Ancient Astronaut Theory

[BillyTheKid]

Not sure if anyone knows of this or if anyone would even be interested. I am curious on your thoughts about it and why you believe or why you do not. Please no ignorant posts just to get your post count higher. I prefer intelligent posts

I don't feel the need to explain what it is, I'm not teaching it I am just simply seeing if anyone else finds it interesting??

Basic idea is in the past beings from another planet to assist the people of earth in building structures nearly 4,500 years ago (Egypt Pyramids, Pyramids in Peru, Puma Punku, etc.), and to teach them better ways of building. Some think it was a way of advancing the civilizations.

If you look at the stones in Peru a lot of them being granite over 200 tons. Smooth cut edges that modern stone workers claim would take a lifetime to do by hand, and nearly impossible with modern machinery. Placed so perfectly a piece of paper wouldn't go between them. Also, you have the Ica stones in Peru that show carvings of humans interacting with beings, or the nazca lines that can only be viewed from the sky, something that wasn't possible.

Obviously in 3,000 BC there were no machines capable of lifting or carving such stones. Even modern with modern technology it would be hard to move these stones. How did it happen?

I think it is interesting. There are so many unanswered questions about our origin (at least as far as modern "science" is concerned) and conventional wisdom is holding desperately onto it's web of lies.

Please don't get snookered into the idea of extraterrestrials or aliens that are responsible for all these ancient artifacts. Truth is, mankind, in various areas around the world, was much more highly advanced that we give them credit for. After all, they did not come from apes, who came from a much lower animal that swam out of a swamp, that came from an amoeba. Man had GOD's living breath in him, complete with a soul and intellegence from the Creator. THe BIBLE Is full of specific names of people who were great hunters, fantastic builders, carpenters, city designers, shipbuilders, tanners, workers of wool, linens, dyes, axe makers, statue makers, metal and sword makers and so much more! Just the outreach that Solomon did to build GOD's temple in Jerusalem, where he incorporated known wood shapers, refiners, and had certain peoples from other areas come in and utilize their specific skills....is NO secret. Do you think that Noah went to a shipbuilder to get ideas for the Ark?

GIve GOD credit for making humans that had intellect. GOD did not have to have "SKY PEOPLE" come down and teach us to create.. GOD implanted creation within us already.

I honestly think it can be explained and we have the information to explain it. I remember a project from the 8th grade. We had to do a research paper on the Coral Castle. Have you heard of it?
This one guy who was only 100 pounds built this amazing castle all by himself. It took him 28 years to complete it and it is made of stone.....He claimed that he found the secret used by the builders of the pyramids.
I have thought about this since 8th grade and have thought it had to have something to do with levers...scientists and This guy's friend say he used leverage and a strong work ethic. Here is an article on the coral castle and the work behind it.
I think the pyramids were built the same way, using leverage....

Interesting......but still explains nothing lol.

All I know is that if they were here, Chuck Norris fixed that problem.

Yes I have heard of it. It is in Florida and the man built it for his wife. Although it isn't made of stone. My question is, if they used a leverage system how were they able to lift 200 ton stones? If we did that today we would need 2 cranes. I am not talking about small cranes. I am talking about super cranes. If it takes that how were they able to use wood or stone to lift it? There would be evidence of some type of leverage system.

Physics....Here is an article from some guy that explains it. Apparently the stones are the fulcrums and pivot points.

It was kinda funny.

Then why respond? That is the problem with forums. They are there for a purpose. If you serve no purpose to my thread why are you here?

It's easy to explain who did it - ancient mankind from the post-Flood world! They were geniuses! As to how they did it? That's a great mystery. But they were more intelligent than we are now, that's for sure.

Interesting theory. I guess my only question would be, what happened to civilizations after that? A sudden explosion of technology lasting over 1,000 years and then nothing? Assuming your theory is correct civilizations would have advanced more, not regress to more primitive ways of building. Either way, I wish I had a time machine to visit and see for myself.

What do you mean exactly? The Flood happened roughly 4,500 years ago. Then the Tower of Babel dispersion happened up to a couple hundred years after. The Babylonian culture began not long after the dispersion, the Egyptian culture came a little later and then Grecian culture. There were plenty of technology moments during and since. Some knowledge was definitely lost over the millenias though. Maybe much knowledge.

... Please no ignorant posts just to get your post count higher. I prefer intelligent posts ...

So what you wrote should be considered an "intelligent post?"

Hard to say. No need to immediately suggest aliens did it though, we're a smart species, we probably just forgot how we did it. The hypothesis of "the ancient astronaut" is only hindering scientific research on ancient technology. Research shouldn't be biased by such a far-fetched hypothesis.

I think a large part of it was that...

1. Information was fragile and expensive to record. See the burning of Alexandria for a better idea. Who knows how many "libraries" were burned or destroyed over the centuries during war. Information was primarily given through word of mouth, sure there were books. How many people could read though? How many people could even afford a book or scroll? Plus scrolls and books took FOREVER to make since they were all done by hand. We are talking only a handful of copies for each book/scroll IF the information was considered really important.

this is a good response and explains much. must have went over the OPs head lol.
why do so many today insist cultures back then were soooooo stupid? what evidence are they using to support this? we elect G bush 2 terms, a man that couldn't tie his own shoes and then insist the pyramid builders were simpletons lol

Erich von Däniken and christopher dunn are your big leaders. and what is there best evidence, if we cant do it they cant do it. i personally think the problem with these 2 is they were both born into privileged and never, ever ever picked up a hand tool and built something. i have seen with my own eyes, man build amazing things with their mind, hands and no machine or computer program needed.
we are a culture obsessed with reality TV, celebrities and shopping for things we dont even need and we are comparing ourselves to ancient cultures obsessed with spirituality, knowledge and wisdom. dwell on that for a bit and u would have a better understanding of who those people really were

True, but let's not forget the bigger problem. These two men were involved in some pretty weird spiritual beliefs and practices that pretend to be New Age, but really harken in their most base form back to the Fall, and in a more refined form, back to the early times following the dispersion at the tower of Babel.

no, it didn't go over my head. I have a life outside of the internet that keeps me very busy, so I do not have the time to come on here and sit for hours at a time in the forums. My apologies for starting a thread and not having time to spend my life on the internet lol
