So recently I watched Ancient aliens on the History Channel, and it made a lot more sense then any religion I have heard or anything like that. Giving a theory that Aliens have visited us in the past.

How did prehistoric men put together Stonehenge?

How did post stone age men carve perfect lines into diorite with their primitive tools when you would need a diamond tip saw to cut it with?

There is much more explained in the video and does a much better job describing it then me.

So please watch the video and lets discuss it.

Interesting video! Though, aliens don't really have to be like ''us''. They could also be hyperdimensional beings.

Ye that's an interesting question.

There are some interesting observations and facts about those ancient people who put those stones up, which is (sorry for not being able to summarize it myself):

QUOTE
One of the things that seems to be almost ubiquitous with these "ancient groups" and their circles and mighty stone works and "star temples" and all that seems to be the fact that they all just "disappear" with alarming regularity. How many times have you read: "What happened to [this ancient group] is unknown. The site was abandoned and there is no real explanation as to what happened or where they went." (Fill in the blank with your choice of groups and times.)

Then, such writers go to great lengths explaining all sorts of possible scenarios... plague, war, climate, whatever. (Almost never is global cataclysm proposed because that is too scary, and, besides, the structures are intact, for the most part).

But, the single fact remains: the peoples associated with big piles of rocks or megalithic structures have a habit of disappearing. That's an unavoidable observation.


another is:

QUOTE
The interesting thing is that the peoples who did erect them are still, in most circles, considered to be barbarians because they did not build cities, engage in agriculture, develop the wheel, or writing.

Yet, they did something that clearly cannot and was not done by "civilized" peoples who did all of those "civilized" things.


Perhaps the reason why these people weren't ''civilized'' like we are now, was because the stones did much work for them? And of course... where did their knowledge came from?

And did the pyramid-makers receive some ''help'' making the pyramids? hm

It's as interesting (or not) as any other theory of whatever why man is the way he is...

I can hardly see why it is even relevant. The way I see it... It's like the DaVinci Code... So what if Jesus had a wife and a daughter or not?
So what if aliens helped men build Stonehenge or pyramids (or not)?
It has nothing to do with the purpose of our existence, and even if it had... There are dozens of less ''spectacular'' theories than Aliens coming to earth that could explain all of what is mentioned in this video.

More or less, it's an opinion, doesn't mean it's true.

Exactly its just a theory that I find fascinating.

I just find it interesting that Aliens could have helped our ancient ancestors. It makes me want to believe that they might come back one day if they actually did come to our planet.

I really think that potential aliens have better things to do then watch us do stupid stuff. And if aliens did build the pyramids and stonehenge, then what was their reason? why build gigantic stone structures and then leave?

Imagine a place where there are animals. Animals are ''lower'' beings than us, we use them for experimenting, we take them as pets etc. Do you think that ''higher'' beings than us won't do the same to us? Do ants know/see we (humans) are here? Could we know/see if they (aliens) are ''here''? So I would go with AdemaLeVeL and also open up the possibility that they were here, are here and will be there in the future - that they have always been here -, but we do not necessarily see them.

You can find some possible answers to your questions and maybe one day you will.

They never mentioned THAT in Scientific American or Teen Vogue. It must be a government conspiracy

to our pets we are the masters, the leaders.. we set and enforce the rules/laws.. we let them know we're in charge.. and they go along very happily as long as they get rewards every now n then in their learning stage
sooo... if aliens did come here... and were still here.. what position do you think theyd take up?....... the creepy shadows who just sit around n watch?... dont think so.

and what easier way to control an entire 'intelligent' life form than by teaching them about 'gods' and their rules..
'this life is a short one.. and as long as you do what you're told and live the way we... sorry, god, wants you to.. you can spend eternity in paradise when you die........... if you DONT follow the rules.. you spend eternity in hell'....

sounds like an great way to take and keep control.
religion, politics, mainstream media.... no diff

Yes, the same is happening to us. We live in a great illusion and a lot of us seem to love it. You know how the sheep are happy eating their grass, and they are taken care of really good, do they know though what's in store for them when they get all fatty and ready to be eaten?

Well I don't think they just sit around. They do a lot and their intentions are not good.

Yep! ''Oh and while you follow those rules, please eat our delicious chicken burgers when you're feelin a little hungry and take the flu vaccin when you feel sick and everything will be okay! Because we care for you and you can do nothing yourself, you NEED us, you need others to take care for you, because you can't do it yourself! And to gain more trust, we will make up enemies, we will call them terrorists if you like, yes, you need us for your protection as well.''

We're basically their pets. We like to be loved in some way I guess, unfortunately all of it are nothing but lies. Hope,change blablabla what's new.

This scene from V for Vendetta sums it up well: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PhsvmY3Q9cY...re=channel_page

oh no no i think you misunderstood and have it back to front

the theory here isn't that aliens are gods.. its that "gods" are aliens... the gods that show up in all religions and cultures are in fact aliens... (theory)
They aren't here to watch over us and protect us.. theyre in charge

I really don't believe that theory, but there's no proof either way.

After watching that video, my brother and I have come to a conclusion, what if we were a lower species on an alien's planet, but were taken to earth to see how we would develop and evolve intellectually (kind of a massive science experiment) and they come here every once in a while to check up on us. This theory kind of creeped me out, even though I thought of it. To me, this theory sound entirely possible.

You'd better find a theory to beleive soon because out of all theories to the meaning of life, none of have been proven. The thing about the alien gods could be right for all we know!
