    I catch that show every once in a while. Some of the stuff seems plausible and some of it seems like the "expert" describing it is grasping at straws. The lines in the dirt that you posted are one of the things that interests me. Were they drawn for that culture's god or gods to see? Were they drawn as markers for aliens? How did the people drawing them know that they looked right if they couldn't fly?

    amigo.....i know the perfect activity to clear your mind of these aliens.
    live and let live...unless it violates the pearligious doctrine.

    This is cool show, lots of speculation but some of the stuff really makes you wonder. There was one episode about a tribe in Africa i think that prayed to a star that wasnt there, but later science proved there had been one there until it went super nova, but how did these villagers know?

    I only saw part of that episode but what I saw was interesting. Did they ever say how long ago the star stopped being visible from Earth or if it was ever even bright enough to see with the naked eye?

    I think it was like 5,000 years ago, but it's been a while.

    You know what?
    After the humans are rendered extinct from the planet... and several thousand years come to pass...
    The only written record of our existance will be the things carved in the stone by Neolitic Man.
    The Great Wall my still show remnants... the Great Pyramids may be giant sand dunes... Hoover Dam may last a while... but books, photos? All gone.

    Actually... I find it quite ironic. Man's written legacy will be from cavemen. Digital, analog, paper, papyrus, organics... gone.
    What will endure... drawings on the cave walls at Altamira and those etching on the ground in South America.

    The Dogon tribe.

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dogon_peop ... d_religion
    In late 1946 Griaule spent a consecutive thirty-three days in conversations with the Dogon wiseman Ogotemmêli, the source of much of Griaule and Dieterlen's future publications.[16] They reported that the Dogon believe that the brightest star in the sky, Sirius (sigi tolo or 'star of the Sigui'[17]), has two companion stars, pō tolo (the Digitaria star), and ęmmę ya tolo, (the female Sorghum star), respectively the first and second companions of Sirius A.[18] Sirius, in the Dogon system, formed one of the foci for the orbit of a tiny star, the companionate Digitaria star. When Digitaria is closest to Sirius, that star brightens: when it is farthest from Sirius, it gives off a twinkling effect that suggests to the observer several stars. The orbit cycle takes 60 years.[19] They also claimed that the Dogon appeared to know of the rings of Saturn, and the moons of Jupiter.[20]

    Griaule and Dieterlen were puzzled by this Sudanese star system, and prefaced their analysis with the following remark:-

    The problem of knowing how, with no instruments at their disposal, men could know the movements and certain characteristics of virtually invisible stars has not been settled, nor even posed.[21]

    In 1976 Robert K. G. Temple wrote a book called The Sirius Mystery arguing that the Dogon's system reveals precise knowledge of cosmological facts only known by the development of modern astronomy, since they appear to know, from Griaule and Dieterlen's account, that Sirius was part of a binary star system, whose second star, Sirius B, a white dwarf, was however completely invisible to the human eye, (just as Digitaria is the smallest grain known to the Dogon), and that it took 50 years to complete its orbit. The existence of Sirius B had only been inferred to exist through mathematical calculations undertaken by Friedrich Bessel in 1844. Temple then argued that the Dogon's information, if traced back to ancient Egyptian sources and myth, indicated an extraterrestrial transmission of knowledge of the stars.[22] Neither Griaule nor Dieterlen had ever made such bold claims about a putative esoteric source for the Dogon's knowledge.

    Have you seen the Werner Herzog film 'Cave of Forgotten Dreams' yet?
    I very much recommend it.
    They've also recently discovered a bunch of prehistoric cave art in Somaliland which I plan to visit in the next two years - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laas_Gaal

    Interesting thoughts about what will remain. In his book World Without Us Alan Weisman mentions that things made out of brass will outlast just about anything we've made.

    Yea.. I've seen a few episodes. There is some pretty fascinating stuff on it... like a few people have said though, sometimes it appears they are grasping for straws, other times, it seems plausible.

    it makes sense to me ...

    we are a gift from beyond or is it a different dimension or from another time

    we are a plan :D

    That dude with the crazy hair is the greatest mystery of all. Is it just me or does it seem to get larger with each episode? :shock:

    Woah, he used to have normal hair???

    Anyway, this show really pisses me off. I can watch it for like 15-20 minutes but then after that I start getting mad at it!! I kinda feel like its a new take on God. God as viewed by man was created to try and explain where we come from, why are we here. And with this crap, they are throwing out the term God, and replacing it with aliens. Bah! I'm just getting upset thinking about it!!!!
  • BinauralJamBinauralJam Posts: 14,158
    But what if God is still God even though we are not a direct creation, but a ripple in water, he dropped the building blocks and has been playing God since? or something that allows for both? which is where i think the answer is, but who knows.

    You say that like it's a fact. It's not a fact. It's just your own personal opinion.

    what if god was only an alien who forgot some of his toys last time he was here. many years later he was too old so he sent his son to sort the shit out
    his son said he would be back but he has forgotten about it
    his planet may have been Nuburi and thats supposed to come back next year and fuck it all up

    That would be so cool,they stop by and stick us up for all our Gold and then split, What would the world base it's economy on afterwards? if they didn't just enslave us. Or what if there not a united race, they have different countries on Niburu and each one has it's own agenda.

    I saw a UFO last night...Elvis was at the helm and my old girl friend was him (cheating bitch) :lol:
    he just smiled and said good-by and I could hear her laughing till they flew out of sight...

    day 2;

    the UFO came back over my front yard and Elvis looked a little shaken and stressed so I asked..
    you alright man ?
    he replyed "hay man you want this girl back ?"
    I stood in awe for a second..shuk my head and ...and ...laughed my azz off and told Elvis
    "you can have anything you want just stay off my blue sued shoes" and laughed some more and went to bed.

    God is an alien. he is the ultimate extra terrestrial.


    in the beginning God created the heaven and the earth


    so if he created the earth then he came from some place else... ergo hes an ET.
