Could extra terrestrial technology be responsible for human advancement?

[Northern Monkey]

Think about it.
Human civilisation including agriculture and religious worship has been tracked back to possibly twelve thousand years ago.When as far as we know so far we advanced from being cave people after the last ice age to a functioning civilisation.
Within the last one hundred or so years we have gone from horses and carriages to - machine guns,Huge metal ships,quantum theory,cars,radio,film,television,nuclear weapons,landing on the moon to IPhones,A.I and holographic images.
One hundred years is nothing in the grand scheme of earth history.
We’ve advanced exponentially within a minute amount of time.
Could humans have discovered technology that gave us a leap in advancement?

Yes Humans can go Forward
and Invent so much more
Some Humans use other Human plans
and take it more down the road, years later.


Holographic images
are expensive
we need that on Skype
but its finding the right mass protection
design box.

Microchips were the catalyst for a lot of advancements.
instead of messing around with ovens, scientists could do research

Yes it was the Allspark. Have you not seen Transformers?

Nah, Beast Wars is the best version.

Why did they miss out Falkirk then?

The only thing that makes me think that we didn't learn stuff from extra-terrestrials is that terrible harm our advancement has cost the planet, and is still costing the planet. We're doomed if we don't learn to care for our own world and control our population.

They have terraforming technology that can reverse any damage we do in a few months, and their plan is to have us wipe ourselves out, turn the planet into a utopia, and then move in without ever having to fire a single shot :omgno:.

Playing the long game, then.

it was the world wars and the space race that initiated the exponential leaps in technology. No-one before put that level of investment in to research.

[user104658]

it was the world wars and the space race that initiated the exponential leaps in technology. No-one before put that level of investment in to research.The world wars catalysed by alien infiltrators, and the meeting on the moon where the treaty agreeing that we would use our borrowed alien technology responsibly was signed, you mean. Obviously the meeting had to be held on the moon, for dual reasons. For one to trigger a space race that would show which human tribe was most ready for the knowledge. And two (of course) because earth gravity is a painful endurance for the tall, slender bodies of our alien benefactors.

If I had to guess.

I think this is actually the truth.I saw something that said nearly all the different technologies in modern mobile phones came from tech developed for cold war weapons.Including microchips,GPS etc.

But what if technology has also been taken from the Roswell craft and other ufo’s?
Some of the things sighted in recent years have defied current technology that we know about.One very recently was calculated as going around 7,200mph.

The truth is out there.

[Northern Monkey]

Not to mention Nicola Tesla’s missing files.Who knows what could have been in there.
Maybe time travel?

[thesheriff443]

We are a grain of sand in the desert of time

If Earth is destroyed by the human race it will be no different to the millions of other planets that are dead and cannot support life.

Maybe it will be aliens that visit earth with a disease or weapons that wipe us out.

I love thinking about stuff like this..I went through a kind of obsessed phase where I was convinced that aliens visited us when the likes of the great pyramids were built and thats how they are so...good. Then found this apparent treaty stuff signed by some president about the greys or something..

[bots]

woooo welcome back

Hi :p

[Mystic Mock]

I've learned to not be surprised at anything these days.

If Iceland can beat England during the Euros then anything is possible.

Good to have you back!

The night i made this thread i’d actually got hammered and binge watched Ancient Aliens back to back. :laugh:

I’m surprised the op actually made sense tbh.

There are some wild theories in that show which you have to take with a pinch of salt but it don’t half get you thinking.

[Northern Monkey]

Speaking of the pyramids,What are peoples theories on how all those stone blocks were cut?
The Egyptians were supposed to have used primitive chisels and axes.People have tried this on limestone blocks and got nowhere.Maybe only inches and the tools broke very quickly.
What about the big hard granite blocks inside?

Most likely they were built using specifically designed tools that were more advanced than we think, but archaeological evidence of these tools / techniques hasn't survived.

You’d think they’d have found atleast some evidence of these tools at the workers town nearby though.They even knew what food the workers ate.But no evidence of these advanced tools?

:laugh:

Stone is way too heavy for space flight.

Maybe they were actually energy harnessing power stations to power the city.

[Northern Monkey]

Could they have actually not been built by Egyptians at all,but inherited from a long lost Ancient civilisation thousands of years earlier?
Civilisation was reset during the iceage but remnants of technology still remained and restarted the modern civilisation?

So many questions.

[bots]

I think there will have been civilisation resets, but I don't think they provided any huge advances. The reason being that it takes multiple advances in completely unrelated fields before real progress is made. Thats also the reason that an alien artifact or one sent through time would make little to no difference.

The Great Sphinx of Egypt (at Giza)

Many people know me best for my work on the Great Sphinx of Giza, Egypt. The Great Sphinx sits near the Great Pyramid on the western bank of the Nile, outside of modern Cairo. According to standard Egyptological thinking, the Great Sphinx was carved from the limestone bedrock on the orders of the Old Kingdom Pharaoh Khafre around 2500 BCE.

In 1990 I first traveled to Egypt with John Anthony West (for background information see Forgotten Civilization and Origins of the Sphinx), with the sole purpose of examining the Great Sphinx from a geological perspective. I assumed that the Egyptologists were correct in their dating, but soon I discovered that the geological evidence was not compatible with what the Egyptologists were saying. On the body of the Sphinx, and on the walls of the Sphinx Enclosure (the pit or hollow remaining after the Sphinx’s body was carved from the bedrock), I found heavy erosional features that I concluded could only have been caused by rainfall and water runoff. The thing is, the Sphinx sits on the edge of the Sahara Desert and the region has been quite arid for the last 5000 years. Furthermore, various structures securely dated to the Old Kingdom show only erosion that was caused by wind and sand (very distinct from the water erosion). To make a long story short, I came to the conclusion that the oldest portions of the Great Sphinx, what I refer to as the core-body, must date back to an earlier period (at least 5000 BCE, and my latest research now points to the end of the last ice age, circa 10,000 BCE), a time when the climate was very different and included more rain.

Many people have said to me that the Great Sphinx cannot be so old, in part because the head is evidently a dynastic Egyptian head and the dynastic period did not start until about 3000 BCE. In fact, if you look at the current Great Sphinx you may notice that the head is actually too small for the body. It is clear to me that the current head is not the original head. The original head would have become severely weathered and eroded. It was later re-carved, during dynastic times, and in the re-carving it naturally became smaller. Thus, the head of the Great Sphinx is not the original head. In fact, the Sphinx may not have originally been a sphinx at all. Perhaps it was a lion – actually the latest evidence suggests it was originally a lioness.

https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/stargate/images/f/f3/Pyramid_ship.JPG:nono: the pyramids in Stargate are not actual ships themselves, they're sort of landing pads for the pyramid-shaped ships, which land over the top of them. E.g. The pyramid on Abydos in the movie is there before Ra's ship arrives (and after it leaves).
