greetings, we are your leaders

Heres an interesting idea. Humans weren’t created by some sort of divine entity to tend the Garden of Eden. They didn’t evolve either. Instead, they were assembled from raw organic materials in test-tube like jars of alien astronauts who called themselves the Anunnaki. Old, technologically savvy and in need of a new place to live after their home world began to die, they came to Earth and crafted the human race as a workforce. Where was their home? It was a planet known as Nibiru and it was the tenth (or rather ninth by todays definition) planet of our solar system.

A theory about aliens that come from our own solar system immediately makes it sound more plausible. Traveling between stars is a very difficult, lengthy and very energy intensive process. By contrast, traveling between planets is a breeze. We do it all the time. The Anunnaki just had to build a big enough spacecraft, aim it towards the Earth, give it a good initial boost and wait a few years until they arrive. Of course there are the problems of how a planet thats supposed to be located in the Kupier Belt could be home to an intelligent species and how an alien life form could survive on Earth…

The Kuiper Belt is full of spherical objects like Pluto, Sedna, Eris, Orcus, Ixion, Varuna and a few tens of thousands of others. But theyre too small to hold on to adequate atmospheres, too far out to feel the warmth of the sun (the sun is just another pinpoint of light to them) and far too cold to have any life on them. Theres a small sliver of a chance that one of these planetoids is caught in a gravitational tug of war and was kneaded until its core turned white hot and created a small ocean under kilometers of extoic ices. These conditions could allow some very hearty organisms to eke out a living but they would be too harsh to let more complex life develop. So if bacteria barely have a chance, how do the complex, almost human like Anunnaki have even the ghost of a prayer?

This is not to mention that if they evolved on a small sphere, their bodies could collapse in the same accordion style as Wiley Coyote being smashed into a cliff the instant they could feel the full brunt of our gravity. Were used to thinking of life on Earth as extremely comfortable, but for an extraterrestrial creature our world is Hell incarnate. Our gravity is either too little or too much. Our air is toxic. Oxygen is after all, a very flammable and corrosive substance. Just look what it does to metal. Our microscopic fauna is probably lethal as well. H.G. Wells was definitely not far off the mark when he wrote War of the Worlds. In fact, he seemed to understand how an alien may fare on our world far better than Erich Von Dniken or Zecharia Sitchin.

Earth would be a terrible home for the Anunnaki or any living thing that didnt evolve on a lanet with a 1G gravity and an air composed of oxygen and nitrogen. Even the most intelligent alien astronauts would have to invest so much into being able to exist on a planet so unlike theirs, it casts doubt on whether they would even choose our planet, much less spend a few thousand years here, create a new species and build countless monuments for their arcane purposes.

Ah yes, the mysterious ancient monument business. Going to other worlds and leaving a mark on them is something we would do because thats our culture. Aliens might view the very idea of planting a flag on the Moon and leaving our junk there as a blasphemous defacement. Just because aliens decided to come to Earth and set up shop here, doesnt mean theyll leave a few grand or enigmatic building projects behind. Wed just like them to so we can have both proof of intelligent life in the vastness of space and an established link to them over the millennia.

To be open-minded, I have to say that we may never know whether an intelligent alien species ever visited the ancient or even primeval Earth. One day we may encounter an extraterrestrial civilization that says: oh, youre from Earth? Well, isnt that funny, we were out that way about 45,000 years ago. But the idea of an intelligent alien species that evolved on the frozen outer edges of this solar system colonizing our world as recently as a few thousand years ago is just so unlikely and contrarian to what weve observed over the last century about planets and living things that we have a much better shot at finding the evidence for ancient astronauts via SETI than under our feet.

    “Traveling between stars is a very difficult, lengthy and very energy intensive process. By contrast, traveling between planets is a breeze. ”

    Would this not be about perspective? If I am an advanced species living outside of this Galaxy with the ability to traverse the multiverse, by manipulating the time-sapce continuim, then would not this point be moot? Or even antiquaited?

    Would it not be the height of arrogance to say that what we currently know is all that there is to know and that there is no room for fair debate without open mockery and ridicule. Why is it that people with a degree in a subject believe that they know everything? Does a piece of paper really define the intelligence of a human? There is much proof that this is to the contrary.

    You and Ian attack people ( not to mention ideas, alternate realities and theories ) and then become offended when you receive back to you what you put out there. I am not understanding this. Science is flawed and there, again, is so much proof of this that it is staggering. About every ten years theories must be chucked in order to allow for new ones. It seems that it is every year “scientist” are saying, “We made a mistake”, “We now know”, etc, etc. I am all for testing theories and alternative data but I kind of draw the line when it comes to mocking people for the hell of it. I don’t know everything there is to know about our world but neither do you so that alone would make us equals.

    There seems to be a great deal of ego invested in your knowledge and this serves no one at all.

    Could it be that we are in the process of self discovery? Really, Planets ( or anything for that matter ) are not “discovered”. They were there all along yet we lacked the tools to detect and reveal them as part of our reality. This is all very subjective this business of Science. It is in it’s infancy as is evidenced by the way we have verbally maligned each other. It shows a clear lack of maturity on both our parts.

    I apologize for my tone in my earlier posts. We should be helping each other instead of sticking daggers in each other’s eyes.

    If you have little pink elephants in your closet, well,…….. I won’t tell anyone.

    Peace………

    Sapce?/Space……it’s all the same. : )

    How do we know that bacteria can only evolve on certain places at certain temp’s at a certain amount of gravity. I’m not trying to attack you, or your beliefs, it’s just that how do you know, have you or even anyone you have heard of has spent a few million years watching a a number of planets, and through scientific method found out just what perimeters life can come about in? look at the life on earth alone. We have fish living in trenches at depths of miles where a human would be the size of a tin can. You can’t say that just because we couldn’t deal with it nothing else can.

    By taking what we know about chemistry and applying it to other worlds. As said in the post, some life forms could make it in environments we’d find toxic, but they would be fundamentally different from life on Earth and the odds of them becoming multicellular life forms like us aren’t all that great.

    how do you know that we are not like them beacuse we are based on their DNA structure which means we are anunaki like with a bit of earth creature mixed in no that they are human like… thats if they visited here long ago…
