Earth and the stars: cultural clashes

The childish and simplistic reproduction of a technology too advanced for these tribes to understand, makes us open our mouth in shock and perhaps, giggle. After this initial reaction, we may find our brains racing, trying to put ourselves in these tribesmen shoes and then realizing how these people have missed 10,000 years of human evolution.

This is not easy to digest. However once that accelerated time traveling journey is complete, we start to grasp the massive divide between them and our modern society. This “human evolution in a flash” is the road from nomadic tribes to farming, tool creation, empires, middle age, new major religions, wars, nations all the way to the Moon landing, Wi-Fi and the I-Phone which is portrayed with profound intelligence in the book Sapiens or with impact in the opening theme of the Tv show Big Bang theory.

The so-called Theory of the ancient astronauts remains a pseudoscience as of today (maybe not for long?); but the idea that intelligent extraterrestrial beings might have visited Earth in a remote past and have come into contact with humans is no longer that absurd.

Scientific theories, concepts and discoveries, such as the space-time continuum, light-speed travel, quantum mechanics, the monstrous dimensions of the known universe and the existence of exoplanets leave open, at the very least, strong probabilities of extraterrestrial life. If they were to exist, could they have visited our planet in the past? And if so, have they left any traces behind?

Well, yes. The most direct testimonies are those contained in the main sacred texts of all main religions around the world; these seem to tell us the same identical story: a superior race came to earth in the distant past and dominated the planet for thousands of years. In this respect, the testimonies that have come to us from the past are many and varied. Often, these have been under our eyes and yet we were not able to see them. A notable example is the Giza plateau in Egypt, containing the three famous pyramids which obviously were NOT tombs. More on that soon in future articles.

Heretical archeology and OOPARTS (Out of place artefacts) reveal anachronisms so obvious that any attempt at understanding them following the dominant historical paradigm leads to a long series of unanswered questions marks.

The most striking example is the one already addressed in our previous article, (The future in our past 4) and it has to do with the narration of the official anthropology, according to which our current civilization would be the point of arrival of a linear and gradual path that started about four or five thousands years ago. According to the dominant theory, no other advanced human civilizations have ever existed before us. 

Then, we wondered: how much of human civilization past can we really say to know? Maybe ten thousand years? We can say we have a fairly accurate idea of what happened to humans up to a thousand or two thousand years ago, a very approximate idea of what could have happened five to ten thousand years ago and no idea at all of what happened before that. We know that Homo Sapiens (us) has been around for a very long time, probably since around two hundred thousand years. We developed linguistic skills and structured societies only from about 70,000 years ago, when we supplanted our rival species Neanderthals and started the cognitive revolution. What happened after the cognitive revolution?

Homo Sapiens was just as smart, curious and ambitious as we are, with the same brain. Should we believe that he just harvested berries and fruit for 60.000 (very boring) years? Why should we exclude that many human civilizations might have populated the planet for millennia, created cities, fought wars, developed technologies, or met with the powerful beings descended from the stars?

Under these conditions, resisting the bewitching song of the sirens (that is, imagining that history might be different from what they have told us so far) becomes arduous.

In fact, in the absence of serious arguments capable of explaining at least the most obvious inconsistencies , the only option is to rely on an alternative reading of events, which is what our mission in this blog and upcoming books is all about.

This is going to be a journey that will be based on an honest and scrupulous research on real and scientific data. At the same time you will need to have the courage to dare, because “those who dream even in daytime know many things that escape those who dream only at night.” Edgar Allan Poe
