Truth? No I don't believe it, I think lots of people don't realise how sophisticated early man was and thinking they couldn't possibly have achieved some of the things they did find ways to attribute it to other wordly beings. | |||

"It is certainly possible that a species far more advanced than us bought us here many thousands of years ago and have kept a close eye on us ever since . I'm not saying that happened but it's possible ." Many things are possible. I haven't seen any evidence to suggest that alien intervention is probable. | |||

Well if your in the northern half of Britain then 12,000 years ago you'd have been under a 2 mile thick glacier along with most of the northern hemisphere, this meant we were connected to Europe (brexit that  ) via no North sea or English channel, the world would have looked might different,I suspect just like today most civilisations lived next to the coast or major River?.
Theres some evidence to suggest that those glaciers melted rather rapidly (probably from a meteor or comet impact) the resulting floods quite possibly washed away many many more civilisations than we suspect. | |||

There is some evidence of ancient cave drawings depicting strange crafts and even stranger looking creatures . But what they mean is anybody's guess. You may well be right . Unfortunately we will never know ( not in this generation anyway ) | |||

I'm not being argumentative I genuinely don't know what the evidence is." It's all in the TV show. There's a lot of evidence that's been interpreted as evidence of aliens and a lot of it makes sense. I'm not saying I believe it all but some of it is very plausible | |||

Yes there's evidence of these people but a lot of it has been altered and watered down by the rulers of the time and whoever has translated the texts etc. Like a really long game of Chinese whispers "Ok it’s watered down but even watered down evidence is better than 0 evidence like aliens, literally 0 evidence of other beings coming to our planet for the thousands of years we’ve been here. Closest thing is they may have helped build the Egypt pyramids and even that’s highly unlikely | |||

"I Googled whether I could give blood and ended up realising I'm actually a descendent of ancient aliens. Who knew eh. I'm inclined to believe it's down to mutation more than an intervention, though." . I'm inclined to agree but I wouldn't rule out that we were genetically altered by intelligence rather than random chance, the outcome is still the same either way. | |||

"I don't get how we went from basic aircraft and technology and in 20 years we're on the moon. I reckon they've seen the nukes going off and have come to keep an eye on us before we wipe ourselves out. " I'd say those leaps in technology are unfortunately down to war. Whenever there's a major conflict, technology takes huge leaps forwards. "Necessity is the mother of invention." C | |||

I recently watched a documentary where actual Nasa scientists admitted they had 'lost' the technology to do so. Rheir are many other reasons im doubtful that this actually happened, but again i try to be open minded. | |||

"more plausible than religion ^ Spot on . Need i say more ." Some biblical quotes to consider: And after He had said these things, He was lifted up while they were looking on, and a cloud received Him out of their sight. 10 And as they were gazing intently into the sky while He was departing, behold, two men in white clothing stood beside them; 11 and they also said, "Men of Galilee, why do you stand looking into the sky? This Jesus, who has been taken up from you into heaven, will come in just the same way as you have watched Him go into heaven." (Acts 1:9-11 NASB) As I looked, behold, a stormy wind came out of the north, and a great cloud, with brightness around it, and fire flashing forth continually, and in the midst of the fire, as it were gleaming metal. And from the midst of it came the likeness of four living creatures. And this was their appearance: they had a human likeness, but each had four faces, and each of them had four wings. I saw a wheel on the earth beside the living creatures, one for each of the four of them. As for the appearance of the wheels and their construction: their appearance was like the gleaming of beryl. […] And when the living creatures went, the wheels went beside them; and when the living creatures rose from the earth, the wheels rose. (Ezekiel 1.4-6, 15-16, 19) Again I lifted my eyes and saw, and behold, a flying scroll! And he said to me, “What do you see?” I answered, “I see a flying scroll. Its length is twenty cubits, and its width ten cubits.” (Zechariah 5.1-2) When man began to multiply on the face of the land and daughters were born to them, the sons of God saw that the daughters of man were attractive. And they took as their wives any they chose. Then the Lord said, “My Spirit shall not abide in man forever, for he is flesh: his days shall be 120 years.” The Nephilim were on the earth in those days, and also afterward, when the sons of God came in to the daughters of man and they bore children to them. These were the mighty men who were of old, the men of renown. (Genesis 6.1-4) Interpret each as you will. But seems religion and the possibility of aliens visiting the earth could be closely linked? | |||

"Watching on tv, really anyone believe this stuff?" I do not believe in ancient aliens or any religion. Ancient / great civilisations will have fallen / disappeared for various reasons. I suspect that war, disease, famine and other environmental factors, will have played a large part in their disappearances. Nita | |||

Then the Lord said, “My Spirit shall not abide in man forever, for he is flesh: his days shall be 120 years.” The Nephilim were on the earth in those days, and also afterward, when the sons of God came in to the daughters of man and they bore children to them. These were the mighty men who were of old, the men of renown. (Genesis 6.1-4) Interpret each as you will. But seems religion and the possibility of aliens visiting the earth could be closely linked?

"more plausible than religion ^ Spot on . Need i say more . Some biblical quotes to consider: And after He had said these things, He was lifted up while they were looking on, and a cloud received Him out of their sight. 10 And as they were gazing intently into the sky while He was departing, behold, two men in white clothing stood beside them; 11 and they also said, "Men of Galilee, why do you stand looking into the sky? This Jesus, who has been taken up from you into heaven, will come in just the same way as you have watched Him go into heaven." (Acts 1:9-11 NASB) As I looked, behold, a stormy wind came out of the north, and a great cloud, with brightness around it, and fire flashing forth continually, and in the midst of the fire, as it were gleaming metal. And from the midst of it came the likeness of four living creatures. And this was their appearance: they had a human likeness, but each had four faces, and each of them had four wings. I saw a wheel on the earth beside the living creatures, one for each of the four of them. As for the appearance of the wheels and their construction: their appearance was like the gleaming of beryl. […] And when the living creatures went, the wheels went beside them; and when the living creatures rose from the earth, the wheels rose. (Ezekiel 1.4-6, 15-16, 19) Again I lifted my eyes and saw, and behold, a flying scroll! And he said to me, “What do you see?” I answered, “I see a flying scroll. Its length is twenty cubits, and its width ten cubits.” (Zechariah 5.1-2) When man began to multiply on the face of the land and daughters were born to them, the sons of God saw that the daughters of man were attractive. And they took as their wives any they chose. Then the Lord said, “My Spirit shall not abide in man forever, for he is flesh: his days shall be 120 years.” The Nephilim were on the earth in those days, and also afterward, when the sons of God came in to the daughters of man and they bore children to them.

Indeed this is something Ancient aliens mentions a lot especially the Indian manuscripts. "Utter bollocks! The vast majority of the Bible is imagery and symbolism not factual, so that and the fact that it's been rewritten umpteen times by people with a vested interest it's basically not worth the paper it's written on! | |||

"Something happened around 12,000 years ago that left an imprint on the human psyche,a catastrophic event that wiped much from the earth. I don't think ancient history is a very settled subject but I think there's sufficient evidence in evolution to suggest humans have been here quite awhile longer Like this please expand. Well if your in the northern half of Britain then 12,000 years ago you'd have been under a 2 mile thick glacier along with most of the northern hemisphere, this meant we were connected to Europe (brexit that ) via no North sea or English channel, the world would have looked might different,I suspect just like today most civilisations lived next to the coast or major River?.
Theres some evidence to suggest that those glaciers melted rather rapidly (probably from a meteor or comet impact) the resulting floods quite possibly washed away many many more civilisations than we suspect."ice ages are far more frequent than just that one. sea levels have risen and fallen throughout time, the evidence of sea creatures fossils found hundreds of metres above sea level and ancient civilisations remains found below sea. the changes were so slow that people had time to relocate. the only major historical flood is the one that took place around 5600BC and created the black sea. the earlier flood that created the Mediterranean is thought to have taken place far too long ago to have affected humans. human intelligence hasn't evolved only our understanding and ability to manufacture technology has increased exponentially over the millenia through human innovation and not extraterrestrial interventions. I would imagine that had extraterrestrials have visited earth and interacted with humans there would be tangible evidence carried down in religious texts or monuments. | |||

"It is certainly possible that a species far more advanced than us bought us here many thousands of years ago and have kept a close eye on us ever since . I'm not saying that happened but it's possible ." If that were true, then humans would have an entirely different genetic make-up to the rest of the flora and forna of this planet, right? | |||

"How do you explain the missing link??" It's probably down the back of the sofa Which in turn was swallowed in sediment and rock under the new sea called the Mediterranean | |||

How do you explain the missing link??" You have suggested that humans were brought here from somewhere else, if that were the case, then we would be entirely genetically different from the rest of the plants and animals on this planet, but we are not. We share something like 30% of our DNA with daffodils. Therfore your theory that humans were introduced to this planet by a 3rd party makes no sense at all. | |||
