Welcome everyone! Let's hit it off strong with a discussion on the politics of "knowledge" and the problem of the megalithic work scattered all over the world that has not been adequately addressed by mainstream academics. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rQwWtEHE5FE&t=1830s

The inertia of the human mind and its resistance to innovation are most clearly demonstrated not, as one might expect, by the ignorant mass--which is easily swayed once its imagination is caught--but by professionals with a vested interest in tradition and in the monopoly of learning. Innovation is a twofold threat to academic mediocrities: it endangers their oracular authority, and it evokes the deeper fear that their whole, laboriously constructed intellectual edifice might collapse. The academic backwoodsmen have been the curse of genius from Aristarchus to Darwin and Freud; they stretch, a solid and hostile phalanx of pedantic mediocrities, across the centuries. Arthur Koestler, The Sleepwalkers [New York, 1959], p. 427.
It's pretty apparent at thispoint that there was an old, ancient race or races that could do some cool shit. Namely, You've got the Pyramids, the Sphinx, Machu Pichu, Aztec temples the list goes on. Some of the craziest looking stuff remains in India, like the temple carved out of the ground, or the "Lions Claws" in Sri Lanka.
One day, perhaps we'll know more. But for the time being it's more grouping it all together - finding more megalithic buildings/capabilities and start realizing the breadth of it all.
