    Anything is possible

    Stonehenge was a stone astrological calculator.and that is supposedly older than the great Pyramid

    There is a documentary called --what did the ancient Greeks do for us --on Discovery channel.

    And it describes a series of devices that is amazing ,they were far more advanced and technical than most people know .

    the Greeks we know better that came like 1000 years later were dumb by comparison.

    So copper astrological calculators can be believed easily.

    Under Olmec Temples they found huge plates of smooth machined Bakelite,which could have been components in huge transmitters there is no other possible explanation

    .

    and they were hidden below the ground so could not have been >ornamental ,On top of that there was no Bakelite to be found locally,too many Mysteries rolled into one ,Why ,How and What for

    Smooth tunnels with walls like glass in Peruvian mountains also defy understanding.

    Holes in Pyramids that line up with specific stars on certain days .turning the pyramids into huge astrological calculating devices also reveal intimate and advanced knowledge of the cosmos.

    Always Astrology ,does that not suggest something???

    I disagree with Chris who says it could be refinement of older technology.

    I think it could be the other way around ,like me making a primitive level from two sticks set at an angel with a measured cross bar and a weight on a string ,because i am too far from the shops to buy a modern one .

    Egyptians,Greeks ,Mayas ,Aztecs,Chinese,Persian etc all have evidences of greater civilizations before them.

    the earliest Pyramid in Egypt is the greatest

    The Aztecs and Mayas both said that they were but shadows of the greatness of their forefathers.

    And when one reads Enki`s book (if indeed it is real,),many things start to make sense

    Which was written very similar to the style of the Emerald tablets of Thoth ,Bearing in mind that all are translations from the most Ancient Egyptian hieroglyphics

    However the contents all connect with later events that we know in distorted or different ways .from the accepted scriptures

    And these writings reveal knowledge of advanced technology,Biology at molecular level,Scientific achievements such as creating live forms using genetic material and including space travel ,

    computers seems mild compared to that.

    .

    He'll probably mostly teach himself, but try going along to a local computer club, linux user group, or something like that. He really needs to interact with experienced programmers he can learn from that will stop him spending too much time reinventing wheels and pouring huge energy into doing things the wrong way. It's important to look at and take apart programs of others to understand how they work.

    It's amazing in terms of the complexity of the mechanism and it's careful, miniature design. Similar mechanisms from similar time periods have been known but this is the best and the most sophisticated example found. It's often described as the world's oldest known gear-driven analog computer.

    Ever heard of a book called 'the Bible Code'? or it's sequel 'the Bible Code II: the Countdown'?

    The author purports the Old Testement of the Bible --or maybe just the Torah--in the original Hebrew contains codes of all of history. That it was written by an 'Intelligent Being' in code similar to computer coding/language.

    Devices to assist in celestial navigation have been around for at least 5000yrs, so this is just a refinement of older technology. Read up on the druids and polynesians.

    I have actually heard of that. It's so amazing! I cannot believe it.

    People say that the ancient civilizations were, well, stupider then us who lived in primitive ways. But really, could we do everything with the knowledge, materials and technology they had? I sincerely doubt it.
