    This is an interesting discussion in terms of speculating on the "evidence".

    But they are assuming human evolution has continuity. They are looking for an evolutionary process when in fact the megaliths were built in an attempt to counter-act the de-volutionary process humans were experiencing. Those attempts were doomed to failure and we are now on the verge of realising why.

    Also the dating techniques used are not reliable. For example geologists assume sedimentary deposits are a simple filling in over time but they are much more complicated than they presume.

    Understandably, but still unwarranted, assumptions are made by archaeologists. They automatically assume megaliths are not utilitarian so must be religious. They can't get into the heads of the very practical minds of our predecessors. But worse yet are the university and Biblical "rules" they must play by. To break those "laws" based on rational observation of artifacts means losing tenure, a job, shunning, and becoming an outcast.

    Still it's interesting to listen to their logical mistakes, their influenced beliefs based on 'Annunaki gods' lies and their lack of having imagination equal to that of the people they study.

    The funny thing Herbert is that while you saw only the negatives in the documentary...I actually saw so many positives that the negatives just disappeared. I saw the wonderful moment when the two differing sides actually met and discussed their disagreements and came to the conclusion that they should keep in contact for future talks.

    But that was at the end of the video...did you see that?
