I prefer to think of this as a community BBQ.
Arcbird*So look up von daniken and tarzan. Learn something new.
I've no ideá who von Däniken is and Tarzan I barely know anything about, look up the sites yourself, it's pretty obvious.
With no evidence cited, I cannot refute the conclusions. It is, however, strange to me that almost everything archeologists find is ceremonial, religious, fetish, or sacrificial.These were the only things usually built or carved from stone. Although I think things such as mounds were more for comfort than religion, to avoid flies and catch the breeze.

'if there were similar 'technologies' around at the time how were they communicated to other lands?It is called diplomacy. Ancient Leaders found that, in order to conquer the world, they had to begin working together to fight the true enemies of rulers everywhere: the people. The people, whose numbers would always grow faster than the means they had of supporting themselves, and then blame their rulers for their misery who were powerless to prevent it.
was similar the later Egyptian which suggests that communication wasn't very fast. Yet some artifacts from cultures much further distant suggest otherwise.How did the conquistadors communicate with mesoamericans? How did Xian missionaries communicate with indigenes around the world?
What WAS possible then was to be taught by those (Sumerians for example) who could teach. I'm suggesting that megolithic and similar structures were appearing almost simultaneously far and wide yet there wasn't an adequate MEANS of long distance communication.By simultaneously you mean over the course of a generation or 2, a few 100 yrs, a millennium or so. Plenty of time for Emissaries to travel around the world and back, by land or sea. The world is a lot smaller than we were taught.
generations to build and that would need some type language and maths so that one generation could pass 'it on'.A Priesthood can last for an indefinite period of time, preserving traditions and spreading the good Word to rulers everywhere.
there was little or no adaequate language to do this. I am saying that we are missing an important 'link.If you think that people have to share a common language in order to communicate, you're obviously wrong. Translators can be educated in a matter of weeks. Cultures have been contacting, interacting, trading with one another forever.
perhaps 10's of thousands of years yet there is no evidence of their designs eleswhere, are unique to that part of the world. There is no evidence of a language that predates Sumerian (6000yrs BC). In other words apart from pictures there was NO language to teach.?? Are you saying that people didnt communicate verbally before then? People have been speaking for at least 100k years.
it seems to me that there was almost a 'competition' going on.There was indeed competition going on, but it was over resources. Mankind had produced for itself a state of constant overpopulation, by systematically eliminating those natural attritive elements which had kept its numbers in check. Mans principal enemy thus became the tribe next door.
So someone constucts a few stones to represent somethingPeople have been building things for defense against the elements, animals, and that other tribe you are talking about, for a long time.
Developing a Language to tell another tribe to 'push off' was hardly necessary when it was quicker to bash them with a well designed club, very effective in telling them they weren't welcome!Yeah but the effort of telling them required planning, scheming, anticipating their movements, and coordinating the attack among many participants. This is direct evidence of verbal communication.
4-5000 years communities of 5000 people plus ,with writing an other skills were present in Europe yet wasn't 'communicated' to Britain (just over the water) until much later.Sorry I don't know what you're trying to say. You have links or something?
