Personally, I'm a believer of the writings of Matthew Riley. A good Australian kid.

His books, Seven Ancient Wonders, Six Sacred Stones and Five Greatest Warriors, dealt with the end of the world.

The world was saved, and now we live on.

Can you give me some titles/authors of the books you've read which talk about the pyramids lack of complexity? Everything you've said here goes completely against everything I've read, I'd be interested in reading some of the other side of the story.

It all could have come from something as small as a pea, and here we are living in it and discussing it, pretty amazing.
And one other point, it may not have even been the big bang that started it all, there are a number of other respectable theories on the origins of everything, the big bang is the most popular of them.
The expansion of the universe also seems to be accelerating.

Then you've got theories on multiverses.

Does make for interesting reading/research.

It does raise a good point about overpopulation though, there will be some point at which economies or infrastructure won't be able to sustain huge populations, something has to give somewhere. We are always finding new treatments and ways of living longer and curing diseases as well

None of the pyramids can accurately dated. Have you considered that the great pyramids of giza and the sphinx were built by a superior race or aliens and years later (maybe thousands) ancient man tried to copy them and did a 'half arsed' job. Turn your timeline around and then explain it.

Why is it that we almost always question our Ancestors Intelligence ?

If it weren't for the great thinker of the past and wonders of the world,
how would have this world evolved as we know it ?

Isn't what we thought in schools and Uni's relate to research and Knowledge gain in History?

2012 was Good Entertaining Movie. I'm Sure the future Generations will have Doubts and Question our Advancements and Laugh at our Theories.

Tibetan Monks are using Remote Viewing to predict the future. Between now and 2012 the world super powers will continue to engage in regional wars. Terrorism and covert war will be the main problem. In world politics something will happen in and around 2010. At that time the world powers will threaten to destroy each other. Between 2010 and 2012, the whole world will get polarized and prepare for the ultimate dooms day. Heavy political maneuvers and negotiations will take place with little progress. In 2012, the world will start plunging into a total destructive nuclear war. And at that time something remarkable will happen, says, Buddhist monk of Tibet. Supernatural divine powers will intervene. The destiny of the world is not to self-destruct at this time. Scientific interpretation of the monks’ statements makes it evident that the Extra Terrestrial powers are watching us every step of the way. They will intervene in 2012 and save the world from self-destruction.
2010, if nothing significant happens we can bust this theory.
