I cant stop myself from laughing reading this ;-)) If Pyramid structure is so easy and common, why dont WE USE IT TDAY IN BUILDING OUR HOMES????

That line of reasoning wont get you anywhere. Our houses and structures are not pyramidical because of the cultural influence from greek and roman styles in the development of the "west". The romans and greeks also had different tools, environments and materials to build with. They also had different technology. Even though it is quite particular that so many ancient cultures throughout the world, isolated from one another built in the same way it doesnt mean that there isnt some simple reason behind it. Recall that most of those ancient peoples came from the same place and might have brought with them wherever they went some knowledge that involved that type of building. I dont see why this cant also be an option.

Edit: Also i believe he was talkig about the tendency to build upwards, not about the styles being identical.

Well, then this strengthens my point about how Mayan pyramids and Japanese pyramids, which have similar designs were connected in some way. Just like the connection with Bosnian Pyramids. Mayans, Aztecs, Incas, and others used these structures for similar purposes too. These cultures used different tools, different knowledge, different environment and language to achieve similar results. Romans went a different way. Today's society is built on different plans. But skyscrapers in China, Africa, Europe and North America are based on similar designs on connected blueprints which are only slightly altered for personal styles and detaiils.

So the question is, who influenced all these different ancient civilizations around the world, isolated, different developments around the same time to build these similar structures? Coincidence?

Its not a coincidence that Roman architecture influenced our designs ... what about the ancient civilizations?

Who influenced the Romans? Like I said before or meant to say. Humans always want to build towards the stars.

Explain me then, how come Aztec and Bosnian Pyramids are pretty much identical? A mere coincidence? What about the other pyramids?

Romans were influenced by Greeks. Greeks were partially influenced by Egyptians, but they developed their own designs because of their bright-minded scholars or whatever you want to calll them.

By any means, today technology is based on Roman/Greek.

Ask yourself this question, who influenced 10,000 year old civilizations to construct those mathematically precise buildings? Egytians didnt even invert the wheel, yet they were able to create the mathematical genius of work, Cheops Pyramid. And what about the beginning of their civilization? History seems to ommit this. You see, even the Romans have a logical progression of development. Egyptians came out of nowhere - according to some, they came from "stars"! Imagine at preceeding civilizations, cultures that inflluenced the ancient civilizations to build these massive structures ... without the technology, of course ....

Even the heavy human-face like rocks on Easter Island ... far away from actual rock formations ... and there are no traces whatsoever that these rocks were dragged and sculpted to such precision, hundreds of them!!! Pointing in the same direction too

I forgot to mention some of the very impressive ancient Egyptian artwork that resembles alien technology, see these:

There's some more I've seen, but I dont have the links handy at the moment, but eexplain me these, what are these objects the egyptians were holding 3000 years B.C.:











Taken from: http://www.lost-civilizations.net/a...ce-alchemy.html

I'd say this is very very strong evidence of alien technology ... I'd say very conclusive!

Your pic doesnt work. And its not proof of God, silly ... please re-read my previous post.

Here's a good page with photos on Easter Island faces, some of those are 10-20 tons in weight, many of them were made, and they are far away from rock quarries where they could have been cut from:

Quite impressive to actually find out how they were made, dragged and placed ...

The easter island bit is not true man, seriously, the stones where carved at two seperate stone quarries in the island. There's even unfinished statues still at the quarries, have carved. And as far as how they were dragged, the prevalent theory is that they used some sort of wood rollers. The methods by which they were propped up have also been widely studied and are viable. Heck it didnt even take that many people to drag the stones, a recent experiment managed to drag one of the 10 ton sculptures with only 15 adults! So seriously, dont use the easter island statues as an example, its just not true.

What the crap, you just contradicted yourself between this post and the last. First you say theres no proof they were dragged/carved, then you say "oh heres how they were dragged and carved".?!?!
