Millions of Years Ago, Astronauts Roamed the Earth

There comes many a time when you hear an idea so completely ridiculous, that your brain breaks. The belief that part man/part animal astronauts walked around our fair earth is one of them. The ancient astronaut "theory" mocks the very concept of "theory". Hell, it even mocks the concept of "hypothesis" — hypotheses deserve consideration.

For the moment, I would like you to bare with me as I take you on a tour of the thought process behind this "theory".

AAs first came to Earth many millennia ago. They were beings whose biology was similar to modern humans. They created modern mankind by mixing their genetic makeup with that of sub-humans. The purpose of mankind was to serve the AAs, principally by providing food and mining and construction labor. The AAs did not allow humans to view them – only their symbols (idols), suggesting that their appearance was frightening; however humans were occasionally permitted to see their emissaries, e.g. "geniuses" and "angels". They also would not allow humans near them, except priests who had cleansed and covered themselves and spread a germicide, suggesting their susceptibility to earthly diseases. They apparently moved about the Earth in spacecraft using chemical fuel, and only landed on mountaintops or other rocky outcroppings; this reduced the dust and provided physical protection from humans, and disease control.

So why the need to make up such quackery? Perhaps its the inability to accept things at face value. A person who is never satisfied with the world in front of him sometimes has to visualize how he would like the world to be.

Another reason may be impatience. Unsatisfied with the fact that there are some things we just may never know, the person who made up this story decided to make up answers. It matters little that it is far-fetched, just that it is an answer.

To that, I say sometimes your heart may be more at peace by accepting the concept of mystery into your life: that the unknowable and therefore the unanswerable can be a good thing.
