Summary

Global megalithic structures, including the pyramids of Giza and the Bosnian Pyramid Complex, challenge conventional views on ancient technological capabilities. This study suggests that advanced geometric, astronomical, and engineering knowledge may represent either an inherited legacy or a lost cultural development. Through field investigations across Egypt, Lebanon, Peru, and Bosnia-Herzegovina, researchers analyzed precision, material manipulation, and large-scale construction techniques. Notably, the Egyptian pyramids' alignment accuracy, the transport of massive stones at Giza and Baalbek, and the Fibonacci-based astronomical correspondences in the Bosnian Pyramid Complex were examined. These findings imply that our understanding of prehistoric technologies may be incomplete, prompting a re-evaluation of ancient knowledge systems.
