2004: Is God an Alien?

Starting Off

This essay is loosely akin to Eric von Daniken‘s “Chariots of Gods“, as it has served to provide with the necessary details of the past that aren’t easy to come by. Chances are, the theory(ies) being presented here won’t fit into your regular school of thought, therefore you are encouraged to read this article with an open mind for the proper understanding of what is being implied.

Is there Intelligent Life out there?

Through a small telescope, a small region of the sky shows us about 2 million stars. On average, it is estimated that there are about 10²⁰ stars. There may be even more out there. If we say that the conditions for life are around one in a thousand stars, we have 10¹⁴ stars. If one in a thousand of these have an atmosphere suitable for life, we get 10¹¹. And if one in a thousand of these have produced life, we have 100 million. Take one in a thousand of these as planets that have developed some form of intelligent life, and we get 100,000 planets. We could keep reducing the probability of existence of intelligent life out there, and still reach 200!

One of the basic assumptions of this theory is the assumption that extraterrestrial life is a reality, and this is reiterated in evidence being presented again and again here.

Now, we constantly make the mistake of assuming that life must exist, develop and flourish in conditions exactly like ours. Yet on this planet of ours, we have anaerobic bacteria: these live in environments that possess no oxygen. Germs have also been found in the lethal water that surrounds a nuclear reactor. Experiments that recreated the conditions of Jupiter were also seen to have supported life. Some bacteria live in volcanoes, some eat stones and some produce iron. The point being made here is that life can exist in any condition. An alien civilization out there might consider their conditions to be the ideal one for sustaining life.

When Spaceships Landed on Earth

Jules Verna described a trip around the world in 80 days. Nowadays, it takes 90 minutes for an astronaut to do that. In those days, his ideas were considered to be pure science fiction. Yet, not only have we proven that false, we’ve outdone it. Ideas of today may be scoffed, yet some of them do eventually become a reality. This is one of the unfortunate tendencies we seem to maintain in all times. Sooner or later, man will have conquered space, and we will have conquered Mars, then the Solar System, and perhaps distant stars.

Now, let us assume that a spaceship leaves Earth to another planet. If the ship were traveling fast enough, then time would slow down for the crew. 10 years would pass on the ship, whereas 100 may have gone by back home on Earth.

The ship lands on a planet, inhabited by a population of creatures in the state of development that Earth was 8000 years ago. What do the primitives think of these strange visitors coming in large roaring ships? They close their eyes, and face the ground fearing these “Gods.” The Gods have come to visit them! The crew would study these inhabitants, pick up their language and would be able to communicate with them. Priests from the tribe would approach them to pay homage and offer gifts. No amount of explanation would deter any of the primitives from the notion that these are Gods.

Our crew would also teach the primitives some of the basic values of civilization. Interbreeding among them (perhaps by ‘choosing’ women) would lead to a generation that’s actually a few generations ahead in intelligence and abilities. The crew would eventually leave, perhaps with a promise of return. Back on that planet, the saga would continue. They will write stories, erect statues, drawings, temples…

The reason this is being explained is because it too is relevant to this article, as you will see ahead.

This Unexplained World

Shifting focus back to our own planet now. Generally when a certain point of mystery in our past is raised, or questions regarding the history of something, the scholars will tell us what happened, in so and so way. And that will get accepted, without much thinking on our part. But there are some things on this planet that are simply too weird for an explanation, and are hence not addressed by these ‘scholars.’ Here is a small list below, you may do a search to read more on it:

Piri Reis Maps found in Topkapi Palace. This was found in the possession of a Turkish Navy Admiral. It was a map of the world, showing even North and South America and even Antarctica if the ice caps were to be removed. However, the map was seemingly distorted. A startling discovery showed that projecting the map onto a sphere would produce an exact view of how the world would appear if it were seen from a certain distance in space. How did our ancestors get a hold of this?
Straight geometrical lines, some intersect and form trapezoids, in Nazca, Peru. And they’re not even roads, because they end abruptly.
Tiahuanaco is a city teeming with mysteries. Here, archaeologists founds an accurate calendar that gave the equinoxes, astronomical seasons and the positions of the moon at every hour. This is from 27,000 years ago. Also at Tiahuanaco, one can find huge sandstone blocks with accurate stonework on it, in seemingly impossible ways. There is also a Great Idol at the Old Temple, and the Gate of the Sun shows ‘flying Gods’ on it. Tiahuanaco also holds a legend of flying ships from the stars.
Sacsahuaman: Giant Monolith, exquisitely carved and standing on its head.
In Ur, where the worlds oldest books exist, we find stories of “Great Gods” that come in flying ships.
Sumerians were one of the earliest civilizations that apparently appeared out of nowhere. Not only that, they were an advanced civilization: They had advanced astronomy, and estimates on the rotation of the moon that differ from todays calculations by 0.4 seconds. Also found was a calculation with a 15 digit result. The Greeks at the peak of their civilization never went above 10,000. The Sumerians, apparently, also had huge spans of life. They have documented 10 kings that ruled for a total of 456,000 years. The Sumerians also relate a story of how the Gods had returned after the Great Flood. Some Akkadian tablets show Gods connected with helmets and stars. What’s strange is that around the stars are planets of various sizes.

When evidence such as the ones mentioned above are brought into light, they are usually dismissed. Either the ancient civilizations were extremely advanced (and we’ve lost all their technology), or they had active imaginations.

Yet the existence of these cannot be denied. Just about every culture, somewhere or the other, presents us with the same cave drawings, the same legends, the same flying Gods. Why? If it is indeed all lies, how did all of them come up with the same hair brained idea?

Is God an Astronaut?

The Bible is a book full of contradictions. Go to a library, or search online for the following passages:

Genesis 1:26 – who is “our”? Why is God talking like a group?

Genesis 6:1-2 – Who are the sons of God?

Genesis 6:4 – this describes mighty men known as the sons of God who mated with humans. Just about all the ancient books describe these giants. Keep in mind that if aliens had come from a planet with lower gravity, they would be extremely tall, and sport large chests. Similar to the giants.

Genesis 19:1-28 – describes or relates some sort of a catastrophe countdown, wherein the ‘angels’ of God tell the prophet “Lot” to hurry and get out of the city, into the mountains, and not to look at the explosion. Why the rush? Why a countdown?

In the Old Testament, Ezekiel describes in detail a visit by these Gods, and refers to fire from the vehicle, and gives a description of what we would see as an all-terrain vehicle. Apparently Ezekiel was so impressed by these that he kept describing the ship and vehicle over and over again.

Exodus 15:10, Exodus 25:40 – Noah was given the exact instructions and measurements for building the Ark, down to the inch. Also, it was described to be electrically charged, because things like sparks and flashes were said to be there. Was that perhaps a means of communication with the God?

The flood epic isn’t confined to the pages of the Bible. It exists in just about every culture. You can read a few of these flood myth stories here. How did all of them come up with the same flood story? Why?

Was it perhaps that the aliens were attempting to breed an intelligent race of humans, and were attempting to destroy the experiments that they weren’t satisfied with?

The Chariots from the Heavens

A Clay tablet found in Kuyunjik, belonging to the Assyrian King Ashurbanipal holds a huge story. The story involves interbreeding, the development of these humans and an encounter plus a travel in a spaceship as well. The story also includes the flood. This same story is present in Babylonian texts and in Tiahuanaco as well.

What were these aliens trying to do with us? There was, to some extent, interaction, yet they stayed above us. We revered them, as Gods, while the whole time, they may have just been playing God.

The Eskimos have stories of Gods that brought forth the tribes of today. The Mayans have the same legend, and it’s called “Popol Vuh.” In addition, the Gods knew of a round Earth. How did they know? Not only the Mayans, but the Sumerians, Assyrians, Babylonians and Egyptians have similar stories.

The Mahabharata is the largest poem-epic ever written. It tells of weapons of mass destruction that were very similar to H-Bombs of today. Not only that, but the Gods flew in flying machines of great maneuvering capabilities.

Who put these ideas into their heads?

Another observation made on each culture is the obsession with the concept of immortality and rebirth. Slaves voluntarily laid down next to their masters graves, eagerly awaiting the next life. One can see this everywhere.

Who put these ideas into their heads?

Almost all the cultures around the world have a ‘promise of return.’ The Spaniards were told of this when they went to South America. Some religions might even call it the Day of Judgment, through the twists in ideas that time brings. Don’t forget that the thousands of years passing by here may merely be a few years for these intergalactic travelers.

In the river Nile, there is a famous Island of Elephantine. There are no hills on the island upon which one could climb up and get that impression. Viewed from the air, the island resembles an Elephant. How did the Egyptians know?

The Egyptians also had a calendar based upon the rise of Sirius, with calculations for 32,000 years. What’s confusing about this is that Sirius is visible in the early dawn, only during the Nile floods.

An Analogy into our Future

In Human history, there have always been visionaries that were bold enough to remain oblivious to criticism. Without them, we would never have reached the moon or invented airplanes. Remember the cries such as “Man can never leave Earth!” or “Man cannot fly!”? It’s obvious that the realities of today is the vision of some person from years ago. We should therefore be open to the ideas presented today instead of merely dismissing them as gibberish.

Getting back to these mysterious artifacts and facts that our past presents us with, we can explain this with an analogy of our own future:

In 1965, two time capsules were buried in New York, which could withstand just about anything, including a nuclear holocaust. Now suppose a nuclear war wipes out most of civilization. It’s but obvious that the bombs won’t be directed at the bush tribes of Africa or the Eskimos. They’d be directed towards the epicenters of civilization, cities such as New York. In such a time, libraries, achievements and ideas won’t be of any use. Life wouldn’t be able to flourish in that area for years. But then everything will begin again. Once again, a civilization will emerge. In this new civilization, the archaeologists will claim that 20th century man was not familiar with Iron. . If they find cassette tapes, they wouldn’t know what to do with it, even though these could be of incalculable value to them. Texts which spoke of tall skyscrapers would be scoffed and dismissed as ‘creativity’ on our part. The London Tube would be viewed as a drainage system. Airplanes never existed, because 20th century man could never fly. If they happened to come across the speeches of Marx and Lenin, these would suddenly become high priests. What is being shown here is the analogy between the way we are being viewed 5000 years later, and how we view our ancestors from 5000 years ago.

The Pyramids

The civilization of Egypt appeared out of nowhere: an advanced, readymade civilization. Where did they come from anyways, and how is this sudden jump possible? To start off, fertile land in Egypt occurs only in the Nile Delta. Experts estimate that there may have been some 50 million inhabitants required at the time of the construction of the pyramids. Whatever the population, one this is sure: they all had to be fed, and the scanty yields of the Nile Delta’s agriculture isn’t enough.

These so called experts also say that wooden rollers were required to move the blocks. But the only trees in Egypt are palm trees, the shape of which makes it unfit as a roller. Not only that, but these were required for dates and shades. Did the Egyptians import wood? It should be noted that the horse and cart weren’t around until 1600 BC.

How did the Egyptians carve the tombs out of the rocks? How did they achieve such fine smoothness on the walls? How did they lay out a maze of galleries?

A meridian running through the pyramids can divide the continents and oceans in exactly two equal halves. The area of the base of a pyramid, divided by twice the height gives us pi (3.141592). How is this possible? How did they illuminate the interiors of the pyramid to create the drawings and paintings, without blackening the ceilings? How were the blocks joined to the accuracy of a thousandth of an inch?

Easter Island and other Oddities

Most of us know of the giant heads that have been built on the tiny Easter Island for reasons unknown. Observations show that the tiny island could not have supported more than 2000 men, yet building those huge heads out of a singular block of stone and transporting them would have required much more than 2000 men. Not only that, but these men had to be fed, ropes prepared, rollers and what not. What’s more, is that on the island, peculiar hats for these heads were also found prepared at another quarry. Why was the place suddenly abandoned?

A few more points of mystery on Earth are things that seem rather out of place. For example, cotton was cultivated in Peru in the time of the Aztecs, yet they never used handlooms.
The Mayans had built roads, but did not use the wheel, although they knew about it.
The Tikal Pyramid in Guatemala has a fantastic pearl necklace, with a jade in it. The Jade is from China.
The Pyramids at Teotihuacan have been aligned with the stars.

The Mayan Calendar was devised for 23,040,000,000 days. That’s about 400 million years. Why did they go that far? Also, how did the Mayans get knowledge of Uranus and Neptune, which weren’t ‘officially’ discovered by us until the 1800s?

After a shipwreck off the coast of Antikythera, divers found a strange object. Upon observation, it was found to be an extremely small scale planetarium, with the most intricate clockwork, by which the positions of the Sun, Moon and other planets could be worked out. The ship was said to have floundered around 60BC.

In Death Valley, California, melted rock and sand can be found. However, the way in which they’ve been melted can be possible only by the use of modern day lasers.

In Lebanon, there is a “Hadjar-el-Guble” meaning Stone of the South. It weighs well over 2 million pounds, and is well dressed and carved, even though no humans could have moved it.

In South Africa, France, Australia, India, Lebanon and Chile, there are mysterious black stones which are rich in Aluminum and Beryllium isotopes. Investigations showed that these must have been subjected to heavy bombardment by radioactivity and high temperature in the remote past.

Earth and Space

Space research is necessary, it is a must. There are many, many reasons for this. In the future, resources will dwindle, populations will grow, and by then it will be too late. Today, food production isn’t in pace with population growth. Placing limits on birth rates would never come through due to cultural ethical and religious motives, things we blindly submit to.

People of the view that the billions of dollars put into space research could be used to help other nations need to think a bit more: This view is wrong because countries don’t help other countries on charitable or political grounds purely. It’s mainly for their own industries. Thousands of byproducts of space research are in regular use by us today. The space research being invested in today has helped avert a third world war, as all concentration was suddenly on the great frontier beyond.

Another point to be made is that most people will often shut their eyes and ears to anything that does not fit into the regular fabric of their existence, or what they think is the regular fabric of existence. Aliens, ghosts and UFOs don’t exist simply because it’s not normal. It’s paranormal. What about this entity known as God, whom we submit to with blind faith, why is that considered ‘normal’? Simply because society said so?

There are several credible, authenticated accounts that exist of UFO sightings, yet they are simply dismissed. What about those sightings seen by thousands, like in Korea? Reports by the Department of Defense from Februrary 5, 1965 tell of a hyperfast unidentified object. Similar reports came from Kinross air Base, Michigan. These are just a few of many, you can read more on evidences and UFOs in history. These serve only to point to the fact that these extraterrestrial intelligent beings exist, the ones we now simply wish to ignore.

Finally…

To summarize the scattered contents of this essay, the past is so full of absurdities that instead of seeking an explanation, we choose to ignore them and often call our ancestors crazy and superstitious. However, everything has a truth to it. The beliefs and practices we uphold today will be laughed at in the not-so-distant future. Yet there’s still a reason for what we do.

Humans have existed on earth for about a million years, yet we reached such peaks of advancement in a fraction of this time. In just 7000 years. And cultures around the world have all recorded visits of Gods from the unknown. What really happened?

A plausible explanation that comes up goes like this:
This planet was discovered by some intergalactic travelers around 50000 years ago. They chose to mix and breed an intelligent race on the planet and gave us technology, knowledge and genes in our gene pool. Thus we started advancing at an accelerated pace, simultaneously worshipping these Gods. They promised to return, and left. What may have been a short span of time for them was probably thousands of years for us, in which we continued our advancement, and carried on the worshipping. The Gods did eventually return, perhaps to observe us. Each time they returned, they would help out a bit, a little more knowledge, a little more of ‘civilization,’ which would explain the extraordinary feats of building the pyramids, monoliths, etc. And then once again, the Gods would leave, with a promise of return. This promise got converted into things like “Day of Judgment,” “Day of Reckoning” or “End of the World.”

Perhaps the relics at Easter Island were built in preparation for the return of the Gods, but the Gods never came, and so it was abandoned. Perhaps the Aztecs had suddenly abandoned their cities so suddenly because the Year of Arrival had come and gone, without a visit from them. Perhaps the city of “Lot” was an experiment gone wrong, and was being destroyed. Perhaps the aliens didn’t like the progress of the human race, and decided to start anew by flooding everything out. And now we wait the return of our Gods. The UFO sightings and alien abductions of today are probably them checking in on us. Ever notice when we refer to God, we point up towards the sky?

It’s time that we started concentrating on our future, so that we may shed light on our past. Let the truth come out.
