Not at unclassified levels of resolution, though. There remains a fairly tight hold on things from overhead, non-airbreathing imagery platforms. They do not want to give away the full capabilities of the sensors. I will say that most average citizens would be shocked by what is exploitable just in the visible spectrum.
Get into the IR/Thermal/Radar based sensors? Forget it. You'll never have a naïve sense of "privacy" ever again.

No question - it would merely be a logistical exercise. With CAD, lasers, etc. - a reverse engineering has been doable for decades. But, even today, it would be a daunting, expensive task to complete. Back then, stone construction became the Egyptian national pastime for several hundred years.

Great Wall. 5500 miles is a lot. You can view the pyramids at once. You can't walk the entire Great Wall.

You are the only one here making good points against pyramid alien assistance.
However, our inability to explain how it was done is the most daunting issue for the skeptics.

Come back when you have some evidence to refute ancient alien pyramid theory.
We don't know exactly how they did it... hmm... must be aliens!!!

I'll offer a counter argument and say the pyramids because they have no real functional purpose like the Great Wall. Best ancient luxury item ever!

That "if" is a big word, here. Goldberg is the nut that pushes false memory syndrome - he's a dentist/hypnotherapist/psychologist.
He's certainly studied the human psyche enough to target certain populations with a message.

Having been to the GWC I think it is the most impressive thing I have seen. Its not the sheer size of the wall or how long it is. They put it along the ridges of the mountains and across the tops. It is amazing. I also thought Hoover dam was impressive as well.

Hoover Dam is one of the few things I've seen that are supposed to impress you that actually did impress me.
