yea, I get that. apologies if i get defensive or insulting. never ever my intent. internet is hard to convey my mischievous smile as I ask the questions. I really love hearing the totality of what people believe.
Critical thinking and suspicion of authority is good and needs to be cultivated in people as we dont teach it, as it would collapse society every few years as we restructure.
No offense taken at all, thank you for not taking me as combative. Text is a woeful medium sometimes.
Always trying to get back there. 
I LOVE THIS THREAD!
Also just found this for those in 
Thanks @GREANDAL , you TOTALLY get it.
I made this thread for 2 reason:
Chand Baori step well in Abhaneri, Rajahstan, India. It consists of 3,500 narrow steps over 13 stories deep or about 100 feet (30 m) into the ground. c.800-900 CE.
Great place. Best ever use in a film: “The Fall”
(Movie was shot over 4 years in 26 different countries)
It’s not in authority’s interest to do so of course. I was lucky to have the parents I did.
Ok HELL NO! 
shudder
It’s awesome but a little deep for me. My old quads burn just looking at it.
Sc-arc-beria
That’s awesome! Thanks for sharing. Never seen that before. Got some googling to do.
Wooo this thread is nuts lol. Grains of truth about ancient peoples and some WILD conclusions being drawn from them. Powerful “ancient aliens crazy” vibes haha.
Pyramids are easier to build than skyscrapers lol. That’s why there’s so many of them all over the world. If they were “so advanced more than us”…they sure had crappy metallurgy.
The steps are so you can always get to the water no matter what the level.
THANK YOU!
Stay a while, the water’s fine. 
While I couldn’t agree less with the whole “bigfoot used to be the ruling class of Atlantis” type of “history”, I find myself fascinated with the Basque people being the original transoceanic society.
I think “Atlantis” was the Basques, who had a large Empire built near the coasts of Spain/Portugal/France/British Isles until the sea levels began rising, which flooded the major cities and the empire crumbled, was rebuilt, and crumbled again…like Egypt…ancient Egypt is still thousands of years of history. It wasn’t one city, it was probably many over a long time. Evidence was lost, it wasn’t like they had modern technology. I believe they visited many places, including North America. I believe they were the Sea Peoples mentioned in the Bible, who prior, had migrated from Europe to the Mediterranean, starting new empires like the Phoenicians, Phillistines, etc.
I think they visited many places but whether they had a lot of contact with say N America is debatable. North America was sparsely populated, places like India and China are a lot further to sail than the Mediterranean.
That’s as tinfoil as I’m willing to go.
There’s also a theory about it possibly being in South-West Morocco at the Atlantic Ocean where there WAS an inland bay fed by the Atlantic and a river forming the circle-within-circles as described by Plato from his re-telling from centuries prior.
Because of the way the area is, any evidence of this would have been buried to deep for us to find.
The Basques also have the highest per capita percentage of negative blood on earth.
without doubt is a good thread.
They spending milions of dollars to discovery under the water something of atlantis
