I guess having a given or specific credit means the same as having a certain knowledge as well.

But right now the Pyramids of Giza or similar ones built by the Mayans or Aztec civilizations are probably no better proof of the possible existence of alien beings than our assumptions that "Little Grey Men" or E.T. could be working in prohibited or restricted areas being owned by the U.S. Government or the U.S. Military in possible collaboration with people being selected and coming from our world.

If we happen to be associating something posssibly resembling what to us might be considered being an intelligent craft, there is no proof that such a thing is in fact true.

One assumption might perhaps be that other intelligent civilizations could be visiting us by means of traveling through space and possibly time as well and that vehicles which might be regarded as being UFO's are being used for such a purpose.

One thing is looking for or perhaps listening for a possible signal coming our way through space. Another thing is believing that UFO's might be associated with the presence of other intelligences.

Again, neither dolphins or chimpanzee are supposed to be creating cities where buildings, vehicles and other products being related to the use of human technology becomes common.

Our level of intelligence has not changed much in thousands of years. Still our level of technology is growing more or less exponentially. Driving a car needs other skills than painting a picture or even having a wishful dream about a certain thing.

Some people choose to use technology based on electronics components as well as computers and software for the purpose of manufacturing and production, including building of houses as well as the production of cars and other electronics products, including hardware.

Computers are supposed to be based on functionality coming from the hardware being chosen for a given purpose. In contrast, software for a given purpose is rather being used for possible management and control.

This makes us still in charge when making certain decisions which are related to possible right or wrong, but from a technological perspective this ability makes us able to carry out certain things and separate one or more given things against others based on selection or choice.

Most likely, nature is supposed to be doing such things in a similar, but not necessarily the exact same way. We are once again being reminded about the principles of evolution which very well could be for a specific purpose in mind.

Also the mentality of some people, including possible greed and lack of common sense could be thought of as being possible factors.

Even so, there might be some wishful people around as well possibly believing that extraterrestrials may in fact exist based on what might be regarded as being current knowledge about certain facts.

When it comes to such things, we are supposed to both believe as well as not be doing such a thing as well. Therefore you probably will never know what is supposed to be true.

The current development of technology should make us better able to conclude certain facts when it comes to the possible existence of other intelligent civilizations. Their possible legacy here on Earth may be found in certain relics being present here on Earth, but in order to learn about their current presence in space we rather should be relying on the tools of technology for such a purpose.

I am 25% Greek myself and tonight I made a wonderful Moussaka for our little family. Ground the lamb, made the Greek tomato sauce with herbs from our garden and topped it with a creamy Béchamel sauce spiced just right with nutmeg and cinnamon. Yum Yum !!

oh, I do love Moussaka...we do make it here in Croatia, also!
lamb was eaten on Saints day...
& all tomatoes from garden are in a tomato juice...so we just mix it with herbs, for a sauce! ;)

btw, yesterday just got a 0,5kg of Ceylon cinnamon...WoW, what a difference! I honestly have to question if it even came from Earth...it was that GOOD!
:D

But right now the Pyramids of Giza or similar ones built by the Mayans or Aztec civilizations are probably no better proof of the possible existence of alien beings

One belief is that the three pyramids of Giza represent the three stars of the constellation Orion, Alnitak, Alnilam and Mintaka. The layout can only be fully appreciated from the air. The constellation of Orion was associated with the Egyptian god Osiris the god of rebirth and afterlife.

The Egyptians firmly believed in the afterlife and that when their gods returned they would be resurrected, which is why they were entombed with all their possessions that they would need. The elaborate tombs built as pyramids served two purposes, as markers of where to find the person awaiting resurrection, and to protect that person while they were waiting.

It is interesting that the Kings Chambers are almost exactly 1/3 up from the base of the pyramid. At that point, long term mummification appears to happen. Dead cats and other animals have been found in the passages in an almost perfectly preserved state. There was even a patent application for a pyramidal razor blade sharpener that apparently worked, something to do with crystal regrowth through polarised light, if you aligned it North/South.

Similarly there are the images on the plain of Nazca, which can only be seen properly from the air. The people that constructed all these things around the world believed that when their gods returned again from the sky, they would serve to indicate where to find their faithful followers that had waited for them, dead or alive.

I've read somewhere that the Egyptians had been told about stasis by ET, as how they travelled over vast distances at near light speed. But over time they thought it also applied to dead people that could simply be woken up again at some point. All Gods have infinite powers!

Atlantis I don't believe in. Plato said it existed beyond the "Pillars of Hercules", which today we call the Straits of Gibraltar. That was meant to indicate that it was out over the Atlantic Ocean somewhere. In the 21C we have mapped the Altantic ocean floor in some detail, and there is no evidence of a sunken continent anywhere. But if you look at a world map and draw a line "roughly" West from the Mediterranean, you come to more or less where the Mayans 2600BC, and the Olmecs 1600BC were in the Gulf of Mexico area. Plato in 400BC had no knowledge of the Americas, but someone did thousands of years earlier.

The Incas and the Aztecs were 13C, and I am quite convinced that the last ET visit, if there was one, was at least 10-15,000BC.

As before, there is no concrete proof for any of it, and my views are just as valid as anyone elses. But the pyramids and Nazca physically exist, you can go and see them today. And also the Baalbek Terrace with the "Trilithon" 800 ton stones that we couldn't build today in the 21C. They are all there, it's the purposes of them that are open to interpretation, as much as how they were built as well.

so, what are you saying is that "modern civilization" started when ET visited Earth...remarkably!

I just wonder...if ET didn't reproduce with monkeys...maybe they made some adjustment to genes...& human civilization with cognition started?!
