Dark_Raven Posted April 29, 2006 Share Posted April 29, 2006 I keep telling you, WE are the 'ancients' for the rest of the galaxy. We have to get off this rock and get busy. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> LOLZ. Humans are genetically enhanced creations of aliens, I believe a combination of ape and alien DNA. Hades was the life of the party. RIP You'll be missed.

Nartwak Posted April 30, 2006 Share Posted April 30, 2006 (edited) I keep telling you, WE are the 'ancients' for the rest of the galaxy. We have to get off this rock and get busy. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> That reminds me of a short story I once read. There was this fleet of aliens that went from planet to planet conquering and whatnot. The twist was that besides intergalactic transport their technology was roughly equivalent to that of the Conquistadors. The story ends when they invade modern day Earth and get shot to ribbons by soldiers with assault rifles. Edited April 30, 2006 by Nartwak Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

taks Posted April 30, 2006 Share Posted April 30, 2006 i never really cared about the orion theory, though i did find it intriguing. more compelling to me is the erosion theory in the area around the sphinx. there's real science in that debate. taks comrade taks... just because.

taks Posted May 1, 2006 Share Posted May 1, 2006 the whole desert thing was due to natural causes, though human influence probably helped, but it couldn't have been much. if there was a society 10-15,000 years ago, they had to be relatively small compared to classical ancient egypt - which was already in a near desert by the time of classical ancient egypt - otherwise we would have found more evidence of their existence. of course, ancient egyptians, the classical ones, could have done a genocide to their predecessors, though i don't think they were really like that... taks comrade taks... just because.

Walsingham Posted May 1, 2006 Share Posted May 1, 2006 Plenty of African cultures (in fact plenty of tribal cultures) practice genocide as a matter of course. Maybe the Egyptians were slaves to whoever and rose up and destroyed their masters so utterly no trace was left. Merely the dry and brooding ruins whispering with sand in the depths of the Sahara...
