The Secret Knowledge of the Ancients - Understanding the Engineering Feats of the Thousands of Megaliths we Still Don’t Understand

By Greg Evans

I’m not an engineer or mathematician. But I do believe a rock is a rock. I’m a simple journalist, a storyteller if you will. We learn early on in this profession to seek out the answers to questions that are difficult to answer or those that seemingly have no answer or those that people may not want answered. Einstein once said to look at the world with reason for the answers to unanswerable questions. I added that last part. A question that has baffled science, archeology, and one that has intrigued me since childhood is that of megaliths. How could ancient spear-wielding people build such incredible buildings with no construction equipment? I’ve read many articles on the subject. Most propose their own theories. Some more probable than others. Often the more probable the less believable. Is that a paradox? Is it a heuristic?

When I was around 10-years old I climbed to the top of the 720 foot-high Pyramid of the Sun in Mexico, clinging to an old chain to keep from tumbling down with each gust of ancient wind. This incredible structure is the largest building at Teotihuacan. Archeologists believe it was built around 200 AD and abandoned in 750 AD; however, I think it is older. It sits along the Avenue of the Dead between the Pyramid of the Moon and the Ciudadela which houses the Pyramid of the Feathered Serpent.

I remember standing on the top of this massive pyramid, feeling the strong wind blowing against me and the warm sun on my face, staring off into this endless green sea of jungle. Even at a young age I transfixed. It was more of a spiritual moment for me than a Mexican jungle adventure.

In 1959, an archeologist named Rene Millon discovered a tunnel system carved out beneath the pyramid leading to mysterious caves. Caves have always been highly mystical places throughout history.

The buildings of ancient civilizations were incredible, but I don’t believe they were technologically superior to us, no, but they learned to manage through a mastery of engineering that we still don’t understand today, and that is vastly interesting phenomena. The reason I don’t believe the ancients were more technologically advanced than we are is because, as far as I know, they didn’t seem to create artificial conveniences, but instead relied on age-old engineering techniques.

The ancient engineering was the highest level of sophistication, in terms of engineering of that time and for how ever long before, which remarkably has survived, for the most part.

I also don’t believe ancient builders would have all used insanely large heavy rocks and boulders, across the entire globe, if they didn’t need to. Imagine the amount of hernias that was have required doctoring? The ancient medical professionals would have made a fortune. If it had occurred one time, in one place, by one civilization, I’d say fine, there was one ornery ruler with enormous hubris who made 50,000 slaves kill themselves to build temples made of 20-ton blocks over 30-50 years working 24-hours per day. But I don’t see that has being the ancient status quo just for the sake of doing it. There were other more important endeavors like conquest or preventing invasions, farming and industry to keep gold in the coffer. However, it seems no matter where you go on the planet, ancient builders used astronomically large and heavy rocks to build precise temples, pyramids, tombs and other structures and their cultures were vastly different.

Therefore, doing it just to do it, when it seems nearly impossible by our standards and knowledge, and we have construction mechanisms for lugging such grotesque chunks of rock from here to there, it doesn’t make the nut for me. A variable in the equation seems to be missing. Therefore, looking from the outside in, with the professional skepticism that comes with being a journalist, I have surmised that 10,000 - 15,000 years ago and earlier, when all of these megalithic structures seem to have been built, the rocks simply weren’t as heavy as they are now because the gravitational pull, the electromagnetic fields, or whatever, were different.

I believe there was some kind of cataclysmic event, like the eruption of a super volcano, a meteor striking the earth, or the world’s largest belly dancing convention which then literally altered, for example, the gravitational force and boulders once manageable could no longer be moved as they once were. This change may have even altered the physiological makeup or genetic blueprint of the human at the time, but that’s a different story for a different day.

That catastrophic event was the end of megalithic construction. It’s not as glamorous as a spaceship with special lasers helping to teach people how to build, or some incredible lost anti-gravitational device that was utilized, but I think it makes sense.

I am not a literalist by any stretch of the imagination. I believe in ghosts and spirits, aliens, multi-layered dimensions, portals and unexplored galaxies with thriving life made of colors our brains wouldn’t compute, and other unbelievable anomalies. I believe all the temples could have been constructed as an alchemy strategy for converting simple elements to gold. We know that is impossible though as gold is exceedingly rare and you can learn more about that in the article, “The Most Expensive Plate of Spaghetti.”

There are stories of a guy, a Latvian architect named Edward Leedskalnin who, in 1923 in Homestead, Florida, cut, quarried, and chiseled 1,000 tons of stone to build “Coral Castle,” consisting of 260 stones with the heaviest weighing 21 tons. It was a significant achievement in engineering. The details of this castle are mind-bending. One day we will do a story just on this castle when I make my pilgrimage there.

Leedskalnin worked alone and often at night. It was said he admitted to uncovering the secrets of the ancients, in terms of building techniques using heavy rocks. One evening, unbeknownst to him, some children hid nearby and observed him floating rocks into place as if using some form of anti-gravitational field or device.

There are other reports that he built a machine that would spin magnates in a circle altering the gravitational and electromagnetic fields around the property. That makes total sense to me. What he claims to have figured out was how to create an environment similar to the one the ancients experienced, but with far greater sophistication. They had to manually labor and carry and assemble the blocks with pulleys and levers. He figured that out, and then traveled even deeper down the rabbit hole.

He would have blown the minds of those ancients floating the rocks into place. They may have even made him Sultan or Emperor. Instead of statues of birdman or bacchus, there’d be busts of Edward with chiseled abs and delts. Again, I don’t imagine the ancients were necessarily floating rocks but they could move tons of rocks with far greater ease and Leedskalnin tapped into that type of science.

This concept of a world with a different gravitational force? What do you think? Or something else that makes far better sense, the Annunaki finally got tired of the humans messing everything up and flew down from Planet X to collect resources and stock up on gold themselves. Or, the ancients were built on the backs of the hardworking humans and innovative engineering. That is preposterous! What fool would believe that? Let us know what you think in the comment section.
