It’s crazy that different ancient peoples, all over the globe, built the same shaped structures, without machinery or whatever and they perfectly align with the stars and stuff.

🚬Yesterday I got into an argument with my father about whether we, in the current era can recreate am architectural masterpiece like kailasa temple and I told him that yes we can do it, it's just that it's too expensive now. This is a big issue with modern architecture in general. Architects would love to build a Roman or Greek or any classical style but it's too expensive and there are no skilled craftsmen nowadays. But we, at large ignore this point and it sometimes creates an illusion that the ancient folks had some "mysterious powers" or maybe aliens made the pyramids.
Yes, the ancients had a power that separates us from them. It was boredom. There was no Instagram back in the day or Netflix. They literally had nothing else to do other than to hone a craft. They would spend centuries building a single cathedral. We can do it too if we really want to do it. They weren't special it's just that the world back then was not controlled by greedy billionaires who would try to hijack our brain.
Even if there were sources of entertainment, they were accessible to the privileged and they were still grounded in reality.

Fascinating bc it’s unclear why they were on this. Multiple cultures were doing this. What did they know

i know it’s become a serious concern / total joke but if you really get into it, it’s so wild. can’t believe no one has mentioned it. some of the ‘supporting evidence’ is suspiciously interesting, but it would really undo everything if true and isn’t personally provable. i flirt with conspiracy theories heavily and am entertained by them but Flat Earth remains the wildest.
here are some other faves:
multi-verse / parallel universes / Mandela effect, jesus was a mushroom, past life regression therapy discoveries (reincarnation), giants existing, reptilians/ aliens, hollow moon, advanced ancient civilizations (current fave: look into younger-dryas, 500+ cultural folktales / myths about the worldwide flood, and derinkuyu caves, gobekli tepi… lots of docuseries about this concept that advanced civilizations existed before a cataclysm and that archeologists societies are hiding and denying evidence)
