      It's just that there is not an actual logical connection between the anecdotes he divulges, nor is there any actual evidence for any monument-buiding before 12,000 ybp (Göbekli Tepe being the oldest known monumental construction site), nor is any of the monuments underneath his "elastic band" anywhere near such an age.
      In truth, it all sounds nice, but it adds up to one big non sequitur.

      Had TED censored parts or banned it, I would share your disparaging view. But all they did was post a 'heads-up', stating that the talk does not meet a level of corroboration or proof. That is fair enough. TED posted a heads-up, and we the viewer are free to judge for ourselves how much credence we give it. I found it highly credible. And, he only encouraged more investigation into the past. He did not posit wild claims about aliens. I see ZERO in TED's two sentence heads-up that represents a 'mask for prejudice'

But he said “We might be missing some pieces to the puzzle; we might not. Let’s find out.” I really appreciate this perspective. And his closing thoughts (because his claims here are extraordinary): “Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.” Love that he didn’t shy away from that.

      One might hypothesize energy collectors or converters on earth to use such energy. Astrophysicists have been discussing this as a 2nd stage Civilization possibility for future centuries since the 70s....after we have converted all potential energy on earth....or as an alternative to localized electrical energy plants like we experience the last 140 years.

    What was in this talk that is outside the guidelines? He started with a fringe idea that after decades of work is now an accepted mainstream theory (plate tectonics). Then explained how a more recent fringe idea led him to dig a little deeper and how that digging led to a new discovery (the two day orbit). And concluded with the idea that fringe science isn't such a bad starting point to look at things from a different perspective, ask questions that mainstream science hasn't thought to ask, and to investigate things even if they have a 'good enough' explanation already. Isn't that the whole point of science? To get past the 'good enough' theories to the actual truth?

    Thank you Roger. This is one of the most exciting talks that I have enjoyed in the TED(x) smorgasbord of scientific thought discussion. There is no doubt about the existence of a very dramatic, wonderful, inspiring presence of a pre-historic existence of a humanity that excelled at producing mind boggling structures in ways and means that completely escape our "modern" understanding. I have always been convinced of the existence of a single "human culture" that produced colossal works of Art characteristically similar everywhere on Earth as well as the towering heights of their astronomical and mathematical knowledge.

      I agree. It's frustrating being in my 60s because I don't want to clock out without some of this stuff being 'solved'. What does puzzle me however about these ideas is where is the writing? I'm pretty sure a civilization advanced enough to do oceanic travel and mapping or (as this video shows) might have even understood complex orbits, would have had to have writing. So why just cryptic figures with handbags? Why not cover walls of stone with writing telling us their story, preserving it for us, which is what they were apparently trying to do: seed the hunter gatherers with technical know-how. It's a frustrating but fascinating puzzle. Ancient Apocalypse on Netflix is superb if you've not seen it. Grahame Hancock is a wonderful speaker and filmmaker.

    Roger gives an excellent talk. I have wondered for most of my life, about the megaliths, that would challenge our abilities today. We have ancient maps, showing all parts of this Earth, not just the oceans, but correctly showing continental interiors. History is not what we are taught in school. We know that these mysteries were kept from our questioning minds.

I once heard of an experiment involving two Parana fish in two separate tanks. One tank held regular oxygen levels and the other higher oxygen levels. The Parana that had the higher oxygen environment grew much larger than the Parana with the regular oxygen levels. So if the Earth had a higher oxygen level in ancient times Giant Humans could have been a reality, I think.

Part of my job in the past 40 years was analyzing hi-res bathymetry and hi-res seismic data for offshore site surveys on the US continental shelf (up to +/-600' water depth) prior to drilling/pipeline/cable operations. Part of the written report (public information) was a check for seafloor or shallowly buried potential 'habitation sites'. There were a few seen over to 50 or so 3miX3mi sites I worked on, usually buried under a few meters of sediment (several thousand years worth by paleontology, indicating that sea level has risen and/or the land has subsided) and located near to a now-buried stream channel. The US Geological Survey, Bureau of Land Management, and the Bureau of Indian Affairs were always interested in those sections of the report, and we always had to avoid doing any operations directly over or near those areas.

    For anyone passing by this comment. There are two specific things you should research. 1) Super flat surfaces. We're talking 8m long flat granite carved from the bedrock with a flatness of 1.1-3 micron deviations near Cusco. 2) Also look at the box at the Serapeum of Saqqara. Inside edge precision and squareness, in particular the inside edges.
    These two things show the same level of capability on opposite sides of the world. The box in particular shows that things like even diamond tipped circular saws could not manucature then due to the cutting radius precludes the inside edges and corners
    Technology to *measure* the micron level flatness has only existed since a few decades ago and many aerospace experts struggle to imagine how you would create them with their knowledge and capabilities.
    It is inconceivable that 'copper tools' could accomplish this feat when we could not operate at this level of capability until after accomplishing manned space flight. which suggests.... manned space flight was possible back when these surfaces were produced.

So many questions, it's a fantastic mystery to contemplate.

    Thanks to our speaker Roger Gilbertson. Yes, I do completely follow your line of reasoning, and likewise, but at 11-years of age in 1958, a few years before it was confirmed, I realised the African continent fitted well into its neighbouring continent, south America but thought little more about it.
    To move forwards, I put it to you that a very real disadvantage the West has manufactured for itself has been with multiple choice questions and the dilution of subjects taught in our schools.
    To develop creative minds and to stretch thinking requires; art, craft, theology, but where it covers all religions equally (Histories, society impacts and so on), and could also include the foundation course for say, Fine Art, which would provide a good depth of understanding of graphics 3D modelling for design and architecture and much more besides to open minds up to possibilities.
    My point is that we have to stop restricting the minds of our children with a load of TOSH (Teaching Only Short Hand… responses), largely taught in infant and primary schools, potentially implementing a form of Mind Control (readers...please do not shout out a no, but go and research with an open mind and learn to be shocked at the reality of how teaching has failed in our over structured teaching methods).
    What needs to be removed is all multi-choice questions, instead let their minds reason the answers and learn that life is about putting in the effort to get out of life a positive result. This is the problem in the whole of the West.
    a few centuries ago gaining a degree meant standing for a long, long time in front of the universities management, including the dean an' all. The purpose was that you had to show you had 'really acquired in depth knowledge' of your subject by speaking all of your examination question out loud to the college management team.
    When I went to school only 2% in the UK had a degree and now forty percent of the UK school children attend university to serve in fuel stations and fast food centres and too often not much more for too many degree holders. Me? I left school and home at 15-years and provided automation that helped put the London Stock Exchange online to hundreds of brokers and the world's first online bank in 1984, but my west London secondary school (Featherstone's) provided and excellent foundation for me to continue reading, questioning and absorbing.
    The ability for pupils and secondary students to reason with a developed rationale has been dampened down! Has this been purposeful so that they challenge their governments less and less...maybe. Academia does not like challenges to their written essays, papers, and curriculum, and therefore changes this would bring.
    This seems extraordinary and contrary as science is meant to be an ongoing challenge, otherwise we do not develop our technologies and move forwards solving our society’s problems.
    Perhaps that was what also happened to our forefathers you are seeking to discover more about; one wonders if the human mind is capable of reaching near to discovering the what, where, and how of our heaven(s) but like an over-revving engine loses power dramatically as the tachometer moves into the red area on the dial and the vehicle soon comes to a crashing halt.

  • @nibiruresearch

    I admire every person who investigates our very ancient history with an open mind. Thank you Mr Gilbertson. Mankind is much older than most people think. Civilizations come and go in a cycle because the Earth is suffering from a recurring natural disaster. That is what ancient books as the Indian Mahabharata and the Mayan Popol Vuh, tell us. There is one long era in which mankind can develop to even a higher level than we know today, succeeded by four shorter era in which people reach only a low level. The high level civilization knew that, and when, they would disappear because of the next recurring disaster. They must have decided to build the Great Pyramid and many other enormous structures to tell us that they existed. And surviving places high in the mountains as Machu Picchu. The cause of this cycle is Planet 9, which is orbiting our sun in an eccentric orbit. That planet is only shortly in the vicinity of the sun and the planets. It crosses the ecliptic planes of the planets at a very high speed and disappears into space where it slows down and makes a loop to come back thousands of years later. If you don't know this cycle, history is incomprehensible. To learn much more about the recreation of civilizations, the cycle of recurring floods, and ancient high technology, read the eBook: "Planet 9 = Nibiru". You can read it nicely on any computer, tablet or smartphone. Search for: invisible nibiru 9

    To my mind this TEDx Talk demonstrates the importance of following any leads (no matter how crazy at first they may seem) to wherever good quality questions may take us. The lengths one must go to satisfactorily answer & refine it, or to disprove it, often times show where gaps in our understanding exist. This is important because it is in these gaps where novel ideas have always existed, as they silently await our recognition of them.
    On the other hand, outright dismissal of good questions based solely on conflicting results which speak against our preconceptions highlights the foolishness of holding inflexible world views. Such a limiting bias takes one only so far. As more evidence accumulates in support of incredible claims we must be willing to entertain the possibility that our old preconceived conceptual frameworks should be put to rest, in favor of new ones.
    Anything is possible, for those bold enough to seek a deeper understanding of things. So stay curious folks. We don't know what we don't know. To say nothing at all about that which has been forgotten through the passage of time.
