    I read an article that summarized a research paper, which indicated that there was a branch of the Nile that ran right along the base of all of the pyramids, that has dried up in the last two or 3,000 years.

    I've also gone down the YouTube rabbit hole of guys demonstrating how they moved and lifted. Similarly, weighted rocks with ancient Egyptian technology that didn't emanate from the gamma quadrant.

    Don't bite my head off, but maybe aliens didn't come down from the planet Zoltar? Call me a skeptic...

    I saw that article as well. Interesting stuff.

    Speaking as an alien, why would we waste our time on those things?

    I think because it's a secret beacon that summons the alien race back to the Earth?

    Either that or a bunch of slaves built those things. I don't know.

    I've often thought:

    What's more likely. Aliens crossed light years of space?

    Or,

    some lost civilization here on earth that we have no knowledge of went underground during the Ice Age did all kinds of things that we don't yet understand?

    Maybe they're still there? Here?

    Makes as much or maybe more sense.

    I think that one way ancient pre-humans and humans communicated was to draw pictures. The 50,000 year old pictures on cave walls that tried to capture the spirits of animals have survived. If we ever meet advanced interstellar life maybe through art we can communicate through that art before they rub us out.

    If an alien race is sophisticated and advanced enough to travel light years to find other habitable planets, we're probably going to be eradicated so they can have this planet.

    Female flying lizards with purses. Were fine if they show up in the winter time.

    Scientists have made some adjustments to the Drake Equation which calculates the odds of civilized beings on other planets.
