Where is the evidence of their highways?
And here's one that none of the Atlantis-boys have thought of: Rebar. Metal reinforced concrete should last for tens of thousands of years, simply because the iron is actually encapsulated in "rock" (concrete). Yet we've never found any such. Why not?
Roman concrete, like any concrete, consists of an aggregate and hydraulic mortar – a binder mixed with water that hardens over time. The aggregate varied, and included pieces of rock, ceramic tile, and brick rubble from the remains of previously demolished buildings. Reinforcing elements, such as steel rebar, were not used.
Anyway can anyone please tell me why people here believe that the ancient civilizations couldn't be scientifically advanced? Not being able to find its traces is not an excuse... can i have an intelligent reason?
Archaeological evidence exists from 10,000 years ago. None of it indicates globe spanning advanced urban empires
Chakra (????, chakura) is essential to even the most basic technique; it is the moulding of the physical energy (???????, shintai enerugi) present in every cell of the body and the spiritual energy (???????, seishin enerugi) gained from exercise and experience. Once moulded, it can be channelled through the chakra circulatory system, which is to chakra as the regular circulatory system is to blood, to any of the 361 chakra points (called tenketsu) in the body. Through various methods, the most common of which is hand seals, the chakra can then be manipulated to create an effect that would not be possible otherwise, such as walking on water, exhaling fire or creating illusions.
By moulding different ratios of the two energies, new types of chakra can be formed. Most ninja have a natural affinity to one type of chakra, but they have the capacity to create elemental chakra apart from their own affinity. There are five basic types, each stronger and weaker to another, but their relations, weaknesses, and strengths to each other are all explored. There is also the dealing of Yin and Yang and the balance of mental and physical energies. In addition to these five elements, certain kekkei genkai can mix elemental chakra to form new natures, for example it is possible to mix water and wind into ice. While many ninja can use more than one type of chakra, very few are able to use them simultaneously.

But claiming that Einstein was a secret Kabbalist is not a responsible statement.
“It seems to me that the idea of a personal God is an anthropological concept which I cannot take seriously. I feel also not able to imagine some will or goal outside the human sphere. My views are near those of Spinoza: admiration for the beauty of and belief in the logical simplicity of the order which we can grasp humbly and only imperfectly. I believe that we have to content ourselves with our imperfect knowledge and understanding and treat values and moral obligations as a purely human problem—the most important of all human problems.”
Albert Einstein, 1947; from Banesh Hoffmann, Albert Einstein Creator and Rebel, New York: New American Library, 1972, p. 95.
“I believe in Spinoza's God who reveals himself in the orderly harmony of what exists, not in a God who concerns himself with fates and actions of human beings.”
Albert Einstein, upon being asked if he believed in God by Rabbi Herbert Goldstein of the Institutional Synagogue, New York, April 24, 1921, published in the New York Times, April 25, 1929; from Einstein: The Life and Times, Ronald W. Clark, New York: World Publishing Co., 1971, p. 413; also cited as a telegram to a Jewish newspaper, 1929, Einstein Archive 33-272, from Alice Calaprice, ed., The Expanded Quotable Einstein, Princeton, NJ: Princeton University Press, 2000, p. 204.

My number one argument against highly advanced ancient earth civilizations, is that there are no anceint satelites found anywere in our solar system. If they were space fairing, you would think some sort of space junk would have been found floating around one of our planets or the sun. Nothing yet found on the moon to show past space exploration either.
If we all blew up today from collision with planet X and the earth was completely wiped out and reborn with fresh crust etc.. in a billion years some space junk would still be around for any future intelligent life on earth to find. Hell who knows spirit and oportunity might still be sending back pictures then...

if ancient humans possesed more Mana/ Prana [or Chakura]
and psychokinesis were common: would they bother inventing levers and pulleys?
No they wouldn't.

Yes exactly and maybe they were not a paper, metal, plastic, fossil fuel, money based society like we are...maybe they lived in harmony with nature,not at war with it trying to control it like we do and they may all have been natural born psychics,with both telepathic and telekinetic abilities...

that is my point
a civilization based on psychic abilities/ magickal powers
will not leave Material artifacts to be found

Probably because more than one type of advanced civilization arose then fell,or even left the earth in the distant and forgotten past...

Then why do we find material artifacts then??
Hmmmm?...We have gone from using horse drawn carriages and wagons in 1900...To using nuclear powered aircraft carriers in 1961...In only sixty years...

developing technology takes a lot longer then you think. You have to realize technology builds on previous discoveries. Do you have any idea how long it took to get were we are now?
