Peru: Civilisation had been there for a very long time. ibid.
Machu Picchu: What surprised us was at the heart of the site built in a totally different style: huge andesite blocks, a very hard stone, had been assembled with precision, without any seal, stone against stone. ibid.
Bihar Area, India: 7 caves entirely excavated from massive granite blocks spread across 2 main sites … These are unique because of their precision. ibid.
From Easter Island to India via Peru we can see two very different styles. The work that is the most ancient is also the largest and most precise. ibid.
Why the need for accuracy? ibid.
‘The oldest material at Gobekli Tepe is the best. Did they wake up one morning with some magical inspiration?’ ibid. Graham Hancock
Let’s go from Easter Island taking a 30 degree orientation, and draw a line about 100 kilometers wide. The strip passes through Nazca in Peru and Machu Picchu, Ollantaytambo, Sacsayhuaman, Cuzco and Naupa Iglesia; it crosses the Atlantic to go over the sacred caves at Tassili N’Ajjer in Algeria, then through the Oasis of Siwa, by the Giza Pyramids in Egypt, over Petra in Jordan, Ur in Iraq, Persepolis in Iran, Mohenjo Daro in Pakistan, Khajuraho in India, Pyay in Berma, Sukhotai in Thailand, Angkor Wat and Preah Vihear in Cambodia, all likely to be connected a long time ago. And then over to the little known island of Aneityum in New Calodonia, then Easter Island. ibid.

Why and how could ancient people have dragged these railway-car size of stone, stacked them up together into these giant buildings? Ancient Aliens pilot episode Chariots, Gods & Beyond with Erich von Daniken, Childress
Huge machines cutting through solid rock. The transportation of multi-ton stone blocks. Modern aircraft carrying millions of people each day around the world. And space shuttles sending humans to the stars. Examples of modern technology or evidence that these incredible achievements actually existed on Earth thousands of years ago? Did ancient man possess knowledge far beyond that of our own century? And if so, from where did it come? Ancient Aliens s1e1: The Evidence, History 2010
Ancient alien theorists do not believe extraterrestrials built these amazing monuments but instead provided technological knowledge and/or tools to our ancestors. ibid.
The 3 largest manmade stones in the world are found at the Temple of Jupiter at Baalbek in Lebanon. Each weighs an estimated 1,000 tons. A nearly quarry contains an even bigger stone, known as the Stone of the Pregnant Woman. This giant rectangular block weighs an incredible 1,200 tons. To move it today would require the strength of 21 cranes. ibid.
If ancient civilisations did not possess modern mechanical equipment, how did they move and lift mega-ton stones? Were they given a technical helping hand by extraterrestrial visitors? ibid.
How did prehistoric civilisations cut such intrically designed patterns into solid granite? ibid.
‘The ruins we find at Puma Punku are simply extraordinary.’ ibid. Georgio
But how could ancient peoples have developed such technology? ibid.
‘So the precision on the inside of the granite boxes in the Serapeum I would say within two-thousands of an inch. Which is incredible.’ ibid. expert
Thirty miles south of Gallup, New Mexico, lies the pueblo of Zuni ... Much of the Zuni people’s history is etched into the rock-faces of the surrounding New Mexican desert ... These legends are rooted in the belief that the tribe’s creators and protectors are supernatural beings who came from the sky ... They appear to depict modern space travellers and their astral vehicles. Ancient Aliens s1e2: The Visitors

These Mycenaean fortifications were thought to be the work of a strong one-eyed race of giants known as the Cyclops. ibid.
How could ancient man have built such colossal structures? ibid.
It is possible that early builders had access to the kind of acoustic technology that would allow for the transportation and careful placement of multi-ton boulders and stone blocks? ibid.

A complex of stone structures dating back more than ten thousand years. And the remains of an Incan temple reported to have other-worldly origins. Ancient Aliens s2e8: Unexplained Structures
Sanliurfa [Urfa] in south-eastern Turkey: There in 1994 on a dusty hilltop a local shepherd noticed the tip of a stone sticking out of his field. He began to dig eventually unearthing a nineteen-foot pillar. Its edges were precise, and rising from its centre was the relief carving of a strange animal ... Perhaps the most astonishing archaeological discovery in recent years: a site known as Gobekli Tepe. ibid.
Curiously, after 13 years of digging, archaeologists investigating the ancient site have failed to recover a single stone-cutting tool. Nor have they recovered agricultural implements. ibid.
Peru: Home of the world’s longest mountain range – the Andes, the spine of South America. Here in a high river valley, amongst peaks towering over 20,000 feet, the Inca established their capital city of Cusco which thrived for over 300 years until Spanish conquistadors arrived in the 16th century. ibid.
Astonishing stonework but not all of it is credited to the Inca ... The Inca themselves believe the site was constructed by an earlier, unnamed race of people led by a powerful god who descended from the skies: Veracocha. ibid.
According to local legend a bird was responsible for the seamless construction. Legends say the winged creature carried a powerful chemical in its beak – a substance capable of melting stone. ibid.

In the journals [Edward Leedskalnin] left behind the builder explained that he had discovered the ancient secret of transforming stones into weightless objects. ibid.
