Hey!!! I already corrected her on that. Be fricking nice.
Of all the people on here who disagree with me (apparently quite a few), you are always not mean about it and I appreciate it.
However, I still think I'm right

But, if you read my other post, I assume that if alien cultures have gotten as far as they have, tey had to learn how not to destroy each other.
Or they've gotten really competent on coming together to destroy everyone else. A hive like mindset is incredibly feasible for an advanced civilization, to where they look at anyone outside the hive as an enemy. It would make them even without weaponry to be far more competent than any human army in history. A hive like civilization (which is a likely scenario in the near future for our own species) could either seek to assimilate you or destroy you. Anyone confident aliens can't and won't destroy us is just naive.

I too always bought into the Chariots of the Gods theory.
There is some unexplained things done by people without technology that are hard to do today.

Antikythera Mechanism
quote:
After several years of studying the mechanism and Babylonian records of eclipses, the collaborators have pinpointed the date when the mechanism was timed to begin—205 B.C. This suggests the mechanism is 50–100 years older than most researchers in the field have thought.
The new work fills a gap in ancient scientific history by indicating that the Greeks were able to predict eclipses and engineer a highly complex machine—sometimes called the world's first computer—at an earlier stage than believed.
There is NO way the Greeks came up with this mechanism in 205 BC. Two theories, one of which MUST be true: They had outside help, e.g. ancient aliens or there is a highly sophisticated lost civilization that we have somehow not been able to find. I discount the latter.
ETA: I'm glad to see some sensible people on this thread re: AA.

And, since these alien structures are many thousand years old, that does confirm ancient aliens (though not necessarily here, but that is a ton of proof).

Did the aliens who likely assisted in the construction of pyramids and other megoliths in the New World "exterminate" anyone? No.
I think you're my new favorite poster, alter or not.

I hold the belief that modern man isn't as intelligent as it likes to believe. Ancient man was able to accomplish more than they're given credit for through techniques simply lost through time. The Roman steam engine is an example of this.

Well they didn't have the internet and TV and smartphones to distract them.

Gobekli Tepe was built before humans knew how to grow food.
quote:
Each T-shaped pillar varies between 40 to 60 tonnes, leaving us scratching our heads as to how on earth they accomplished such a monumental feat. In a time when even simple hand tools were hard to come by, how did they get these stone blocks there, and how did they erect them? With no settlement or society to speak of, with farming still a far cry away, in a world of only roaming hunter-gatherers, the complexity and developed blueprints of these temples represented another enigma for archeologists. Do we have to change our vision of how and when civilized human history began?

Yeah, you have to look at the people who concoct these theories. They're usually arrogant know-it-all's, i.e. heather.

There's a pretty large problem with the term "Civilization," here though. If you really mean it, you are taking that completely on faith.
Case in point, there's a big, big difference between "life," and "intelligent life," that these discussions often skirt.
Agreed.
I think the argument that we are the only intelligent life in the universe is just as likely as the idea that we are not. Sure, mathematically, there should be (key words) life throughout the galaxies and the universe, but that doesn't mean there is. For all we know, maybe our universe is made up ot lots andd lots of microbial life, and that's about it...and maybe WE are the anomaly, the outlier.
It's all incredibly interesting shite when you stop and really think about it. And I'm still torn on what I believe to be true and what I'm not sure about. For example, IIRC, OML truly believes in multi-plane existence and multiverse theory, I don't think I buy into that just yet. But even still, it's completely fascinating stuff to me.
quote:
But we're still talking about little proof except the scant belief that water is out there which offers the possibility of life only, and even then, we can still be a statistical anomaly.
Exactly.
And with the whole "water" thing, that's only relative to life as we know it, which goes back to what I was saying yesterday about how everything we think is based on earth-based logic/rules/science/etc. For all we know, there are different species of things that live on things we don't even know about yet. The flip side of that is that those things on the other side of the universe may not even know what water is.

No matter how this is 10000% logical, the deniers will always say "this didn't happen" because they don't want to believe that we are not the only intelligent life in the universe (which is an absurdity itself).
That is not why we say "this didn't happen".
I would think most of the people against you with a brain acknowledge there is intelligent life out there, they just didn't help build the pyramids.

IOW, this.
Seems plausible.

Why would an alien race with the advanced technology to travel to and from Earth bother helping a bunch of ancient people play with rocks?
That doesn't make any sense.
FACT.

Same way you don't walk up to a human infant and immediately hand them Fermat's Last Theorem to solve.
