The ancients.
There is no other name for them, because we don't know who they were. They lived on earth long before recorded history.
The ancients built the Great Pyramid, the Great Sphinx, Göbekli Tepe Ziyaret, the Bosnian pyramid complex, Stonehenge.

The ancients left megalithic stone circles, pyramids, and monuments all across the planet. They terraformed the earth, creating cryptic megapictographs best viewed from the sky.

The ancients created tumuli that stretch for miles and on which trees have not grown for thousands of years.

The true ancients are not the ancients described in history books.
The so-called ancient Greeks, ancient Romans, and ancient Pharaonic dynasties of Egypt – these cultures appeared on the human stage at most 350 generations ago, a biological and geological eyeblink, an archaeological breath.

The "ancient" Greeks, "ancient" Romans, and "ancient" Egyptians were our recent ancestors. Their sensibilities were ours.
Who, then, were the true ancients? Were their great and enduring earthworks and stoneworks monumental messages to the future? If so, whom were these messages for, and what are these messages?
