Due to its success, History Channel made 'Ancient Aliens' a series[views:31302][posts:142]____________________________________ [May 19,2010 6:43pm - arilliusbm ""] Be thankful this doesn't get deep into alien lore, like the Lyran wars, the mass exodus of humans, etc. It briefly touched it with the mention of the reptillians and the greys creating hybrids. I haven't seen the one last night- did they talk about that?? |
| _________________________________ [May 19,2010 6:51pm - Doomkid ""] I don't know, I'm watching the one called "The Mission" on youtube which asserted for about half an hour that animal/human hybrids as depictions of gods meant that aliens had bred with humans. One of my favorite pieces of evidence with Giorgio was a sarcophagus in Egypt that had a bunch of animal bones all crushed up. Somehow that meant that they were human/animal hybrids that the Egyptians wanted to destroy forever. |
| ____________________________________ [May 19,2010 7:04pm - arilliusbm ""] hahaha, yea. That was one of the most laughable ones. regardless, I keep an open mind about everything when it comes to ancient history. that's a little far fetched, though. believe it or not, there's a dig going on right now under one of the sphnyx's paws. That media whore Hawass hasn't talked about it yet. Supposedly under the sphynx is a great deal of information that could alter our perception of the ancient world. |

| _________________________________ [May 19,2010 7:36pm - Doomkid ""] An open mind is great, and the research on the Sphinx in the past 15 years has been pretty cool (ie: everyone and their mom who lived in Egypt rebuilt/restored it). I look forward to its future showings. |

I have a song about Ancient Aliens its called Ancient Astronauts here are the lyrics Ancient Astronauts traveled deep space Across time to visit Earth's race A watched sky with the open mind of early man Change of earthly life was now at hand Visitors from galaxy lifetime away Inhabitants of bright blue orb would not be the same Brought to light visions of a higher birth Inbred with the lifeforms living on the earth! Alien race from deep space Early minds saw them devine (2 times) Brought from deep space Otherworldly grace Forever change time Reshape earthly ties Ancient!

| _____________________________________ [Jan 13,2011 12:11pm - arilliusbm ""] i agree though, I laugh at probably more than half of the speculations they propose. especially david childress. that guy is a joke. even the way he talks makes me laugh. as far as puma punku goes, the main reason why I like this one (among other ancient structures) is that there are stones with precise lines and holes in them. the stones are made of diorite and granite. both are extremely hard minerals and hard to cut with standard tools. i'm not saying aliens did it, but there is no proper explanation on how the natives did it. it is also one of the many areas around the world that some scientists belive to be 12,000 years old. I actually am starting to believe that there were some antediluvian cultures before the great flood. normally, I'd scoff at that idea, but every single culture around the world has a story or myth about a great flood. they are uncovering ruins all over the place of which seem to be over 10000 years old. I think there were few advanced cultures before the last ice age, only to see the homo sapiens bottleneck and start over, almost from scratch. more examples of currently "unexplained" and possibly antediluvian cultures are the underwater ruins they discovered off the coast of japan, dwarka india, and most notable and recent - Gobekli Tepe in Turkey. I don't say this because i'm a hardcore bible follower (obviously i'm not), but that account of the flood is just one of hundreds. the epic of gilgamesh predates the bible and also has a story of the flood. it is quite fascinating that just about every culture has a great flood story, and there's ruins that could be over 12,000 years old. if anything, I believe this hypothesis over ancient aliens. |

| ______________________________________ [Jan 13,2011 12:16pm - Sacreligion ""] I sometimes wonder if modern people mistranslated all of those ancient flood stories and the people back then were actually talking about ice, not water. |

Wait a minute, what I'm saying right now is redundant isn't it? Fuck. I actually said redundant, which is redundant because redundantly talking about redundance is redundant. |

| ___________________________________ [Jan 13,2011 5:40pm - arktouros ""] pumapunku was made by a huge mountain society that had access to prime metals and minerals. they had relatively advanced metallurgy technologies and an understanding of geometry and were good engineers. some of their techniques weren't passed on to future surrounding populations. there, i just explained pumapunku. gobekli tepe is amazing. it's a testament to how advanced societies were before the rise of mesopotamia. but the earliest signs of human complex tool use and language developed began 40,000 before gobekli tepe was built. many discrete advances were made wherever groups of humans were, no matter how small, that were never passed on. "hunter-gatherer" is misleading because people were also perfectly capable of settling for extended periods of time. i don't doubt there were relatively advanced societies lost with the ice age. i'd love to see a structure from that period. unfortunately so far it's been impossible to find one so that period is clouded with the same myths extraterrestrials are. the deluge myth is common among nearly every culture. nobody knows why. but if you were to formulate a creation myth today, wouldn't a great flood be a good way to start things off? it's wishful thinking stacked on cherry-picked ambiguous evidence. history channel sits on the crossroads of ignorance about the ancients and extraterrestrials. they will fill in disputed gaps of ancient history with pure fiction to link them to aliens. then they pass it off as serious discussion and educated conclusions. it's fucking filthy but it's a good way to make some cash. |

| ___________________________________ [Jan 13,2011 7:24pm - Boozegood ""] arkquimanthorn said:science is interested in what you can't disprove Science is based on the complete opposite, science is completely based on attempting to and hopefully succeeding at disproving theories, hopefully in the process of developing them. Faith is universal, but scientific 'faith' is based on substantial evidence, ie: "I have faith that the Pythagorean theorem is correct and useful, because Pythagoras used mathematical proofs to arrive at said theorem, and I have used it myself to figure out many problems, therefore I have faith Pythagoras is as close to correct as anyone in this situation." Religious faith is completely blind. Not only that, but it is unchangeable, thus making it COMPLETELY different than scientific 'faith'. |

| __________________________________ [Jan 14,2011 3:34am - Samantha ""] I would like to think that most people don't take this show seriously. I watch it because it's entertaining. They show fascinating archaeological discoveries that I've haven't already learned about, and they have wacky people talking about aliens, which is often laugh-inducing. Yeah, sure... there is always the possibility that aliens have visited our planet in the past, but there is no way to know that for certain unless we make contact with aliens in the present. The likelihood of that is pretty slim. What is more likely to be the truth is that ancient humans were probably more technologically advanced than we know based on current historical evidence. Maybe the whole "great flood" thing happened and set civilization back. Who knows? I don't think those "ancient astronaut theorists" are giving the human species enough credit. Even in ancient times, we were capable of some pretty cool things. The pyramids weren't built with magic alien technology. They were built with pure, human determination... and a whole lot of slaves who were repeatedly whipped by a fanatically religious culture that thought their king was god. |
