Ancient Astronaut Theory

[bredy087]

They lost me with the whole mountain mountain top statues thing. I didn't see half the poo they were showing until they overlayed an image over the rock. The series is on Netflix.

I enjoy watching these type of shows, btw I have all 20 episodes of Ancient Aliens recorded. One of my favorite theorists is Erich von Däniken, The "father of the ancient astronaut theory". Author of Chariots of the Gods.

That is an awesome book, read it in 3 days.

I have always believed too that we are not the 1st civilized nation on Earth we have done this many times.

This theory is more plausible than the various holy books, IMHO...

There is a fine line though... If you get too silly with it, you'll become a Scientologist... If you keep a level head, I believe there is some truth in the ancient astronaut theory...

Eh I don't think the ONLY reason they would come is to exterminate us. If through some chance we developed the technology to get to another planet and that planet had life that WE would exterminate the life on that planet.

For all we know if alien visitors came to Earth they could be just as excited about finding alien life as we are. Hopefully as technology grows and advances cultures (our and alien) will see that there's no real upside in violence.

I think that there are other intelligent beings in the universe. It is hard to say that "it isnt possible" when life in the universe has already happened here on Earth, there is no reason to beleive that it cant happen elsewhere. The right conditions for life are probably pretty hard to come by, but the universe is a big place, and I think it is fair to say that out of the trillions of stars in the universe, there has to be more than one place with perfect conditions.

But, unless Einstein was wrong, it would take thousands of years to travel here, unless they happen to have come from one of the very closest stars in our own galaxy.

If an alien race were to travel hundreds or thousands of years just to get here, I dont think it would just be a quick hello, and then back home. They would probably want to exterminate us, and colonize the earth for themselves after spending that much time and effort just to get here, so that being said, i really doubt that there have ever been any visitors to our planet.

I acually think that although there probably is life out there, intelligent beings are probably rare, and the nearest inhabited star systems are probably very far away. With probably only a handfull of stars in the galaxy that possibly have intelligent life, out of hundreds of billions, the nearest E.T.s are probably way too far away to ever get here.

OK, that was my super-nerd post for the month...haha!

What if the planet that the travelers are coming from spins very slowly?

Perhaps a thousand years in our time is a couple of days in theirs.

They are probably very tall.

[Brokenbad]

They are probably very tall.

And seem not to age in our eyes.

there are other intelligent beings in our own galaxy, living as close as our own moon sometimes...

don't ask me how I know because I can't tell you...

it is also entirely possible to travel anywhere in the universe in the blink of an eye... it is just that we humans haven't figured out how yet...

It could be that we are the alien race that you are referring to! Maybe the dinosaurs were exterminated by us (the aliens) so we could live here!! :eek:

You just blew my mind man...
