I don't underestimate the knowledge and ability of our ancestors. Sometimes we can't find an explanation, but I believe there is lost knowledge.

do you think they figured out these knowledge all by themselves 👀 or learned from others?

It was a transfer of knowledge, skills and technology imo. Brought in by a more advanced human civilisation. I don’t tend to subscribe to the ancient alien hypothesis.

Brought in by a more advanced human civilisation.

I also believed this, but then how these more advanced human figured it out?

Knowledge is passed down from generation to generation and some falls by the wayside, but I think it's all the result of human knowledge. I don't believe that aliens have already arrived on earth :)

Exactly what the aliens among us would say….

what if it is the other way around - all the core knowledge was passed down somehow, and some got extinct, and ofc different ppl invented new things with the old knowledge.

just guessing 👀

Humans are so unevolved! They still struggle with basic societal issues like inequality, violence, and environmental destruction. How can they still be so heavily reliant on finite resources? And don't even start me on their social structures it is all conflicts and division rather than cooperation and unity. Humans have barely begun to explore their own solar system, let alone the galaxy. No way they will reach a third millennium ...

Fascinating study by primatologists that when one troop of primates discover the use of tools (ie for extracting termites from nests) there will be correpsonding tool use from a different troop despite no contact. But that’s not necessarily relevant - just interesting.

Something happened when hunter-gatherer societies settled. The centralised storage of excess foodstuff and its use towards the cultural (rather than survival) gave groups the ability to build these monuments and perhaps these ideas spread with trade; initially flint tools or similar and later with more specialised goods.

I do love archaeology and anthropolgy.

💯They were a lot more advanced back then than we give them credit for. Imo they had advanced skills and technology.

Yes, why not?

They had their entire lifetimes and nothing else to do.

E.g. Just using some kind of wood contraption and moving it centimeter by centimeter over the span of years.

Our modern ignorance of their ancient ways..
