First, I apologize now if this comes across as incoherent rambling but I will try with the best of my ability to be as clear as possible.
I have been thinking the past few days of the somewhat obvious, to me anyhow, relationship between ancient "less advanced" civilizations and their ability to somehow know and build things that we cannot replicate today.
The pyramids of Giza and the Pumapunku complex are good examples.
It is assumed that given their accepted age of each that they were constructed by a civilization that is believed to be less technologically advanced then our own.
Without getting into who specifically built them, its safe to assume whomever they were they weren't monotheistic Christians so one can assume that they were of a religion that is more earthly, perhaps similar to neo-paganism in a loose sense.
It seems to me that there is some correlation between the spread of Christianity and the loss of the knowledge these civilizations acquired to be able to carry out these grand constructions.
Were they able to unlock some secret that we may never possess as it directly opposes what we believe to be possible in our conception of reality ?
Was this knowledge lost on purpose during times like the inquisition as it was the satanic babel of godless people as one can assume would have been the general perception ?
Is it possible that the knowledge and techniques were buried because they didn't align with the believed Christian way of viewing the world and humanity itself ?
I don't mean to sound like the worlds biggest atheist but I have a hard time accepting that several thousand Indian's pulled a rock weighing several hundred tons across any distance.
Perhaps the great people here have an opinion or maybe another angle I haven't considered.
