The ancient people most likely had no hopes or premonitions that there civilization was going to perish or 'vanish' This then becomes the reason as to why there is very little information in our records that show the building practices and all the tools necessary to move, cut and chisel such great and wonderful structures.

Now can you imagine a civilization with no computers, tv or electricity to occupy time. They would have all the time in the world to perfect what they would consider super high tech.
Or, alternatively, all the time they needed to break stone out of a quarry, square it up, and drag it up a ramp to place it into the edifice they were building.
Your hypothesis ignores established facts like the presence of saw marks on stones found in AE construction, including the GP.
Also, you're ignoring the presence of marks on stones at Tiwanaku that indicate the use of pounding stones and chisels.
So, you can explain anything as long as you can pick and choose which facts to ignore.

Not at all. I like many others are attempting to explain how some of these well quarried and crafted stones with mysterious drill holes and cut marks could have been accomplished with out the need of alien intervention.

There are many stones that are far to great to have been moved by modern ways.

Well all this proves is that Ancient Civilizations were a ton more advanced than we are even to this day. My question is why the heck does civilization just keep going back to the point of having absolutely nothing and then working back up from nothing? History sure doesn't seem to be adding up like our History books try to make us believe.

Use your brain a little more. Research the readily available stories and lore that came from these cultures you think were inspired by E.T's. Reading your post makes me feel like a dolt for ever entertaining the idea of A.A.edit on 19-3-2012 by Shadow Herder because: (no reason given)
I would respectfully request that you do the same, because there is no empirical research to suggest your theory is sound.
There are no written records detailing vibration technology.
There are no artifact records detailing vibration technology.
Nothing you have referenced can stand up to critical analysis.
Yes there is.
Yes there is. It has been proven and shown in this thread and many others.

Now I don't want to step on anyone's sacred cow, but why would these advanced aliens travel vast distances to come here and show us how to quarry and stack large stones? I mean, wouldn't at least one of the local farmers have stepped up and said, "Yes, that's a very nice pyramid, now could you please show us how to build a dam so the Nile River will stop washing out my crops every year? And while you're at it, could you please use your advanced technology to make it a hydroelectric dam so we can have a light above our dinner table?"
When the Peace Corps or missionaries go to foriegn countries, they often teach the people how to grow crops or raise livestock or even how to do proper dental care. Most indigenous people would probably think it wierd if a fancy stranger walked into their village and offered to put up a pyramid. Why wouldn't the ancient Egyptians think the same?
If ancient Egyptians couldn't have built the pyramids, and if there was no vanished, technologically superior human race that could, then why not attribute the feat to Martians or some other interplanetary extraterrestrial beings? There has been a continuing abundance of books that have put forth this very theory: The Morning of the Magicians by Louis Pauwels and Jacques Bergier (Stein and Day, 1964), Chariots of the Gods? by Erich von Däniken (GP Putnam's Sons, 1970), The Stairway to Heaven by Zecharia Sitchin (St. Martin's Press, 1980), Mars Mystery: The Secret Connection Between Earth and the Red Planet by Graham Hancock (Three Rivers Press, 1999), and Gods of the New Millennium: Scientific Proof of Flesh & Blood Gods by Alan F. Alford (Hodder & Stoughton, 1999).
Again, these theories are not based on any scientific evidence or on the known archaeological record, but rather on fantasy firmly grounded on false supposition
