I believe there is an earlier ancient account of a flood, I think in Sumarian(Gilgimesh). I also saw on TV I think, that the great flood story is in many religions, though it is said it did not cover the entire planet.

The most prevalent of all stories in religions across the world (and across time) are stories of a great flood. It is in over 300 religions if I recall. The oldest I believe was the sumerian one, but the way it was translated is kind of decieving. They said a flood destroyed the world, but the word they use for the "world" was actually better translated to "everywhere that humans exist". As humans existed near Iraq and set up camp near the euphrates river around that time, it makes sense, because there was a flood and/or rising sea levels in that area and it likely killed a bunch of people who were living off the coast and relying on it for food like Devilock said.

So when they say the earth was flooded, the really ment that the places where people lived were flooded. In that context, I think we can understand where most of these stories come from, and that like most bible stories it is probably that grain of truth amidst the various tall tales.

This is a book that clearly explains the Alien influence on Earth/Humans. (it's in Romanian but can be translated)

I've only read half of it so far, but I still tend to deny the existence of aliens "SOMEHOW"

They say that there's codified scripts in the bible that clearly explain a future alien invasion and a ship approaching earth that is almost half the size of earth (it explains at the end of the Bible) not sure how much of it is true...tho.

I saw "Prometheus" yesterday. It wasn't as good as I hoped, but I should have expected such. All these modern films are 20% story and 80% computer effects. It was OK. I miss the old days before computer effects. Everything just looks the same.

But it's the prequel to ALIEN(1979). It's nowhere as good as Alien. It takes place in the future, and these archaeologists are finding ancient depictions of a star system, so some big company gets a ship and crew to visit this planet, as these beings are said to be our "creators". The archaeologists want to learn of man's genesis, but there is another agenda going on with the trip's financiers. It was OK, but would have been better I think if it was made in '83.

Does anyone believe that aliens influenced people in the ancient Egypt to build the pyramids? Or did the humans build them?

[sgreger1]

Such a sad part. Good movie too.

Ancient Egyptian society was perfectly capable of building the pyramids and many other massive monuments. And aligning pyramids in a north-south direction was easy since they were aware of the star Polaris which at the time was almost perfectly true north and did not move in the night sky thus having special astrological significance. What would have been really amazing is if they had aligned pyramids with magnetic north. The only influences they needed were their own cultural peculiarities. Aliens shmaliens.

Not only that, but a pyramid is kiddie engineering. That's the easiest way to build something big. A 1000' tower would impress me more.

I'm with you darwin on this one, but how exactly did they build them ......... with bare hands?

Simple machines. Levers, wheels, ramps... There's a lot of ways to get things done without mechanization.

That plus a great deal of slave labor...

that explains it ... but those HUGE blocks of stone how where they actually cut and brought right in the construction site?

that should have been an insane labor

[devilock76]

Ever move a building? I have. Nothing major, about a 20x10 foot shed. We jacked it up, built a simple wood sled under it and rolled it on PVC pipes using a tractor and sweat. In the absence of modern devices a lever, domesticated draft animals, slaves and logs could easily do the same task, even scaled up to a 20 ton rock.

I can imagine... 100,000 men worked over a period of 20 years to build a pyramid -

there's some explanations here, http://www.civilization.ca/cmc/exhib.../egca12e.shtml

thought they say the exact method they used to built the pyramids is still under question .....
