I guess they didn't create humanity. But they taught the Indians to build flying machines, provided little puny humans with the ability to levitate giant stones around, and also flew Moses and Gilgamesh all over the hizzouse upstairs. What else did they do?
Come on, Tee. There's plenty of physical evidence. Let's get down to brass tacks. Bronze tacks? Gold tacks?
Holy generic OP, batman. Any other details you want to discuss? LOL. It's more realistic than Christianity at least, but that isn't really saying much. Maybe it happened, maybe it didn't. Maybe the ancient folks just had really good imaginations.
If ancient aliens could find Earth, something apparently modern aliens can't, why couldn't ancient earthlings be highly advanced?
Who says they're not just avoiding Earth right now as we evolve as they seed life on another planet? I absolutely believe there have been past advanced human civilizations on Earth that have been nearly wiped out due to a catastrophic event and humans have had to start again.
Technology has been booming since the end of the Civil War really. We basically went from candle light to Google Glass in 140 years which is impressive.
It was actually just a response to Royal Tee for a comment from another thread. I figured he could expound upon the mountain of evidence about ancient aliens he was talking about. I also think that Christianity and the Bible speak more to me about the possibility that mankind benefited from some otherworldly super-race than they do about some beneficent bearded man sitting on a cloud and smiling down on man and waiting for just the right time to beat the devil in a game they has only one possible ending.
There are theorized possible UFO sightings going back to the beginning of recorded time, including the Revolutionary War. Not sure about the Civil War. It depends on how many drugs and how crazy people were back then and how you want to interpret certain accounts. They would have seen a UFO as something more culturally relevant than a flying disc, because at the time, flight was limited to birds and clouds. Although at the time, their clouds didn't go in a straight line and weren't filled with nanoparticles.
I would actually credit that tech boom to Operation Paperclip. Although you would have to wonder just how the fuck Nazi Germany became some kind of technology super power all by themselves.
I agree with this take on Christianity & The Bible. Hell, The Ark sounds like some type of technology either alien or left over from a prior advanced human culture. Like you said it makes more sense to believe another advanced species than a cloud man who doesn't want us having sex before marriage.
