Ancient Alien Astronauts (for Paleo)

[billbuckner]

In a nutshell, this theory is about intelligent extraterrestrial beings called ancient astronauts or ancient aliens have visited Earth, and this contact is connected with the origins or development of human cultures, technologies, and religions. A common variant of the idea include proposals that deities from most, if not all, religions are actually extraterrestrials, and their technologies were taken as evidence of their divine status.

There's several supporting pieces of evidence, if interpreted in the correct context. They Pyramids, Stonehenge, and even the store of Ezekiel in the bible. There have been several good shows on History Channel about this. Some even suggest that aliens bred with ancient man and we are all Alien/Human hybrids of some sort.

This is the type of off the wall theory that I can get behind. I'm sure you're not new to this idea. Anything you'd like to share?

Ancient Aliens is one of the most downloaded documentaries on the internet. The awesomeness of this documentary is in the fact the that The History Channel provides very little counter argument to the "experts" who populate this immense piece of investigative historical research. They present the information as if it's fact.

The History Channel were so proud of this research, that I believe they made it into a series (which I have not seen).

A great piece of docu-comedy ... a must see.

You're referring to the Anunnaki who allegedly had a profound effect on the civilizations living in Mesopotamia. There certainly are relics from that era which perplex archaeologists.

close ... I actually think he's the result of a generitic experiment gone wrong involving the Centari & Rob Schneider.

I think it's fascinating. And although some of the people that purport this theory are loons, it can't be summarily dismissed.

It's tough to summarily dismiss on that account that the human race is close to 300,000 years old, yet we have contemporary individuals who's tiny life spans constitute roughly .01 percent of that time making absolute statements that extraterrestrials do not exist. You have to have an open mind on the basis that so much knowledge has been lost during periods of upheavals and natural disasters (i.e. fire at the library of Alexandria, the alleged destruction of Atlantis continent).

B5 was one of the most underrated shows ever. The DS9 and B5 back-to-back was geek nirvana for me.
