All of us are pretty much left or right winged as to our views.
I'm presenting this thread for these reasons:
1. Not to convert people BUT
2. Allow ALL to stretch/exercise their imaginations/reasonings and beliefs, as to a
possibility, 'what IF scenerio', as stated in my OP.
Instead of dividing the ranks, I'm trying to see a 'common denominator' between both.
I'm having trouble reconciling the notion of 'lost knowledge'; and with that, the
OOPARTS (Out of place/time Artifacts)
The (proof?) of ancient superior races, rests not on 'discovered monumental cities' (to which man has yet to find), but the left-over tangible clues
that these races have left behind. IMO.
* Possibliity of Ancient Civilizations?
* Where did this knowledge go?
* How can ancient 'spark-plugs' end up in coal-beds - millions of years ago? I trust Science where 'carbon-dating' and other methods are
concerned, however, even scientists are at a loss with ooparts. Speculations and theories abound, but no exact TRUTH that is accepted by
everyone.
There are many races (and tribes) that seem to share a common historical story. Culture, language and even continental divides don't seem to make a
difference. The wording of the story may be slightly altered in contrast, however, the over-all 'theme' remains intact.
i.e.
'Noah/Noe' from the bible
could be the Babylonian 'Gilgamesh'. OR...the 'Flood story', that is prevelant in many societies.
What of the Mayan Calender, which is (more accurate?) than those of today? Where is the 'technolgical means' to which these people learned from?
Perhaps the faiths/beliefs and reasonings deride from the fact we too are recipients of given knowledge from what we deem as superior beings - as in
the:
Cargo Cult?
It is recorded in the bible, that 'something incredible' visited Exekiel.
'Firey spinning wheels'. If one hasn't ever viewed something 'mechanical' or 'other wordly', the description would probably come out something
like Exekiels speech.
