They were made out of a single huge block of stone made to look like millions of individual blocks...DUH!!!

Actually I eat this stuff up. The last ice age wipped out (or at least hid) most all of ancient civilizations evidence; and we are only now finding walls beneith the ocean and batteris imbedded in stone to verify that we have a much more rich history going back way more than a mere 6000 years like they tell us.

Humans were genetically modern for hundreds of millennia. And yet we are to believe that only in the last 6000 years we acquired civilization? Pre-Egyptian civilization may have been very different, but there almost certainly were stone cities and agriculture and written language. Even stone buildings have trouble lasting more than 10 millennia.

Personally, I think it is a combination of the arrogance of religions (NOTHING could have come before OUR creation-date!) and human denial that our species could have risen up to civilization and then suffered civilization-crushing cataclysms in the more-distant past.
