When considering the sheer size of historical structures such as The Great Pyramids, Stone Henge and Machu Picchu, it makes you wonder how on earth a civilization still using relatively flimsy bronze and copper tools managed to lift hundreds of thousands of tons of perfectly cut stone and construct each one at a perfect angle. There’s still no scientific proof of how these architectural feats were pulled off, only theories—most involving rope, wooden pulleys and slave labour. Then there are the more “far out” ideas—aliens did it!

Some believe aliens in ancient astronaut gear flew from their far away planets, beamed down to earth and helped our primitive civilisations advance by building huge monolithic structures for us. Sounds ridiculous? Well consider that almost every “god” or deity in ancient history has floated down from the heavens above with bright light around it, and that there are even cave paintings that resemble what look like astronauts with funny alien shaped heads and eyes.

The idea was first properly explored by Swiss author Erich von Däniken, who released a book about ancient aliens in the 60s called “Chariots of the Gods?” which argued that all the gods spoken about in ancient texts were actually aliens from other galaxies. The halos were glowing helmets, the divine light tractor beams and their devastating power nuclear weapons. It all sounds a bit pseudoscience but sure enough there’s what some believe to be evidence around the world of what could be nuclear fallout, hundreds of thousands of years before the atom bomb was dropped. At the proposed site of Gomorrah for example, where the all-loving Christian God blasted a city and all its inhabitants with an almighty fireball for performing “perverted” sexual acts on each other, there are places in the ground where the sand withstood such a high temperature that it turned into glass. Sand melts at anywhere from 1710 to 3000 degrees Celsius. A nuclear bomb explosion is over 10million degrees, which would have easily melted the sand. Of course it could’ve been an asteroid but that’s not as fun as it being a nuclear warhead dropped by an angry alien race.

Hobbit like skeleton species have been dug up and speculated to be the missing link in our evolution, but as is with most things in the world of ancients aliens—it was aliens.

It’s also argued that there’s no way cultures thousands of miles away from each other in ancient times would have any idea what each other was doing. So why is it the Egyptians, the Aztecs, the Sumerians, the Bolivians all built pyramid structures and believed roughly in a similar god? It could just be a fact of them wanting to get to higher ground for the uses of protection and war—all coincidentally thinking of the same design, but ancient alien theorists believe our alien allies zoomed from one country to the next, instructing and helping us to make these pyramids for reasons we’re not privy to any more.

Then there’s the missing genetic link. Somewhere along our evolutionary cycle we gained speed and went from being mumbling ape men who slung our brides over one shoulder, to becoming educated mathematicians and strategic harbingers of war in no time at all. Many different Hobbit like skeleton species have been dug up and speculated to be “the missing link” in our evolution, but as is with most things in the world of ancients aliens—it was aliens.

People believe the aliens saw us dribbling and fumbling around as hulking great Neanderthals and abducted a few of us to experiment on. In their advance space labs they began changing our DNA, giving us just enough intelligence to do their dirty work and advance as a culture. Of course there are many even today still that seemed to be having a lie-in when the aliens descended, but until the missing link is proven 100%, I guess it’s still possible…

So there you have it. Ammo for a conspiracy related conversation that steers towards aliens being behind all of our greatest human triumphs. Just in case you needed any more reasons to lose faith in humanity.
