> I'm personally unconvinced that there weren't ancient civilisations with advanced technologies, yet undiscovered, which moved mountains for their own purposes.

This idea is so old it's like beating a dead horse by now. Just the idea that we are not capable of these incredible things just goes to show how little you understand or respect human ingenuity.

> Heck, even the Pentagon admits it doesn't know it all about UFO's, c'mon ..

This didn't happen... ?

Rather, a ex-pentagon guy was recruited by an ex-pop singer guy's nonsense organization, with some nonsense claims.

This is called a PR stunt.

>"respect human"

You say tomato, I say 'contemporary hubris for/against ancient, misunderstood cultures'. I do, indeed, have a great deal of respect for human ingenuity, or I wouldn't be having this conversation with you, presumably a human, in the first place.

>PR stunt

I would say that we've been talking about PR stunts all along, no? I mean, what else could cave-paintings be?
