Yes, I have checked it out. Pyramids are not what I am talking about. That is a fairly universal way to build a tall massive building out of rubble and hewn stone without the benifit of an internal skeleton structure like we use today. I would expect diverse peoples to come up with that. Heck, toddlers today build pyramids out of wooden blocks to create a stable large structure and they have no architectural or engineering background yet. Anyone who needs to stack rocks does the same thing eventually.

But to depict a detailed flying object, with a pilot in it, on both sides of the ocean, before global travel and communications is what makes me go hmmm. That fact that all these stories come from about the same time in history is another factor that is not easilly explained with only terrestrial concerns.

Yes, there could be some other answer that explains this. I have yet to hear it though.

how can any1 not believe in this theory? !? evidence is right there n front of us...

Ok not nesesarily discounting your statement only questioning an assumption .
the lunar lander was not aerodynamic either(I realize the moon has no atmosphere)
but depending on aerodynamic is only needed at higher speeds(notice mans early aircraft and automobiles)in space (outside the atmosphere) aerodynamics are not a factor.

do you think ancient people knew about aerodynamics ? of course not.
they just drawed what they saw. (or as close to it as they could understand).

evident? such as ??

i believe they did some increatable things but not without
some kind of help.
but my point is, you can't make a decision based on wheather or not a painting
or sculpture was aerodynamic.

btw.. if they understood aerodynamics wouldn't you think we would find paintings
of simple gliders instead of complicated jet airplains (even if they wasn't aerodynamic)

oh hell,,, what are we talking about? we know GOD did it.
isn't that the way it works? if you can't explain it, god did it.lol

Wow, I can't believe there are so many Fans of the History channel here ::sign cool::

As for me I am a Truck driver so I know how heavy a fully loaded Tractor Trailer is, now 40 tons is a lot of weight and some of the Big blocks of Limestone used to build the Pyramids in Egypt are 80 tons or more......So we are expected to believe that Cave men drug these Heavy stones across Desert sand OR they floated these Blocks on simple log rafts down the Nile.......Eh, I don't so. I say this because I have seen, as many of you good People have what happens when a loaded Semi loses its brakes and has to hit the Runaway ramps off the Interstate in the High Mountain areas, It takes a BIG Tow Truck to pull these Semi's out of that Gravel Ramp. These Big Tow Trucks have 550 hp CAT engines in them, so there is NO way that 200 cave men drug those Stone blocks across the sand.

Welcome.

I don't know either how these huge stones were moved around by the Egyptians, Mayans, Aztecs and / or Incas...but I find hard to believe a guy seating on a cloud did it for them.

Now, how many thousands people would be necessary to move an 800 T stone?

Where did they get the wooden log rollers? Remember, the pyramids are in the Sahara.

There were trees in the area. The Nile river valley was a lush green place back then. It was basically deforested back in the time of the pyramids. Same thing happened with the Maya and Inca's, they cut down so many trees they destroyed the ecosystem that supported them. It is what is believed to have happended to the people in Mesa Verde. Besides, there was ship based trade in the Mediterrian, so they could have just bought them.

Well, but the "computer precision' of the cuts is something awesome. Nope, no an easy sill to get.

I will say, the only thing that keeps me from being completely athiestic is a few issues I have

1. science states that something doesn't come from nothing
2. where did all matter come from to formulate the big bang?
3. where did the laws of physics and quantum mechanics come from?

So you're saying it's more likely that extraterrestrials travelled lightyears to move a couple rocks and leave no other evidence behind than for the egyptians to have travelled a ways to get some wood?

The last thing I'd do is reject ancient, unsupported woo documents like the bible, vedas and koran and then embrace a modern one like chariots of the gods.

I am sure we are quite boring to beings that use the Milky Way as a superhighway.

Ancient human intelligence: Evolution works very slowly. Humans of 10,000 years ago had roughly the same reasoning capacity as we do. They may not have had the same collection of information we have, but they were still intelligent. Not realizing this is the starting point of most of the flawed reasoning in this thread.

Ancient global communication: requires little more than people going from place to place and carrying with them, ideas. If only a fraction of population traveled 50 miles a year and an even smaller fraction traveled the seas, ideas could easily spread across the globe in a very short time.

The pyramids: It doesn't take a degree in rocket science to figure out how to stack heavy rocks onto heavy rocks or to move rocks from one place to another, especially when there is a river close by and there is an abundance of cheap labor. As for our abilities to build them today, of course we can. We have buildings in every major city that are many times more complex and amazing. If the empire state building were build 5,000 years ago, I might be impressed. Furthermore, it is entirely reasonable to expect an advanced civilization to build that instead.

Alien similarities: The key similarity is that they are humanoid, which isn't all that surprising given the source of imagination is humans. Also, there is a potential confirmation bias logical fallacy at work here...Any thing that didn't look human could have been interpreted as creative animal drawings and been subsequently ignored in order to make the argument that they are all similar.


Modern evolutionary theory clearly shows, by way of physical evidence, common descent over the course of 3.5 billion years. The earth at that time would have most likely been of little interest to traveling aliens.

The likelihood that any alien civilization would even consider coming here also has problems. With 200 billion stars in this galaxy, even if there were a MILLION star traveling alien civilizations, there would still be a 1 in 200,000 probability that any one of them would choose to travel to ours.
