I appreciate the time and effort that Clive (and you) take in making your cases.

But, over the years, I've come the conclusion that debating such things with those of the ortho persuasion is similar to the old Abbot and Costello "Who's on First" routine (a reference lost on the British but hopefully not to the Canadians).

The ortho arugment is based on the assumption that any intent in those structures would be shown in some surviving texts. I don't know why they come to such conlcusions.

As I've posted over the years, the layout and location of US Interstate highways was often determined by the location of property owned by influential real estate speculators. Yet, the official documents will only cite engineering and environmental reasons for the routing of the highway.

If all that was left of our texts in 10,000 years were partial copies of the Bible or the Koran, surely the orthos of that future generation would conlude that any and all extant structures must have only had religious significance. The surviving texts make no mention of 22/7, phi, orbits, etc so we can't assume that people of the 20th century knew such things.

Some ortho of that future would no doubt say that the nuclear plant cooling towers were connected to baptismal rituals because they contained water.

To be sure, I'm not saying ancient astronauts visited earth or that there was some Aryan lost civlization responsible for all ancient structures. Simply saying that perhaps the ancients did know about precession, pi, and phi even though the existing texts don't so mention.
