Which only goes to sow how naive you are regarding the nature of aging civilizations. Where are the clothes, food, inscriptions, depictions, burials, language, unites of measurements, soures of power, etc., of those who built Stonehenge, or who manufacturered all those 1600 ton blocks at Baalbek, or Gobekli, the Nazca lines, the bizarre stonework in the Andes, all those pyramids in China, etc.? It's ludicrous to imply that the lack of such evidence is proof of the lack of such a civilization when all that stonework screams of its existence.

The reason that it's so unlikely that the Dynastics did that stonework is not just because there's lack of evidence they did that work, it's that there is a lack of evidence they did that work despite the fact that there is so much other evidence from that era about virtually every aspect of dynastic life, right down to personal graffiti, bean counts, cattle counts, business contracts, money owed, decrees made by local politicians, etc., etc., etc. Yet not even a mention of that work by a single eyewitness narrative.

Funny how you don't consider it the least bit odd that there is not a single shred of artifact in any tomb of any carpenter, mason, designer, quarry worker or supervisor, vizier, architect, etc. indicating any industrial strength tools and methods they could bring with them into the afterlife. We see boats, beds, tables, cabinets, statues, games, pottery, stone vessles, and a host of other objects to be taken to the afterlife, but not a blessed thing related to achieve that immense body of stonework, even though the stonework represents what is arguably not only their greatest accomplishment but also the largest category of ancient artifacts left behind in that region.
