	Ancient astronaut theory - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Ancient astronaut theory is a term used to describe the belief that intelligent extraterrestrial creatures visited Earth in the distant past civilization and that such contact was involved with the origin or development of human culture.
		Ancient astronaut adherents often claim that humans are either descendants or creations of beings who landed on Earth millennia ago.
		In ancient art and iconography throughout the world, certain similar themes can be interpreted to illustrate air and space vehicles, non-human but intelligent creatures, ancient astronauts and artifacts of an anachronistically-advanced technology.

	Ancient Astronauts - Crystalinks
		Unwilling to be caught up in the ancient astronaut craze, anthropologists have suggested that the Tassili "roundheads" are merely ceremonial dancers or priests wearing empty gourds over their heads.
		Ancient astronauts have been described as bi-pedal entities often with beaks or wings, or reptilian looking, gray aliens, ethereal, or humanoid coming and going in space craft of some kind or moving in and out of our dimension.
		Sitchen's controversial theory is based on his interpretation of ancient Sumerian texts, with its origin in the Bible, in the book of Genesis.

	Ancient Astronauts
		The ancient astronaut theory seeks to explain anomalies in the human past, whether they be archaeological, mythological, anthropological, or palaeoanthropological.
		Ancient astronaut writers believe that a race of intelligent extraterrestrial beings visited and/or colonised Earth in the remote past, whereupon they upgraded the primitive hominid Homo erectus by means of genetic engineering to create the human race as we know it: Homo sapiens.
		However, in the light of the problems with the orthodox theory of human evolution, the idea of a genetic intervention by an intelligent human-like species (who themselves evolved on another planet over a more credible time frame) does require to be taken seriously as a potential solution to the mystery.

		The theory, first popularized by Swiss writer Erich von Daniken in his international best-seller "Chariots of the Gods?" (Berkeley Publishing Group, $4.99 paperback), was the subject of a 1973 PBS television special called "In Search of Ancient Astronauts," which Phillips saw and found convincing.
		The Sarcophagus Cover of Palenque, found in the ruins of that ancient Mayan city in Mexico's Chiapas state, for example, is just one of countless archeological objects or artifacts that confirm, according to Phillips, the truth of his theory.
		Ancient Astronaut Society member Jimmy Onan, a construction firm executive who built and lives in a pyramid-shaped home in Wadsworth, said, "Gene is one of the sharpest lawyers I ever met.

	Did A Cosmic Catastrophe Inspire The Beginning Of Religion?
		In place of the ancient astronaut theory, I am now able to present a new explanation of 'the gods' which is far less controversial, but which promises nevertheless to instigate a common sense revolution in our understanding of both ancient and modern religions.
		It is a mundane theory, and it produces a mundane explanation for the Heaven whence the gods originated, namely the troposphere where the Earth's weather is produced.
		THE WORSHIP of meteorites in ancient times is not a matter for dispute, although archaeologically speaking it is a practice better attested in ancient Egypt than in the land of the Sumerians.

	Alan Alford Interview - 'When The Gods Came Down'
		It is clear from the ancient myths that the ancients did not claim to have witnessed the planet exploding, because they asserted that the explosion led directly to the creation of mankind in the image of the gods.
		Ancient man is generally perceived as being egocentric, believing that events in his environment are wholly related to him.
		In the one camp are the 'ancient astronaut' fanatics and Sitchin fundamentalists who, because of their preconceptions, are vehemently opposed to my new point of view.

		The “ancient astronaut” theory generally includes the idea summed up in the first chapter of Genesis, which indicates the “gods” genetically engineered a proto-human race.
		The second reason is Darwin’s theory has not only been applied to biology, it is also used to explain the emergence and development of human civilisation by a process referred to as cultural evolution.
		A new theory is normally offered by presenting arguments against the currently accepted theory, as Crick and Hoyle did, and it is presented assertively with equal measures of humility and confidence that do not end in a question mark.

		This group is dedicated to the Ancient Astronaut Theory, that the earth has been visited and continues to be visited by beings of an (or many) advanced civilizations who have either influenced or are directly responsible for the advancement of human civilization.
		According to Ancient Astronaut Theory, there are numerous examples of aliens visiting the earth, establishing civilizations, flying in rockets and other advanced craft, and then leaving the planet, or blending in with the population.
		This theory says that if you're spiritually balanced and have attained spiritual insight or mastery over an aspect of your self, then when you summon an entity that represents that part of yourself, you will have good experiences with it, regardless of whether it is an angel or a demon.

	World Mysteries - The Ancient Astronauts Theory
		In 1958 (updated 1970) Charles Hapgood presented his theory (along with 458 references!) that both the poles and the Earth’s crust have shifted several times in the last 120,000 years.
		He uses evidence from geomagnetism, continental drift, the failure to explain the ice ages, the failure to explain climatic changes, the sudden melting of the ice sheets, the shaping of earth’s surface features, the evidence for violent and rapid extinctions.
		Tidbit 1: Geologist Robert Schock (1999) discusses the theory of Kirschvink and others that the "Cambrian explosion" was due to a 90 degree shift of the crust, not the interior of the Earth, which he calls "true polar wander".

		Adherents of the AAT are confident that extraterrestrials did in fact visit the Earth, making it their aim to prove this thesis using "common sense" methods.
		But again, usually they are anomalous only against the background of their ancient counterparts, being rather "normal" by the standards of the 20th century science and technology.
		These are, in particular, the ancient wooden model of a glider found in Egypt in 1898, small gold "airplanes" from Colombia, ancient Indian texts about "sky chariots"—vimanas, and the motif in folklore of time dilatation.

	World Mysteries - The Ancient Astronauts Theory
		In this space age, with it’s remarkable technological advances, it is becoming apparent that the "miracles", and other seemingly supernatural events reported in ancient texts, the megalithic constructions, and the enigmatic lines and artwork over the Earth, resulted from an advanced technology which was incomprehensible and indescribable by the ancient human observers.
		In this series of articles we will review the evidence that these mysteries are attributable to ancient astronauts; extraterrestrials who have visited Earth in prehistoric and historical times, and have interacted with humans or their evolutionary predecessors, i.e.
		The Polar Rounds, the concentration of ancient sites on or near the path of the current and shifted equators, suggesting that the ancient astronauts approached the Earth thru the solar plane, probably to use the planets for braking, and built very close to the equator.

		Temple's theory is that the knowledge of Sirius B originated from contact with extraterrestrials from a planet in the Sirius system.

		One of the most subtly satanic aspects of the UFO Phenomenon is the "Ancient Astronaut" theory.

		In this and other ways, the "Ancient Astronaut" theory is actually a vicious attack on the truth of the Bible, and on the existence of the God of the Bible in particular.

	The problem of paleovisits: a knight at the crossroads
		PV investigators are concentrating around the Ancient Astronaut Society (AAS) that was founded in 1973 by the American lawyer Dr. Gene M. Phillips.
		Being a free association of lay persons and specialists in various fields of science and technology, the Society gives its members (at its regular conferences, as well as on the pages of its two journals) broad opportunities for generating original PV-related ideas and—alas—lesser ones for their critical evaluation.
		Of course, a great part of "cosmic" interpretations of ancient texts and monuments, suggested by proponents of the AAT is rather naive (and yet more naive is their firm belief that the AAT is a miraculous instrument that can easily solve all enigmas of the past).

		Chariots held, for instance, that the giant stone faces on Easter Island off the coast of Chile were probably constructed with the help of extraterrestrials; the long Nazca lines, crisscrossing the plains of Peru and only visible from the air, Von Daniken said, were probably landing strips for their craft.
		By the late 1970s, however, Von Daniken's ancient astronaut theory was crumb- ling under an avalanche of criticism from archaeologists and astronomers.
		The whole ancie- nt astronauts hypothesis was based more on pseudohistory and pseudoarchaeology than any reasonable hypothesis about extraterrestrial intelligence, says Kend- rick Frazier, editor of the Skeptical Inquirer.
