Ancient Alien Theory

[LostInSauce]

I was rewatching season one this weekend. Was wondering what you guys think? Several things to me are very interesting. For instance historically anomalous/anachronistic technology. Antithykera Device, Babylon Battery, Hero's Engine, Archimedes Death Ray. Additionally, the idea that our planet's religions are possibly, at least in part, just highly developed cargo cults was very interesting. That said, I'm not convinced that any aliens interacted with ancient man in a direct capacity. Anyway, what do you guys think about this theory?

I understand that we have very mixed extraterrestrial DNA, that many of us lived numerous extraterrestrial physical and/or etheric lifetimes, before we began reincarnating on Earth, often on rescue missions and that numerous extraterrestrial races have been involved with life on Earth, over a period of many millions of years.

If we go back far enough in time, many millions of years ago, before mammalians and humanoids lived on this planet, we'd likely find that it was extraterrestrials from the Sirian Star System, who first terra formed Earth, in order to eventually make it habitable to mammalian and humanoid life forms, who gave Earth it's Moon. As the story goes, those extraterrestrials knew that if they put a Moon of a certain size, in a certain position, circling Earth, it would eliminate the excessive dust problem of Earth, eventually making it habitable to mammalian and humanoid life forms.

They realized that one of their own large, obsolete spaceships was the right size to be Earth's Moon so, they use it for that purpose
and Sirian Commander Orma became known throughout the Milky Way, for that insight.

And now we can understand why the Moon rang like a bell, after NASA astronauts deliberately crashed a space vehicle into it, in 1969. In flying the Moon into position to be Earth's Moon, I wonder if they lightly bounced the Moon spaceship off of Earth, to aid in eliminating the dust problem, before finally flying the Moon into its proper position.

I think the ancient alien theory is a good probability. Why not?

As mentioned, there are many out of place artifacts. There are also drawings and arts that suggest flying disks and flying machines. That's pretty fascinating.

I can't decide if they created us, or just visited us back then. It's a tough one. I'd tend to believe they simply visited us. Another question: Where are they now? I mean, sure, there are reports of UFO. But we haven't seen actual alien astronauts in recent times, right?

The ancient alien theory gains traction when you consider those artifacts (like the Antikythera Mechanism and the Baghdad Battery) which are definitely technological leaps that seem out of place for their time and context.

The battery might just be a curiosity, but the materials and design show a working knowledge of electrochemistry far ahead of its time. Why would anyone in that era even conceive of such a thing, let alone successfully create it? The crudeness seems like someone MacGuyver'd a version of something they saw elsewhere.

The Antikythera Mechanism’s rivals Renaissance clockwork, but appears centuries earlier and as far as we know, is one of a kind. If they were capable of this, where are the other examples of similar technology at the time?

Combine this with recurring stories of gods descending from the skies wielding advanced tools and it’s hard to dismiss the possibility outright.

It's not proof, there are plenty of ways to explain around it, but it's fun to think about.

I'm skeptical of the idea that they made us, or that they interacted very closely with us. I think they came, observed at a distance, perhaps showed us a cool magic trick, and left. Had they interacted with us very closely, I reckon they would have left a physical trace.

You know, this made me have an idea. What if like...before the flood we had an advanced civilization that understood batteries and electricity and stuff. You know, nukes and Vimanas and whatnot. And then after the flood, things like the Baghdad Battery may have been some kind of crude copy or improvisation of what existed before the flood.

Skepticism is always a good starting point with ideas like this. Personally, I lean toward the idea that creation, whether through a divine force or natural processes, requires some kind of guiding influence. The way entropy works makes me wonder how systems could naturally become more complex on their own. That's not dogma or a religious statement, but my own gut feeling.

A lot of creation myths share strange overlaps. The stories of Enlil and Enki stand out not because I take them literally, but because they make me wonder if there’s a deeper connection or even a lost history behind them. One of my favorite topics to read about.

What’s also interesting is how so many ancient myths revolve around clashes between opposing forces like creation vs. destruction, order vs. chaos and good vs. evil. Maybe those are just allegories, or maybe real events that ancient people tried to interpret through the lens of their time.

I can definitely see that! The Younger Dryas events around 13,000 years ago could’ve wiped out an advanced civilization (Atlantis?) and erased most of that history. Things like the Baghdad Battery could be crude attempts to copy tech that existed before everything fell apart.

What really gets me are stories of beings like Quetzalcoatl coming out of the sea to teach the Aztecs, or other similar beings appearing in different cultures around the same time. Viracocha in the Andes and Oannes in Mesopotamia. Almost like these myths are fragments of something bigger we just don’t have the full picture of. If those beings were real, maybe they were survivors from that lost civilization trying to pass down what they knew. That could explain why so many cultures seem to develop these random bursts of advancement without much basis or context for where it appeared.

Found this video about the battery. It's really remarkable to see something so ancient power a lightbulb. Granted, it's a small bulb, and he needed a ton of batteries. As far as ancient history and the flood goes, I often wonder about what the world was really like before the flood. People underestimate the destructive power of nature. In the event of a true cataclysm, any trace of us could easily be wiped out. So it's not beyond the realm of possibilities that there was some overarching unified global culture that was destroyed in this cataclysm. It is worth noting that certain symbols, for instance the swastika, are found basically everywhere. So are pyramids, and in many cases flying serpents. It's generally accepted that long long ago, all the world's land was one unified body, Pangea.
