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. Einstein once said to look at the world with reason for the answers to unanswerable questions. I added that last part. I’ve read articles that argue that ancient civilizations were more highly technological than us.

Technological, no, but they learned to manage through a mastery of engineering that we still don’t understand today. I don’t believe the ancients were “technologically” more advanced since they didn’t seem to create artificial conveniences, but instead relied on age-old engineering techniques that people today would probably scoff at since the brainwork and math would have to have been done by hand.

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, through the ages.

I also don’t believe the ancients would have all used insanely large heavy rocks and boulders if they didn’t need to. If it had occurred in one civilization, I’d say fine, this one ornery ruler with enormous hubris made slaves kill themselves to build temples made of 20-ton blocks. 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.

Doing it just to do 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. Just not with rocks.

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 or something else could be wholly off base and the Annunaki finally got tired of the humans messing everything up and flew down from Planet X to do it themselves. Or, they literally built them out of sheer hard, hard work over many years. One day we will know.
