I have been watching lately many YouTube videos on megalithic structures. I am talking about the most ancient stonework in South America where the stones are cut and fit almost perfectly. These stones have many common features. They are cut to fit almost perfectly. They are all beveled at their interfaces. Many of them have a couple of knobs at the bottom edge or a couple of indentations.
These same exact features appear in stones in Egypt and elsewhere in the east. This seems to be pretty solid evidence, considering that we don’t know how to cut stones like that now, that a megalithic civilization was in the western and eastern hemisphere about the same time.

Also the Egyptian museum is full of stone vases that would be nearly impossible to make even today. These vases look like they were turned on a lathe and many are made of some of the hardest stone there is. There’s supposed to be an extremely small one made out of obsidian with walls around .3 inches thick. That would be impossible to make today without EXTREME difficulty and the best possible tooling available, maybe not even then. They were found under an older pyramid, exclusively as far as I know.

All of this seems to point to the fact that there was some kind of civilization that spanned the hemispheres before all the others that we know of.
Is archaeology ignoring this evidence by attributing all of this impossible stonework to Egyptians or Aztecs or Sumerians?
