Am I the only one who suspects that this is a lot of spin...?Ten-mile tall ailen casinos.
I'm convinced, sold. I think we should show our good intentions before they arrive, which they obviously will, soon, any old time now.
"A great deal of ancient tribes who speak of aliens from beyond our planet, also mention that the aliens promised to return. And when they return to Earth, humankind will be quite surprised." - anonymous
One 3.5 ton block every 8.5 minutes, 24 hrs. a day for 100 years. And the one in Bosnia is bigger.
The more one looks at the giant stone structures, and the lack of detailed history of same, the spookier it gets.
It's obvious that some incredible natural catastrophy destroyed Puma Punku, literally obliteratng this oldest known city on Earth.
I think a key concern I have with the general presumption of Alient technology, is that the logic goes like this:
1. Thousands of years ago, humans didn't have modern power tools.
2. So how could they built intricate structures?
3. I don't know!
4. Therefore if must have been aliens, because someone else said so
And the whole argument basically refers to 4. that aliens did it, and then refer to 3 on how it must be aliens because - you know - humans making a great effort to build something - unexplained!!
And yet you look all around the world now, and there are massive engineering works all over, usually driven by God worship, money, power shows, and necessary engineering works.
We really do treat our ancient ancestors as some sort of monkeys, and yet all through recorded ancient human history, there was a constant spirit of innovation.
That's not to say there may or may not be the unexplainable in Egypt or other ancient cultures - just that "the aliens did it!" just seems like a cheap get-out much of the time.
What anyone wants to believe is all their own business, but I just wish we could credit our species with a little more ingenuity in the absence of electricity.
(Besides, we all know the Vorlorns did it. ).
"I bet they were illegal. Yeah, very smart but still illegal."Whilst this is very good and probably very accuarate my own opinion of the thought processes is
Theses things are very complicated.
The people there are foreign.
Well foreigners scrounge off benefits/work in my garden not build things.
Foreigners can't build complex structures.
Must be aliens.
According to Pumapunku - Age, the complex is no older than the fifth century AD, which hardly qualifies as "oldest-known".
