We are descended from an ancient civilization which built giant megalithic structures that still defy our understanding today (muon detectors find hidden chambers within the great pyramid we still can’t access).   The ancients did not excavate and haul around giant rocks for the fun of it, they had a purpose, and I propose that purpose was gardening.  In other words, using materials and technology to grow and nurture organisms which benefit us- see The Botany of Desire by Michael Pollan.

It looks to me as if entire mountains such as at Machu Picchu, were sculpted into colossal, south facing, gardens.  These terraced, crystalline stadiums were probably landscaped with strikingly beautiful, and economically beneficial organisms such as lavender and rosemary grown in intricate patterns like the nasca lines.  These colossal gardens could also have provided stunning vistas for sight seeing tourists orbiting the Earth on pyramid powered magic carpets Walt Disney style (its a small world after all)…Arthur C. Clark pointed out that any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.

Biochemicals

The ancients could have harvested biomass at a tremendous rate, and using advanced nurturing techniques produced and over abundance of sugar cane and other sugary plants like beets to  make (lots of) ethanol; olives and other oil rich plants along with algae and cyanobacteria to make biocrude(see pic) processes with advanced catalytic cracking techniques like those used by today’s petroleum industry, to produce an over abundance of chemical resources; the horn of plenty in a global Garden of Eded(see biofuelsdigest.com).

Grow your own

Gardens not only grow food and other useful resources like the Lufa sponge, they alslo provide a place to escape the real world while allowing each of us to help improve it a little bit- if everyone had a garden this would be a global Garden of Eden.   My gardens have also been a place to try to reuse and repurpose materials (or places like buildings- see last pic), materials which would otherwise be “wasted” and sent to the landfill for future generations to deal with,  the ancients did not leave megalithic landfills, they left megalithic planter boxes made for gardening the Earth.
