Are we really smarter then the ancients?

Alright this will be a long one, but it will be very interesting and worth reading. I would love all information and even arguments too, because it will help further my understanding, hopefully yours as well, of history.

So this is the basic premise, I truly don't believe we were barely pulling together society and were technologically inept, really ever; well if we were cavemen it was much longer back then we think. In fact I believe society is much more technologically inept now, then thousands and thousands of years ago. So much so, I believe humanity even traveled to the stars, and due to time/space issues, evolved humans to an alien look. Now there's a lot here so here me out.

The basis of this idea to me, started from the pyramids and me trying to understand them. I truly don't think they started out as tombs as everyone seems to think now. I believe, that they were found by who we understand as the Egyptians and then were taken over and used as tombs. I believe the original "Egyptians" built the pyramids as a "magic generator". To harness electricity using a similar method as Tesla discovered, and use it in the air and power anything and everything. Now the evidence and understanding behind this, is actually out there I've found and wonder if Tesla even took inspiration from the Egyptians. It makes sense to me though, that a civilization that dissapeared, would have it's remnants taken over. Although I don't really think it's a different civilization that took over. Just remnants of the original.

Now let's talk about Atlantis, I know everyone loves to think of it as a myth, a story on even perfect civilizations being toppled by nature. However, why would we take Herodotus, the father of history, as a story teller? Plato has said it was a story passed on from his great grandfather Herodotus, who went to Egypt, in a part now washed away by the Nile, and was told that Egypt, is children to Atlantis and told him the story as was inscribed on their walls. So again, why do we look at the story as myth? I personally believe Atlantis did exist, and was the Pinnacle of ancient humans. But some event lost to time, caused them to become landlocked and wiped out. I personally believe that this empire was building for maybe millenia before history understands, and the pyramid was the Pinnacle of the empire, and was a status symbol and probably more. We find pyramids all around the world, most of them just thought as tombs. Which in many regards many of them probably were, with such a status symbol as a magic generator could be, being buried in one probably would be a great honor, especially to those that found them and took them as their own. However the main pyramid in Giza is significantly non tomb like and I really have to say that it's much more then a tomb.

This part here is a bit sketchy, mostly because timelines make no sense. However if you were to take a map of pangea and all known pyramids, and put them together, it looks like an outward advancement, basically a near circle. An empire. I feel the oceans we have now we're rivers that became larger and larger, and that most the world was using these shorter width wise water channels to cross and explore more easily. The idea here just makes sense to me, except that pangea supposedly turned the Atlantic into an ocean tens of thousands of years ago if not much longer ago. But maybe, just maybe, that's just how old humanity really is.

Which got me wondering more and more about ancient history, more specifically religion. I personally believe, that religion should be more looked at as history, and pieced together through the separate religions, to find the truth of our past. A bit why I want to make this post, to get as many varying outputs as I could. Where I'm getting here, is that specifically Hinduism, there are hints to something insane that we are all missing out here. Basically my idea here, which maybe more ridiculous to many, is that most all of "gods, demons, angels, mythological beings, etc" in some way or another, were humans with access to such insanely advanced technology, they basically were gods in their own right. Almost like how marvel treats the Norse mythology. That they formed the world and legends we know and heard about, but treat as purely crazy and false. Maybe in our modern world, but so many things in history point to me that we are much behind what we were at one point.

Well I guess this is about all of it, and I'm sure I could add onto this however it is plenty long enough. I'll try my best to comment on all replies, however I'm only a person with so much time, and that's only if I get enough people on this to respond too lol. I just really feel though, our history has been buried, and we are to willing to hush away "absurd" ideas, because we are being too close minded. I truly hope we can help each other find some truth if you've read this far. Thank you.

Edit: some of the reactions to the original typo were pretty perfect the first time I posted it lol, so I am keeping it up! Especially since grammar has very little to do with overall intelligence! Also I have posted this years ago. But I would love to hear what people have to say this time. And I could definitely add, but I won't lol. I'll keep it for the comments, it's long enough as is xD. Let the debates begin!
