It is hard enough for normal sized humans with normal sized heads to get the calories they need in primitive conditions. A bigger body in proportion to head would make it even more difficult.

Chances are in warm weather they just let kids shit and piss without a diaper and hung them up out of the way. think of a frame type deal that supported the kids weight and protected its neck that could be attached to something with the baby kept off the ground.

Sadly, we only find out about many of these from people saying Aliens and time travel are the reason they exist, and other such things. Therefore, the videos are great for learning about other existing sites to specifically look at, but the rest of their theories can be tossed out easily. Many refuse to even watch videos titled with the shocking ancient aliens type titles, and don't know they're missing a lot by ignoring the fluff at 2x+ speed for the nuggets within. I haven't looked at related videos for a month or two now, and haven't come up with many things in the format people in this thread like (videos). Some photos with scant info, but forgot where/when, I forgot to post link in this thread, most of it was unrelated to topic, but the site wasn't. I don't have a browser history, maybe I should ask Google when I saw a neat ancient site in the cartel controlled area of Columbia which was half pilfered but outline and scraps visible. Would be a great place to dig, but with the way archeologists sort of take over everything and want a sterile and safe area, that won't work in cartel grow areas. IIRC, there was one video on something like that site already, this was just another. --ETA: And, after 41 pages, The consensus of most in this thread, as to the answer to the question in the title, is "We don't know who did it, and we don't know how it was done, but it's apparently different than who we were told did it and how they did it". |

If I were a space-farer and stumbled across this planet pre-human era, I wouldn’t put shit here. I’d place a monolith or a few or something similar on the moon. I’d prolly know the surface is ever changing planet-side so the chances of ever being found would go to zero but if I placed it/them on the moon the likelihood of losing one or two has been greatly minimized (impacts from space debris). Also, if whatever indigenous life this new planet should brood ever becomes advanced enough, matured enough to travel off-planet and explore, they might grasp and understand what it is I’ve left for them; that they are not alone and I am waiting for them.

They found a wolfs head in Siberia that still has fresh looking soft tissue after an estimated 30K years. The locals find this stuff all the time but don't turn it in because they are illegally hunting for ivory or other stuff. If they put a market value on complete animals and just let people collect ivory many more of these carcasses would make their way into public view.

FWIW, I do not believe that Cartesian math is the best system, nor is base 10. Base-2 is an ideal numbering system for signalling as signal integrity is best maintained, and a polar system related to circles is best for analog math. I am becoming increasingly skeptical that the Babylonians or Sumerians developed this system (base-12/60/360) on their own and that it was likely developed prior to their ruins.

Just read the whole thread.
I guess you guys have noticed the Egyptian>Greek>Roman>European>USA timeline for the pinnacles of civilization through the ages. Totally discounting oral traditions, or any civilization like the Chinese or Indian being more advanced for a time than the "chosen ones". Like Columbus discovering North America, even though there were 53 nations here, doing trade with the Vikings, and through the Chinese the Egyptians and Mediterraneans. Like the fact the Genghis Khan conquered and ruled more of the world than Alexander and Hannibal combined, but Alexander is The Great? I agree on all the ancient myths and legends recalling the same chain of events, regardless of the culture telling the stories. |

A while back I watched a documentary, "no really" about the statues at Easter Island, and how the oral tradition was the statues "walked" to where they were displayed. The main scientist also demonstrated how to build a platform on top of a huge block and by moving people back and forth on top, get the block to "climb" itself with other people adding blocks of wood under the ends as it climbed.

I discovered this earlier today: https://www.nasa.gov/topics/earth/features/japanquake/earth20110314.html
The calculations also show the Japan quake should have shifted the position of Earth's figure axis (the axis about which Earth's mass is balanced) by about 17 centimeters (6.5 inches), towards 133 degrees east longitude. Earth's figure axis should not be confused with its north-south axis; they are offset by about 10 meters (about 33 feet). This shift in Earth's figure axis will cause Earth to wobble a bit differently as it rotates, but it will not cause a shift of Earth's axis in space—only external forces such as the gravitational attraction of the sun, moon and planets can do that.
Both calculations will likely change as data on the quake are further refined. In comparison, following last year's magnitude 8.8 earthquake in Chile, Gross estimated the Chile quake should have shortened the length of day by about 1.26 microseconds and shifted Earth's figure axis by about 8 centimeters (3 inches). A similar calculation performed after the 2004 magnitude 9.1 Sumatran earthquake revealed it should have shortened the length of day by 6.8 microseconds and shifted Earth's figure axis by about 7 centimeters, or 2.76 inches. How an individual earthquake affects Earth's rotation depends on its size (magnitude), location and the details of how the fault slipped. Gross said that, in theory, anything that redistributes Earth's mass will change Earth's rotation. "Earth's rotation changes all the time as a result of not only earthquakes, but also the much larger effects of changes in atmospheric winds and oceanic currents," he said. "Over the course of a year, the length of the day increases and decreases by about a millisecond, or about 550 times larger than the change caused by the Japanese earthquake. The position of Earth's figure axis also changes all the time, by about 1 meter (3.3 feet) over the course of a year, or about six times more than the change that should have been caused by the Japan quake." View Quote It seems to be fairly substantiated that the earth's axis changes (asshole writer throws global warming into this as well): https://www.livescience.com/6937-ice-ages-blamed-tilted-earth.html https://newatlas.com/nasa-earth-axis-shift/56443/ "There is a geometrical effect that if you have a mass that is 45 degrees from the North Pole – which Greenland is – or from the South Pole (like Patagonian glaciers), it will have a bigger impact on shifting Earth's spin axis than a mass that is right near the Pole," says Eric Ivins, co-author of the study.

I just watched a documentary about middle-age knights that included the castles and the technology used to build them.
In, Guedelon, France, a group of volunteers is building a castle using only technology that would have been available at that time. Found a video just about it. It's an interesting research project, since they say that most of the knowledge was lost and they are trying to relearn how to do it.
