Just my own theory, don't hate me pls!

POV: someone has been watching too much history channel

Ah yes, the ultra-modern hypothesis that ancient people were unsophisticated and stupid, and therefore inferior. Makes me roll my eyes every time.

They were just less advanced. At that time space and stuff wasn’t a thing. They either thought the earth was in the center and the sun and moon went around it, or didn’t think about it at all. So the idea of aliens also didn’t exist to them, so they had to fill in the blanks

"They were just less advanced." Less technologically advanced does not equal intellectually inferior to modern people. It is a remarkably dim view of ancient people to assume they were stupider just because they don't have the shiny toys we have, which really is to assume we are superior because we know how to harness electricity. I don't think we're any smarter or stupider than ancient people; we just have more material stuff, and I have a hunch there are more people in the year 2022 who believe in earnest that the earth is a flat disc than there were 5,000 years ago, and that not one of those people has ever been hungry in their lives.

They were not stupider. Things had just not been discovered. They didn’t know much about outer space at all

yo this is actually not bad... i like this theory. or maybe, just some drunko had a hallucination, or someone got high w/o realizing, OR a heat mirage!

Random fact: The Oracle of Delphi used to burn a special plant and inhale the fumes before giving a vision. What would the odds of her "Visions" just being drug-induced hallucinations because she was high?

Yeah, Jesus is just Heresay. Science proves it to be bullcrap

Shut up

Not an always sunny fan huh

Never watched it.

Чеs.

yeah, but they did that with people that animals they hadnt seen before, outsiders with a different skin tone, and natural events. Almost everything was a f**king god. You pull a quarter out of your ear, you're a god now

Yeah, this especially applies to Egypt

marvel did that

Haha, wow I honestly didn't expect my comments to blow up like this. I actually expected people to comment nasty things about me or something, but not start a debate.

Yeah, I just guessed random numbers

I’m a firm scientific formula nut ok

The entire plot of stargate

It’s a bad theory, because it is fundamentally unfalsifiable.
There is no way to test it.

Not exactly. Yes, there is no way to accurately test this, but there a huge amount of evidence pointing to this. For example, the ancient city of Petra located in Jordan, has incredible structure and is very stable even after thousands of years. How did they do this without modern tools and technology? Aliens might have come down to earth to show them how. Another example, the Hopi Indians were far more advanced than all other Indian tribes. They would carve boulders hollow for their homes. When you ask their elders how they learned it, they say, and I quote, "the sky people showed us".
Go watch Ancient Aliens on history Channel. Maybe you could learn a thing or two.

Edit:only season 1 shows actual theories, the other seasons are garbage.

Dude, any theory that is unfalsifiable is, to that extent, a bad theory. You may as well flap your hands in the air and say ‘gawd did it,’ like some credulous revival tent con artist.
Additionally, these “Aliens did it” pseudoscientific “theories” completely dismiss the skill, tenacity, dedication, imagination, and raw inventiveness of human beings. That Ancient Aliens garbage infantilizes humanity, removes our agency, and frankly turns your brain to mush.

Machu picchu. It is a stone configuration precisely cut and was made thousands of years ago. Not a tool shed or a tool at the site left behind; the whole thing has been excavated and it doesn't make any sense that there is no tool or tool shed to store them in. And even with the most expensive diamond cutting precision stone cutter and the best stones math in the world, we still can't recreate it. "Aliens did it." It is a phrase that historians use when they cannot explain how something is done, such as Machu Picchu. So, the question is, does anyone have a better explanation rather than aliens did it?

Stone is not “smithed.”
It is cut, chipped, ground, flaked, knapped, and in a variety of other ways ‘worked,’ but it is not “smithed.”

So you're gonna make fun of my Grammer and not respond to my question? Smooth way to get out of it and still look kind of good.
