I really don't expect most folks here to watch the above- but the TL/DW is it's a 3 hour video of how heavy objects are moved/transported today using all that the 21st technology has to offer. If you have even a slightest interest- then skim through the video but try to catch the actual weights of whichever object and the engineering involved in moving that one particular/specific object using modern day technology.
Again I just want to talk about facts/data- not thoughts/feelings.
And if you have enough of an interest in at least skimming that video let's go back to a previous comment I made and (keeping apples to apples) how comparable or better weighted objects were moved thousands of years ago. Here's what I'm talking about-
Starting with the previously mentioned and obvious example-

Estimates seem to suggest that this one pyramid is made of something like 2.5 MILLION (that's a number, or rather a term, often thrown around which is generally accepted these days as part of the modern vernacular now but I'd argue this number/term is beyond many folks comprehension). Moving forward- and we're completely setting aside the positioning/mathmatical/engineering elements, they moved these 2+ million blocks each weighing somewhere between something like 2-8 tons (4K-16K+ lbs), using something like 4 thousand year old technology (back when we were in the supposed "Bronze Age" and recently crawling out of caves just a short time prior) in exact mathematical precision AND moving these blocks of limestone... something like 1K kilometers...
I know most here are Americans and the metric system is for the French (trying to keep this post clean) but 1,000 kilometers (for us Americans equates to over 600 miles) Please allow me to provide an infographic that many of us Americans and comprehend on what that distance represents...

Again- I'm just trying to "restate" the rhetoric most of us were taught... all of the stones in the Pyramid(s) had to have been moved approximately 600 miles (represented as the radius in the above image). No "trickery" here- just a 600 mile radius being illustrated in the Central US for visualization purposes is all... Now keep in mind- not only did these stones (weighing in excess of 2-8 tons since they weren't yet "processed" move these 600+ miles & talking in "simple Simon" terminology did so at least 2.5 MILLION times for each block (which likely had to still be 'processed/measured/shaped') "they" as in the Ancient Egyptians were able to do this over 4,000 years ago using...

Ramps & Slavery(?) Don't forget ropes made of natural materials like hemp...

Again- take a step back and think objectively- does this narrative make any sense once you put things in relative compression to the distance traveled and the equipment we're told existed at the time and was overcome by nothing more than a Pharoh's will, a crap ton of slaves, some rolling logs, ramps and hemp rope? Surely this doesn't sound logical to an audience who were likely attracted to this forum because of trying to better understand ballasitics/ (in other terms) mathematics on how a 200gr bullet movie at however many thousand fps will behave depending on on elevation, geographic location, atmosphic conditions, etc etc but still accept sheer muscle, hemp ropes and determination were able to make shit happen with EXACTING mathematical precision. For fuck's sake- would any of us trust measurement devices made in prisons.... can you see it now- the SKILLCRAFT Gyroscope and SKILLCRAFT Bombsight proudly brought to you & your countrymen from blind employees?
Wrapping up my rant- we're conditioned not to question what we're taught in school. I'd argue that's both (a) a shame and (b) at least recently, by design. But the "logic" doesn't "logic" in this one example. If anything- the narrative is controlled by a country/nation dependent on the narrative that they "own" these structures and are dependent on the money tourism dollars brings in to see it. I doubt many here will argue with that statement either. But most of us understand the concept of "conflict of interest" and "independent verification" which we don't have in Egyptology (to be fair- they're likely playing 'catchup' to being raided by the British however many hears ago).
But we're supposedly "smarter" than our ancestors and we're surely smarter than our grandparents that got roped into political ideologies. We're living in the 21st century and have countless examples of our own government blatantly lying to us, covering up terrible indiscretions that were made under the blanket of "god & country" but are now to believe that that's a uniquely "blip" in only American political history and never in existence in other nations (to include Egypt).
I'm on a rant- or is it a quack(?) but I'll step off of my soapbox here- here's the TL/DR that I'm sure at least a few people are looking for...
The rhetoric often being taught in our history doesn't "math" or make sense to an independent thinker, I (personally at least) believe that there's financial incentives in controlling the rhetoric, and the long & short of my thoughts when it comes to the paranormal and this topic (again remembering my original post explaining that the "paranormal" is nothing more than topics beyond current scientific explanation and I think this qualifies).
As for the "so what"- while I "want to believe" as Mulder often said- my theory is a bit more 'boring' than extraterrestrial intervention creating some sort of phenomenon denoting advanced technology.
My theory is the history of humans is much older than we presently accept/ is portrayed as being absolute fact. In just my own life I remember being taught that Columbus "discovered" America only to find out that the evidence supports the vikings beat him by over 100 years.
I also believe that technology was far more advanced thousands of years ago than we've traditionally been taught. It's not a wild conspiracy/paranoid opinion either- it's just looking at standing examples from thousands of years ago of structures that existed in the BC era and are still standing today (again using only 'bronze" tools).

These structures are all clues to "our" past. These have stood for thousands of years but we still would struggle in modern day to construct similar methods using modern technology but these exist in all inhabited continents that we know of? And why/how is it that pyramids keep being repeated in different continents, how is it obelisks are also mirrored across the continents in almost perfect fashion?
I could keep going on but it's general accepted that the continents were once connected- I'm not the sharpest tool in the shed as they say (I'm sure many here feel the same way) but the simplest explanation I can personally come up with is humankind was advanced/organized/civilized thousands of years earlier than our present belief and dating back to at least when the continents were still connected. I also think I have a valid theory that it seems common practice of the "ancients" was to 'strike from the record' any history before their rule to either (a) spite their enemies form their 'glories' and (b) to lay claim to the successes of previous generations as their own....
Again- long story short- I think we're missing complete chapters that spans thousands of years in mankind's history. That's my best theory and I'm sticking to it.
