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?

Good questions.
Also, why is it that when aliens come to Earth they go to some ignorant, knuckle dranging slack-jaw to reveal their secrets? .......

Well...yes
I do see large gaps in the ancient engineering achievements claimed and/or related to aliens or beings from other planet(s). The Heavens did infact motivated the ancients to start star gazing. However there are still many unanswered questions that if the civilization was so advanced then why didn't it survive? They could have very well moved to different geographical region(s) and continue to flourish. Infact many of the egyptians might have migrated to different parts of the world but then again history unearthed from other parts of the world contradicts just that and questions the entire cradle of civilization(s) around the world. Everyday we keep finding skulls of ancient human and the dates keep going further back in time.

If the aliens were highly intelligent then why didn't they help the egyptians or humans on figuring out the biggest mystery....'How to understand a Woman?" I dont think anyone ever will

I read about John Keeley using exactly this technology, both for lifting heavy burdens, and also for turning rock to powder for the purpose of gold mining. It's hardly new, just takes awhile for people to accept that it's possible.

Gonna have to say I disagree. If we once had advanced technologies of any type and they were then forgotten then wouldn't they have developed again in the natural evolution of technology? We still cannot move 100 ton blocks of stone with any type of technology other than pure mechanical yet we are almost at quantum computing. To me, the ancient structures point to non-human interaction. I think the newest episode of Ancient Aliens puts forth some very good evidence for this.

My question is very valid and answers the question of where is the evidence of the building plans and pictures of workmen using tools.
Not one building we build today has a description and images of cranes, hydraulic machines, pictures of tools and how they build the building engraved on solid granite. Why would you expect the ancients do this?
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.
This is only being done now in case of an end of the world scenario. There are seed banks and deep underground vaults that have records and copies of everything recorded or created.
South America contain the worlds richest deposit in ancient, beautiful, well crafted walls and construction methods ever seen on this planet and I can see why we would easily deduce that the perfection found had to have been alien.
Freemasonry and their untold rumours of ancient knowledge being shared with Davinci, and Nostradamus who saw and read very ancient technologies that were used before the great forgetting were echoed in their works but thats a little speculative and off topic.edit on 19-3-2012 by Shadow Herder because: (no reason given)
