Interesting topic. Many thanks for bringing it to the board.
Kidflash: I am one to believe that there was an ancient civilization and ancient extraterrestrials visited us.... I put this on Mr Creighton's
forum as he is open to many different and alternative theories.
SC:You certainly do not waste any time in getting to the crux of the matter - the perplexing question of our history and origins. It seems to me that
the deeper we dig (literally), the further back in time we have to move the origins of our species - and the more questions we then find.
Your post touches on the work of Sitchin and Pye who both postulate an "intervention" theory as being the origins of modern humans. Whilst I remain
open to such ideas, I do think more solid evidence is required, for it is only with hard, incontrovertible evidence that a theory can ever hope to
enter into the realm of fact, as one of the other posters here (Tippy's Dad) has already indicated.
Now I think we are both agreed that if a high civilisation did exist in prehistory it was a civilisation quite different in its outlook from ours.
This civilisation could work heavy stone, were highly artistic, could navigate the oceans, knew the Earth was a sphere, understood the motions of the
stars and possessed a high understanding of mathematics. The DID NOT have iPods, 4x4s, H-bombs or electricity.
Much of the knowledge this civilisation possessed would have been lost in the global cataclysm that took place on the Earth c.12,500 years ago which -
as you stated - science is now finding more and more evidence to support. Science is merely finding evidence that supports the numerous eye-witness
testimonies written in our most ancient and sacred texts.
That such advanced understanding of the cosmos (precession) was understood in prehistoric times is supported by the arrangement of the pyramids at
Giza. Not only are the ancients demonstrating the precessional half-cycle in the placement of the 2 sets of so-called 'Queens Pyramids' they
demonstrate this using 2 very pivotal moments in the motion of the belt stars - their culminations. The precessional culminations of stars can be
likened to the sun at high noon - it is no longer ascending nor is it descending. It has reached its pivotal point. This is the same with the
culmination of the belt stars although the culmination of the stars lasts for hundreds of years. How did the ancients know that this was their
culmination? And how were the ancients able to calculate and project the position of those same stars some 13,000 years into the future and do this
without the use of any advanced technology (computers etc)?
So, our history may be littered with countless broken pot sherds of this high civilisation but what many overlook is that these remarkable people were
able to preserve their minds
, their knowledge
and pass it down to us.
Of course, the question that now arises is WHY ORION? Why was this high civilisation so 'obsessed' with this constellation and, in particular, a
single star - Rho Orionis - within the constellation? Were our ancient forebears perhaps paying homage to their - and our - true origins?
