Hogland is not an Egyptologist and would have no place 'opening' secret tombs in Egypt. Egypt is very strict about the archeology that goes on there, but they were suprized by the tone of some of the films taped there.
Hogland is a well known peddler of pseudo-scientific drivel.
(I especally love how his 'high tec' glyphs look just like Star Wars toys. )
A film crew can no more 'verify' a scientific/archeological discovery than a postal worker can conduct a murder investigation.

and Humans built the pryamids with 'simple' tools, not aliens or Atlantians with tractor beams.
Give the people credit for their inginuity, they deserve it.

I think the ancients were a little smarter than what you give them credit for. If their tools were so simple, than explain how the pyramids were built. BTW this was not the main point of this post, it was about the sanskrits.

The fairy tales from second link in the OP refers to Mr. Berlitz and Mr. von Däniken. No further research is needed to realize that it is a massive humbug. And what's so special about those statements anyway? Any respectable religion has its stories of mysterious weapons and means of conveyance. Elijah's chariot of fire, the WMD on sodom and Gomorrah, Jesus' commuting to and from heaven after Good Friday, to pick a few cases from the Bible.

The articles give no chapter and verse references to the Indian scripures, so even if I had the time and inclination, it would have been difficult to find the citations to explain how they are misinterpreted. I'l just give one example, not needing book references.

Quote:
Writing found at Mohenjodaro in Pakistan (presumed to be one of the "Seven Rishi Cities of the Rama Empire"and still un deciphered, has also been found in one other place in the world: Easter Island! Writing on Easter Island, called Rongo-Rongo writing, is also un deciphered, and is uncannily similar to the Mohenjodaro script.


In the first place, no serious person, scholar or amateur, believes in a Rama empire. There may be some reality behind the Rama myth, but the god Rama has, of course, never existed outside of story books, however interesting those are.

In the second place, I can't believe that the opinion that the scripts mentioned resemble one another is held by anyone who has compared good pictures of them. The few similarities are in all probability just chance phenomena. The scholarly opinion is that the scripts have emerged independently in the two places.

It is also interesting to note that in one picture on the site, people are travelling in/on some yellow means of transport. That is probably to suggest the existence of aeroplanes. I have seen several similar pictures, but in those, it has always been possible to see the heads of the birds, which rather obviously have been erased here!

Conclusion: credibility = 0.

The pyramids were built with blood, sweat and tears. (and lots of rope and sledges)
They left hundreds of images and written accounts of themselves building the pyramids. We have the tombs of the workers and the remains of thier camps and tools.

you mention both the anchient americans and the Egyptions. Both areas I have more experince with thus I will talk more about them. If you only wanted to talk about the 'sanskrits' as you call them then you should not have mentioned the others.

Then how come we don't know how they built them?

Now first, I don't believe in aliens and Atlantis is myth. However, I believe that ancients were smarter than what most people give them credit for. And another thing. The figures are not zoomorphic. Angel sharks do not have verticle stabilizers.

take a closer look, they have a fin on thier tail that looks just like the stabalizer

check out for a start.

They were very smart, especally working with the tecnology avalable. To figure out how to build such a monumental building in the first place is certenly evidence of Imhoteps genious.
The fact that previous builders figured out how to build the origional Mastaba's is evidence of thier genious as well.
The fact that they didn't have tractor beams and space ships doesn't take away from thier genious, it enhances it. They did more than we are capable of dispite all our grand tecnology.
