Subject: Why did they stop?

Written By: loki 13 on 11/30/09 at 6:32 pm

I was watching a show last night about Erich Von Daniken's Ancient Astronaut Theory, the one that states
extraterrestrials had a hand in the building of the pyramids and other ancient structures. Pyramids are found
all over the world and were built approximately 5,000 years ago. According to Von Daniken the ancients did
not possess the knowledge to build such structures so the knowledge was given to them by an alien lifeform.

Why did they stop giving that knowledge 5,000 years ago? When did they go from teaching cultures how to
build amazing structures to abducting them and shoving probes up their ass? During the show they stated that
architects of today couldn't build structures with the accuracy of celestial bodies that the ancients did. Are they
kidding? Technology today can pinpoint anything , anywhere, I'm pretty sure they can point a building at the
freakin' sun.

If these beings could build a spacecraft that could travel billions of miles are they saying the best idea they could
come up with is a pyramid? The raw materials to build an airplane were present on the earth at that time and all
the aliens could do was pile up a bunch of rocks?

On a related note; why did God stop speaking to people 2,000 years ago? He used to use burning bushes, chariots
of fire and angels to contact the human populace, now, not so much as a whisper. It seems the last person he made
contact with was Mary, Mother of Jesus and that was just so he could seduce her. Why the 2,000 year silent treatment?
Why did they stop?

I think God doesn't do anything like a burning bush because He doesn't want to be in the world news.  He seems to notify me through chills.

Reminds me of a bumpersticker I read when George II  stole the first election.

The Last Time People Listened To A Bush They Wandered Around A Desert for 40 Years.

I think the aliens that experiment on and harass (even, perhaps even probe) people are a different species than the kind who built the Pyramids. :)
