Answer to Al, part 2:
That the Sumerians were well advanced in relation to other cultures of the same period is indisputable. As Wikipedia states, concerning Sumer, "It is the earliest known civilization in the world and is known as the Cradle of Civilization." Sumer dates to the 6th millenium BC, the same time period as Nabta Playa, so both sites yield evidence of people with advanced knowledge who existed long before the dynastic Egyptian period. And as I pointed out in my previous post, your Egypt's Lost Legacy and the Genesis of Civilization link in post #185 offers compelling evidence that the Sumerians were actually ancient Egyptians who had left Giza because of the cataclysmic events that occurred there. If this is so, then they likely left behind much of their previous knowledge and expertise, having to basically start over from scratch, and thus it is amazing that they advanced as quickly as they did. Without the prior knowledge that existed in their minds, they probably could not have accomplished so much. Just think of how it would be today if a cataclysmic event caused us to migrate to other regions, taking along only what we could carry on our backs, and then starting over with nothing but personal knowledge to guide us.
As I have mentioned before, the pyramid complexes of South America, as with the ones in Egypt, were laid out to mirror specific constellations at specific time periods, and the last known true alignment was at 10,500 BC, which corresponds to the end of the last ice age. If these complexes had been built later, as you suggest, then they would have been laid out to mirror the constellations at such later date, and not the alignment that existed in 10,500 BC. Now this very strongly suggests that the pyramid complexes were built either close to, or long before, 10,500 BC. Since the cataclysmic event that likely brought about the end of the ice age would have made building such pyramid complexes at that time extremely difficult, it would seem that they were built at or before an even earlier precessional astronomical alignment date - in other words, likely 26,000 years prior to 10,500 BC. And this would correspond closely to the ancient Egyptians own account of their recorded chronology. Both the ancient Egyptians, and the ancient Mayas, Incas, and Aztecs were highly advanced civilizations. Have you ever considered the models of flying machines that were discovered both in Egypt and South America?

Who can say with certainty that this is the correct time frame or sequence? Perhaps Djosers actualy was built by the dynastic Egyptians, as you suggest, while the Great Pyramid was most likely built around 36,500 BC or earlier, for the reasons I explained above. Six hundred years after Herodotus, the Roman scholar Pomponious Melas recorded in "De Situ Orbis" that, "The Egyptians pride themselves on being the most ancient peoples in the world. In their authentic annals one may read that since they have been in existence, the course of the stars has changed direction four times, and that the sun has set twice in the part of the sky where it rises today." This would equate to one and one half precession cycles, or around 39,000 years.
So once again, Al, let's drop preconceived notions that mainstream Egyptologists and contemporary scholars have fed to us, and instead concentrate on what we know the true ancients to have said, and passed on to us from the earliest times of civilization. And even then, let us consider that there may well have been several prior civilizations on Earth that were possibly even more advanced than the Egyptians or ourselves, and that they may have become largely extinct due to prior cataclysms. Scientists tell us that perhaps 8 or more ice ages have come and gone, so these thoughts are not at all unlikely or impossible.
