Did ancient astronauts visit Earth?
Yes: 4 [50%]
No: 3 [37%]
Maybe: 1 [12%]
UFOs, diversity of the world's mythology, literary figures [Frankensteins, Draculas], bad science, science fiction, God--all represent something that provides a belief in the unknown, comfort, and in some cases salvation. It can also demean man's accomplishments and potential. Man is quite intelligent and hasn't even reached the plateau of knowledge and skills and conceptual formulations of ones own existence and position in the universe.
The visitations by ancient astronauts is a desire to lessen the feeling of loneliness...of some hope in that they may have left some valuable secrets behind, or will return and save us from ourselves and a dying planet...cure diseases, eliminate poverty, see the face of God. Is it really unconceivable that the pyramids were built by mankind's intellect and ingenuity...did aliens really assist? I don't think so. Face it, there isn't one item of physical evidence that would substantiate alien visitors. Just because an event or object cannot be explained doesn't mean that its antecedent is alien. It is a matter of faith and a wish that things would be different. Like Antoine De Saint-Exupery said..."The meaning of things lies not in the things themselves...but in our attitude towards them".

- The Pleiades And Ancient Civilizations
Abstract:In the ancient Egypt seven goddesses, represented by seven cows, composed the celestial herd that provides the nourishment to her worshippers. This herd is observed in the sky as a group of stars, the Pleiades, close to Aldebaran, the main star...
- Persephone [Περσεφονηία]...change Of Seasons
Persephone symbolic/mythological natural explanation of physical phenomenon, bringing about the change of seasons as would be fitting since Fall has just begun. Sure, there are scientific explanations for the change of seasons but it is always soothing...
- Conspiracies...diehard Myth Makers
There is a demand for a sound epistemology of events in the universe but alas a short fall of human formulation or comprehension of such events will fall into a viable metaphysics and the cloudy realm of conspiracy theories. "A nation of conspiracy...
- Ufos And Foreign Invasions [earthly Kind]
Now would this be some sort of subterfuge to perpetuate the study of the potential for UFOs in the sense of alien visitation? "Unidentified Flying Threats" by Nick Pope July 29th, 2008 The New York Times ON the afternoon of Nov. 7, 2006, pilots and airport...
