    My brother is very christian and have read the bible a lot and he is 100% sure there are a lot of alien evidence in the bible. Besides the fact that the bible was edited many times by kings and popes, the passages he showed me really have some crazy descriptions

    Don’t you find it funny that no one ever claims that buildings built by white peolle were built by aliens?

        Those weren’t really white people. They were the Megolith builders that came before the farmers.

          Ah a “the Fae did it” enjoyer.

          No, Cheddar Man and his people predated the megaliths by 3,000 years. The builders of Stonehenge have a pretty solid remains and DNA profile and we know that they migrated from Anatolia. Also almost certainly intermarried with the descendants of Cheddar Man and Company, but they were literally Caucasian.

          Of course the megaliths werent just Stonehenge, and there probably was a period where you could find two distinct ethnic groups both enjoying raising huge rocks into neat patterns.

        Stonehenge predates the Celtic civilization and religion by over two thousand years.

        Their ancestors, sure.

      Maybe it’s that there’s not many examples of architecture built by white people that seem humanly impossible.

      I’ve heard theories that stone henge was supernatural. (Like the other guy said)

          I am pretty sure that is just a show funded by the US air force. Probably to discredit the real proof.

            Actually it was funded by the wormhole aliens that live near Bajor, and coincidentally they were the ones who built the pyramids.

    “How did they move such massive blocks of stone?”

    “They had whips. They had massive, massive whips.”

      Akcshually:
      In addition to the many unresolved arguments about the construction techniques, there have been disagreements as to the kind of workforce used. The Greeks, many years after the event, believed that the pyramids were built by slave labour. Archaeologists now believe that the Great Pyramid of Giza (at least) was built by tens of thousands of skilled workers who camped near the pyramids and worked for a salary or as a form of tax payment (levy) until the construction was completed, pointing to workers’ cemeteries discovered in 1990. For the Middle Kingdom pyramid of Amenemhat II, there is evidence from the annal stone of the king that foreigners from Canaan were employed.

        People always say they weren’t slaves, and point to a “levy” system, but rarely seem to ask themselves if being conscripted to perform forced labor for the aristocracy is slavery.

    I especially find it weird, because castles and churches exist, too. Sure, they were somewhat further along with technology, when those got built, but it still took a ton of physical labor and at least churches weren’t built out of pure necessity either.

    I like to read what conspiracy theorists post. It is hilarious. This? This is like light beer. Sometimes you seem some truly insane people though.

    I thought I had seen everything. Then I found a guy who said that the Sun is fake and was made in 1971 courtesy of the Freemasons. As predicted by Shakespeare when he wrote the Bible. Which he did in English because English is a magical language that was invented by Angels.

    Listen, I love ancient aliens stuff; it’s fun to speculate about. It sucks that people get fixated on the pyramids or Nazca lines though. There are other mysterious things that aren’t as easily explained by, “they used a bunch of slaves and some logs to stack stones”, why do people get so hung up on the pyramids?

      Right

      There’s tons of legit stories and things that are a bit more interesting. Like Gobleki Tepe, or the creation story of the Ojibwa Indians.

        I just looked up the Ojibwa Indians and while I tend to try and be respectful of native/aboriginal religions, that, uh, that’s a pretty interesting story. Like, for those of y’all who haven’t looked it up, you should. It’s… Interesting.

        It’s also fascinating to me because I’ve had a pet speculation that I like to entertain about “Xeno Christ”, which originated from my observation that the creation story in the book of Genesis is very similar to how we believe the universe came to be (scientifically speaking). It’s not a perfect 1:1, but if you use a little bit of creative license (like dinosaurs=birds, 'cause they kinda were), then it gets really close. The fact that the Ojibwa creation story seems to describe what we’d consider aliens kinda aligns with my speculation that many ancient religions were established as a message to humanity that was meant to persist as long as possible. Basically a mind virus that instructed people on how they should conduct themselves in order to be accepted by the greater galaxy/universe.

        Imo, at the very least Christianity makes more sense when interpreted that way. The rules about what you can or can’t eat, what you wear, homosexuality, etc are more reasonable if you think of them not as a deity who cares about whether or not you stick your dick into another man’s butt, but instead instructions that attempt to warn humans away from behavior that’d potentially lead to parasites and STDs.

        The concept of heaven and hell makes sense from the standpoint of establishing staying power as well as a way of discouraging immorality or potentially harmful behavior. It discourages certain behaviors because going to hell is a Big Deal. It also has staying power because, unlike an immediate threat, you can’t break a rule and then find out that there’s no one enforcing the rule. Additionally, by not using a karma system (what goes around comes around) but instead promising punishment after death, you solve the “billionaire problem” aka, “Zuckerberg is evil, why is he one of the richest men on the planet”. Finally, it gives a reason to continue in your beliefs and spread them as far as you can, because we as humans are (typically) empathetic and none of us want to see a favorite relative go to hell when we’re going to heaven or vice versa.

        On a side note: it’s also kinda interesting that, according to the Objiwa story, one of the miigi was so spiritually powerful that they accidentally killed everyone in their presence. Kinda like how God is described in the old testament. Makes you wonder sometimes.

        Tbh I don’t know if I actually believe any of it, but it’s fun to play with the idea.

        Edit: damn, people here thinking humans had health classes and knowledge about microbiology 4000-something years ago. There’s the real ancient aliens shit LOL. Also, the Bible banned sodomy in general, which was defined as anything that wasn’t for the purpose of reproduction. That includes a man having anal or oral sex with his wife.

    I have tried to drive people away from watching History Channel due to what it instills in people’s heads. It has a load of Anglo supremacist propaganda, especially USA. They have a program they run on it for Indians, so India gets their 1% share of respect, and they feel they are together with the Anglo “tribe”, and not like those Egyptian/Chinese “aliens”.
