Something I have been paddling around in my mind is that current thinking says that the stone age was the first age of our ability, then onto brass etc.
I am wondering whether the stone age was actually the culminating age of a pre-civilisation that the more recent cultures still had knowledge from and utilised. I wonder because of the exquisite nature of their designs, precision and where they actually built etc. I just get that hunch that we have our stone age in the wrong place in our thinking because their abilities were so sophisticated and advanced.
Looking round my town its only the older stone buildings that would last were we to have some minor catastrophe and we could see what was left afterwards. Most of our modern buildings with their 'clipped' technology wouldn't stand too much upheaval, whilst the stone ones probably would barely shift. In my eco village one cannot put any furniture on the walls unless one can guess at whats behind that part of the wall.

Another brilliant thread.

That's a very real possibility in my opinion. It is widely believed by some that we've had a steady progression of advances to our present level of technological development. There are many who feel it actually had periods of set backs and restarts, rediscoveries, etc.

Consider also that most advances initially were communicated by word of mouth or in a master/apprentice relationship.
A single civilization, cut off from others, which eventually failed, would lose much of the advances that civilization discovered.
It wasn't until relatively recent times that science, technology, crafts etc were written and transmitted around the world via many methods. In the 17th century the primary method may still have been via master/apprentice relationships, but with the printing of books a whole new world of communication opened up. Since roughly the Renaissance advances have been steady and increasingly faster.

It's been a while since I've posted any videos on a favorite ancient mysterious site of mine.
Here are some very interesting fairly recently posted videos on exploring some mysterious ancient sites. These videos are of the 'Towers' supposedly created by the Incas. I think Brien Foerster not only shows once again how what appears to be more advanced construction the further back in time one goes and that what are assumed to be the older more rudimentary construction are possibly actually the latest attempt to recreate those that were created at much much earlier period back in time.
The question remains, whether one believes an academician narrative or the 'Older more advanced lost Civ' scenario. What were their original purpose?

There are quite a few location involving the Incas that appear to blown apart or being damaged by what appears to be the result of some sort of explosion or massive upheaval.

These towers were used practically as agricultural storages IMO.

High Altitude Ancient Stone Energy Towers Of Peru
On the altiplano of Peru, at 13,000 feet above sea level near Lake Titicaca there are large stone towers which most archaeologists believe were used by the Inca and Huari people to bury their dead. However, were the towers made for funerary purposes? Or used long AFTER they were first constructed for that? This is what this video explores...
Enigmatic Energy Towers Of Ancient Peru
The ancient megalithic site of Sillustani, just northwest of Lake Titicaca in Peru has large stone towers called Chullpa which most academics believe were funeral structures. However, what if some of them are thousands of years older than any known culture, and were originally made for energetic reasons, and later used to bury the dead?
Ancient Energy Generating Towers Of Lake Titicaca Peru
The Chullpa towers at Sillustani near Lake Titicaca are thought by most academics to be burial places of the Inca and others. However, engineers I have taken there are of the opinion that the finest ones are far older than the Inca, and were of some energetic purpose.
