If Not, Then
A large number of the most important structures around the world, from 6,000+ years ago through current times, incorporate the same measurements and similar techniques. That is not a conspiracy theory; it is documented fact. From Giza to the Bean, from Chichen Itza to the Eternal Flame, from the Ziggurat of Ur to the Spring Temple Buddha, from Saint Peter's Basilica to the Lincoln Memorial, the common themes are present.
These precise measurements and designs pop up with frequency in architecture on at least 6 continents, and it started happening long before global travel was really a known thing. The works were revered and worshipped back then, and many of them continue to be some of the most visited sites in the world.
I find it to be a reasonable presumption, based on the evidence at hand, that such advancements in ancient times would not randomly happen simultaneously on every continent.
If such incorporation of measurement and technique did not spontaneously happen, then how did it happen?
I suppose that it is possible that there was an ancient international construction company of motivated humans that made it to six continents via boat and foot, thousands of years ago, and convinced loads of people, normally prone to be wary of or kill strangers, to devote all of their time and resources to build these magnificent buildings and monuments. But, does that really make sense?
It makes more sense to look at the common themes. It takes no more than a casual glance to see that almost all of these structure were and/or are places of worship and tribute to the gods. Additionally, the symbolism and actual stories left behind by the very civilizations and cultures that built the places, often incorporated directly into the structures, they all tell of gods that came and intervened in their lives in some way. Not other humans. Gods.
I think that this is where most folks get lost today. Ancient stories about beings coming from the stars to intervene in humanity couldn't possibly be true, right? They are just mythical tales that happened to be the only traces left behind by some of the civilizations that created them, aside from the significant structures built to worship the figures from said tales. Right?
Let me rephrase that. People, several thousands of years ago, all around the world, sprung up public works using the same math, building ideas, symbolism and origin stories, all on their own? People all over the world that did not yet have or barely had the wheel and lived in mud huts or caves decided, "Hey y'all, we should really create written language to document this awesome science fiction story that we just made up, build some crazy cool structures about it, and leave it all as the only real traces of our culture. Is someone writing this on the cave wall for me? C'mon guys. Get this cuneiformed ASAP. Get the stone tablets and start chiseling."
Yeah. I'm sure that's what happened.
Look, I'll be the first to tell you that the idea of even part of those old stories being somewhat true seems very much crazy. If taking all of those stories to be complete myth, but holding faith that the currently worshipped miracle stories of similar theme are true...well, that also does not make a lot of sense. So where does that leave us?
Even if a person wants to go down the conspiracy rabbit hole, concluding that a group or groups of people have worked together to hide important worldly information from the public and then use it to their advantage, which is a very large and relevant rabbit hole these days, that still does not answer the question of where the information came from to begin with or how the methods became so widely used before such people could have possibly tested or communicated them to other around the globe.
Math and science, which have long been used by many to try disprove the existance of a higher power, now seem to be useful tools for eliminating other possibilities and raising the chance that some of the higher power theories hold more weight. After hundreds of similar "coincidences", the theories of this all just kind of randomly happening as part of the normal evolution of things become less and less likely. Look at this not like I am telling you what to think, but rather that I'm trying to present to you some different perspectives from which to think. Thank you and be safe.
