Thank you very much blend57 and I completely agree with you.

Why do theories have to be pissing matches? There are things about the AA theory that are way out there, and there are things about the accepted theories that are most believed today that are way out there. Why does either have to be 100% correct? Why can it not be a mix of the two?

Now I'm not one to say I have studied a lot into the AA theory, but on thing that they brought up peaked my interest. I was a granite fabricator and I did things not only like counter tops, but columns, sculptures, pyramids and waves, so when look at a place like puma punku, and look at the precision at their stone work, something doesnt make sense with our current level of understanding.

Stone masons from on making a 90 degree inside corner, they dislike doing it in a counter top and it is always very noticeable and looks like garbage, and we have a plethora of tools to use. Now to inset a box or rectangle shape in a large chunk of granite is damn near impossible, with the tools we have now. These people did it long before then, and HAD to use diamond tools, nothing else does anything to granite, and made 90 degree intersecting corners.

This is almost impossible with the current level of technology nowadays.

Now, do I think it was aliens? I have no idea, but I know what they did is amazing and hard at today's standards, and a couple people with only sand at their disposal where not the ones that did this. There were diamond tools involved and precision works done, more precise than our CNC machines of today.

That's a mystery in and of itself.

I think most people know to take what you see on the history channel with a grain of salt, also you say certain monuments are man made they don't argue that in the show simply suggest that certain ideas, motives, and possibly certain technologies may have been given or shown to the ancients.Just a thought.

These are just your opinions, no hard evidence to back up your arguments against the ancient alien theory.

There is also no hard evidence to support the ancient alien theory.

All we have is speculation. Until something more tangible does show up, the questions we ask will continue to go unanswered.

Just as this is just YOUR opinion with no hard evidence to back it up. There are lots of theories flying around but no absolute proof.

Many scientific "facts" after time end up on the floor to be swept away.

The whole carbon dating "science" has recently been shown to be inaccurate.

In the grand scheme of things, what it comes down to is unless you were there, no one knows for sure what happened, where it happened, or how it happened.

Opinions are like bellybuttons, everyone has one.

Like another posted stated, you can't really debunk Ancient Alien theories, it will persist until these mysteries are solved beyond a shadow of a doubt.

Personally I take the Ancient Aliens shows with a grain of salt but having an open mind I definitly like to see their take on ancient mysteries.

However I strongly considder that ancients have seen extra-terrestials, I think there is plenty of evidence for that.

If you have the facts on your side, it does not matter how many posts there are in opposition. However, i looks like you decided to stay after all; I am glad.

Nor Can you disprove anything based on your interpretation of data.

Completely untrue. There simply is no data on the part of the ancient astronaut apologists, at least no data they have not subjected to gross misinterpretation, or invented whole-cloth, or absolute ignorance.

What thread are you reading? That isn't happening here. However, I understand your desire and need to portray it as such. Instead of wanting to discuss facts and evidence, you want to discuss anything else, in order to insulate your beliefs.

The burden of proof is on all of us to come to a definitive conclusion, not stomp on any theory that battles against what we think we know is true.

That is quite a contradictory statement. If you have evidence to support a conclusion, it is your duty to battle untruths.

The star is Sirius B, which is so far from Earth it is invisible to the naked eye. Yet these cultures had detailed knowledge of it.

As someone mentioned earlier, IssacKoi thoroughly debunked this.

if you were a General, would you take your 5 men into a battle against 5000 enemy soldiers? (not that your my enemy, but its an analogy)

Yes, if I had the equipment and training (facts and evidence) and the enemy soldiers had neither or simply tried to want to dismiss my ability to use the weapons (not having facts or evidence and the use of logical fallacies). One missile can kill millions.
