you have all the answers.
Do you know what will remove granite precisely?
Yes, I believe I addressed that with my 90 degree angles are easy. What is hard are the compound curves. So, mr. genius, how do you do compound curves?Simple, it was not carved.
Wow, you really do not know how those were made?

Granite.
You carve a block close to the shape you need, then put it on top of another and move them back and forth. In doing so you will grind the faces that meet smooth. It works with any form of stone, or even bricks. This is a technique used even to this day. Another is to simply split a larger stone, smooth the faces, then put them back in the same order where you want them. Once again, a technique still used to this day. We simply don't do it with such massive stones because there is no need to do it with such massive stones.
So what, because it has not been done in 100 years, you assume it was magic or aliens or something like that? Did the ancient Romans or Greeks require magic or aliens or Gods to do the exact same things? All those walls I showed above, those were Greek and Roman walls. Why were they able to build it themselves, yet any other non-European cultures that did the exact same thing need something else?
This is why I tend to look at all those who throw around such nonsense as closet racists. The very fact that nobody disputes the Romans or Greeks being able to do that, yet anybody else of darker skin that does it must have had alien or supernatural help.
Or maybe the fact that no one has even re-created A PORTION of an ancient wonder,is because we don't know how. The attempt to re-create a Stonehenge trilithon 30 years ago was an epic failure.It is still done to this day for decorative purposes.
Sure, not with such massive stones, why? No more than we rebuild Stonehenge, the Great Wall of China, or most other ancient monolithic structures. Why in the hell would we replicate them?
But there is no "secret" or even lost technology behind making walls like that. There is simply no need to do so, so nobody does it anymore.

Not "airtight" and they had nothing better to do. Just because they were using old tech by today's standards; doesn't mean they were inept, or lacked an eye for quality. When they built these structures, they were literally using the cutting edge technology of the day. And they were well practiced, and quite good at it...There are many examples of ancient buildings as well as artifacts we cannot replicate even with our latest technology. For example there sites with walls constructed with massive irregular boulders weighing as much as 200 tons that fit together air tight with no mortar. How would we do that with machines? Furthermore why would primitive people make the enormous investment in labor to build these massive structures only with primitive tools? There is no evidence of heavy machinery or technology at any of the ancient sites.
I already said, grinding them together.
What, you think that only works on flat planes?
Come on, this is not rocket science here. Stone of the same hardness will grind way on each other equally.
