after all info i have read and docs iv watched its pretty clear to me that there was civilizations before ours probably way more advanced, no wonder why china started to destroy their pyramids as they were not build by Asian people but by a completely different race (some odd, tall looking mummies were discovered in those pyramids)

Antediluvian period is something im going to be looking at right now, very interesting stuff and theres plenty info about it, i cant believe i have never heard of this before! this should keep me entertained for quite sometime awesome

those giant mummies were probably the Nephilim

I always talk of possibilities and the chance that there is new information about our history should be fully explored. If it turns out to be nothing, so be it. But we shouldn't let the fear of the unknown stop us. If you really consider the possibilities, I don't think it would change people's opinion or ideas much, it would only be further speculation.

Some are being kept "secret" because it would change history. By proving that it wasn't only in Egypt and that pyramids wear built all around the world. So the question becomes how did the builders move over continents and oceans all that time ago?

Do you honestly think that only a handful of people in Egypt thought "Hey, let's build a big pile of rocks as a tomb". You really prefer the conspiracy theory angle than the idea that two people in different places could think of the same thing?

A question cannot be silly. Specially if the answer is unknown. How rude.
I didn't point to; they might have traveled over oceans, the question I asked, raises many other questions.

I do believe that different civilizations built their own "pyramidlike" structures. But I also believe the building methods, architectural design and so forth all resemble each other in many different ways. I do not think all those different civilizations came up with the idea to build such things, without a link.
What you're saying is, the only reason they did so, was so they reach great heights? And they all came to that same reason out of pure luck?

In any case, it's a interesting topic and all opinions are valid :)

It's a shame how ppl learn about facts, then person A: defines the facts reasoning as X , and person B: defines the reasoning by Y. (example: Earth revolves around the Sun, fact. Why, due to gravity and so forth. The other answer someone might say, God) The example is quite out there, but just trying to show how ppl differ.
Everyone tries to come to their own conclusion, because everyone wants to be "special" and different. Not to mention the different beliefs that they already have, etc.

your statement is filled with anthropological falsehoods. There are very few pyramid building cultures that we cant exclusively identify, the main being certain strains of Maya and Olmec. Your opinion that the egyptian and mayan or any other culture share building methods or design simply isnt true. They are vastly different.

What i was trying to say is that humans in different cultures built pyramids because it was the only possible way to attain great height artificially in the ancient world. Note that not all ancient cultures built pyramids, simply those wishing for monolithic buildings, because a pyramid is the only shape feasible for ancient cultures. The link between these cultures is not pyramids but rather the desire to attain great heights, which is only possible through pyramids.

I must also add that many people falsely believe we dont know how the ancient pyramid were built or that the technology wasnt available at the time. Both of which are implicitly false, we know and have proven with recreation the methods that ancients used to build their structure.
