  In responce to this question, Robert:

What is your definition of "advanced technology" when talking about the past sungate?

Do you mean:

A. Improved technology from the period

B. The kind of technology that we use today

C. More advanced than our technology

I'm caught between B & C, LOL.    Some of it was definitely more advanced, some the same, and other technology just way different than what we use.  Take for instance Ian Sanderson's work on what has been labeled "zoomorphic gold bugs"  (There's a thread here on it somewhere that I posted).  When it was discovered, airplanes weren't even invented yet.  But if you look at it with modern eyes, it has delta jet wings and an aileron, (which nothing in nature exhibits).  It’s obviously a small model of an ancient type of jet plane.  But Sanderson had an aeronautical engineer look at it without telling him what it was.  And he came up with that it’s a design for something that we haven’t built yet.  He thought it was a plane that was designed to leave the atmosphere, enter into space, and then re-enter the atmosphere and land.  So, (assuming that it was), the technology was different.  There is evidence of ancient atomic wars, (so this falls under “B”), and this is the kind of technology we have rediscovered.  And according to physics, like Edgar Cayce, they powered their flying vehicles with energy that was beamed to the crafts wirelessly, which is the kind of technology that we could have been using if our greedy capitalists hadn’t pulled the plug on Tesla.
