What do you mean there is no evidence or proof? Underwater Pyramids? Giza Pyramids? Nazca lines? Electroplating in Egypt. And all that evidence I have collated for the vedic civilization from ancient spectrometers to solar-powered ion engines to quantum and particle physics.
How do you suppose the ancient Egyptians were electroplating and building Pyramids? How do you suppose the Incans were able to draw hundreds of miles of lines, that can only be seen from a high aerial perspective. How, do you suppose the ancient Indians calculated the exact age of the Earth? How do you suppose Indian scientists are building new materials from ancient Sanskrit texts?
To me it seems so obvious, but it dumbfounds me, that so many would ignore this. So, I ask, why are you ignoring this and be honest, do you care an iota about the "truth"?

Indigo_Child, question(s),
If many here assert that the Bible, a religious text, should not be utilized for ancient historical reference(s), would Indian religious text(s) fall under the same scrutiny? If no, then the Bible, again, a religious text, should and can be used for ancient historical purposes?

Uncle Joe says:
"Incas, using ballons were able to mark out where they wanted their markings to go..."
I've not seen anything that says that the Incas or their precursors had balloons, whether capable of carrying a person or not.
Do you have any links to this?

I think I'm a little confused as to the point of this thread. Indigo, are you trying to say that there is a coverup to the fact that these ancient civilizations had tech similiar to our own now? Or are you saying that they obviously had a helping hand in their amazing feats?
I too am frustrated with the ideology that people have when thinking about ancient civilizations and the amazing accomplishments, but for a different reason. I just can't understand that some people can't handle the fact that these great people had amazing knowledge and skills and imagination needed to perform such feats as building pyramids, drawing earthly lines for miles, or determine complex solar and earthly calculations. I just don't think that we give mankind enough credit. All the feats listed above can be performed using crude tools and amazing brainpower. So, where is the conspirecy? Who is saying that they didn't do such things? Why do we have to cheapen what they did by saying that they couldn't do it without having advance technology, or outside (alien) influence and help? Honor their legacy by accepting that using brilliant mathematics and sheer dertimination, mixed with ample imagination, was all these amazing people needed.

Good points, and I was pointing out that most of everything would be washed away with the exceptions of major landmarks. There have been several geologists confirm that there are water marks on the sphinx suggesting to some of climate differences conflicting with the projected time of which it was built.
Also: I really don't think that any amount of water would be able to wash away a pyramid, especially ones in the scope and size of Giza, the Yucatan, China, and Mexico. Again, look at the pyramids in Japan. If these are real pyramids (as of yet, I don't think a professional opinion has been made) they are still mostly intact. Thus, even thought the technology would be lost (and I agree with you that most of it would be lost after a flood of that size) I'm trying to maintain that traces of this civilization remain in artifacts that we credit to the ancients.
It's just something to think about.

So, why is there no error in the Pyramids or Nazca lines? Again, refresh your memory, look at the spider spanning several hundreds of yards - that can only be seen from high in the sky. Look at how the Pyramids are aligned, calibrated to the golden mean phi and even aligned with the stars, so that the shafts points to certain constellations. Did our ancients have superhuman intelligence?

Well see, I'd love to believe that ancient civilizations had advanced technology, but it's just not feasable to me. For one, there's too much evidence to the contrary. Also, I think we would have found SOMETHING. ANY remnant of their techonology. Any working electronic machine dated that long ago. Civilization doesn't decline, it progresses.
