Well antigravity research is the most common theory. The underground
complex is absolutely enormous, complemented by strange surface
structures buried within the countryside (the large concrete henge is
the one most often referred to).
Common sense seems to say that there's no reason to suspect that the
claims aren't true - of course how far the research went is quite
another matter :-)
Maybe I'll pick up Nick Cook's book this week sometime. I'm curious as
to what evidence he presents for the Nazi research being taken over by
the US at the end of the war.
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.
Absolutely. It's interesting how research in the last few years has
demonstrated that ancient civilisations knew far more about astronomy
than anyone previously expected though (I mean the fact that these
people knew way more than they were previously given credit for, not the
"maybe aliens helped them" angle :-)
But as you say, the creation of the structures themselves can be
explained away by lots of planning and physical labour.
Occasionally archaelogists do try and propose a link between ancient
civilisations and magic (and / or aliens) - Graham Hancock seems to be
at the forefront of these. :-)
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.
Well for the most part they got it right - the Bent Pyramid at Dahshur
is the most notable exception. Very impressive engineering though.
Anyway, I don't think I've ever been so far off topic ;-)
