I am no expert just they were said to be nomadic, so what if they roamed down there too and there was a lot of technology exchange? GT is amazing for the times and it would make sense to me if one group was that good with stone it is easily believable that with populations moving about and more time that who became Egyptians had plenty of cross pollination of thought and trading to have the skills always credited to ET by fringe thinkers. 

Not trying to make some new conspiracy thing, just imagining the times then and that it is a LOT of time. Look how far we have come in 2k years. The artifacts in stonework we see and the later achievements left for us to find and see are stunning and I think the knowledge was there, we just do not see much of this group who made GT because they were so nomadic, yet they plainly were very advanced anyway in some skills and thoughts.

I'll admit I know virtually nothing of GT other than the basics and that it is indeed very very fascinating. 

The Egyptians had a progression of working with stone similar to modern progression with technology. IIRC it started with tombs. Again IIRC some tombs collapsed in on themselves, they had to keep fixing them, then they figured how to make them stronger. Also there're lots of pyramids (pre giza) other than the pyramids of Giza. Sneferu or whatever his name is built tons of them and one was going to be bigger than the largest one in Giza. 

EDIT: Come to think of it, this was far after 10k bc so this doesn't address your theory so nevermind.

Do you suppose they moved there and settled in from another, perhaps larger culture we have not identified yet?

Yes, I have seen Saqqara and it was impressive as old as it is, though plainly not yet perfect. I also got to see Giza and some other spots but nothing as much as I wanted to. Was there on military business so time was hard to come by to tourist it. Was blessed to see as much as I did though.

Who? GT or Egypt? We don't know enough about the GT population to say at present. The Prehistoric Egyptians came from north Africa and the Levant.

Saqqara would be my first stop.

Pretty average day for me, as far as crazy goes. So the status quo is maintained and I'm as nuts as usual. Now, let's see who's around

Where are @Ruby04 @ShadowSot @Aquila King @seaturtlehorsesnake @Not A Rockstar @internetperson @newbloodmoon @ChaosRose ...and anyone I might have missed?

@tcgram is present and accounted for, but who knows what mischief that @kmt_sesh is getting into.

Hey! I'm working here.

GT. I am convinced there were cultures further back than we yet know about so GT fascinates me is all. I guess I just mean if they could know that, so could other sultures and they were close enough for a bit of cross over or an escaped slave who had been taught to end up elsewhere, etc. Things we will never know about, as it was as vivid and varied as we are today as lives go.

If GT and similar Anatolian sites have taught us one thing, it's to keep digging. You never know what might be there.

Weird you asked me this I was about to ask you bout LA, I went there years ago with friends. They have family in the country. Was so much fun, got to shoot guns and had a low boil which is amazing. 

To answer your question I'm in Jacksonville.

man we got to the Valley of the Kings by the worst cab ride hell could devise and I was so over heated I ended up back in the cab about passing out while the other three with me went in and looked around some but came back soon so could get back to the hotel on time. One of the saddest moments of my life to be in that hellish cab in Egypt and unable to do more than just relax and ignore the cabbie who kept peeking in at me as if I was gonna steal his seat or something.

This is right up there as one of my top 5 favorite posts on this site thus far.

It's like the class clown got the chance to speak through the school's intercom.

Not a lot of reasons to come to Jax unless you want to lose to yours truly in pool (hyuck hyuck) but every American should go to St Augustine at least once.

St Augustine was awesome but a bit crowded. I liked Old Town tremendously but the city encroaches so very much it struggles to retain the feeling it still has imo. The storms also wiped out some good things. There was a fish joint built over the water you could look down and see the fish under you while you ate that is gone now entirely. 

Ah well, life goes on :).
