I've been to Poverty Point, LA. Definitely worth a visit if you're in the area. Visiting Poverty Point and checking out the battlefield at Vicksburg is worth a short weekend getaway.

Those picture links aren’t working for me

Yeah I don't know why it breaks in linking it sometimes but it does that when I use this browser. I edited the original now to work but they aren't in linked format.

I always thought the temples of Southeast Asia like Ankor Wat resembled the Mayan and Aztec ruins of Central America. They supposedly date from around the same time period as well (Late Middle Ages).

Wait so you don’t think that bricks can be put onto boats and shipped to Florida?

Why are you so blown away by this?? They have many forts just like this sprinkled all over the southern part of the country

I still can't get them to work. I went through 10 pages on the X board, and I can't find the darn thing.
ETA; Looks like we are still getting comments here from people reacting to the first page.
Guys, this has ceased to be a discussion on the fort thing.

That...was a ride. Ice spiders, bullet train tunnels, children being experimented on, this is why I come here. This is why threads like this exist.

Bruh, we are so past stupid brick polygonal forts. We're discussing Antarctic ice spiders, Egyptian princesses buried in Ireland, Romans in America, and blonde mummies in Peru.

Yeah it was a truly stupendous story. Those /x/ stories get wild.
And like you saying the same buildings from India to Mexico, I agree. The singing rocks of Pennsylvania are another notable rock "formation" (probably destruction of a temple) comparable to the singing temples in India also.

Well the links in that post that weren't working should be working if you just paste them into the bar now.

Thanks for the update, there for a bit I thought that I was at "Above Top Secret" when we got to the giant skeletons from around the world and the red haired giants of the South Pacific bit. No doubt that the Smithsonian has fiercely defended, by whatever means necessary, their preferred version of the truth.

One of the things that most struck me when walking through the ruins of Pompeii as a teen were just how familiar it felt. Pompeii, despite having been destroyed almost 2000 years ago, looked exactly like the main street in any town built before the automobile. The streets resemble the brick streets you often find buried preserved under layers of cracking asphalt. The shops looked exactly like modern shops from the building materials to the sizes, to the sidewalks, etc. It all looked like it could have been any town where the roofs had been removed and the facades over the bricks stripped away.

Boston, MA
New York, NY
Savannah, GA
New Orleans, LA
St. Louis, MO
San Francisco, CA
A lot of conspiracy theories revolve around one of two premises:
1. America was settled by old world civilizations long before Columbus arrived in 1492
2. Many American cities are much older than conventional narratives would lead us to believe
There is so much Neo-classical architecture in the New World. Is it all an attempt at paying homage to the past, or was it actually built by the same people who built Europe’s classic architecture?
Maybe the reason Pompeii looks and feels so familiar is because it is? Maybe it was built by the same people around the same time period as all of these supposedly young American cities? If these cities really were built at the same time by the same people, how would that change the narrative of American history? Would that undermine the founding of our government?
It may be that the traditional narrative is correct, but these sorts of apparent inconsistencies of the naked eye breed questions.

Wow, that is quite a ride. Still learning to navigate around that site.

A good way is to just click the catalog button when you are on the board you want. Then you can see the every thread on that board and get a little bit about the thread. The homepage for that board shows the ongoing conversations of the 10 most recently bumped threads. There is also a search button at the top right of the catalog if you want to see if any particular topics are up without having to read through all the topics.

So this is in the totally normal world, not anything conspiratorial. There's a group that shows historical stuff about Kansas City. This one guy was talking about downtown KC and how he works tiling. He then says it is like a lot of those downtown buildings are on like three story tall stilts to hold them up above the previous buildings.
KC does get a bit of play in the mud flood story line so it does make me wonder if I need to find a way to go underground there.

It would explain why Latin is in so many places. IDK this, was Britain using a lot of Latin, why would our founders be using Latin, and I just don't why our founders would have been using Latin so much but maybe they were?
