Psychedelic-Surrealist Artist - have also been fascinated with the huge, stone ruins that are found around the planet. Here in the USA, there are a number of such relics of a bygone civilization in Montana. You can see parts of them at:

Boogieman - your skepticism is noted and you are welcome to your opinion. The plethora of evidence that shows widespread use of massive, shaped stones raises serious questions about the accepted storyline of current anthropology, IMHO.

“The plethora of evidence that shows widespread use of massive, shaped stones”??
What evidence?

I’m not skeptical necessarily on the general idea of widespread megalithic monuments being evidence of a widespread civilization that is unrecognized, or early contact between such civilizations. I’m just specifically skeptical of Hancock’s claims based on my observation of his poor methodology that I’ve shown one example of here.

One interesting phenomenon that I’ve been looking at recently that is tangentially connected to the megalithic “mystery” but isn’t too well known is the phenomenon of “cart ruts”. These are parallel channels worn (or perhaps cut) into the bedrock that appear in many far flung locations that are also associated with megalith builders. The greatest number are found on the isle of Malta, but they are also found on other Mediterranean islands, in Anatolia, the Levant, in Spain, Portugal, North Africa, and even the Azores islands in the mid Atlantic and in China. All associated with locations that have megalithic structures and the best hypothesis seems to be that the were made by either wheeled carts or sledges carrying loads of heavy rock from quarries at these locations. Something perhaps worth looking into if you are interested in these kinds of theories:
