Unfortunately, I think a good bit of that knowledge was lost when the Library at Alexandria burned.
Agree - there was probably material in there that would resolve the argument we are having tonight.

You've seen the evidence - the pyramids, the hieroglyphics, etc. that cannot be refuted.
I love how you speak in absolutes all the time, Rex.

It may not be conclusive, but there is at least a 90% chance aliens have been here, and been here often.
Care to prove that, Rex?

Not really. Knowledge was carried on from generation to generation.

1925 researches came to call a cubit as being .5236 meters. Some believe they chose .5236 is b/c if you draw a circle with a diameter of 1, the conference is pi. Divide that circle into 6 equal sections, and you come up with .5236. Basically pi divided by 6.
You're just being nonsensical now. The Egyptians didn't know what a meter was and you had to use the term "basically" to find a stretch of a coincidence.

what happened to that knowledge and all the other questions that can be asked.
Civilizations collapse. Buildings burn down. Why didn't the aliens leave behind any tech? Has anyone ever found a computer chip, a metal instrument or appliance, plastic, or anything that is clear cut evidence?
As far as using ancient knowledge to build things, why didn't they teach us how to make worth a shite concrete instead of hauling big arse rocks around? Why not teach us how to make steel and aluminum?

They didn't teach us all the good stuff for when they come back to crush us.
But Randy Quaid will be ready for those bastards

Fwiw, I don't believe in Aliens, but I do believe in God -- the same God you scoffed at as a made-up something to explain our existence. Yet, your belief in evolution can be just as far fetched to others as the concept of God is to you. Example: the chances for bacteria to land here from a comet and develop into present day humans, is about the same chances I would have tearing my laptop into a thousand pieces and keep throwing it in the air until it falls back together in working order. It's as simple as this: respect my beliefs and I'll respect yours even though we don't agree!
i didn't mention anything about evolution once, so you assuming what i believe in to push your religious agenda on me is disrespectful.
Sorry you got your panties in a wad b/c i compared believing in god to aliens. All i was doing was stating that from the beginning of time, man has tried to explain the unexplained with deity's, much like the retard is trying to do with the pyramids and aliens. Maybe God temporarily rerouted the Nile and made it flow upwards in mid air towards each pyramid like a ramp and all of the blocks floated to their position on the pyramid? Maybe God was on the Egyptians side and they just wouldn't believe in him so he said frick em', they can have their golden calf, i'm going to get those idiots back with the 10 plagues and jump on the hebrew's side.
and FWIW, i believe there are aliens out there, i just don't think they have ever visited us. I have no idea if there is a god out there, and quite frankly i don't care.

I don't know if he's thinking of this, but I remember Joseph Campbell mentioning how near identical sand scripts were drawn ritually at the same time on different continents. May have been India and North America, as in our Native Americans, but don't quote me on that part, but I'm pretty sure that's correct.

My 2 year old uses pyramid shapes to build things. It's intuitive.
Cuzco
Saqsayhuaman site:
Machu Picchu Site:
Ollantaytambo Site:
But hey your son could easily do that, let alone you.
Easter Island:
Giza:
Notice the symmetry here, pic on the left shows the left hallway and the right is the right hallway. Irregular shaped yet symmetrical with each other. Same in the picture in Peru.
But hey, your son is intuitive
Here is the relationship from those previous sites:
quote:If it is so easy, how come we can't decipher some of these ancient hieroglyphs? Also the only reason why the Egyptian hieroglyphs were deciphered was b/c of the Rosetta stone. Now I'm sure we could eventually decipher it, but the way you make it out as if your 2 year old son could come up with a new and complex language.
Also intuitive to come up with. The basic ability/desire to communicate probably was carried with humans out of Africa and spread out all over the world.
quote:

The hieroglyphs of Easter Island and that of Mohendro Daro. Here is one example, but more can be found.
quote:

So the people started in egypt (I assume) and then carried the knowledge to south america and then to Easter island? This doesn't even mention the sites in parts of the world. Again, information doesn't travel that fast through propagation. Plus the Egyptians have clear hieroglyphs of airplanes and other flying vehicles.
quote:You are being nonsensical. You are ignore facts presented by early egyptiantologists in the 1920s. This was standard knowledge and is accepted today. The egyptians might not of know of the meter, but the builders of the Pyramid DID. The cubit was figured out by dimensions of the great pyramid.
You're just being nonsensical now. The Egyptians didn't know what a meter was and you had to use the term "basically" to find a stretch of a coincidence.
In 1925 the cubit was defined as I mentioned earlier, and here are the experts with measurement for a cubit.

Our steel buildings and aluminum will be long gone by 4,000+ years left to the devices of mother nature. Temples have been found underwater in the ocean and our inferior steel and aluminum would be rusted away, that we know for sure by the time 4,000 years is up. Again most of these sites with huge irregular shape stone blocks are earthquake proof, as the ones in Peru are a testament to that. Again what structure do we have built today that could last 4,000 years or longer having to put up with earthquakes and brutal winds.
Cliffs: try and show some evidence to support your claims. Do you even debate brah?
Posted on 10/2/15 at 8:18 pm to DawgGONIT
Again not once did I say aliens built the pyramids or these other sites. I'm saying the ancient people were way more advanced than we are given them credit. We still can't figure out how they did some of their stuff. It would be a real struggle to us to lift huge stone blocks over 1,000 lbs up mountains or cliffs, let a lone on flat land. Plus a lot of the quarry sites are usually located hundreds of miles away. Moving it that far is a feat unto itself, let alone placing them perfect alignment. I also bet a lot of you guys have never built anything with wood or metal? If so you would know how uneven and warped almost every piece is, especially wood. It is a struggle to get things perfect with our modern tools. How these people did this 4,000+ years ago is a great accomplishment and you guys are severely undervaluing them.
But again how does all of this equate to aliens? It seems if you can't have a real legit argument against it, then just resort to name calling, amirite?

Something occurred to stall scientific discovery and sent humanity into a dark age. Perhaps an ancient plague but whatever occurred, it took a very long time for humanity to recapture.
Wasn't sea level a lot lower 13000 years ago? Maybe the ancients lived along coastlines and civilization was destroyed by either the last ice age or the rise in sea level at the end of the last ice age.

Hardly. That would literally depend on something we do not know -- how abundant is life in the universe?

The 10,000 year paradox. The more he dig and discover the more we discover we are completely fricking wrong, part of it.
Solving the “Sapient Paradox”
Origins and Revolutions: Human Identity in Earliest Prehistory.. Clive Gamble. Cambridge University Press, New York, 2007. 364 pp., illus. $27.99 (9780521677493 paper).
Next Section
The origin of humankind continues to be one of the most difficult and intriguing uncertainties in the field of science. Discoveries of fossils, notably in Africa, and the development of DNA studies situate the emergence of Homo sapiens in Africa more than 150,000 years ago, and the dispersal of our species out of Africa about 60,000 years ago. But when and how did the behaviors that we associate with modern humankind emerge? And in particular, if the genotype was established 60,000 years ago or earlier, why did it take the new behaviors that accompanied the sedentary revolution of some 10,000 years ago so long to develop?
These are some of the questions tackled by Clive Gamble, professor of geography—but primarily an archaeologist—at Royal Holloway University of London, in Origins and Revolutions: Human Identity in Earliest Prehistory. He is one of the most original of current specialists in the early human past, and the author of Timewalkers: The Prehistory of Global Colonization and of The Palaeolithic Societies of Europe. His new book is particularly refreshing because it is not just a review of the hard evidence (hominid fossils and stone tools) that forms the undeniable basis of our knowledge. Rather, it questions the assumptions and the preconceptions that inevitably color perceptions of our own early past. It introduces the fresh argument, sometimes called the “sapient paradox,” that some of the complex behaviors now associated with humans took a long time to develop even after the emergence in Africa of humans who were fully modern in the anatomical and genetic senses. This is difficult territory, because archaeologists have not reached consensus about when language first arose or when self-consciousness developed
