SEVERAL THOUSAND years ago people evidently built huge structures out of huge rocks, all over the world, which look incredible today. Stone cutters using lasers and computers claim that they cannot build the same structures themselves with huge granite and marble and limestone rocks as perfectly, flatly shaped and fitted, with holes as round and perfect, as the ones built, evidently, by ancient, supposedly primitive peoples.
this is why many people believe that humans had help from aliens. It truly seems possible, even necessary. But beware. We have always underestimated our ancestors. We have no proof. A nice super high tech ancient artifact would be nice, but, so far, no go. Ancient manuscripts describe godlike beings, which might be aliens.
Will we ever know the truth? The apparent answer might be "no". However, there is still much information to discover, and a strong liklihood that future human technology will be the key. Perhaps a time machine to watch stonehenge being built.
Even people wearing togas and feathers and cooking over campfires can work together in large numbers, over longs periods of time, with remarkable precision. Slave labor is cheap. But still, how do you take a fairly large, fairly flat rock, and make it even flatter to within a millionth of an inch of perfect flatness, over and over again, using nothing more technologically advanced than chisels, hammers, rope, grease, fire, knives, sharp edged wood planes, and nails?
By being very very patient and careful? Could our humble modern stonecutters, with their lasers and computers, match the ancients after all, with just a little more patience? No, they say, and who are we to argue?
Consider the question fifty fifty, with strong hope for future resolution.
