Over the course of the past year, I closely assisted a colleague in
writing a series of ten articles covering diverse aspects of my ancient
astronaut theory. All ten of those articles circulated widely around the
globe and view counters on many sites indicated plentiful readership,
but feedback to me, or to her, from anywhere, was non-existent. There
was neither criticism nor acclaim from anyone. Just silence. I was
starting to think that perhaps no one in world wants to take ancient
astronauts seriously.
In an attempt to make some progress, I decided to pay sixty dollars
for a review of my ancient astronaut website. Of course, this was to be a
review by skeptics; a review by New Age believers would be worthless.
Their blog's description was "critical reviews of paranormal claims on
the Internet." The intermediary granted them five days to perform their
review but that has long since come and gone, and not a word from them.
My website presents a vast amount of evidence and, in truth, I could not
expect anyone to produce a good critical review in just five days. No
one, including myself, would want to see quickly prepared and frivolous
arguments, else I would make them look ridiculous in my counter
arguments. Moreover, some of my evidence comes from Spanish-language
sources and, to start, they would need time to verify that none of it is
a hoax. They are welcome to all the time they need.
What to expect from this blog is uncertain. There are skeptics who
are as narrow-minded in their thinking as their New Age counterparts,
and then again, there are skeptics, like me, who objectively evaluate
the evidence to arrive at the truth. Was there a real ancient astronaut?
To help the skeptics answer that question, I will give them some ideas
on how to refute my theories. Here, solely for space considerations, I
will concentrate on the archaeological evidence, leaving aside ideas on
how to refute the cryptology and theology evidence for another day.
My website reproduces engravings from the Tiwanaku civilization in
Bolivia. One of those engravings depicts the alleged ancient astronaut
as an aquatic with a three-pronged tail, with each of the three prongs
ending in a pod. How do the skeptics refute that? Easy. They simply need
to demonstrate that the shape of those pods resembles some form of
animal or plant life to be found in that region. In other words, they
need to find a terrestrial source for those engravings, otherwise my
extraterrestrial arguments remain unharmed.
The timing of the Tiwanaku sky-god drawings coincides with the
timing of the Nazca Lines in Peru, so the ancient astronaut of both
places has to be one and the same. For Nazca, the skeptics will find
many ready-made arguments, but I consider all of them weak. The
mentality of the people of Nazca cannot be assumed to be unique in human
history. It has to be demonstrated that people elsewhere also believed
that the sun, moon, or sky-spirits had physical eyes that could observe
ground drawings. Alternatively, it has to be demonstrated that the
people of Nazca worshipped birds, believing them to have cognitive
intelligence.
The recorded engravings on the cosmological Sun Disk, alleged alien
artifact, may prove to be the biggest challenge for the skeptics. How
are we to believe that the Andeans of the early sixteenth century a)
knew that the Earth was round, b) knew that it was possible to orbit the
Earth, c) knew that sunlight striking the moon could reflect back to
strike a spaceship, d) knew that the dark clouds along the Milky Way
contained stars within, and e) knew that water formed the basis of plant
and animal evolution? Here the skeptics would need to find parallels in
the history of western civilization. I look forward to their response.
