It's incredible isn't it. I have a Gaia annual subscription and they have a series called Ancient Civilizations with more amazing examples. I particularly like the megalithic type buildings with similar arches and Keystone like building techniques which strangely are all over the world. No explanation of how stones were transported or cut to mm precision when technology allegedly was unavailable at the time. You could almost think there was a global conspiracy to obfuscate the truth about previous cataclysmic events that wiped out advanced civilization. But that would never happen right? 😉
While most temples were constructed with additive manufacturing by using blocks on top of the earth on a foundation, this one was excavated out of a rock with subtractive manufacturing by removing material. In an old video I watched on this temple, it was suspected as being a temple dedicated to the underworld, due to its unique construction.
The old world understanding of underworld was different from what we call Hell, so it wasn't necessarily a negative connotation. More like the inner world of the mind and spirit outside of the flesh Vessel.
I love old temple architecture, always fascinating to study
There are plenty of theories about ancient temples like this, how they were built and what they were really for. Several have vats with mercury residue, indicating they were once filled and may have been used for some kind of energy generation.
Few know there's water under the great pyramid... which also points to potential energy generation, and recently, some have discovered the blocks may have been cast in place with some kind of concrete, not solid stone as originally thought.
Then there's sound technology...the walls of Jericho, what Tesla said about frequency and vibration, etc etc.
And if you look at old cartoons or movies they use pyramids in there as a source of energy. I'm sure it was something high tech and not this burial thing for Pharaoh.
Another hidden ancient gem is in cholula Mexico. The largest pyramid by volume on earth (discovered). It's still mostly covered in dirt and nobody knows about it. I'm taking a trip down there later this month, I'll report my findings :)
And yet mainstream archeology still goes on about how these are all tombs and/or religious sites. Such a failure of imagination.
I've been passionate about mythology, ancient history, archeology, geology, and other sciences my whole life. I think I was about 5 when I first watched a doc about the Mayans and maybe 7 or 8 when Chariots of the Gods came out. So for over 50 years, I have been paying attention and digging and learning... even teaching myself to learn some ancient languages.
I enjoy all the new science being brought in to confront mainstream archeology to make them squirm in their "ancient tomb" boots. We need more Schocks, Bauvalls, and Hancocks!
You can thank the Muslims for all the lost knowledge because they burned the library to the ground that held all the secrets to the past when they burned Alexandria. Too much knowledge is bad for the ruling class. Same today, turn the schools into institutions of indoctrination instead of education and dumb down the sheep. It certainly works!
With regard to Alexandria ..... Several Burnings have happened over the hundreds of years.
During Cleopatra's time, During 4th century by radical Christians and Hypathia's function, during the 7th century when the Muslims used it to fire their baths.
It is a rather one dimensional view to suggest what you did, though I recognize the kill shot.
On the other hand the West gained a lot of knowledge from preserved books by Persian Scholars.
correct. I am pointing to the following what you wrote:

Your comment was incomplete, or better said, not correct. During the Christian Age, during Hypathia's involvement, there still was a lot of ancient knowledge available.
Theon is best remembered for the part he played in the preservation of Euclid’s Elements, but he also wrote extensively, commenting on Ptolemy’s Almagest and Handy Tables. Hypatia continued his program, which was essentially a determined effort to preserve the Greek mathematical and astronomical heritage in extremely difficult times. She is credited with commentaries on Apollonius of Perga’s Conics (geometry) and Diophantus of Alexandria’s Arithmetic (number theory), as well as an astronomical table (possibly a revised version of Book III of her father’s commentary on the Almagest). These works, the only ones she is listed as having written, have been lost, although there have been attempts to reconstruct aspects of them. In producing her commentaries on Apollonius and Diophantus, she was pushing the program initiated by her father into more recent and more difficult areas.
However, the religiously induced furor during that time (4th century) broke the camels back. Muslims of the 7th century finished it off.
My comment is not about guilt, but about the succession of destruction.
By the same token, we could point to Persian (and by the 9th century were predominantly Muslim) scholars who have preserved, or even rediscovered certain ancient knowledge, or moved even further.
There was in the 11th century a Persian scholar who wrote a paper on the distribution and conditions of certain plants. When comparing it to Darwin's Origin of species, there are significant overlapping ideas. Given the conditions of the time this Muslim Scholar lived in, he simply concluded, meaning, ended, his book with the notion that God had done it, whereas logic would have dictated an evolutionary proposition.
And why not, as everything revolves around frequency.
I could also point the the many books, transcribed into latin from Arabic versions of older books, preserved by those less religiously orthodox.
So, there is that. I do not wish to equate then living Christians, or Muslims for that matter, with those living now, as for every living man, the question of appreciation of knowledge and wisdom is key. Zealotry often comes into the fray to wreak havoc.
Building such as this is always deemed “impossible” for humans but if you think about it, in a civilization that has plenty of food humans can afford to spend their entire lives rubbing stone with a sandpaper. It’s easier than you think to manipulate stone it just takes a lot of time.

Have a look at this, its rather technical but well worth watching. It goes quite a way to showing how these churches and temples came about.

A similiar example of this method of construcion can be found in Lalibela, Ethiopia.

I like the concrete idea, the Romans had their own form of concrete I don't see why the Egyptians couldn't figure it out.

I am very interested in your impressions about it. Sounds like a fun trip!

They're called chaityas, very cool

Here's a modern-day version, the mortuary hall at Farkasreti cemetery in Budapest. The roof ribs represent human ribs, coffin represents the heart

It seems some ancients had some incredible techniques or technology with rocks and tunnel digging

We might never know again what decades of hard physical manual labor can accomplish.
Of course we can do that now. Wtf?
Like Petra.
To answer your last line.... Way more than we do know.
The great Tartarian Empire. Again, written and re-wrtten many times. His Story is just that....a story.
What you can see on the 2 sculptures on the left side (vertically: in the middle), inside drilled rectangles?
Looks like maybe carvings of the Sons of God, Daughters of Men interaction the Scriptures speak of …
The first looks like a pedophile with a child.
My first reaction….this is what can be done without the internet.
