I like OP info, nice sum up. I always knew the ancient existance of UFO in China. The western world is very well clued on the myth, hence the myth
potentially has some notable truth to it especially as to what we have been hearing in the modern age.

All very interesting, but imo, amounts to nothing.
The last Western King to declare himself a Sun God was King Louis XIV of France. We know of course we was just an egotistical Human. Extradordinary for sure, but nothing more.
Cant judge history based on one man's failure...

Myths from around the World are exceptionally different.. unless we assume thousands of alien races decended to earth at approx the same time to give a vast array of "origins" theories, its much safer to assume cultural stories morphed with time and distance.
An account of an event by wittenessed by three people 30 minutes after the event took place would have 3 different versions of the same even but a common theme. (fact not fiction). If the three varsions matched perfectly it would be discounted as contrived.....
Lack of physical evidence never Disproved anything from the earth being round to little invisible lifeforms (bacteria) capable of killing thousands of people ....(the plaque in europe)
It would be far more impressive if the stories were the same, did not directly reflect individual cultures. Many of these ancients's bones still remain in our posession, and nothing extraordinary has ever been found, no weird space crafts or communication tools.
Religions, mythologies and oral tradition are a product of cultural identity.. in an era where the only entertainment was the local story teller, the stories are our first literary stories... but just that. Stories. The sky is so often a part of these stories, imo, because the ancients were very close to the skies.. we are not, our lights pollute the earth, we do not, cannot see what they saw. Not to mention when stories were told, at night, quite often under the sky, the sky is a wonderful prop.
Awesome research, I read and enjoyed every bit of it.. but I could never accept your basic thesis that the first rulers of all civilizations were aliens.

Ha. Good call Skyfloating. Rockpuck it seems that your posts are merely a representation of yourself. Keep up hope and if you're going to believe in people then why not believe in all people, even ancient people.
So perhaps the "flat earth" idea was only popular among peasant populations of Europe during the very darkest of centuries.

Dear Skyfloating,
I thought this has been one of the most interesting threads I have read recently and I also agree, there are huge similarities with different cultures on ancient civilisations about 'Sky Gods' whether human or alien.
Amongst all your research from China to Indonesia, did you uncover anything referenced from Thailand or Cambodia? There are many temples in both countries that are believed to be over 1000 years old. Recently in the Bangkok Post they published an article about a small town called Lamphun with it's temples. Lamphun Temples
Kindest regards,
