Oh well let me know. One thing, the book was a hoax, but the alien evidence found wasn't a hoax.
It is now known that the book was largely science fiction dressed up as non-fiction, but many people had already decided that the Dropa story was bogus—especially those who erroneously) argue that the book was the first to mention the “ridiculous” story.
But it was definitely not a hoax—at least not one executed in 1978. The Berlin-based historian Dr Jörg Dendl has been able to trace the first mention of the Dropa story to 1962, when a monthly magazine for vegetarians, Das vegetarische Universum ( “The Vegetarian Universe”), published an article titled “UFOs in Prehistory?” in its July edition. Dr Dendl has so far not been able to find the original Chinese or Japanese source, but it is clear that the story is much older than 1978.

And for you saying that modern day people proved anything, that is wrong because they couldn't even move the Moai without cranes, then said that they discovered everything and everything was ok so it is funny how people get away with it.
You're incorrect. There was an episode of Nova where an anthropologist and a crew of dudes were able to "walk" the Moai using ropes, manpower, coordination and gravity.

They found some organic material, the same at Tiahuanaco recently, they are trying to debunk as hard as they can but they just can't in all righteousness because this is the smoking gun, it is the proof.

I'm just frustrated that civilization has tried to cut off every access to ancient history in the last 2,000 years when it's obvious there is more to it.

....and why would 'Civilization' do that? Especially a Civilization that invented Archaeology and all manner of technical ways to find out more about the ancient history of the world.....if the 'Civ' was trying to hide stuff why look for it so long and so hard?
One wonder eh?

I still have no clue as to really who they are or why they did any of it. Not only pyramids, but any of it. It reminds me of really, the work of 'gods' or something. Why would you make rocks of more than 100s tons and carry them vast distances, but whoever made the rocks knew what they were doing because we can't really do it in the same way, and if we replicated it there would have to be machinery involved. Don't pay attention to the fringe discussions, just look at the stone work in this video.

If it is 'the smoking gun" there is absolutely no buzz going on in archaeology about it.....
No in fact they shut anybody down way before there is a buzz.
Listen for 10 minutes, a couple stories of the 100s.

Who is 'they'?

They probably found that cutting rocks was more difficult that moving them, so they moved the largest possible. They knew a great deal about rocks as they had been making stone tools for hundreds of thousands of years, they developed great expertise and like us had 'masters' or experts at stone crafting as we have had in other subjects.
As an example; it took two generations for modern humans to regain the ability to make the most complicated stone tools, however large scale masonry is to expensive and requires lots of people to participate something that is difficult to arrange these days so those specific arts will probably not be duplicated with cruder tools they had then.

many of the stones are not of the natural shape, they have been modified to fit in the structure, and it appears that it wasn't all too hard for them. That certainly cannot be done without some kind of machinery.
