While countless theories, calculations and pure guessing says "YES THERE ARE" the simple fact of the matter is "we have no proof for or against there being other sentient life forms in our galaxy or the universe".....or do we? While it is true that mainstream scientists (and government agencies) vehemently deny the presence of other intelligent lifeforms that doesn't mean they don't exist or that no other intelligent races have visited Earth during humanities existence. In fact many people believe that there are multiple alien races visiting our planet routinely and have been doing so for tens of thousands of years.
In this article I will delve into some of the various theories and beliefs among humanity and whenever possible give my personal opinion or belief. I am not, by any means, claiming to be right or know more than anyone else (unless specifically stated as to such). I am merely trying to illustrate the possibilities and tell you why I believe that it is possible.
History of the Human Race
Whether you believe the Earth is a few thousands years old, millions of years old or billions of years old there are few truths that can not be denied, such as:
Every single culture/civilization in Human History that had any form of written (or drawn) language has documented Aliens visiting this planet. Sometimes they were enslaved, others helped but something the people of the time couldn't explain happened to all of the cultures/civilizations on this planet; in the past and present. This includes every religion (religious text) throughout human history. For example both the Bible and Quran describe "a shiny metal object descending from the heavens in a ball of fire" and beings exiting the object and giving Job a message for the Israelites. There are also multiple passages in the Bible, Quran and many other religious texts that talk about "a time before the moon" was in orbit around the Earth.
We know for a fact that there have been at least 13 different bi-pedal humanoid species on Earth in the last few hundred thousand years......but of those only Homo Sapiens (modern day humans) survived. Even weirder is the fact that for all the other bi-pedal hominid species we have fairly extensive evolutionary records (fossils) from their beginning up through their disappearance.....but not for humans. We just appeared out of nowhere and have been virtually unchanged for the entirety of our existence......are we a merger of other bi-pedal races that occurred naturally (and if so why haven't we evolved from that initial merger) or were we created by some deity or alien race (through genetic manipulation)?
Every continent on Earth has Ancient Ruins, Structures and Artifacts that the indigenous people simply could never have created....many of which we can not duplicate or replicate even today. Take for example the Antikythera Device found off the coast of Greece. It was an insanely complicated machine (computer) with thousands of moving parts we believe to have been constructed during the height of the Greek/Roman empires. However, we don't really know what it was built for, who built it or why! Then you have structures like the Great Pyramid that defies all scientific understanding and in some cases the laws of physics. Or how about the stone statues on the Eastern Islands composed of a single massive piece of stone that is not found within 1000's of miles of the Island Chain.
Personally, I believe that the following assumptions/theories bear strong consideration, research and analysis:
Modern Day Humans are way older than currently accepted to be. I believe that modern humans are 300,000+ years old.
Modern Day Humans did not EVOLVE NATURALLY on this planet. I believe that either:
a) We came here from another world that was likely dying....like Mars, Jupiter, Venus or possibly outside our solar system, or
b) We were genetically engineered by an advanced alien race. I do not know or have a strong theory as to whether we were created "in their image" using their DNA or if we are a combination of multiple life forms found on Earth back when we might have been created.I believe that the number of discovered former cultures/civilizations on this planet is much higher than currently known. Meaning I believe there are hundreds (maybe thousands) of Lost Civilization we don't yet know about. I base this on the fact that:
a) Biblical Cities like Sodom and Gamora which were long thought to be myth have been found.
b) Numerous cities reported in Religious Texts and Historical Records that were long considered Myth have been discovered all over Europe, Africa and Asia.
c) Assuming that humanity has been here for 300,000 years any cultures/civilizations that existed closer to the start of the human race would be buried under 100's of feet of ocean, lake, soil, ash, etc. today and would simply be almost "undiscoverable" with current resources and technology.I believe that modern day humans (and the other known bi-pedal hominid species) aren't the first Intelligent Species to exist/live on Planet Earth. This is because:
a) There have been tens of thousands of Out of Place Artifacts discovered all over this planet that date back Millions of years and have 0% chance of being natural.
b) There are structures, objects that were obviously "constructed" all over Earth that either can't be accurately dated or have been dated to long long before modern humans existed. For example a 9 mile long solid (single) piece of stone was recently discovered in the America's. Yes I said a single solid piece of stone that is 9 miles long. No way in hell that is natural. The stone itself has been carbon dated to be millions of years old and even the drawings that adorn the full length of the stone are far older than any known civilization/culture to have existed in the America's.
c) Near perfect human-like foot prints have been found in limestone (and other rock) all over Earth. While this isn't surprising in and of itself what is miraculous is the foot prints date back millions of years and are in the same rock as perfectly preserved dinosaur foot prints.
d) There are cave drawings/art all over this planet that depict humanoid people walking beside, riding, petting/feeding Dinosaurs that have not existed on Earth for millions of years and could not have been known to any ancient race of humans.
As with virtually everything in life there are "always multiple explanations, until one is scientifically proven" and even then sometimes that is "proven not to be the truth" later on as our scientific knowledge expands as does our technological abilities. Having said that, I am painfully aware that at this point in human understanding and development everything I mentioned in this article could be explained by:
- Divine Intervention - God did it all!
- Alien Intervention - an unknown/not proven species (or more) of aliens could have done it all!
- Time Travel - our future selves, or another sentient species that comes to exist on Earth in the future could have developed time travel and travelled back into the past and built ancient monuments, structures, relics and either died out or returned to their time leaving the stuff they created behind
- Non-Linear Time - meaning that time isn't linear like we currently believe but that it wraps around in a circle repeating itself....if this is true stuff that happened 10,000 years ago could have also happened 10 million years ago and could happen again in 10 million years from now. As if your brain hasn't already exploded consider this: If Non-Linear Time is real then all those ancient artifacts, structures, objects could actually be stuff that hasn't even been created yet and because time loops we see it now even though it won't exist for thousands or millions of years into our future!
