Most of us are probably familiar with the "ancient alien" theories, according to which aliens visited mankind at various points in history and contributed to human civilization, or helped build monuments.
Now, I'm not entirely closed off to the idea that beings from another planet may exist and could have visited our planet and come into contact with humans (many Biblical descriptions of angelic beings recall those of aircraft and machines), but most authors who hold to this idea make ridiculous claims such as humans were genetically engineered by aliens, most ancient monuments (like the pyramids) were built by aliens, etc. I found a post on a blog (http://gleamingsfromthedawn.blogspot.com/2012/01/mocking-ancient-aliens.html) that humorously refutes these ideas, I had a good laugh, this is the best part:
The idea is to assume that human beings are incapable of stacking rocks onto other rocks and that no ancient human being ever took any drugs; if you can make those two assumptions and ignore all the six year-olds that you ever meet, then you too can buy into the Ancient Alien Astronaut theory.
The following are the assumptions made by Ancient Alien Astronaut theory:
All buildings are alien landing pads. Humans were incapable of coming up with the idea of roofs, temples or pyramids on their own.
Human beings were the result of alien DNA research. We would never consider screwing mutants on our own---no matter how cute they are.
Humans beings were incapable of taming animals, inventing farming, and using tools on thier own. Obviously, ants, monkeys and crows are more intelligent than humans.
All gods and goddesses are badly drawn pictures of alien spacesuits and rockets. All mythology, including the Bible, are just badly garbled accounts of what aliens did to humans.
Humans were incapable of inventing math and writing on their own. Please ignore Einstein and Hawkings. :laugh:
And most importantly, ancient alien astronauts preferred using human labor and native materials (rocks and stone chisels), and did not use automated factories and plastics. Aliens invented the concept of "going green."
All these statements are also true of the ancient Atlantians, time-traveling reptiles, and the Babylonian Secret Chiefs. And the lack of evidence of Ancient Alien Astronauts, Atlantians, time-traveling reptiles and Babylonian Secret Chiefs is actually evidence that they did exist.
