re: Builders of the Ancient Mysteries - full documentary

I’m a big fan of this stuff. Very interesting.

Some of the similarities across different cultures like “everyone build pyramids” can be explained as being the most efficient way to build a tall structure or a “focus in the solstices” as everyone needed to know when to plant.

Others like common flood myths, myths of an ancient catastrophe, a focus in Orion, myths of Gods showing up and teaching them cosmology, math, the calendar, etc. are harder to explain as they cross cultures that weren’t supposed to be exposed to each other. DNA evidence too is telling. For instance, Amazon tribes are more Indonesian than East Asian…which differes from NA native Americans.

The truth is ancient people were moving all around and doing all kinds of things for 100,000 years before we pick up the story.
