I always wondered... If they were super intelligent how did they become extinct?

Yeah I wouldnt pull the alien card but there are definitely tools that were used we know nothing about. Tools that demonstrate an advanced knowledge that shouldnt exist at those times.
I get the feeling our timelines for "civilization" may be way wrong.

A slight step above the peacock spaceship.

Rinse and repeat.
They want to believe in ancient aliens so bad that they will jam all shapes into a round hole.
ETA: I remember the alien laptop thread. That was a good one.

The more I research and learn, the more convinced I am that humanity has reached levels of technological advancement that surpasses (maybe far surpasses) where we are today multiple times in the past, but at some point something happens and forces a "reset" back to the stone ages.

What makes you think they traveled millions of miles through space in order to get to Earth?
How do you know they weren't an ancient unknown civilization that has always been on earth?
How do you know they didn't come from another dimension?
How do you know they didn't travel to Earth through a wormhole or use some other unknown method to get to Earth?
Maybe they decided to work with stones because it was all that was here to build stuff with at the time which they knew would last for millions of years.
If we ever visit another planet with the intent to colonize it then I'm sure we will look for natural resources on the planet that we can use rather than have to carry building material through space.

I dont know about multiple times, but once or twice would make sense.

Kardashians happen! At the point in the civilizations where leisure time exceeds work required, some kinda Kardashians emerge and from there on the civilization is doomed.

True, but we're going to 3D print bricks and robot assemble it so it will look nothing like Stone Hinge.
How come space ships are the only machines these alleged ancient aliens seem to have? Where's the hieroglyph of the robot bricklayer?

two to three is what I would guess.

They had the same brains as us, and utilized slave labor. Basically could do anything we can with natural materials.

Because you don't need something wacky to explain what's observed. All the maybe's in the world don't change that.
FWIW the Sumerians from around 3000 BC wrote complex financial contracts, including the equivalent of today's call options, business loans, etc. The Romans conducted financial audits. We know this because the documents survived.

I never said or implied that. In fact, I haven't said that I believe it was done by aliens. It could have been done by an unknown ancient civilization that was from Earth.
However, anyone who is so sure it was done by ordinary tools and technology they had at the time and by some ordinary method should be able to state what ordinary tools and technology they used to bore those perfect holes and "conduits" in hard rock and what was their purpose.

Ancient Astronaut Theorists like to imply hammer and chisel level sophistication, but they had drills back in the day too. Here are pics from a Nova special recreating an ancient drill.
quote:
Besides cutting clean surfaces on their granite, the Egyptians also drilled cylindrical holes into their stones. A hole eight inches in diameter was found drilled in a granite block at the Temple of Karnak.
...Stocks was brought along to test his theories about how the cores were drilled. Inspired by a bow drill seen in an ancient Egyptian wall painting, Stocks designs a home-made bow drill. He wraps rope around a copper pipe that the Egyptians could have forged. Hopkins and Lehner then pull back and forth on the bow, which is weighted from above. The pipe spins in place, rubbing the sand, which etches a circle into the stone. With the assistance of the sand, the turning copper pipe succeeds in cutting a hole into the granite slab.

I loved Ancient Aliens when it first came out. They had some interesting anomalies that really made you think. But as they ran out of real mysteries to talk about, they relied on audience ignorance to make their reaches work. Believing the stuff they put out today is about as bad as that millennial that was amazed that you could get TV for free with an antenna.
