Utter nonsense


So if you find a mystery, then the answer is either We don't know yet or we are working on a logical theory.

But no, every episode, they show some sight and speculate but then immediately conclude that it was aliens. No proof, nothing.

It must be aliens.

e.g. Gobekli Tepe - the moronic lady says - there were no tools found at the site at all. What kind of a moron is she?

Do we leave building construction equipment, cranes, shovels, cement mixers etc. lying around after building something?

Also, why would these aliens come to Earth with high tech equipment, then resort to building simplest structures (pyramid shape) from rocks? What sort of high tech is this?

And no use of alloys or exotic materials or circuits/chips/silicon tech or other such tech.
No use of any sort of heavy elements or radioactive ones (which we can still detect based on their half life of several thousands of years).


Instead of aliens, could it not be possible that these were just humans doing simple things given time and man power?
Or perhaps the civilization was a little bit advanced (say like our year 1700 advanced) and then died out?

Would that not be simpler than aliens?

Did the Aliens leave any tools behind?
So much for that logic then...

I agree, people didnt have the distractions and freedom of choice back then.
They were much more coordinated and focused on things in their direct surroundings.
All they had were the limited answers they had at the time, same for us, but our collective knowledge has expanded greatly since then.
They had different priorities and were able to invest more on projects than we allow ourselves today, for whatever reasons.
But then again, much of the ancient architecture is all about religion and worshiping the current leader, im not so sure if we are supposed to bring back that tradition specifically.

We have the advantage of hindsight and backwards engineering, but ancient civilizations did the legwork for most of our modern know-how.

As much as i like to believe in Alien evidence, theories like these just dont win me over, and i find it rather rude to systematically dismiss human capabilities.

You really believe that humans, the only beings on this planet that are actively destroying it, came only from this planet?
Ok...

im not sure if OP was saying exactly that.

Personally i think panspermia is a realistic concept, but i dont necessarily think that advanced Aliens changed things for us somewhere in the past.
Not that i am saying that i dont think that it isnt possible or true, but i just have not been convinced with the current theories to believe in it.

I would like to think it is true, thats why im so fond of Sci-Fi and unexplained mysteries, but my approach to mysteries is to solve them in a way that would be possible for humans, the Alien possibility is more like a last resort back up plan, because it would likely not explain much about the mystery itself, unless we know how to decipher or translate whatever we are looking at.

Science (reality) does not care what you or I think.
Unless you have proof, yes, humans did only come from this planet. We have genetic similarity with all life forms on earth. This is proven genetic science.

If you mean something further like intelligence, then I can speculate with you but without proof or any logical reasoning, we can only say at best - we don't know for sure.

Currently though the position would be - humans came only from this planet given what we know and what proof we have.

Yeah i would have no issue in accepting that some or all of Earth's life might have came here from Mars, nowhere does it say that life itself originated on Mars, maybe Mars itself was hit by a random ancient asteroid that contained those same ancient microbes.
When you are talking about microbes, you are not specifically talking about intelligent design, there is intelligence and there is a design, but i would not call it "God's Cosmic Sperm" or something.

Same goes for the Alien and Religion theories, i dont specifically dismiss the concept, but i am not convinced in what humans made out of these concepts so far.
Even if it were Aliens or Angels, where did they come from, where are they now?

We are still nowhere near an answer to any of the big questions.
The problem with deities is that THEY have to provide you with an answer, instead of looking for the answers yourself. When i was a kid, i wanted to know about religion, the questions i had were the same questions that the grown ups had, but i soon found out that they didnt want answers, for them this is it.
It felt as if they were frozen in time, i had no desire to stop asking questions at that age already, honestly, i found it all to be pretty weird.
Its like they made mantra's out of their own ignorance, Why God, Why?!

Problems got worse when religion tries to "teach" us about Adam & Eve and the Tree of Knowledge, that is definitely a deal breaker for me, and i have similar of those moments with alien theories as well as "scientists" claiming all kinds of things about (backward)time travel.
I would not tell them to stop thinking out of the box, but i would like to adjust their trajectory a bit, something that is hard to do in religion, the Pope moves slow, but at least he is moving.

It all boils down to the same questions about life, when thinking about the spark of life, it is hard not to go spiritual sometimes, we might have originated from microbes, but our bodies contain billions of them too, the same primitive building blocks, as if we are a host shell of Alien microbial colonies, a symbiotic relationship. And why do freaky coincidences happen, they are so weird and random.

Science should not be meant to oppose ideologies, it is the middle road to progress, any side can use it to their advantage, but if answers turn out against them, then it is not fair to blame reality, everything changes, so why not ideologies too.

Well, in my view that design and intelligence you're talking about is not god or such. It is purely evolution at work - natural selection and survival of the fittest. Personally, to me it is evident from history that man created god in man's image and god is just a placeholder answer to mysteries of the universe, today we don't need that placeholder as we have evolved science.

I agree that we are nowhere near any answer and maybe in my lifetime perhaps none of thhe major questions will be answered....

Well yeah i agree that religions and deities have become place holders and that is time that we have to move on from these "checkpoints".

I think it is more logical to invest in Evolution, even though Evolution has the same origin problems. Nobody knows exactly, so at this point they are still a mishmash of ideas and proposals.

But i agree that Evolution on its own holds the most credit and merit, since it does not rely on an origin that was a lifeform or complex being in itself.
If we somehow meet Aliens, or somehow make contact with a Deity, if they cant answer where everything really came from, then there would be no other choice than to look into Evolution, possibly even together with God haha.

Im a big fan of the Carl Sagan quote: "We're made of star-stuff, we are a way for the Cosmos to know itself."
I like the introspective angle, i think it describes us as the curious beings that we are, we feel connected yet not the same, but we know share the same ingredients, explaining its origin will explain our own origins too.
The particles are probably not specifically designed for each other, but the way they individually formed themselves made them possible to connect to something else with a similar build or element, like DNA, stem-cells, our bodies and even society.
I like how things recur on different levels, but we never quite know why.

Do we leave building construction equipment, cranes, shovels, cement mixers etc. lying around after building something?


OK, so they are not at Gobekli Tepe, then where are they? We have yet to find one single 10,000 year old bulldozer. Just one, would help us understand our history. And there is no documentation, or depictions anywhere in the world, saying that the "Gods", or even MANKIND, used "Bulldozers"...

Also, why would these aliens come to Earth with high tech equipment, then resort to building simplest structures (pyramid shape) from rocks? What sort of high tech is this?


Have you seen the size of the Great Pyramid? Aliens, bringing "bulldozers" with them makes sense. But bringing tons of steel, in a cargo hold of huge ships, traveling across light years of space, that would be required to build something like the Great Pyramid... That would just be nearly impossible, and stupid if they could. When you get there, you just build it out of stone.

And no use of alloys or exotic materials or circuits/chips/silicon tech or other such tech.


For what? Computers? They have all of that stuff in their ships. When they left, they took those with them.

No use of any sort of heavy elements or radioactive ones (which we can still detect based on their half life of several thousands of years).


Powering what? Square "Caves", Straw Huts? Mud Homes? Nothing has been found on our planet, that suggests the need for "Plutonium", like Ancient DeLorean time machines... Actually, according to the show, there are some places that are radioactive, and some places were mined for radioactive elements, like Serpent Mound.

Instead of aliens, could it not be possible that these were just humans doing simple things given time and man power? Or perhaps the civilization was a little bit advanced (say like our year 1700 advanced) and then died out? Would that not be simpler than aliens?


Yes. Plato talks about Atlantis, which was supposed to be a highly technological Human society. There may have been others.

But there is no evidence of Atlantis. And no evidence of any other culture with advanced tech.

Maybe our bulldozers rusted away, or maybe they are sitting under glaciers at the south pole.

But for now, there is no evidence, written or physical, that suggests, that any human culture had the knowledge and tools to build these complex places. ...and... Mainstream historians, claim that Mankind was not capable anyway. We were too "ingnorante" and/or too "stupid".

So archaeologists, need to explain the places, so they came up with the idea that "Aliens" did it. It's just a suggestion of what might have happened, until some evidence is found, that indicates that it was mankind.

I know some people don't want to hear it, but that evidence MAY also someday prove the existence of Ancient Aliens...
