You trusted Sitchin?
I think Sitchin is important not because his argument is correct, but he gave people a new way of interpreting History that we should investigate in line with everything else as part of the quest for our origins.
What he gave you is a litany of his own lies that convinced you that more investigation was needed because of the fake "evidence" he told you about.
Sitchin is not important. Sitchin has no value whatsoever.

Now that makes complete sense and packs some intelligence behind the searching. Fair...very fair.
I wish I had answers, both for you and myself. I love starting at Sumer and trying to work backwards. Were they the first civilization that popped up out of nowhere, possibly the 1st after the deluge? What was our history before 10,000+ BC? Was there possibly an Atlantean civilization before that that was pre diluvian?
I was never much of an alien type, but the more I research, the more it seems plausible. Evolution shaping us into what we are today seems like it is becoming more and more implausible. I am agnostic so intelligent design from a spiritual being called god is out of the picture, but intelligent design from 'those who descended from on high' makes perfect sense: Our chromosome count compared to other mammals. How many genetic defects we have. The curios fact that we are ill suited for this planet. That we were created in their image is an interesting road to travel. It also ties into a lot of ancient literature that scientists and theologians tend to write off as fantasy. What if it is not?
There are a lot of things that are starting to click into place. But trying to stitch together the overall picture with time frames is very daunting.
But good luck to you and please share with us what you discover.
Peace.

Not trying to pee on your thread but I like the AA show.
Do I believe every hypotheses presented in every episode? No way. But...
- I get to "travel" to places around the world and "see" historical things. I will never get to Puma Punko in real life so this will have to do.
- Georgio is a pretty cool dude Love the hair.
- There are some gaps, to say the least, in mainstream academic interpretations of historical events. Not their fault, it's really difficult gathering data for something that happened 1000'a of years ago.
- While aliens might be a lower probability than humans doing what humans do albeit for a much longer time than what we can prove at the moment, totally discounting it is as bad a totally accepting it lock, stock, and barrel.
- At the very least it gets people thinking history, archaeology, paleontology, geology, etc.

Just to add: Sumer's government is the earliest one we have written records for. There is no reason to assume that other societies didn't have similar systems.
Could be they just lacked writing so we don't know anything about their methods.
That is to say, I see nothing remarkable in the complexity of the Sumerians.

Valid point to the extent that the Sumerians are the oldest based on written records found so far...I think finding an even older Civilization than the Sumerians would raise even more questions though.
Stories of humanoid appearing beings with not human capabilities and features.
Seen these threads a thousand times skep come in onesided with very little to contribute.

Sure I never said anyone should not discuss something, but you should look into it further than just accepting whatever someone is selling, dontcha think?

There are questions raised by every archaeological find.
"Civilization" is just a classification.
We know that agriculture began over 12,000 years ago, and people were making pottery about twice that far back, so I don't see how finding another culture that could be classified as a civilization would raise any eyebrows.

Well an explanation for Gobleki Tepe doesnt exist as yet...So i would think if we were to find something older than Gobleki Tepe it would add more unanswered questions to the ones we already have.

What do you mean by the above? What "explanation" are you looking for?
Nothing at Gobekli Tepe is anomalous.
Harte
Do you have credible evidence of alien visitation? Or do you have no truth to contribute? Just fabricated mythology from lies, falsehoods, and misinterpretation?

Why exactly do you react ? I mean it's ats right?
