Ancient Astronaut Theory

[Talivar]

What do people think of this theory?

 

[old.Tohtori]

Some additional info would be nice, kind of the census topic poster duty

 

[Talivar]

Ok well This theory boils down to fact that the worlds old religions are actually based on the earth being visiting by humanoid aliens long ago. These beings helped evolve us so we could help them farm whatever recourses they needed. Over time we began to worship them as gods ect. Is lots more to it but thats a quick general rundown. One funny modern example was in ww2 the ameicans laned on some remote island and while there they handed out food to the local tribes, then when people visited this island many years later the tribes had come to worship the american soldiers as gods who had descended from the skys and given them gifts.

Ah yeh that one, it's plausible, well, if we start with the basis that other races are out there and capable of that kind of travel.

It's even mentioned in the bible(funnily enough), with a city landing from the sky and jesus hpping on a cloud to ride to the heavens (etc).

Many religions would back that theory, without knowing it even.

It's certainly an interesting concept and i wouldn't dismiss it as hocum.

 

[Talivar]

I like it aswell and defo gives food for thought.

 

[Shagrat]

Chariot of the Gods time eh?

 

[Turamber]

People are willing to think this is true but religions are all bollocks? Laughable really. The guy who created this theory in Chariot of the Gods was discredited many years ago along with his stupid ideas.

 

[Talivar]

He went to far thox adding a planet and names of the aliens ect. The concept is good imo its just people always have to go that step further

 

[Chosen]

Like said before, it is plausible that something like that could've happened(If you are open minded). A "miracle" like that is what could've created all the religions we already know off! No wonder tho... Imagine a human at that time, seeing anything alien like, no wonder he would think there is a God.

 

[Talivar]

Yep and its not to much of a stretch to take the Winged Gods/Angels decding from the heavens to just be an interpritation of what the AA theory stands for.

 

[BloodOmen]

suddenly I have mental images of Brian Blessed flying around the galaxy on a chariot.

 

[Talivar]

Was that Flash gordan?

 

[BloodOmen]

Was that Flash gordan?

aye he was the fat winged beardy bloke in that lol

 

[Zenith.UK]

Was that Flash gordan?

Gordon's ALIVE?!?!? </Brian Blessed>

I find the idea of Intelligent Life Elsewhere (ILE) appealing but the practical side of me says that it's extremely unlikely that they've visited.
Put another way, if a technologically advanced race visited Earth then it would be like the plot of the film "Independence Day". As a matter of history, the more technically advanced side always conquers the more primitive side for their resources. It's happening in the world right now with the US trying to secure oil supplies with military action.

 

[Talivar]

Ah but what if they did conquer us and to this very day retain control by cleverly planted lizard people who wear human flesh asa disguise!!!

 

[Shagrat]

you bought a subscription to conspiracies.com recently Talivar, or you been out drinking with David Icke again?

 

[Talivar]

I am David Icke!! and fortean times>all!

 

[ECA]

I've read fortean times a few times for a laugh. It's kinda funny.

Bizarre used to be good before it turned into a nazi s&m porn mag.

 

[Talivar]

Never read bizzare before, used to always read Fortean tiems tho lol

 

[Chosen]

Lizard dressed as men? Talivar, you gotto stop watching "V". Not healthy for you

 

[Marc]

The David Icke forums are such a laugh. The best bit is there are literaly thousands of users on there all the time who believe all this shit. Funnily enough, i have seen hundreds of posts on the david icke forums by someone called Joor lol

 

[Raven]

I read all of Graham Hancocks books when I was younger and he comes out with some fascinating theories, most of which are bollocks but it raises some interesting ideas. Some of the architecture is mind blowing in, much of which we have only been doing in the last 100 years. I do think we lost a lot of knowledge at some point prior to the loss of knowledge in the dark ages.

I happen to believe in aliens but I doubt they would just rock up and build shit then bugger off again, would seem rather pointless.

 

[Talivar]

My own theory is in the distant past humans had much more knowledge but it was all lost in some cataclysm like maybe the great flood or sinking of atlantis( if real). After that the humans that survived regressed knowledge wise.

Look at history as a continuum. Civilizations don't just happen. Hunter-gathering Stone Age societies are at one end of the continuum, we are somewhere closer to the other end. Each technological level, if you will, above Stone Age hunter-gatherers requires a different level of social organization to support it. Increased specialization is the rule. The industrial age required millions of workers and consumers. The postindustrial age required even more specialization, more workers and consumers. We are now moving into the era of global economy, in which the brains, talents and skills of workers all over the planet will be melded together in gigantic enterprises to create further technical progress.

The properties of the technological continuum that I've just talked about are rigid; in effect, they are laws. Since each level of technological achievement requires more and more people, more and more social organization, it follows that without the specialized people, the technological level cannot be sustained.

If a cataclysmic disaster did befall some ancient Human society, a disaster which killed most of the population, the survivors would be forced to drop to a technological level their numbers could sustain.

You mean something like that? :lol:

Punishment is now Menamacha and is 5/8 or so , i even retemplated him out in a nice 400hp 101str/con template but just use him for pve , Punishment is now my around 2 days played templated champ that im too lazy to buy ml3-10 for and get the last push to rr5 for BoV

All this namechanging is headwrecking anyway back to templating my reaver

 

[Talivar]

Yes access denied exactly like that!.

People are willing to think this is true but religions are all bollocks? Laughable really.
