We have taken the wrong path

Now. This may or not be a little early to broach the subject that I am about to.
BUT. Those that know me from Loveshy.com, will understand that I never do things except in my own manner.
A few years ago, I read a book called 'From Atlantis to the Sphinx' By Colin Wilson.
Now. Mention the 'A' word to your average archeologist, and they will blow a major fuse. Captain Nemo. Underwater cities. Fish men. Martians and christ knows what all.
The fact remains, that across the entire world, there are mysteries. For example, we are asked to belive that pyramids were built in ancient Egypt, by people who had NO modern tools, NO pulleys or mechanical aids, and NO computers - which would have been needed to calculate the very precise alignments that such sites demonstrate.
The central thrust of Colin Wilson's book is this; not only were our ancestors different from us in terms of culture...but they were also VASTLY different to us on a mental and spiritual level.
At the very core of their civilsations...was the concept of Co-operation. NOT our core values of 'winners' and 'losers'.
I think this is the answer. I think this is where mankind has gone so badly wrong.
New age crap? Maybe. Could YOU build a pyramid the size of the ones at Giza? Could YOU build walls with stones laid so tightly together that not even a knife blade can get between them?
These people could.
I am regular vistor to the fantastic sites of Stonehenge and Avebury. I KNOW that they are more than just stones.
