Pyramids of Giza and Orion's belt alignment true?

With how fast the earth's crust is able is recycle itself as well the bad luck with objects crashing into it leading to catastrophic results, Atlantis is most likely lost to history because of nature.
If not for some plain old good luck, the Mayan pyramids might have been lost forever in the overgrown forests.

Or, you know, because it never existed.
Certainly not in the form(s) that most people talking about it envision.

Confirmed. We live in the matrix.

It probably got beamed up by aliens.

Trees growing on something is a bit different than tectonic action. Atlantis is lost to history in the same way westeros and middle Earth are.

I thought it wasn't that the pyramids placement lined up with Orion's belt, but rather those narrow shafts in each pyramid points to each star of OB if you were to look up what the star map would have looked like back then....?

So, since it's not true, what does that mean for the rest of your romanticized idea?
Grain silos man. A brain surgeon told me

Ancient aliens people do in fact believe this.
Grain silo, resting place for a pharoah, out of commission stargate, we'll never really know.
That's just plain silly.

Sure, and Stargate is based on true historical events.
Yep, Stargate is based on Mcgyver's story , the legendary adventurer from Vietnam war.

People who are rich, power hungry and feel like gods can do the weirdest shit with their resources.
We see that even now.
well technically...they were definitely giant. and I wouldn't be surprised to find there was some piezoelectric or some kind of static electricity going on as well.

Old cultures studied the stars , specially the Mayans and they left us spectacles like this
The pyramid consists of a series of square terraces with stairways up each of the four sides to the temple on top. Sculptures of plumed serpents run down the sides of the northern balustrade. During the spring and autumn equinoxes, the late afternoon sun strikes off the northwest corner of the pyramid and casts a series of triangular shadows against the northwest balustrade, creating the illusion of a feathered serpent "crawling" down the pyramid.

Very interesting. That carving on the wall does look like a battery of some sort.

I want to go to Chichen Itza. Went to Teotihuacan while in Mexico City last year or the year before and it was really incredible.

Chichén Itzá is a little more misterious specially if you read about Mayans extrange vanish. Also Palenque is a nice place but Chichén Itzá location is better since you are near Merida a great colonial city and Cancun , Rivera Maya.

That works.
Have you ever considered that if you're going through the effort of doing elaborate interior painting, you're likely wiping off any soot?
Atlantis was first mentioned in Plato's allegories. There are no historical records of Atlantis, even though in Plato's stories Athens went to war against Atlantis. So did all the Greeks besides Plato suffer a collective bout of amnesia, or was Plato just making up a fictional nation for his allegory? An allegory that already contradicts reality by juxtaposing thinkers from different time periods?
It's bizarre that people still believe Atlantis existed. It's like believing the Galactic Empire from Star Wars was real.
When civilizations are lost to cataclysms, which is incredibly rare, the evidence of those civilizations doesn't just disappear. And the Atlantis described by Plato was a wide-reaching empire that conquered and enslaved large parts of the Mediterranean. That's a pretty damn big footprint that wouldn't just vanish without a trace.

I believe in Atlantis as in a lost advanced culture we have no idea about that got bodied by nature but not an actual place called Atlantis with Atlanteans running around.
This seems pretty unlikely. Advanced civilizations generally don't vanish entirely, and when they do, it's because of us humans deliberately erasing history. Natural immediate cataclysms certainly don't do the trick because they're very localized in scale.
Take Santorini. It's often used as a "possible Atlantis" by the fringe because of the Thera volcanic eruption that happened there. But while the Minoan settlement on Santorini was certainly destroyed, Minoan civilization continued for centuries outside of Santorini.

they do say that the ones who lived pre-Thera and the ones who came back after were like night and day in terms of advancement.
