Graham Hancock - Quest for the Lost Civilization (3 of 14)

These ancient monuments are mathematics and astronomy set in stone, laid out for all time, as a calling-card across the aeons, to demonstrate to us that there is nothing new under the sky. Ancient man was as knowledgeable about the stars and our place within the Universe as our most advanced astronomers are today. Did this knowledge suddenly appear 4500 years ago? Or was it founded on knowledge passed down through ages long since lost to history?

did they have telescopes thousands of years ago? Can you see any planets when you look at the sky?
how did the mayans predict galactic alignment ? how was this done?

we need to realise that we are not the apex and we were more advanced before than we have yet fully realised

Check out Christopher Dunn's work on the Great Pyramid - he explains how the structure was likely a power generator. He addresses all the anomalies that have yet to be explained by conventional tomb theories.

if this is all true and the egyptians etc are seriously clever, I wonder what the world would be like today if they had lasted..

They have lasted, their bloodline as well as the ancient knowledge. This knowledge has been handed down via oral tradition and ritual, not just by the descendants of ancient Egyptian and Babylonian bloodlines, but by the descendants of many cultures. There are archeoastronomy sites throughout the Americas. At El Tajin pyramid complex in Veracruz, Mexico, Totonacan Los Voladores(the flying men) perform a ritual where 4 Totonacans "fly" upside down around a tall pole 13 times.4x13=52

wow ,revelation...what if the pyramids ARE way older and the whole area was flooded like a swamp ,that would make the pyramids a reflection of the night sky-thus making the whole plateau a reflecting pool....hope Graham's considered this also.

this so called ' great civilization' was'nt so great, since they some how disappeared. i mean if they were soo clever and great they would have lasted thousands and thousands of years

Great video, these type of documentaries hardly ever get re-played on the networks, notice the Learning channel logo. There were global maritme civilizations all over the ancient world, Graham tows the line though in this video in part 2 when he says the great pyramid was built by Khufu, he knows it is FAR older than that, like Robert Bauval proves with the Orion evidence,circa 10,500 BC

But who built them?
Are YOU about to tow
the line on that one?

He probably had to "toe the line" in order to get his documentary aired.

the work of Graham and Bauval are gifts to humanity. God bless 'em
