Gorgeous!
do you think it was really built by humans? it's just too big, not to mention carrying all of them up to the hill...

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?
reply
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.
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 :)

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.
