I had thought about this a few times, and said to myself why not. Now first things first, we could of been genetically altered from ape by some "Builder" species, or we came from mars, and lost our knowledge due to wars, or maybe the theory of evolution is actually right.

Anyways, back to the topic. For all we know we could have some kinda human like race out there that have the same genetics, and geology as earth. The reason as to why I'm saying this is cause they could litteraly studied our entire evolution from the very first tribe to a civilization, then advancing in social structure and technology, so on and so forth.

Now knowing advanced civilization that probably has been technology advanced for maybe a few thousand years, or even much older, let say 100,000 year old civilization could use our technological breakthough or events as otherwise history lesson. Im saying cause they probably had many wars within their society or against another species and as we all know war destroys history. Not only that I have a hard time just trying to 2000 yrs worth of history.

For example: So the invention of a blacksmith forge, would make them wonder when their species was at a point of time going thru the same technological path, and they could dig in their museum and say "Hey, had the exact same thing". It would make them interested in learning how the technological evoultion of their technology came to be.

Not only that, if we are exactly similar to an advanced race psychological wise, we could share similar historical events.

I just wanted to get this out in the open.

That's quite a lot of nonsense crammed into a single post.
Maybe you live in the matrix? Maybe the "universe" we experience is the colon of a giant?

...or the Earth is a giant computer whose sole purpose is to find the answer to the Ultimate Question of Life, the Universe, and Everything (the answer to that, of course, being "42").

Well don't listen to the naysayers, I think your idea has merit.

Imagine if we could somehow create homo erectus and study how he actually migrated across the lands. There's only so much we can know from studying fossils and artifacts.

To actually witness this in a controlled environment would greatly expand our knowledge of how we came to be. Its certainly possible that a very advanced alien culture is experimenting with the same type of thing.

Maybe they are trying to figure out their long forgotten past by watching us.

Great Post!

Actually alot things are based of nature. Take a look at a Digger arm. It has hydraulics( Muscles) and a skeleton( a skeleton). If u look at it, it looks exactly like a humans arm.

Also a rudder is does acts like a tail fin btw.

It twas a fish.

aka common sense.

Our nature is not an accurate comparison for the idea that you're proposing. Your idea is based on an extremely advanced species, backtracking 100,000 years.
