Some thoughts about universes

The issue I have is most depictions of aliens are like us only with green skin and elongated skulls making them somewhat comparable to humans at first glance and they tend to have two arms and two legs too. All these human features have taken millions of years to evolve on earth under earths natural rules of evolution. It assumes a lot to begin to think aliens would be anything like us. Life as we know it requires certain elements to grow and much of space is extremely lacking in these life giving properties. I wouldn’t discount aliens altogether though because if we go down the route of different universes then the aliens big bang may have contained unknown elements not known to this universe. 

I guess it would depend on if a comet crashed onto thier planet carrying the component's of life like one seems to have done for ours?

I just hope if they are humanoid they don't go round wearing those horrible jump suits so beloved of the creators of sci-fi films, lol.

There’s other ideas that suggest we were not the first advance life form in this universe. Some ancient drawings show UFO looking objects in the sky and its been suggested the aliens may have helped humans in some way.

If you heat the rock up, put wedges in and then pour cold water over the rock, most rocks will split more evenly and in bigger pieces.

[INFODUMP ALERT!]

I remember reading (decades ago) that a good way to split a rock is to find a small fissure, hammer in a wooden wedge, and then pour water on it. The water makes the wood swell and ... hey presto ... two rocks instead of one!

The Nile was nearer to the site of the pyramids then so they brought a lot of stuff in by barge, like many ancient peoples they were really good hydrologists, but then I suppose they had to be seeing as their whole civilisation depended on the Nile and it's anual flood.

You can cut hard stone with fairly soft metals such as bronze by adding sand and water making a flux, of course they used wedges too and most likely fire and water to exploit existing fissures and cracks in rocks.

No you are right, I think the Egyptians used very few animals to build the pyramids, maybe donkeys but that’s it. It’s still very hard to believe people had such skills without modern tools. As for Putin, he’s a nut job already without believing any further fantasy. 

Mammoths died out by the end of the ice age, along wth many other of the big cold adapted animals, such as cave bears and woolly rhinos.

A crazy in Russia who has the ear of Putin, decided that Early Russian's along with thier mammoths roamed what was the former USSR during the ice age and created the first settlements of Europe and pretty much everywhere else.

It's an absolute load of wallop, Russia would of been under an ice sheet a mile thick and by the time the ice retreated mammoths were extinct. What wasn't under ice was arctic tundra, good for grazers but not for humans.

I'm not sure if Putin believes it, who knows what he believes, if anything, but he's quite happy to use this fairytale if it helps him in his imperialist goals.

Did you ever look up at the stars and say to yourself, "That one's hovering over Mrs. Jones in number 6; that one's over the Smiths in number 7; ..."? Probably not. You'd need a modern telescope with very accurate positioning and direction-finding to be able to identify which exact star is overhead any point on Earth. You can't just eyeball it and say, "This house here. Not the one down the street (I hear a very naughty boy lives there)."

Planets and comets can appear to "stand still" in the sky when their orbits appear retrograde. This is just a parallax effect as they are viewed from the Earth, which is also in motion. This is why they are sometimes called "wandering stars".

Matthew, in the New Testament, doesn't cite his sources. Is it possible that the whole story is somewhat hyperbolic, perhaps even a complete fabrication? It was written perhaps 50–70 years after the event by someone who wasn't there. The only thing it is evidence of is that people were interested in the night sky back then.

You might be onto something there  

I heard Daniken admitting to some mistakes, but fakes - I've never heard. I know of him being in prispn for tax fraud, when he was young. That's bad, but I find his theory interesting, because I myself came to the conclusion, that there might have been an advanced civilisation in the past, while reading Bible. I'm not religious at all, I just started reading Bible out if pure curiosity and I approached this book like any other book. I had impression,  that there is something wrong. I remember myself being scolded and bullied in primary school for adking questions like for example, what people was Kain afraid after being banished from Eden? There was supposed to be no one out there if Adam and Eve and their offsprings were tge only people existing on this planet. 

While reading new testament I asked myself how us it possible, that a star flying in the sky suddenly stops and hovers above one house. There is no celestial body, that would behave like a GPS. There are many more stories from the Bible that made me think. And then I discovered im not the only one coming to this conclusion. I listen to various channels, to gather more information and wider perspective,  not only one Daniken.

With their furry coats and working in that heat, it is no wonder they went extinct...
