Heh :-)
That reminds me, I must read Nick Cook's 'Hunt for Zero Point' sometime.
Supposedly a good read with some pretty compelling evidence.
Nothing like a good conspiracy theory. I do have some good photos of the
modern day remains of whatever the Nazi's *were* researching out in
Poland 60 years ago which makes for interesting speculation. Who knows
what was being attempted there.

And what were the Germans researching in Poland 60 years ago? Enquiring
minds want to know! :)
I find allot of the magical technology needed to make ancient structures is
not that magical at all. All that's needed is good planning, somebody who
can do simple math, allot of labor, and the will to expend allot of time and
energy to get the thing done. I don't think the pyramids of Egypt are a
technological marvel, they are a marvel of execution. Ask somebody to spend
most of their summer out in a desert pulling massive rocks up a ramp for 40
years (their whole dam life back then) so Bill Gates can have a cushy place
to rot in and people would tell you to go pound salt. If some cleric wakes
up one day and says Allah needs a pyramid built in the desert in his name
now you have millions of dedicated volunteers to do the job and it WILL get
done. We tend to forget that these magical ancient people (with help from
aliens) did get the angles needed to keep the structure stable wrong and had
to start over or change the blueprints (after working dozens of years) when
the pyramid fell apart.
People get too caught up in the current way things are done to see that
there are very simple ways to do the same exact thing if you have enough
labor and the will to do it.
Do you need a college trained surveyor team with laser rangefinders and
massive earthmovers to flatten a few acres so you can build a pyramid that
doesn't have a slant in it? No, you don't. Have a few thousand people clear
off the sand till they hit rock, then dig small channels every so many yards
that intersect every so often. Flood the ground with water and then just
clear the rock until it at water lever all over and your done (except for
letting the water drain or evaporate and filling in the channels).
Have an orchard that has too many birds eating your crop? You can either
rent a few plains to spray pesticide or do what the Chinese did and have the
village show up with sticks and beat the tree branches causing all the birds
to fly around scared with no place to land until they die of exhaustion and
all fall down dead (seen it done in a video and it doesn't take that long,
very simple method if you have the people to do it). Chinese built whole
runways for B-29's in record time during WWII with just human labor and
common sense building techniques. That country has a history of doing clever
things to get the job done, now that they can make their own computer chips
and are coming out of the economic stone age (meaning instead of being cheap
labor for outside companies they are building the industry up themselves)
other countries better look the out.
