Precisely to the East of the city another significant monument looms into view. It is a majestic landmark made of "earth", the soil of the planet from which it rises rises 500 feet above the desert plane. (Ibid., Illustration.# 11) This artificial hill and its terrestrial counterpart have a typological precedent in scripture.
Joshua details the tribes of Israel after they had entered the promised land. God designated the areas where each tribe of Israel would settle. The troops of Rueben, Gad, and the half tribe of Manassah left the army of Israel in Canaan and crossed the Jordan River to their own homeland of Gilead. Before they went across, while still in Canaan, they built a huge earthenmonument for everyone to see, "an altar of grand appearance". Joshua 22:10. This altar was designed after the specifications commanded by God in Exodus 20: 24
Exodus 20: 24
You shall make an altar of earth for Me, and
you shall sacrifice your burnt offerings and
your peace offerings on it, your sheep and your
cattle. In every place in which I cause My name
to be remembered, I will come to you and bless you.
And if you make an altar of stone for Me, you shall
not build them of cut stones. When you swing your
tool on it, you defile it.

What about. It was extra-terrestrials who started our main religions
In the original bibles there is no word "god". The Elohim created man in their image after their likeness. Elohim is a plural word and was later mistranslated into a singular word , god. In old hebrew Elohim means "those who come from the sky"
The start of the book of Ezekeil , to me is pretty clear he had an encounter with a UFO and the people who come out of it.
He said it was the lord.
