Imagine if you will, that the ancient alien's, in it's aptly named theory, were actually a group of humans, dominating the world, opressing their own race.
Humans, with tech like today, hailing from an isolated area. Perhaps the island of Atlantis. Able to fly back to congergate at a whim, and fly out to their kingdomes to dominate lesser humans as gods and kings ruling in whatever manner their hearts desired.
Then, something big happens. Perhaps the great flood, it sinks Atlantis and with it, the elitist source of technology. Was it divine intervention? Was it betrayal?
Whatever it was, It scatteres the elitist, levels out the playing feilds. Humans are finally free, tho they didn't know it. They forget about the "magic." Only stories remain, glorifying gods of old.
Elitist however, kept knowledge of their golden age alive through secret societies. They worked hard to keep their bloodline clean. They worked hard to supress archeological discoveries of ancient technology and hide their dark secret.
In hopes that one day, they can force us back into the dark ages, on the premise of green energy. Where they can rule again from a technocratic authoritarian strong hold, only better and more advanced than before.
While our children's children, forget what tech truly was, how it works, and only know enough to operate it in awe.
End.
Ha. Probably not true, but it was interesting to think about. Id be willing to bet this is a cabalist wet dream! Thats for certain.
I like it. Ever listen to Mysterious Universe? It's a very well done podcast by two very funny and very based Aussies. They talk about stuff like this - aliens, ancient civilizations, bigfoot, psychedelics, reincarnation, etc. They're great.
I'm on board with something similar.
Let's look at carbon and uranium dating and testing. What IS carbon dating?
The meat and sticks of it is this : we've created a chemical process that can tell us how old something is based on the test subject's destruction rate.
What that really means is : we've created a test to prove our theory, and we've created the environment ( sterile lab ) to test said subject.
hmm... what if it's wrong though? What do we possess that's 4.5 million years old that WE KNOW is 4.5 million years old without doing a test that WE created?
So.... what if the "Egyptians" DID build the pyramids, but it's 5 million years OLDER than we think? What if the Yukatan Peninsula asteroid didn't take the dinosaurs out? What if it took US out? 65 million years ago.
Was never ancient aliens, just us. And like you say, knowledge was kept in secret and preserved to things could be passed off they way we currently 'accept' them.
Fascinating topic and one my buds and I regularly get into while buzzed up.
It does seem like things have happened before. When I was young I wondered about the Mark of the Beast and how that could possibly work and who would think of something like that anyway? Someone who knows that it was done before, and knows precisely how and why it should be done now? Maybe.
Definitely plausible. Seems like also: they were genetically modified in various ways (size, longevity, strength, etc) AND they interbred with common man (or atleast the horniest among them, the fallen who spawned the Nephilim)
