This very scenario was written about back in 1941 by Robert A. Heinlein in an article titled "Universe" and 'Common Sense" later published in a 1963 book titled Orphans of the Sky

Thank you for this!

You just gave me my next book to read after I'm done with my current one.

Good point!

But can be avoided easily just by having 'History of Mankind' book available to them. Which I'm sure they will.

We can call it the bible. Lets hope dialect, writing and comprehension remains unchanged or the book will sound like unbelievable hogwash.

With the scientist they could also send a theology scholar up, to make sure we have their history/ evolution/ religion covered.

We can call these guys prophets, but many will stop believing their stories for they think it has no purpose in their lives for it was written too long ago to have any present purpose.

I'm pretty sure the human history part would be for them to read and available though. That's very important.

Do you consider the bible or other ancient lores as definitive history?

edit on 9-4-2014 by Shadow Herder because: (no reason given)

This is precisely what happened when our "creator gods'

Arrived on Earth
Terraformed the Planet
Colonized the Planet
Genetically Engineered hybrid slaves (humans)
Documented the experience (the bible)
Departed

First thing they have to do is how to save human reproductive elements from
radiation bombarment once they leave the earth astromphere.

But, it that is possible you will have millions trying to get the hell of this planet and that would be there opportunity.

The Good, Bad and the Ugly would all be out.

Just a chance to get out from the thumb of danger from the less.... desired of our population.

You know the ones who are preditors and target humans.

It would be a very cool story or movie ( i want rights) about a massive ship with 10,000 ancient dead astronauts in a 2 thousand year old ship sent from another galaxy to earth in attempts to extend their race is found coming towards earth.

There's a literary work already in existence with everything you mentioned:

The Bible.

Astronauts= Gods
Star Ships= Chariots
Technolgy= Blessings
Terraform= "made the Earth"
Genetic Engineered Workers= "Let US make mankind in OUR image (Gen 1:27)
