When I think of how advanced we are in technology, its hard to believe that even with the best technology, we would have a hard time duplicating some of what has been created thousands of years ago.
If we dig deep enough and in the right places, we could imagine numerous finds from our distant past that lay buried for eternity.
Could we find some of these amazing pieces of evidence, that there were civilizations far ahead of our present day technology?

Well, dig we do all the time. And we do make some amazing discoveries. But the finds I'm talking about are those mystery types that can't be readily explained.
You may have seen the series "Arthur C Clarks" show about ancient mysteries, and no doubt saw the segment about the crystal scull thousands of years old.
For those who haven't, the scull made of pure crystal was so perfect in the way it was created, that even today, its admitted that we would have a hard time duplicating such a piece. So who, and what type of civilization had that kind of technology thousands of years ago?

Who can deny how surprised scientist were when they uncovered another mystery.
A hermetically sealed large box with no visible ways of opening it to see it's contents.
Ex-ray was used, and to their amazement, they found that the box contained intricate workings like that of a fine watch. Everything in it was precision made. It is thought to be some form of computer. Only with todays technology could those workings be duplicated, but we are talking about thousands of years ago that this box of precision work was made. Also in the same find, they found ancient electric batteries and related technology.
So who could have possibly had the technology to do this in the first place?

Some mysteries can be explained much to the dismay of believers who want to believe something other than a explainable reason for their existence.
But for many, there is no explanation that we can come up with to fully satisfy the need to know.

Today we still ponder the thought of exactly how the pyramids were built. We speculate, but do we really know for sure?
Levitation is thought of as a magic trick, or is it in fact a reality.
All one has to do is recall the works of a frail old man who under a hundred pounds was able to move up to twenty ton blocks of stone that he used to build a stone village. Everything was carved out of huge rock to make the buildings, the furnishings and anything else that would make up his stone village.
He was ordered by authorities to relocate his
