So you believe in the aliens theory of building the pyramid grin

Mechanical engineers in the house, can you couple this and make it run?

Yes with the right tools in place. If our steel mills were working optimally, we are supposed to be producing these components and by now be producing our own cars from the scratch.

Lmao. People will get lost oo. Or else they use GPS sha oo. Cos once you miss you exit ehn, you fit dey drive like 10miles before you see where you go make a detour. Maybe I'm exaggerating sha grin

Of course I don't believe in the alien theory. That's pure bullshit. I was asking gatiano if he has the answers to the questions he posed in his post.

I've got the answers, but the answers about who the builders were will be debated till the end of this era/civilization by those who do not question reality.
After the pyramids were built, A sphinx was made in the image of a lion and the head of The Blackman, saying "I'M THE KING THAT WAS AND THAT WILL FOREVER BE". And then He went to sleep.

While i was in the university, I had a cat. This cat will just stare at me while i eat like every other cat. Most times, I give it some food, sometimes it eats it and sometimes it doesn't. Sometimes it ignores food, cats are smart, they may ignore food just so that you might add more. anyways, I started to watch this cat, This cat excretes, then it comes back over and over again to check its excrements. And I am like "well, it is just an animals attitude to go back to its shiiit. However, I couldn't help but to watch it closely with its constant checking out of its shiiit. It just turned out that based on the type of excrement this cat passed, would determine its next meal. If its excrements were watery, it won't eat any soft or jelly food atall. And it checks its shiiit so frequently.

My point is if a cat can do such just to keep itself in perfect health as it can be, Then what is wrong with the Black people?
There is nothing wrong with us. We "were" not here in the last 4000 years to build, We were and are here to study. We have always been studying and building great, wonderful, magnificent civilizations and MORE. And We studied excellently. What the ignorants woooow so much is so sub-standard to us.

Nice job OP...guess you are an engineer too.
I can attempt coupling that but may not do a perfect job. I am specialized in rotating equipments.

Aliens. Maybe not the onion face, big eye ones we've been used to seeing on tv, but aliens madeto suit our eenvironment, with much higher intellectual makeup.

I think we are also aliens of some sort. We have been made to suit our environment, a dilute version of the original aliens.

We will only find this to be true when we've gotten to the intellectual and exploratory level where we can find out.

Pls note that a simple definition of an alien is someone or something that is foreign or did not originate from a particular place.

God is an alien to earth. Man is an alien to the moon or mars. If we start a civilization on mars, and after some million years generations after start calling us gods; it won't be out of place would it?

By the way, good job sile12

I'm having mixed feelings over these marvellous pieces of forward thinking.

On the one hand, I appreciate them and the folks who thought them through. On the other hand, I'm so saddened as to why we're so left behind. Something is wrong somewhere!

We have the same brain cells with these White folks. We were ably created by the same God ( leave the atheists alone). We have all it takes to achieve these technological fits.

We can't overemphasise the role science and technology plays in the standard of living of a people.

Miserable Africa! We're yet to fix even the most basic needs of our people.

Where did we get it wrong?

I guess it's not too late.
We got it wrong the moment Nigeria discovered oil and decided to let her industries die

We got it wrong the moment we decided to make the petroleum sector more lucrative

We got it wrong the moment Nigeria decided to ignore the talents we had during the civil war instead of absorbing them like Americans did to the Germans

We got it wrong when our leaders (executive and legislative) decided to start sending their kids outside the country instead of passing bills that will make the educational sector grow despite most attending schools for free.

We got it wrong the moment we abandoned the vocational sector.

We got it wrong the moment we decided to worship those with questionable source of wealth and ignore those adding meaning to our lives. . .

I have been to few learning institutions around, in whatever language they speak, Black people always excel so greatly if not the best in most cases. What then happened to such minds that We can't make a good computer keyboard, When the person who create the software program upon which internet lies is a Blackman, even the typewriter was invented by a Blackman.

We are here to study the recessive part of ourselves which we have done effectively well 1000%. Kudos to the Blackman who made it be. We are know the characteristic of the recessive traits, even a baby newly concieved who has grown with the ability to feel and react to stimuli and impulses to has learnt a lot about the recessive trait which the most brilliant, most intelligent of the other races will never understand fully.

If for example the Black people must have stable electricity, Then it must be 100% done our own way. Nothing must be copied from anybody, We had electricity which was the cleanest and purest. We will have to do that again. And for that to ever happen, european, japanese, chinese, indian, arab mentality must not be found in our minds. not one atom of it. What we needed to learn from them, we have. Which is evil.

Show me one thing that Black people have learnt from oother races besides evil? evil is a recessive character, when a dominant trait learns it, He becomes 2 to 7 times more evil.
So name me on good we learnt.
And How many Black people are there in the world.

I do not mean to derail the tread, if i did atall. woooooooowing other people's works and deeds without understanding how it works kills the soul.

However, The op did a nice thing posting such here. instead of wooooowing and feeling sorry for ourselves, How did they lift those cranes is what we should be asking ourselves and how to build our own without depending on the government because their mentality is everything but theirs.

Sorry bro, I don't understand correlation between seeing " things the way they are" and building a bigger invention

Im aspiring to study engineering but I really dont want to study here. Iv never seen any tangible thing nigerian engineers have produced. They just pass out and work in oil companies but I'd really like to practise what I read.

Maybe you can tell me more about nigerian universities?

Allow me to present to you the Gustav Gun . The largest gun ever built.

When Hitler needed to break the French Maignot line (a concrete fortified barrier holding him from Western Europe) he had his engineers build this 4-story beast. It was 20 feet wide, 140 feet long, weighed a massive 1344 tons & required a 500 man crew.

It could fire a 7 tonne shell and hit a target 30 miles away.

If you really want to know and practice engineering, I'd advise you to go to the polytechnic, I suggest AFIT Kaduna.
