I don't actually believe in anything strange. However, I think there are many many things that require better explanations. For example, people do claim to see UFOs everyday, I never have but many people claim to see these things, so what are they seeing? There are gold mines that are 50k years old, according to archeologists, man didn't start mining gold until 3-4, thousand years ago. So who was mining gold 50k years ago? There are stones in the western wall that are so heavy they could not be moved today, how did the people that built it move those stones? There seems to be many things about mans history that just don't seem to make much sense.

Well, I don't know about ancient gold mines, but for ancient construction I will say this. Ancient people still had good mathematics and engineers. If you were to use a pully and connect a large thing you wanted to lift to a very heavy counterweight, and then dig out underneath the counterweight, guess what? Now the object you're lifting becomes essentially weightless if the weights match, or if the counterweight is heavy, you can lift it easily. Then you can slide boards under the lifted object to create scaffolding. Rinse and repeat.

I just searched for an old video I remember seeing. Quality isn't good. Guy recreates stonehenge using ancient building techniques. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oK1Rzch89Dw
