Smash stuff together enough and, no matter how hard, it eventually breaks. Native Americans made tools from Armour Stone, despite the fact that we use explosives and diamond cutting wheels to work with it today.

Aliens are just a different form of an angel or fallen angel.

And you think that these trees would be chopped down for an endless length of rollers and scaffolding just to build these monoliths over hundreds of years, that (as the story books would have you believe) serve no other purpose but a moratorium for a long dead king? What a giant, no, fucking COLOSSAL waste or invaluable resources that would be, no?
The benefits of the life bearing trees in that region staying like that, would far outweigh the alternative.

This leaves only shipping. They had a thriving sea-port based economy, but then they would need to have paid for how many thousands of trees to be imported?

just the tip of the iceberg.
You don't need a endless line of rollers. You just need rollers in front of your object. Once it is off the object that roller is free to move to the front.

I moved a couple hundred pound gate a couple hundred feet because I was told I needed more help then I thought I would. So I did it myself with one steel pole. I also used a Dodge ram but thats not the point. I was told I would tear up the driveway if I pulled it with the truck (I said I will tie it to that damn truck if I had to) so I used the roller to protect the driveway.

I would pull till the roller came out from the gate then I got out and moved the pole to the front and pulled some more. With more poles I wouldn't even need the truck.

And seriously Tig, heirlooms that someone's using today? From thousands of years ago? Or in graves? That we have already excavated I'd like to point out...
So we have excavated every grave?... I was kidding about using it BUT it's not that far fetched. If this material is as tough as been stated then I see no reason why it couldn't still be around. I again say that it is pure poppy cock that someone "can't" make a square block by hand today... Why not? I doubt you'd find someone that would do it but that doesn't mean it can't be done. My God people it wasn't that long ago that we built this entire country by hand using techniques not all that far removed from those employed in these places. Again, the biggest problem here is lack of documentation... The beautiful columns/ruins in Athens, they are nigh on perfect. Anyone think they were made by aliens or whatever? Nope, we know exactly how they were produced because of records. They quarried HUGE blocks of granite using nothing but hammers, chisels and labor. Moved them hundreds of miles, cut them into pieces weighing thousands of pounds and stacked them almost perfectly...

I didn't bother pointing this out because I felt that this would obvious... I'm honestly starting to think that some of these guys are pulling our legs with this stuff...

Why does any time aliens are brought up, they are 10000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 000000000000000000000x smarter than us?

If we're not the only ones, why do we put ourselves as the stupidest ones in the universe?
