Your funny 😂...it's amazing how hard people try to mask the truth. So who paid you? Are you part of the alphabet groups? Or part of " the intellectual" that are hell bent on proving MAN is responsible for things they didn't even have to tools to do. Everyone should look at this video as comedy

You could write an entire encyclopedia library on the things that Brian Forrester gets wrong

What kills me about all these "ancient aliens"/"ancient civilization" people step over a hundred pieces of data to pick up five or six random bits, then weave a narrative whole cloth that ignores 99% of the actual evidence, but fits comfortably into whatever vague nonsense they're selling.

When they Romans needed to build a mountain (ramp) to siege Masada (1,500 feet), it only took them between 4-7 months. About half a year to make a small mountain and attack it with battering rams. So of course they could build Ba'albek.

That guy is absolutely pretending to give a talk to a room, but when he looks up he only ever looks at the camera

The megaliths of Baalbek are definitely Pre-Inca.

Perfectly laser round. Perfectly laser smooth. Perfectly laser straight. Perfectly laser flat. I wish the Roman masons were here to hear that.

those who doubt human ability to move large objects with simple techniques should look up the well documented 'Thunder Stone" moved to St. Petersburg in the 1700's - or how the City of Chicago, including massive buildings, was raised several feet in the 1800's using little more than the simple ancient technology of screw jacks.

I love how you're debunking these claims - in a calm and polite way (unlike some other channels out there) Out of interest, would you have any vids on the marks and holes in Egyptian granite, some are claiming were created using circular saws and tube drills?

27:30 He IS just eyeballing it. Notice how the pictures are always at an angle. They never show the straight edge actually close up touching the stone. Also, any tradesman worth a damn would use a longer straight edge on such a large surface.

The frustration of Forester's cult followers in this comment section is truly astonishing.

Dr Miano once again provides a highly informative refutation of Foerster's wild assertions. "World of Antiquity" is very educative in that you learn a great deal sound history in the process of watching the refutation of these conjectures that are relentlessly presented by Brien Foerster as proper research. Thank you Dr Miano.

"Ahhh, another giant rock, ancient high technology spotted!" These guys are crazy. Generalizing everything, undermining the intelligence and ingenuity of these ancient civilizations.

Hobby researchers are good with asking clever questions. The problem is their attempt to give answers. They ignore the huge amount of knowledge that exist within ”mainstream academics”, while they base their own (exotic) theories on empty words like ”obviously” or ”unquestionably”. Mainstream academia may not be perfect, but we do have the ability to persevere with a problem until it is solved and then carefully document it.

Great video! Why are we taught that ancient people were ignorant brutes? Their lives were very simple compared to ours. They had a lot of time to master stone working!

I personally have used stones larger than cars in constructing retaining walls. So, am I a megalithic craftsman or builder? (tbh, I guess I almost am... it is that pesky "happened a decade or so ago" part that prevents it from being actually true, given that the term is properly applied to things from the distant past, not-so-much stuff from just a few years ago.) Working with stone of that size really made me appreciate just how skilled people in the past were. It is almost trivial today (almost, because safety is a concern) with the power equipment like the excavators we had. I never really get how people go from "damn, I am impressed that they could do this all those thousands of years ago." to "no way in hell they did this." I mean, it is obvious that it was done, as you can see these all over, someone had to do it and adding in some "other" that did the work with no evidence of this "other" existing, or existing in that area, is one hell of a leap. addendum: We would joke about creating megaliths when we did work like that. And to be fair the word in itself only means giant motherf---er of a stone. And I guess that in the eyes of someone 3k years from now, maybe we did create some megaliths. edit: I don't have a problem with people who, due to lack of knowledge, say things like "I find it hard to believe that _____ built this." That is healthy skepticism. I draw a line when people outright refuse to believe that people could build these things when shown evidence that they did in fact build them. There is no "change my mind" philosophy behind such statements, while that is very much a part of a scientific mindset.

I built a limestone shed I used really big blocks on the bottom and smaller blocks as I went up the wall ...it was easier than lifting the big blocks Groundbreaking facts Also you can't achieve curves and arches with massive blocks up top

Also he wasn’t talking about all the granite pillars he was implying the few stones that are insanely huge , if you are from the Middle East you know a lot of the Roman and Greeks actually built over these places that already existed and claimed it as if they built it . Certain things they did build but others hey didn’t

I think what the alternate history fans have to answer is why is it that Rome happened to be founded in a field of random Egyptian obelisks, that didn't influence Roman culture, and weren't even mentioned until they had to make up stories on how they were moved there. Really the late antiquity emperors were quite lucky no one had mentioned some of the largest obelisks until they came to power. And if these alternate history fans can admit that these giant objects were moved by the Romans, why is it that other objects couldn't have been moved by the Romans?

Thank you for taking the time to make this detailed video. It's shocking how many people believe that Santa Claus built anything that they are too lazy to do the science on. Guess what? People can move mountains when they are motivated.

Isn't it funny, that Brien reads his entire presentation, and can never once bring his eyes to the audience while he is speaking? This is very clear body language which says "I'm lying to you all but can't look you in the eye while I'm doing it." Either that or, "Despite saying the exact same stuff for many years, I still can't remember a single sentence of my presentation."

I wish people would realize that learning how those people made those structures is much more interesting than fairytales and conspiracy theories.

How is this guy not laughed out of giving lectures talking about his crazy ideas and theories for history? He really does have a low opinion of ancient human builders. The ancients are way more capable and intelligent than we give them credit for.

Dang I feel silly, I fell for this nonsense. I'm glad I found your channel!

I'm no archaeologist but i like history you make a great point about the smaller work beneath the monoliths and when I seen one of their other videos before yours I saw in south America smaller work like the top of monoliths underneath and always wondered how they came to these conclusions but anyway thanks professor!!!

I would like to ask the builders did you save time cutting & moving huge stones vs: cutting up smaller stones making the moving less difficult? Or did you incorporate huge stones for earthquakes?

Funny thing about Brien is that his books and lectures are pretty much the same things, almost word for word. If you heard a lecture, you might as well have read his book. Apparently he’s teaming up with Jimmy Atlantis, which is a huge step backwards if you ask me.

Beautiful debunk. You are a gift to proper research and LOGIC.

Whats more impressive than the monuments themselves is people two thousand years later refuse to believe people made them. That's how you know you where working with artisans not just simple masons.

Excellent work again. The way he definitively makes statements about what Romans could and could not do shows he has zero interest in truth. It is about preserving the business model. For all the things that might be argued that he doesn't know basic facts on stone work, and makes a business of talking about stone, shows either total laziness in the issues he pretends to be passionate about, or shows he does know the basics but peddles falsehoods to preserve his profit margin.

I really enjoyed this commentary on Brian foresters work. I've been watching his videos (and others like him) for a couple of years now. And haven't been able to find anyone to refute what they are saying. Until now. Instead of just calling him a nut job. You used a lot of facts to back up your position and refute his. You channel is exactly what I've been looking for, thank you very much for this informative presentation. I look forward to hearing the response that he (Brian forester) might have for you. If he responds.

"Dude, there's no way that ancient people could've made these!" "So here's a passage from back then detailing how they made these..."

An obelisk taken to Constantinople was set upon a base that is carved with a scene of it being raised with ropes and pullies. Also, it's set on lead blocks, which apparently act as shock absorbers during earthquakes.

Looking forward to the "giant lathe" and megalithic rock transporter slide shows by Brian.

You should visit the temples in south India. It will blow your mind when you see chains made out of granite and a whole temple carved out of a a hill & also the pillars at the Warangal Temple and the extremely precise ceiling carvings. I would really love your explanation on that. Also explain how Angkor wat temple was made.

Brien: Roman Engineering did not exist. David: Hold my beer ...

An interesting point about the columns on the Pantheon: these columns (their origins are correctly stated) were not made for the Pantheon; archaeological work unearthed the original plan of that building on the ground right before it (probably as a builder's aid). The original plan was for taller columns, but the columns made for it sank in a storm during transport in the Mediterranean. The Pantheon was to be completed by a very important religious/political festival, so the existing columns were "robbed" off of another, smaller temple. The Pantheon, essentially a large sphere with a rectangular box attached, had to have an extra raised box added to it, which can be seen when looking at the front elevation. The extra box had to be added to balance the proportions, because the columns used were too short. Interestingly, an analogous example exists in Colonial Williamsburg, (Williamsburg, Virginia) which was the British capital of the American colonies before the Revolution. The pediment extending over the porch of the Court House simply hangs in the air with no columns beneath it (that wooden pediment is actually cantilevered from the main structure and columns are not structural requirements). The Brits had made and shipped stone columns for the Court House, but they sank into the Atlantic during a storm while on their way. So the pediment simply hovers over the porch to this day.

What about the perfectly shaped caves in granite in India? There are quite a few artifacts and examples which cannot be explained with "many people simple tools" theories. Look at the granite boxes in serpeum for instance. No way they are made with simple chisels. I support critical debate and this is a good contribution, but it definitely do not debunk "extinct high civilisation" theories.

There should be a Nobel price for fact checking.

Holy Shit! The comments on this video?! I’m so sorry so many people cannot appreciate your scientific spirit. I loved your video and am really thankful for the work that went into it!

Foerster was one of the first getting me curious and asking questions, but I agree that some of his theories can be a bit tedious. Especially when he walks around Egypt and talks about everything having heat damage from some cataclysmic event.

"Lemurian Blue" granite for example varies in hardness over its surface making consistent polishing a challenge, the harder the granite the easier it is to polish the less dense areas appearing dull by contrast so including granite in the mohs scale is a generalisation. Modern masons use "Jenny Lind" polishing machines and chemical colour enhancers to achieve consistency, notably on black granite. These outstanding ancient masons would be familiar with tools found in modern studios such as bow saws, French drags, tooth axes, Crandall and bushing hammers, etc. I would respectfully suggest that all these disciples of Mr Hancock visit a Stone masons yard and be educated in the movement, cutting and polishing of stone without the use of diamond tools. A friend of mine recently observed masons at work in India, not a diamond tool in sight. Thankyou as always for a great presentation.

Stones were recycled from an earlier time. Does he mention the megaliths that were unfinished? They had "scoop marks" at the bedrock that look like ice-cream scoop marks, but they were made in granite. How was that done?

This channel is a breath of fresh air. Actually trying to explain it instead of saying. "Ancient alien theorists believe"

What I find more bizarre is where you find the patience to deal with these things. Who are you, The Buddha?

The Romans couldn't build that far from Rome? He'd be blown away by what they did in Mérida, Spain.

I used to lay tile, usually it was natural stone. Cutting stone is all about abrasion not any unbelievable technology. Straight lines are easily created by a taught string (laser straight). The massive workforce available to the Romans have the potential for massive amounts of work/time reduction. It is not so mysterious. These guys are selling mystery. It sparks the imagination and their claims are exciting but simply absurd.

People in the old times didn’t say I can’t and whine and cry . They just got shit done TOGETHER

I dare you to do a video about Brien Forester being wrong about his signature issue... elongated skulls.

Ouch! How long did it take for Brian Foerster to make contact and thank you for correcting his ridiculous ideas and stopping him looking silly? Because that could be his only response, right? My favourite bit was you pointing out the holes drilled in the side in order to move the unmovable giant stone block. Another fantastic debunk.

Foerster probably doesn't believe the obelisk at St. Peter's Square in the Vatican was brought from Egypt as we know it was.

The Romans hauled off huge obelisks from Egypt back to Rome. So they could bring some rocks from anywhere they wanted. It's called history.

I love these theories. It’s the tv show timeline on Netflix. You know it’s crap, but it’s somewhat entertaining. You have no ideas how many hours I’ve wasted with friends and colleagues watching documentaries like that. In the end, we would try to proof it, but always failed. LOL

One of the things that really get me. When someone is looking at something made in past. One of the first thing to come out of their mouth, is they did not have the tools or technology to make some thing like this back then. If they did not have the tools and technology to make it, it then it would be around for them to find it. Then there is the Giza Pyramids. They clam we could build them to day. We could could build them, we have the technology. What we don't have is those that would want to build them. The time and cost to do it, is not worth it to them is the truth of it. This is why we do not have people living on the Moon or Mars right now. It's about coast to do it. and no profit to do it. If there was profit to do it. We would have found a way to do it by now.

“A lecture that he made. I’m not sure where”😂

What is up with Brien Foerster and his followers? Roman aqueduct systems, extensive and complex, were built over a period of about 500 years, from 300 B.C. to 200 A.D. The capital in Rome alone had around 11 aqueduct systems supplying freshwater from sources as far as 92 km away. If a culture can build all that, would they not also be able to cut, shape and transport granite? Use logic people.

Thank you for the meaningful information you spread all over this video. Just respect your lecture. Nothing less!

I'm just guessing here but when he says "Megalithic Age", maybe he's implying the period of time that Stonehenge was constructed, because you know, MYSTERIOUS CONSTRUCTIONS

Your videos are exactly what I wanted to see in history documentaries. It never ceases to amaze me how many incorrect or outright useless videos are out there, all at the top of the search page, luring in all the itchy ears. They sure go out of their way to create a mystic where science and information have already tread and retread. Thanks for giving us the facts.

You know something from the alternative side that is interesting are the protuberances found on the giant stones. You do see it around the world. Was just something small I noticed and what the alternative side likes to point out. I don't buy it was aliens or lost technology for a minute but that is interesting to see that same feature on stones around the world.

Great video. Ancient humans were a lot smarter than we think they were.

Somehow, the debunking format draws me in more than just a regular documentary on Baalbek would. I think it's almost like tension and release in music. It keeps the listener engaged

I’m SO GLAD you expose these grifters Dr Miano.

Putting a 50-ton granite column on a lathe is utterly impossible. Sorry ancient tech people. Stone has amazing compressibility, and incredible strength when in compression, just like concrete. But it also has no tensile strength, just like concrete. This is why we have to put reinforcing into concrete, and why we create pre-stressed, and/or post-stressed concrete when it has to span a gap. This is also why natural stone arches are quite rare, always arched, always amazing to see, and why they don't last for long. If you tried to pick up a granite column just by each end, it will immediately snap in the middle. A column is only strong in one direction, downwards! Not sideways! A lathe only supports the workpiece at each end, and it drives only one end. I know this very well, because I have a lathe, and have used them for decades. Wood is a very amazing substance, and it has incredible strength in both compression AND in tension, and that is why we build our houses out of wood. Wood is easy to lathe because it retains a lot of tensile strength even when the cross-section is small. No stone has the tensile strength to support 25 feet of cantilever with just 5 feet of diameter! Only reinforced concrete, or massive and tall wooden beams, or huge steel I-beams can handle such enormous cantilever loads. Unreinforced concrete would fail instantly - just as granite would in the same scenario. So, anyone who suggests you can put a 50-ton, 50-foot piece of stone in a lathe is an absolute idiot and knows nothing about lathes, or stone, or how wood differs from stone. So it is a pretty spectacular failure to anyone with even a little knowledge of the physical world. Once again - sorry, ancient tech guys. I know you really believe this bullshit, but as Mark Twain (Mr Samuel Clemns) famously said, "It is much easier to fool a man than to convince him he has been fooled." The truth hurts you so much, because you are emotionally invested in lies and falsehoods. And to admit you have been deceived, and now wish to understand the facts is a very difficult thing to do, because it involves being honest with yourself, and requires you to admit your mistakes to yourself. That is not an easy thing to do. And once you do accept your mistaken beliefs, you also need to accept what you have done and said in the pursuit of justification for your bizarre beliefs. You have appeared very foolish to a very large number of people. And not just foolish: wilfully and aggressively so. I have been fooled by people in the past. It is no fun, and I feel a bit sad for all of you.

Dr. Miano, thank you for the outstanding work you're doing here. This channel is popular science in its truest form - focused on making actual academic knowledge accessible to non-academic people. As a person with a hobbyist interest in ancient history I really appreciate your efforts to give people like me free and easy access to reliable source of knowledge, half of which I could never hope to access, compile and make sense of on my own. When it comes down to it, as a hobbyist history buff I've started from the position not so different than the Ancient Advanced Civilization Fandom - I was fascinated by the world people lived in thousands of years ago and had pretty much no idea how they did stuff back then. I'm not from the USA, so I'm sure my elementary and high school curriculum was different (and the only aspect of antiquity I had to study during my university education was law), but what I've learned back then was mostly about wars and political power structures and biographies of some Important Dead People. There was a fair bit on Important Old Buildings, but it was mostly about what and where those buildings were, not how they were made and how they tied into the broader context of the societies that made them (like the granite shipping industry you've mentioned in this video). So I couldn't have explained HOW Baalbek temple (or Egyptian pyramids, or Mayan, Aztec and Incan temples/cities) were actually built any better than the AAC fandom. And if all I've had to go on was a vague image of a dozen or so guys dabbing at giant stones with chisels the size of my butter knife and paranoid mistrust in academic knowledge, then I suppose I would see ancient aliens as the more plausible explanation as well. Which is my long-winded way of saying - thank you for dismantling that butter-knife-chisel image one video at a time :). If I could be so forward as to make a few requests for future content, I would love to see your video on Petra and Qasr Al Fareed (Bright Insight has a supremely mis-informed video on that topic) or on the stone jars found underneath the Saqqara pyramid (this was something I saw in UnchartedX's video on the supposed unbelievability of the timeline of the Ancient Egypt; there was a few outlandish claims about Turin Kings List papyrus in the same video). I also appreciate that you point out in your videos how equating ancient non-Europeans with primitive people incapable of ingenuity and organization is prejudice (if only subconscious one), but I would love if you'd elaborate more on the subject in future videos. I would be interested in learning not just about the methods of cutting stone, but the organization, scale and specialized skill and knowledge of people involved in building pyramids - the estimated number of workers, who they were, how involved the pharaoh was personally in those building projects (from some claims made by AAC crowd one would think the pharaoh was basically the foreman personally overseeing the horde of unskilled laborers, which I somehow doubt). Once again, thank you for all your work. I look forward to seeing more of your videos.

10" square pressed up against 7ft diameter surface 'It's laser perfect!'

Jimi Hendrix is a sophisticated musical cyborg created by a lost civilization. Try play like him, I can’t and don’t know anyone that can. Case closed.

This series of yours is great. You are saying all the things that I had thought while having watched these videos previously( these others not yours). I am so happy to have stumbled across your channel sir. And I know I'm not supposed to start a sentence with a preposition but, thank you for the heart of acknowledgement. It brought a genuine tear to my eye to be appreciated, thank you again. Your pal Al. Peace.

He says the granite was taken "up the Nile" instead of down the Nile. lol

The 330ton Vatican obelisk was moved from Egypt to Rome, it stood for 1500 years until it was relocated in 1585 to it's current position. It took 900men and 140 horses to erect the 330ton obelisk. Sketches can be seen of that moving event. If they could ship and erect a 330ton stone from Egypt, couldn't they also move ('only' side) a 1000ton stone over 900 meters in Baalbek? Likely so. The 1900 year old Trajan's Column has a 53.3 ton capital block that was lifted and placed on 34meter height. Don't underestimate what the Romans were capable of.

Brien Foerster, Hancock and Randall Carlson in Archeology and HIstory are basically the same type of guy like Frank Dux or George Dillman in Martial Art.

Brilliant work, well done, I learnt things I didn’t know

I'm always curious to know exactly how advanced these ancient advanced civilisations are supposed to be.

To me this is constructive criticism that needed to happen. It's almost like a evolution vs creation debate. I too was initially somewhat intrigued by this alternate historian so to speak. To be fair he is not without knowledge on history especially regarding Peru sites. I began though to see problems in the claims being made, most notably the repetitive claim that bronze age technology could not possibly have done this stonework in Peru. I was not seeing any demonstrations of metal work failing or that metal work was even part of the process. Nothing! The correlations only continued as I watched this video. I had then had no doubt that the scientific method is not satisfactory for some people and probably won't be changed. Thankyou Dr. David Miano!

As a school teacher I immediately recognize the dumb student who thinks he's the smartest of them all. That's an F, Brian.

Him claiming that the surface of the bottom of one(?) of the column(s) is 'almost laser-flat' - when seeing him 'measuring' and concluding that statement with nothing more than a standard 25cm (or 10 inches) long 90-degrees tool (sorry-don't know the name of the tool in English, but I'm sure you know what I mean) is just ludicrous....that he didn't at least use a 'ruler' (again-don't know what the name of that tool is: the one with water and an airbubble in it?) as long as the column's diameter, at the very least. Well, as someone who's used to work with wood - it really does surprise me, to say the least. How on earth are you supposed to judge, even with your eyes, how 'flat' something is without having at least some kind of tool that's as long as the diameter (and of course-accurately 'flat')? We have, historically at least, for a long time kept underestimating the capabilities of our forefathers.....but - after a couple of centuries of countless finds such as these ones (even totally buried ones), and also written records as well as other strong indicators that strongly suggest that this or that empire or people did in fact erect these impressive monuments themselves (be it preserved on paper, papyrus or clay, etc.) - you'ld think that era would be over by now...? BUT - apparently not, I guess. Sure - these monuments, all over the world are immensely impressive. Without a doubt. Especially when considering that they had to do everything, at every step purely by hand. BUT, again - we mustn't forget that practically EVERYTHING had to be done by hand in those days, which of course means that ALL artifacts, as well as all kinds of artisans in those days were well versed in making everything by hand. Every single 'step' of it...And since there wasn't even a though given to any alternative, since there were none: people probably started to 'work on their skills' from early childhood - not like today, where we have the choice of using modern machinery. Which of course ultimately means that ALL and every artisan, regardless which material used were very well-versed in making all things - from start to finish - entirely by hand! AND - that there must have been a lot more of these artisans. That's at least what my reasoning and logic is telling me. Also - isn't the fact that these guys not only are selling books and making a living out of their 'special theories' a bit suspicious? Especially while they also 'offer' tours where they will "reveal the real truth" about these 'megalithic structures' - for a handsome fee...to me at least it sounds almost a bit 'cultish'!!! *ALARMBELLS!* Sorry, got a little 'worked up' I guess. Great video, as always Mr. Miano. Subscribed as soon as I saw your channel, since I'm a bit of a 'history-nerd' - and you and your content are so great! (If it wasn't for the fact that I'm simply not in a position where I'm financially able to - I'ld support your channel in a heartbeat!). Cheers from Sweden!

I think Foerster is a charlatan. Him dismissing archaeologists and proposing his own utter tripe annoys me.

Would there not be evidence on the end of the column if they were shaped on giant lathes? Secondly, columns are used to withstand compression. I'm wondering what sort of forces would be affecting a long block of stone suspended by its ends on a lathe. I'm not good with physics and would love to know if such a machine even existed, would it be possible to turn a huge column on a lathe. Thanks for the video. ps How much do the Illumunati pay for masking the truth. I feel like it's time for a change in my career. Since THEY control the world, the money must be really good. (Sorry, after seeing the pinned comment, it had to be asked! lol)

I've watched this before but enjoyed it again. Thank you.

Oh gee I had no idea you two were aquinted. I've been bugging Brian's trip for awhile on Andean architecture. On columns it is said that the Pantheon portico is oddly shortened because the cargo ship carring a couple of columns from Egypt sunk.

Haven’t watched this yet, just sitting to do that now. Knowing already I’m going to enjoy this. Love ya work.

I can barely express how delighted I am that this video has nearly 2,000 views rn, but I'm still bummed that his video has over 300,000. So many people would rather believe fairy tales and nonsense rather than be fascinated by the REAL scholarly, informed research done on these sites. We need to make debunking nonsense as popular as the nonsense. SUPPORT THIS CHANNEL ON PATREON!!

In my youth (1992) I regularly moved weights of 22tons more than 500m on rollers by myself human power no pulleys or motor power. It could take hours of leveraging by hand. Oxen teams would have no problems moving many times that weight over long distances .

Brien Foerster takes the trouble of styling and curling his hair to achieve the Plato look. He's not a scholar but he attempts to look like one. Bravo Brien bravo your a regular Don Knotts.

One curious thing is that folks attracted to "alternative views outside of the mainstream" never seem to imagine a person like Foerster has simply created a money-making job for themself and they are now in it for the money. Of course that's what is going on. Foerster and others like him probably started out with enthusiasm for the topics, but then start making money and their goals shift. As a "mainstream scientist", I can assure you mainstream scientists are not in it for the money. There isn't a lot of money in mainstream science. There is, however, quite a bit of money to be had these days in doing what Foerster does. Why don't mainstream scientists do what Foerster does? Because it's stupid and embarrassing. Who would want to live their one life and come to the end of it having done nothing more than contributing misinformation to make a buck. I watched half this video and the creator does a good job systematically dismantling Foerster's misinformation. My goodness. What a waste.

I work at a lab where we research sonar and lidar. One day I talked to my engineers about the megalithic period. They laughed at the word. But when I told them the theory, they said, if you think the ancient world is fun, you should see the stuff we've found underwater. They send submersibles to look for planes, ships, and other lost military what not. Occasionally they find ruins and check to see if its on their map. Not sure who they use, but they've been to Alexandria and had pictures of the underwater stuff that their lidar revealed. Sad that so much got lost to an earthquake. Anyhow, my point was that their team and the other 5 in our lab have discovered so many ancient shipwrecks, ruins, and weird stuff that they had to stop mapping it. Some areas were full of red pins. They both believe that humanity was building things way earlier than academia would believe just from all the old stuff that's sitting around where it shouldn't be.

Your videos are really constructive and you make some excellent arguments. Thank you for taking energy and time to gather all the pieces of info together, i learn ALOT.

I'm on as streak watching all "myths of ancient history". They're extremely informative and entertaining, as you may know well 😂. Thank you!

The granite columns were pooped out by giant unicorns. If you can't find the giant lathe that made them, it was unicorns.

Excellent. I was slowly starting to get sucked in by the 'Alternate History' mob. I needed a reality check and this was it. I have subscribed and am working my way through your posts. Thank you.

I work on cnc processing of granite and marble ...You have no idea how difficult it is to work even today with such accuracy and dimensions ...I don't know who created Baalbeck but the story is definitely different .If you do not believe it, learn CNC machining yourself and show us how you process such columns and how long it will take you ....Your problem is theory and lack of practice ...

Damn you!! I have a yard full of rabbit holes that ive enjoyed playing in the last few years....you keep filling them in, one by one, but i cant stop watching!!

I don't know about you all, but I make sure to carve artwork into every retaining wall I see. Oh yeah, the trilithons are part of a retaining wall. Just so you know.

I would love to believe Brain Foerster's claims, but arguments and evidence to the contrary is very necessary, in a scientific debate. Like all scientific claims, they need to be be challenged, to prove or disprove said theory/study. Thank you for this!!

I just love how certain people are riding around the fact that your channel has less views than Foerster's. I mean, what does this have to do with the actual topic? 😆 One wants to desperately facepalm...

The stone quarry site is awesome. Thanks for showing this. Foerster strikes me as a bit odd. I wouldn't take one of his tours lol

Does that triangle ruler have a 'level' built into it? What exactly is he measuring? How can he be measuring the 'smooth' face of the pillar without taking consideration for how 'level' the ground is on which it's resting?

It is kind of strange that the Roman's could do that awesome granite work but thought the Egyptians obelisk where so amazing they would spend money and risk lives to move them all the way to rome

I recently saw a video showing Ben from UnchartedX and either Brien Foerster or Graham Hancock in Peru. It didn't take long until the whole video started to remind me of those clips of people hunting the paranormal. Everybody was suspicious about everything, but luckily obvious clues proved their thesis of higher powers to be correct. It nearly had pieces of a comedy. Thanks for sharing your knowledge. All the best to you and your family. EDIT: To me the picture showing the tunnel with different sized stones the stones to the side look like being exposed to fire or smoke from fire.
