Duh. Because they are built to last, with lots of stone. Tell me - why are the pyramids still standing? Very suspicious, seeing as they are more than 6000 years old, if you ask me.
Masons were originally a guild of stonemasons that had very high standards with extremely long apprenticeships, so that they could build cathedrals and other important buildings. This developed into a ceremonial version - that we all love to hate - a secret society. In any case, important buildings such as central banks needed the perception of stability and trust, so Yeah, maybe consult that freemasonic architect who is conversant with stone. (Try and find such an architect today - you won't - they only build ridiculous concrete and steel structures, not stone ones, but that's another story)
Your theory may have something to it though, the fact that freemasons occupied powerful positions. And as we know, power corrupts absolutely.
The very top
Capstone may have been gold, it has been removed. Lots of people assume the pyramids were a power-plant, i prefer the more realistic theory that they are giant water purifiers.
The great stonemasons of the world have lost the ability to recreate what we see in the grand cathedrals and capitol buildings found world wide. It's another red flag to add to OP's post.
I guess for theorizing, we could start with modern equipment, then work backwards in time from there. Should be "easy" enough to build a modest cathedral with cranes and everything else. It of course gets real interesting when you don't have those to build with.
Have a look at the "veiled sculptures" carved from single pieces of granite. These miraculous artworks are absolutely impossible to create today. By anyone...
I agree. It's been done many times. One example I'm well aware of is the attempted moving of the stones used to build Nan Madol, a place I've personally explored. Actually was lucky enough to have had a meeting with Micronesia's leading archeologist Mauricio Rufino while I was there. The "re-creators" failed dismally to move 5 ton stones on their boats (using modern equipment). But the official narrative states that stones up to 50 tons were moved and lifted into place via boat...
If you knew about ley lines, would you not take advantage of them if you recognised the possibility of taking that advantage? Or are we now going to argue the science (or lack of it) of ley lines? There are arguments made, that the pyramids are on ley lines. Are they then therefore evil?
Or are you suggesting that freemasons were copying? But of course they were, that was the whole point of long apprenticeships etc. And yes, I am sure they studied ley lines. They were all for mimicking such ancient knowledge.
I am not sure what you are driving at. The problem is that on the one hand, there are the physical buildings, which were drawn up as architectural drawings etc. On the other, is the meaning that is inferred upon those buildings.
As I stated in a realist manner, the building is neo-classical - and yes, that is mimicking a far older style. Neo-classicism was about reviving what was perceived as the* golden ages* of ancient Romans and Greeks. Many people travelled to observe those ancient structures, because they were still there, and this was seen as the correct way to build. Hence the columns to hold up the parapets.
I think you are driving at the meanings of the neo-classical style - again, one has to remember that neo-classicism gave birth to the US constitution, and yes freemasons had a hand, but are you gonna tell me now that George Washington was an evil man? Get outtahere.
Nukes destroy at the impact zone, but leave some building standing, if they are strong enough. It just depends how close the bullding is to that impact zone, and how strong it is. An observatory was left standing at Hiroshima., is it therefore now a symbol of evil? This is absolutist thinking that does not help.
Yes, nukes are bad. Destruction like that is heart-breaking, but lets not equate surviving buildings with all the evil in the world.
Also, on the subject of generalization, I know many freemasons as well as rotary club and lions club members (offshoots) who put their free time into community projects. Are they evil? For example a man who took on a community project that was slated to cost 150000 dollars - they had already hired a contractor. He managed the project to completion with only 12000 dollars, while delivering the value that was required (installing a concrete barbecue). He uncovered the most disgusting public service corruption, and quietly saved our community from a hideous expense. Yes there is evil in the world, but please don't generalize.
That's such a wild jump to make. "Some of these buildings share similar styles therefore the elites committed planetary-wide genocide a little over a century ago and were able to cover that up with nary a peep from the people who were moved into those abandoned places."
How in the hell would none of this have been passed on to those peoples' descendants? The 19th century wasn't that long ago, there's no way this would have been completely kept quiet.
We've had several resets whether it's mud flood or some sort of melting event. People in horse and buggy on dirt roads definitely didn't build these elaborate buildings in the 1800s. They were simply inheritors. Our entire history is a lie
It is interesting to me that we're taught to believe that we've existed for thousands of years with relatively little progress, then all of a sudden, we figured out electricity, trains, cars, planes, telephones, radio, etc within the span of about 150-200 years....

The pyramids have been rebuilt/ repaired probably numerous times. I think the answer lies in the base and underground structures.
Also externally lined in limestone. Water flowing throughout the granite/concrete blockwork. Insulative materials, conductive materials...

There are probably some actual stone masons out there that can do great work.

Take a deep breath.

These structures were inherited after a reset. People in horse and buggy on dirt roads didn't build these elaborate buildings as the narrative states
