ancient civilisations - all in contact with each other?
were all the ancient civilisations all in contact with each other sharing knowledge and skills? was it just the europeans or did we have contact with the other cultures around the earth?
at the same times around the world there seems to be similar buildings and beliefs. from pyramids to other building techniques
in europe i see no problem with the whole of europe being in contact with each other, it would be silly to think that was not the case. as long as you see the evidence that is gather daily and understand how old humans are. as long as we have been on this earth for a long time then the "spread" of knowledge has no issue.
it would be the lack of common ideas/knowldge that would show we are not that old
the pyramid buildings ire the classic example but there are others, are the round towers of ireland one of these?
below are 2 examples of strange buildings that are worlds apart. the round towers of ireland and one of the Cheomseongdae in korea. if they dont look similar then maybe the answer is at the bottom of the page.
the round towers of ireland
round towers of ireland (Kilmacduagh)
the round towers of ireland are very distinct old buildings, very tall and narrow rounded towers built to a specific design. most have few windows and all have the doorway above ground height, some over 4 meters from the ground. all were found with soil/earth in their base, filling the lower part.
the official puzzled explanation is that they were watch towers or bolt holes or .... not really sure. as it makes no sense to have a raised entrance and fill them with soil. why not just build them a bit wider if it was to help with the buildings stability? they were designed with a very distinct purpose but what was it?
"It is remarkable how little the main dimensions vary. In the great majority of towers the circumference at the base lies between 14 meters and 17 meters and the thickness of the wall at the lowest point at which it can be measured varies from 0.9 meters to 1.4 meters. Doorways, windows, storey heights and diameters also follow clearly defined patterns, and we may well conclude that most of the towers were the work of teams of builders who moved from one monastery to another using standard designs." Barrow goes on to say that: "Most doorways are raised 1.5 meters to 4.5 meters above the ground....but it is possible that the stability of the tower had as much to do with the door heights. The higher you could build before making an opening in the wall the stronger the base would be. Very often the towers were filled in, even as high as the doorways."

why do irelands round towers have raised doorways/entrances?
another alternative explanation is that they were energy buildings with the different levels of soil in them used to tune each building. the irish round towers being built on a grid, you would suspect something to do with Ley Lines
The principles used in construction of the towers is always the same: two walls of block and mortar construction are built a few feet from one another and the space between is filled in with a core of rock rubble.

this would help it act as a natural "electrical component"

were irelands round towers energy buildings/components?
the very good article on the
Round Towers of Ireland quoted in this post mentions ideas on what and how the energy was created/used. the idea that it was used by monks or for religous purposes should not be a surprise or even a shock. after all churches are created with a specific energy - peace, contemplation, religous energy. you dont find many churches designed to be very noisy. most of the old churches were built on the old religions sacred sites, energy spots.

the mystery of irelands round towers and the doorway entrance
if cultures around europe and the world were in contact with each other there might be other examples of these. of course they may have existed but been destroyed in the years since. they would all vary depending on local building techniques/ideas and developments but they should have similar traits.
Cheomseongdae (Chomsongdae) - Korea
Silla's Chomsongdae in korea - astronomy or power building?
Cheomseongdae (Chomsongdae) in Korea is a strange round tower. it has its doorway halfway up the building and its bottom half is filled with soil. that is similar to irelands round towers although Chomsongdae is much shorter and fatter. the official version is that it is an astronomy tower.

Cheomseongdae (Chomsongdae) tower entrance by ladder
when you read the "wiki" facts that are copied by everyone there seems little doubt as to what Cheomseongdae was built and used for. any doubt is quickly rebutted. if you find other
detailed articles on Chomsongdae they certainly have facts and historical mentions of it that cast doubt on the official accepted version.
The Cheomseongdae is the oldest surviving observatory in East Asia, though some claim that Cheomseongdae was not suitable for astronomical observation. Others posit that it was used for astrology rather than astronomy, though during that era there was little differentiation between the two.

Cheomseongdae (Chomsongdae) with soil/earth inside
similar to the irish round towers
An opening is constructed half way up the structure. The astromomer is thought to have gained entry into the tower through the opening by climbing a ladder. Today, dirt fills the tower to the opening level. Archeologists believe that the star gazer reached the top of the structer by way of another ladder inside.
Cheomseongdae | newworldencyclopedia.org
Korean historical records mention at least three astronomical observatories with the name "Cheomseongdae." The first was located in Pyeongyang, then the capital of the Goguryeo kingdom. According to the Sejong sillok (Annals of King Sejong): "Next to a lotus pond, there is a cheomseongdae (observatory)." Unfortunately, the structure no longer remains. The second is Silla's Cheomseongdae, which is the subject of this article. The last is Goryeo's cheomseongdae which survived even the Korean War. It is well preserved and still stands at the outskirts of Gaeseong, North Korea....
Cheomseongdae also has interesting features on the inside. First, the main body is completely filled with dirt up to the 12th layer, where the square entrance begins. No one has yet tried digging this out. Above the 12th layer, the main body is hollow. The stones on the inside of the body differ in size, making the surface uneven. Therefore, with a little caution, it is possible to use these stones to climb up to the top. At the 26th layer, there is a flat slab covering the eastern half of the space inside the body. The slab is slightly thinner than the stones of the 27th layer.

There is a square opening facing due south between the 13th and 15th layers of the granite stones. The hole is the old entrance, and it points south.

Cheomseongdae and irelands round towers - variations on a theme?

variation on a theme - irelands round tower and Cheomseongdae
was Cheomseongdae a variation of the irish round towers? does it show common knowledge spread throughout the world? does it show we, as a "civilised" people are much older than the official people want us to believe.
are there other variations or versions around there world?
although Cheomseongdae and the irish round towers do not look alike what happens if they were designed differently. either because korea has earthquakes, it was designed for a different frequency/effect/energy or the knowledge had advanced by the time the other one was built. was only the bottom section needed or used in korea or is the irish version a more powerful/complete design?

Callahan discusses research which indicates that the round towers may have been designed, constructed and utilized as huge resonant systems for collecting and storing meter-long wavelengths of magnetic and electromagnetic energy coming from the earth and skies. Based on fascinating studies of the forms of insect antenna and their capacity to resonate to micrometer-long electromagnetic waves, Professor Callahan suggests that the Irish round towers (and similarly shaped religious structures throughout the ancient world) were human-made antenna which collected subtle magnetic radiation from the sun and passed it on to monks meditating in the tower and plants growing around the tower's base.
"At every tower we measured there was a direct correlation between tower door height and the strongest waves.....That the highly amplified waves occur in the meditative and electrical anesthesia portion of the electromagnetic spectrum is of utmost significance. In 1963, G. Walter researched brain EEG waves from 0.5 to 3 Hz (Delta region) and found anti-infectious effects."
