Au contraire. All motives reduce to fear and greed.

That makes sense. Both conspiracies and extreme politics requires a worldview disposed to believing that someone is in control, that evil forces are at work etc. it might be jees, it might be Bill Gates, it might be aliens or the WHO. Or if you’re springrain, it’s lizardmen.
Those of more moderate views tend to understand the harsh reality of life. No one is in control. Everything is random, chaotic and iterative.
Angkor was built by aliens...

Graham Hancock's wife is a dark skinned Malay, by the way.
Fit that into that into yer white supremacist theories.

The builders of Angkor Wat may as well have been aliens because the minute carvings everywhere are out of this world!
Praveen Mohar has many videos about AW, some alluding to super beings and theories. I quite like his videos but his voice can be a little squeaky, lol

You realise the last one is Machu Picchu three days trek up a mountainside without lugging ten ton boulders,probably not?

Do your research man. It’s not rocket science.
There are numerous studies of how MP was built and all of them entirely credible. Much of the complex read built with mortar shaped around existing rock formations. There was no rolling massive boulders up mountains.
Just because you can’t conceive that something is possible doesn’t make it impossible.
This is what gets me about conspiracy nuts: “I have limited imagination, and I can’t work out how various feats of engineering were done’ so it must be aliens,”

People were moving big rocks much further 4000 years before Machu Picu. Several studies and real-life experiments have shown how it is possible.
Also, cultures in India and SEA continued these primitive techniques well into the 20th century in places, with eye witness accounts and photographical evidence.
This photograph, taken c.1915 on Nias, an island off the western coast of Sumatra, Indonesia, shows a stone-moving ceremony that involved hundreds of people. The event culminated in a feast.
Khasi tribes (an interesting group, supposedly related to Mon-Khmer) in north India were building monoliths up in the mountains of Megahalaya until converting to Christianity stopped the practice in the 1850s.

How does a wooden handle turn into coal in just 200 years it is a physical impossibility proving beyond all reasonable doubt that you are talking utter piffle?pedros wrote: ↑Mon Mar 11, 2024 8:12 amPretty amazing coincidence that 'aliens' 400 million years ago used exactly the same type of hammer common with Texas miners from the late 19th century.Chroy Changvarite wrote: ↑Mon Mar 11, 2024 6:30 amOk let’s do OOPAs or Out-Of-Place-Artifacts starting with the London Hammer…
Found in London,Texas a modern-looking hammer encased in a rock dating back to the Cretaceous Period of 400 Million years ago,the hammer itself was dated to 500 Million years ago with a section of the handle that had begun the transformation into coal! :
https://www.thearchaeologist.org/blog/t ... ing-oopart
Also, the owners of said item are also whack-a-day, the earth is only 5,000 years old, get on the rapture cloud express creationist Christians and have refused to allow any tests on the object.
An interesting natural phenomenon for sure, but hardly evidence of an ancient civilisation.
"First of all, there are conflicting reports as to where the object was actually located in the surrounding rocks. And there is no photographic evidence of the object prior to being disturbed. One report states that the hammer was embedded in a rock formation dating from the Cretaceaus Period (65-135 million years ago), whilst others stating from Ordovician strata. But other accounts state that Mr. Hahn found the hammer bearing nodule "near" these surrounding rocks, lying loose not in situ.One possible explanation for the rock containing the artifact is that the highly soluble minerals in the ancient limestone may have formed a concretion around the object, via a common process (like that of a petrifying well) which often creates similar encrustations around fossils and other nuclei in a relatively short time.
Skeptics argue that minerals could have cemented the hammer around the Cretaceous rock after it was dropped or left behind. This could easily lead novice geologists to believe that the hammer and the rock formation are from the same time period. The only true method of determining the age of the hammer is through Carbon 14 dating of the wooden handle, but Baugh has yet to authorize this procedure.
The handle appears to be partially fossilized, so this certainly adds to the argument that this a very ancient tool. But fossilization can occur prematurely through various natural methods. To skeptics, the hammer appears to be a tool that was abandoned or lost some 200 years ago, but to it's [sic] supporters, this is a clear indication that man has been on this Earth much longer than previously thought."
