Yes. People cannot seem to wrap their head around the idea that "aliens" are just the spirit beings of yore. The quickest way to see "aliens" is to dabble in the dark arts. Ain't that strange?

How were ancient monoliths built? This video argues that today’s technology is incapable of quarrying, moving, and manipulating such enormous stones.
We’ve all heard about this idea before. But this seems a particularly compelling presentation of it.

Huge if true. Do archaeologists share this opinion? Originally Posted by Kirk Garrett

FWIW, I'm skeptical bordering on agnostic, but will admit that part of me wants to believe we are not alone....
If not, I don't want to hear about them. They can stay off my gravel.
This is a total PSYOP to distract people from news of a troubled world.

People are already distracted anyway. So I don’t think that’s the purpose. Originally Posted by Stevebol

I hope you find this entertaining:

Those weigh only 14 tons apiece on average. The ancient structures in question consist of stones weighing orders of magnitude more. Originally Posted by Peter C

Disclaimer - haven't watched the video, first hit on youtube, if it claims aliens travelled zillions of light years to pile rocks up I'm out, but it seems unarguable to me that the knowledge needed to build many of the structures that exist all round the world has been lost..the Aztecs said the same to the Conquistadors.

Yeah, that's a whole 'nother topic, google Uncharted X for plenty more very interesting videos about all that. But the whole (sensible) Ancient Technology discussion doesn't particularly infer any extra-terrestial involvement. Originally Posted by sgosnell

yes..space people it is...
perhaps on their next visit..they can cure the common cold...
many humans want/need to believe in cosmic heros..for various reasons..but the main one that is a large part of all is..saving us
now human belief systems omit logic in many systems...any questioning of doctrine is discouraged..some mildly some very strong-death to the non believer
this applies not only to major and minor religions but strong as well as fragile governments
with just these observations of human nature .. it would be fairly easy to "see into the future" and predict the rise and fall of humanity
so my question would be..do space aliens adhere to the concepts of love and hate..if not..why come here

Meanwhile, real archaeologists get on with their work.

I haven’t seen anyone say that yet. Just the first part. Originally Posted by sgosnell

Still not refuted.
-
The people who say 'We don't know how to do it" are not archaeologists, are they?

Not sure that's true. Originally Posted by Litterick

I'm not sure what the latest theories are, the professionals don't seem to want to admit they don't know. I'd love to hear them tho' I spent a couple of months going up & down the Nile, side trips to every temple I could find, including the ones the loca taxi drivers told me not to go to because 'there's nothing to see'...I went anyway.
side note - I found the photos I took at the time about 10 years ago, they'd used two cords to rotate the spindle, twice the grip, more stable (spindle less likely to fly out & smack you in the eye), able to use weaker cordage. This is really useful if you like friction firelighting.

Just for the record, I did "look into it", and stumbled across Anton Petrov some time ago. Here's a recent video he did on the subject of interstellar comets. Originally Posted by Peter C

Ok, I have no idea if she has any personal agenda here, but will look into.
Thanks (for now
)

Petrov has a very well functioning BS detector and appears to read the scientific literature as it comes out. (No idea how he keeps it up.)
I’ve been following him for a long time. He’s seen through a lot of headline grabbing junk science stories where other podcasters and YouTubers have jumped on the bandwagon.

Most of the worlds population now has smart phones, perhaps that explains the decline in reported miracles. Originally Posted by wolflen
