unbelievable that the ancient Egyptians built the pyramids and monuments. It would be difficult to do it today.
There had to be ancient aliens or a highly advanced race of some kind that built those things. There is no way
they moved 100 ton stones 600 miles with ropes and man power. I worked in a steel mill all my life where we had steel
coils that weighed 25 to 30 tons it took steel cables and massive machinery to handle those.

That's for sure. Although there was that scene in Star Wars that seems to show that Tikal was called "Rebel Base" and occupied by white folks and their robots.

I have frequently noticed that rhetorical device being used. As soon as they ask it, you know what the answer will be.

YES is expected, since answering NO would pretty much stop the story line of the show. So NO will never happen...

But these shows DO make us think.

I composed a lengthy response that related to all these shows, but decided not to bore everyone.

All I will say is, given INFINITY, we haven't even scratched the surface of what is, was, will be...
