Why would they do that? Oh, well, it was a religious ceremony. No, there's gotta be more to it than that. See, and of course, now you've got, number one, to quarry some of those big sarsen stones that made up the trilithon. We're looking at what? I don't know, 15, 20 tons? We're looking at dozens of the bluestones that had to get transported like 120 miles?

So all of this effort, to me, okay, obviously these guys were pretty well-versed with engineering. They were able to transport these stones, erect them, but they were also astronomers because we know now that the limits of the moon's 18.6-year cycle are embedded in the geometry of the thing, right? Well, now do we have to add to that that they were geologists and identify... So...

What we end up with here is, to me, you say, well, if we try to understand what they're up to, we have to really look at this as it's a scientific undertaking, a technological undertaking. But then that raises questions that are completely outside the purview of mainstream ancient history. who had this engineering capability.

And one of the things, interestingly, they talked about, well, to transport this stone would have required such a massive effort that it implies social organization on a level that we hadn't even conceived of before. So you're looking at high levels of social organization, engineering skill, astronomical skill.

I also think that we could make a strong argument that they were mathematicians and geometricians because we see that there is actually a geometric... proportions and so forth embedded in there within, within a few inches that to me is, yeah. Can we just dismiss this as coincidence? So we, you know, when you put all of that together, it just doesn't fit. It doesn't fit, doesn't fit.

So what's the answer? I don't know. Other than the possibility that there's a whole lost history of the human species on this planet. And one reason that they're primarily lost is what we've just been seeing here, this dynamic nature of the planet. And to me, it raises questions about how deep and how far back does this technological and or scientific knowledge go?

And we've been talking about these great mega floods, right? That is one of the most ubiquitous of all stories and legends found around the planet, right? Over 100, 120 at least documented from different cultures have stories that, you know, counterparts to the biblical story. whether it's Utnapishtim or Zizithris or Manu or Kukulkan, the list goes on, right?
