Ancient Astronaut Theory | National Geographic

once our ancestors settled their fascination with the skies went into overdrive they built massive structures to make extremely detailed observations but the question is why why did the ancients construct such huge buildings to observe the skies when they didn't have to it's hard for me to understand why you build a gigantic monument out of stones that's the hard way to do it and I don't think you get budgets for astronomy to build things bigger than you need to do all sorts of mysteries surround the construction of these monuments and why they were built some theory suggests that instead of just observing the skies they might have been erected using knowledge from visitors from another world that's the idea behind the ancient astronaut theory and the ancient astronaut theory tries to establish whether or not extraterrestrials visited earth in the remote past so why do we think it's even remotely possible that people of prehistory were visited by aliens because ancient texts from cultures around the world speak of mysterious beings cruising the skies and chariots of fire and bringing humanity wisdom from the cosmos the Mahabharata an ancient Indian epic which is their equivalent of the Bible is packed with stories of gods which a long long time ago flew around in marvellous golden sky ships refer to as Vimanas they were also very specific in mentioning that they are machines made out of metal it describes their weaponry that some Vimanas had the capability of cloaking themselves to become invisible all crazy science fiction type stuff but was it really science fiction that's the big question and the South Americans Asians and Egyptians all have mythologies that speak of beings who came to Earth aboard cosmic eggs these cosmic eggs appear in virtually every single creation story of each culture all around the world they all begin the same way that one day the heavens opened and this silver cosmic egg dissenter from the sky and these gods came out of these eggs and taught mankind in various disciplines
