Meh, many of those have been explained or debunked.
Off the top of my head: The giant in the first post was a fake and they've worked out the mechanism for the moving stones (the effect is found in a few different places I think). No idea about the rocket, not seen it before. The "Baghdad Batteries" are usually considered to be holders for sacred scrolls, and are similar to other holders found in the region that are known to be for that purpose. The fact that the construction could also conceivably work as a crude battery is just a coincidence. Large stones - carving and movement? There seems to be a significant consensus that these things could be moved. Big enough levers and all that, plus massive amounts of human labour. Enough time, patience and ingenuity can move mountains. Practical tests have demonstrated it's possible to cut incredibly straight lines in rock with fairly simple equipment and technology that was known to the people at the time. Antikythera device - very interesting, but we knew that ancient knowledge of mathematics and astronomy were was pretty good. While it may have been something of a surprise that their engineering was at a stage to build the device, it's hardly a "mystery". Ancient astronaut figures - always so subjective. One man's headdress is another man's spacehelmet. |

Those moving stones in the nevada desert have been explained. I watched a show not that long ago on it. They tested it out in a wind tunnel using velocities obtained from instruments measuring wind speeds in the desert itself. Turns out that the topography surrounding the area causes the winds to increase speed as they drop down into the valley and are actually strong enough to move the stones. Usually happens after a rain or when dew/moisture is present. Thats why the trails stay the way they do b/c it was more mud like consistency when they slide. Also those stones are smaller, as in less than 2' diameter.

The bottom line is that archaeologists don't know shit.
Between the end of the last ice age wiping out several million square miles of previously-occupied lands, and who knows what other catastrophes erasing the collective memory of man, I am convinced that there is a huge chunk of human history that is missing, and will show that we are far older than we think as a civilized species. Whether or not that has anything to do with aliens is an entirely different subject... |

The Nazca lines, it just astonishes me that people are still not thinking that through.
They thought the gods were in the sky. So they drew a line drawing in the sand and looked down at it, then measured it. By simply scaling up that drawing ten or a hundred times with very simple math, you can reproduce it on a large scale for the gods to look down on. Nobody needs to be "up" to look down at it.

What's the mystery behind it? I watched the video (no sound here) but didn't notice much? Is the mystery the fact the sphere hasn't rolled off? Quote HistoryQuoted:

If it were really old it would have rusted away. There's another example where someone left a felt hat in a mine and if fossilized from a similar process. |

Wind pushing stones on a slicker than snot wet surface sounds like the most likely cause. What other alternative theory would you suggest? |

The only thing that makes me pause is that if there were advanced or semi-advanced populations before the ice age building stuff, it seems natural that they would've built stuff in places the ice/floods didn't cover up too. We see megalithic stone building all over the world. If an ice age came and covered everything down to France, there would still be some evidence of megalithic stone building further south. But there's always that nagging feeling like we've lost a lot of knowledge, especially before/during the Ice Age. We've gone from the Stone/Bronze Age to modern times in 4,000yrs. Man has been around far longer and has been drawing in caves for at least 20,000yrs. I can't imagine it took us 16,000yrs to get civilizations kickstarted. |

The monks of the early Catholic Church saved and re-copied millions of old documents from the Romans and Greeks during the dark ages this knowledge eventually was the beginning of the renaissance. It took mankind in Europe almost 1000 years just to get back to the same technology level of the Romans and Greeks. After the renaissance it took another 600 or so years to get to the modern day space age. |

We have a pretty clear timeline of when we started to settle down, discover agriculture, and were able to build communities and eventually cities instead of the old hunter gather thing. I am sure there are little niches of civilization that we will never know about... but I guess that depends what you are talking about. |
