Many many mysteries abound within our world.
But are some of them, pices of a larger jigsaw to help us unravel the past and possibly glimpse our future. Let me explain:

The pyramids - We think we understand the basics of what they are (alledgedly) and possibly how they were built but why were they built and what were the ancients trying to tell us. Let me explain further :

The Great Pyramid.

We all know that the the sides of the pyramid are aligned to the four cardinal points, perhaps in itself not that difficult to achieve (perhaps even by accident) but it is very difficult to accept that it was accidentaly placed at the EXACT centre of the geometrical quadrant formed by the Nile delta (the ancient kingdom of lower Eygpt). The site also lies on the longest land contact meridian on the Earths surface, and it lies at the geographical centre of the whole worlds land mass, inc. the Americas and Antartica.
Remember that the Americas were still not discovered (apparantly) so the centre of the Ancient Egyptians known land mass would be far different to what it actualy is, but they still got it right ?

The basic unit of measurement used by the designers is exactly a ten millionth of the Earths mean polar radius.
The Pyramid has a side measuring 365.242 of these same units, a figure which is exactly the same as the number of days in the solar tropical year.
The list of figures goes on and on and includes figures of the kind that show the eccentricity of Earths orbit, the time it takes the Earth to return to the same point in its eliptical orbit it can even show you the period of Earths full processional cycle which takes over 25,000 years to achieve.
In other words if you wanted to put a structure somewhere to represent the Earth and how it works - YOU COULD DESIGN NOTHING BETTER THAN THE GREAT PYRAMID ! (for more info on this read The Great Pyramid Decoded by Peter Lemesurier).

There have been finds of fossilised cog wheels that probably come from a time piece of some type (fossilisation normaly takes thousands of years this type of technoledgy did not exist then.

Early batteries found in Baghdad ... years before electricity was discovered ?

The list goes on and on and on ...as I am sure we are all aware but is it possible that these are simply remnants, markers and messages from an earlier civilisation who faced extinction and knew they were powerless to prevent it, but could possibly try to prevent it happening to future inhabitants of their planet.

Comments please !

You know, in 50 million years, some super-advanced human like creatures are going to find a carrier bag and wonder the same thing...


But yeah, I agree, the Great Pyramid is amazing in the knowledge needed to build it. Did anyone else hear about there apparently being a fourth pyramid?

The pyramids were built using the stars as a guide, weren't they? I have a book around here somewhere that focuses solely on them.

I tend to think that things that are found are more likly put there from our future rather than from a distant past. But that's just my opinion. It seems to me that if there was an immensly advanced civilation before the one we are in then there should be things we find that are undeniably from an advanced civ. that lived way back then. Show me an atlantis flying mobile. but even then the slim chance exist that the atlantis flying mobile could be from the ancient civ. that lived on mars and they just crashed here.

My point is that there is always a different "possiblity" that exists. And because that possibility, of a different explaination, exist we really can't say one way or the other where these "ancient" artifacts came from.

I see your viewpoint and I respect it (i have no proof to disprove it) but what you seem to be suggesting is more a theory of time travel (although not available yet, but sometime in the future) this in itself brings up all kinds of problems, besides the obvious anomaly of time travel cannot exist until it is invented !!!
But we digress !!
I tend to be swayed toward the belief that there has at some point been a prior civilisation that met with catastrophic events which saw its demise. please bare in mind that what may have been advanced then is not neccasarily what we would call advanced today !
All major religions in the world speak of a great flood, not some..ALL !
This in itself should start to weigh evidence toward the fact that there has at some point been a major flood, this also ties in with certain (although in no way conclusive) archeaolgical findings. Please try to keep an open mind and remember that most folklore and myth is based partly upon some fact.
All religions also speak of assistance from a higher (more advanced) being that helped mankind survive the great flood.
I am not trying to suggest that this influence was alien, God or even Atlantean or any other idea we can think of but I am suggesting there was something and if that something was mans own brilliance at that time (to survive the great flood) then why did our social, economic and technolodgical evolution slow down for thousands of years even to the point where we had to reinvent sailing vessels ?

Imagine if today we suffered a major worlwide flood !
After thousands of years concrete, iron, steel even plastics corrode and degrade until they return to there component parts.................................
But I am sure that some remnants would survive (as I am sure you would agree) to be discovered in a far distant future !!
