Although some of you will probly think im a little strange for taking side with this theory but i think all big successful old cultures of the world were help my aliens. i think it's a stupid idea to think people just out of the stone age produced such things as the pyrmids and myian culture by themselfs.

what do you think?

They got help from the Atlantians.

honestly does everything have to be for a reason, maybe they were just a race of accention beings that wanted to be nice.

Maybe they wanted to develop us so one day they could come back and farm us for what ever pharmacutical needs they need idk

i just think it's impossible to think they built the pyrimids so precise that we can't even build them that precise that fast.

Saying that the old civilizations need help from aliens to achieve anything.. is insulting to the human species. There is no great difference between the humans of now and the humans of then. They had just as smart people around then as we see today.

there is no evidence to suggest that. However.. there is evidence to suggest the DNA of the human species a few thousand years ago has little to non variation that you see today.

I think it's stupid to assume that ancient civilizations were stupid. People thousands of years ago were just as smart as people today. When you combine simple understanding of mathematics with thousands of slave labor, then building the pyramids is possible.

in the past, humans were stronger and more agile due the environment and the lack of today's technology. thats why they were strong enough to build the pyramids. the fact is, this is a proof that there was no such a thing as a prehistoric man, or a cave man.

is it that hard to believe that humans are capable of anything? Just wait, 2000 years into the future, some other humans will be talking and speculating that aliens helped us build what we got today, like the internet.

Clearly this is the one rational, and intelligent, explanation of how ancient civilizations could be established and produce amazing architectural wonders. It couldn't not have had anything to do with the architects or designers of ancient times. No, because that would be ridiculous. Instead, little people from space, who are clearly from a planet close enough to observe these idiotic humans and there lack of architecture, came down and decided to teach us there very own ways. Albeit, these aliens must have come here in some pretty advance space-faring craft using amazing technology we can only dream of. And rather than impart some of their awesome wisdom and technology they help us build pyramids, which are made of stone, and statues and structures that are a tribute to the ancient gods and not the weird god-like aliens who came in from the sky. And the people with their universal language ability and complete tolerance of other races accept these little space people and they work in unison to build the structures we refer to as one of the great wonders of the world.

Yeah, that is the only real explanation.

Wait... what?

No, he/she is right. All those paintings in caves, and archealogical evidence, and ancient remains of people evolutionarily distinct from modern day man supporting the existence of cave men are fake. Pfft. Everyone knows that. They were put there by the little space men who help build the pyramids...to trick us into never finding out who was really the brains behind everything humans are capable of.

I was watching the new show about 2012 on Syfy, and they were talking about how Mars was like Earth or something. And that a big disaster had happened, forcing the people or whatever you wanna call them, to have to move. Like the disastes that people think will happen in 2012. Then they started to rebuild their civilization, and stuff like that. Atleast I think that's what they were talking about. I don't remember it 100% but I remember hearing them saying something about it.

Soo... I think people did create it, and maybe some help with Aliens.

First, he did not say that humans need the aid of extraterrestrials to achieve anything. He did say, however, that it's unlikely that the Egyptians built the pyramids without the aid of extraterrestrials. Also, it's not insulting to ask questions. A mature, intellectual mind will not cower before questions, regardless of their premise.

While there are no differences, genetically between people of antiquity and people of modernity, the level of knowledge is quite different. The average person today is more knowledgeable than the average person of antiquity. Our mathematicians are more knowledgeable than their mathematicians. Our scientists know more than their scientists did.

It's truly incredible what they were able to accomplish without knowledge of some of the most fundamental mathematical axioms and theorems known today.

We know how the pyramids were built. There's this thing they discovered, see: they called it "mathematics," and they were pretty good at it for a while.

It's amazing what some math and tens of thousands of workers that believe you're God can do.

Early civilizations probably had fairly advanced techniques to building structures that have been lost over time.

For example 1 man Stonehenge.

Unless some catastrophe completely destroys all of our recorded history, data, and knowledge, I don't see the level of historical discrepancies that we see when looking 2000 years into the past occurring 2000 years in the future.

All civilizations began, well at least the ones you are talking about, because people discovered how to grow crops and not merely scavenge for food. Dealing with the technology available at the time and the vast monuments they built; they were able to use things such as logs and hard sheets to roll these large blocks and objects to the source. hen reached they hooked up a series of pulleys and such to place the objects in position. This has been studied and tested and they were perfectly capable of doing this.

No there's not. They had a very rudimentary knowledge of algebra and geometry, and a modern student taking geometry is learning more geometry than was known even in the days of the Pax Romana. For this reason, I do find it incredible that they were able to construct the Pyramids. I'm not saying that they were unequipped, based on their knowledge of mathematics, to create a pyramid structure, because they were able to, and anyone who knows geometry knows the basic fundamentals behind such a structure.

However, what they lacked in certain knowledge, they made up for in the tools and tricks they employed to get around the hurdles inherent in such an undertaking.

Sounds like you're taking the pre 90's explanation for all of this. Much has changed since then.

If you want to start applying mathematics to physics and such as seen over the last 200 years.. that's one thing. But engineering isn't that complicated.

jrhawk42

This is definitely true, and I subscribe to this reasoning. For as much knowledge as we've gained, there has been much knowledge lost over time. For awhile, we didn't even know how a dome could be constructed, until it was rediscovered in the late 15th century in Florence. I think there is much we still don't know that people of antiquity did know, which may explain the construction of the Pyramids as well as the Stonehenge.

Engineering is directly related to physics and mathematics, and it certainly is complicated, which is why no one knows for sure how many of the structures of the past, even with our advanced knowledge of engineering today, were created.

are your serious... there is no evidense to suggest the average IQ is the same as it was back then? literacy levels? math skills? specific knowledge in general? thats a pretty rediculous assumption

All the explanations that have been put forth are the subject of intense debate, and no-one can agree on anything, even whether slave-labour was used at all.

its true actually. we have become lazy. fat is another thing tho. i dont believe in the notion of "coincidence". the world was created by a coincidence, we discovered fire by incidence, we figured out how to build the pyramids by coincidence...etc take a CPU as an example. when you "create" a CPU, you define what instructions it can execute, what it is capable off. the same thing happened with humans. we were created with potential, not with a stick and a leave down there.

It's amazing what some math and tens of thousands of workers that believe you're God can do.

Basically, this. They had enough mathematical knowledge to understand how to build a giant pyramid, and thousand and thousands of workers to make it happen. It's really not that complicated.

[QUOTE="ManifestoJoe"]no way dud, IQs were way lower back in the day.Unknownmuncher

there is no evidence to suggest that. However.. there is evidence to suggest the DNA of the human species a few thousand years ago has little to non variation that you see today.

are your serious... there is no evidense to suggest the average IQ is the same as it was back then? literacy levels? math skills? specific knowledge in general? thats a pretty rediculous assumption

They are not assumptions. An assumption would be assuming that IQ's are higher now than they used to be... when there was no IQ measuring taking place. What you're actually expressing is what you perceive to be intelligence. A person can be very smart.. and know very little. Knowledge takes time to effectively compound. Everything we have today is compounded knowledge from previous generations. It is not some how out of the blue.. with no foundation.

A person that never learns to read.. does not make a person stupid.. if learning to read is not a priority of that specific culture. They learn other tasks that you would find irrelevant today. Yet, would still demonstrate the same level of intelligence you are displaying.

[QUOTE="Ontain"]not aliens. it was the produce of generations of slave labor. scholars already have plausible explanations for how they things were built.Ontain

All the explanations that have been put forth are the subject of intense debate, and no-one can agree on anything, even whether slave-labour was used at all.

well much of the evidence was lost to time but the explanations are much more plausible than aliens don't you think?

Of course, but I'm just adding more discussion. :P

IQ has nothing to do with gained knowledge. Wasn't there a thread about this yesterday? IQ deals with the ability to learn, or intelligence as opposed to knowledge gained.

But yet you think it is a smart idea that little green men came down and taught them to do so just for the heck of it?

There's a perfectly supernatural explanation for this!

Although some of you will probly think im a little strange for taking side with this theory but i think all big successful old cultures of the world were help my aliens. i think it's a stupid idea to think people just out of the stone age produced such things as the pyrmids and myian culture by themselfs.

what do you think?

SEANSEXYUNDIES

Those Stone Age people were very good with stone.

Today we would be hard pushed to make that stuff today. We are all concrete crap today.

I'd dare to say they were more advanced than us with that stone tech. I saw some modern engineers struggle to do the same on a much smaller scale on a TV show.

The Ancient Egyptians were not "Stone Age" people. They were Bronze Age.
