More on the African-Alien Connection
Artifacts unearthed in Central Mexico reveal that the Olmecs may have descended from an African lineage. Western historians generally date the Nubians of Sudan only as far back as biblical times, but few excavations of their territory have ever been undertaken. Fortunately, Swiss archaeologist Charles Bonnet has been on the job in an area just south of the Egyptian border since 1965. "At the time I was told: you are wasting your time, there is nothing in Sudan," he said in a 2010 interview withThe Telegraph (UK). "Today, no one says that any more." Bonnet has unearthed evidence of Nubian control over Egypt and found artifacts dating back to at least 7000 B.C.
Other excavations and more recent climate studies have demonstrated that the deserts on either side of the Nile Valley looked more like savannas during the Neolithic era and earlier. In 1925, the psychic Edgar Cayce claimed an ancient river once ran from the Nile west across Africa. NASA satellites eventually uncovered the ancient riverbed, confirming the high probability of many sedentary, sophisticated cultures in Africa's remote past.
That's led a few scholars to wonder if the famous cattle and bull imagery from pre-dynastic Egypt and Anatolia actually got its start in western Africa, rather than in Mesopotamia or Asia Minor. If true, it would amount to a major "Oops!" in the telling of history by modern scholars. In the foreword to his 2000 anthology, Egypt and Nubia, Gifts of the Desert, Renée Friedman wrote that "the discovery at Nabta Playa [near the Egyptian/Sudanese border]... of 'public architecture', including calendar circles, megalithic alignments, sculptures and other constructed features indicates a political or religious authority with control over human resources -- in other words, a higher level of social complexity than was ever supposed for a desert region."
A new book by Robert Bauval and Thomas Brophy, Black Genesis: The Prehistoric Origins of Ancient Egypt, takes a closer look at Africa's cultural contributions in prehistory.
Other Evidence of an Extraterrestrial Past
This is a replica of the Palenque tomb depiction of Lord Pakal. Archaeologists say he's seated on a throne moving backwards, down into the underworld. Erich van Daniken and other history detectives think Pakal may be blasting off in a spaceship.
Since 2009, the History Channel has aired more than three dozen episodes of its popular series Ancient Aliens, underscoring the wealth of artifacts, legends and intrigue surrounding the idea that otherworldly beings have not only visited the planet, but repeatedly intervened in human affairs.
Curiously, The Sirius Mystery has never been mentioned on the program. When the story of the Dogon was reported in a 2012 segment, it was (ironically) Temple's detractor, Philip Koppens, who related the particulars of the tribe's cosmology. (Temple himself was finally included in an episode about the Great Sphinx in November, 2014.)
Among the other evidence that Ancient Aliens has presented to date:
- Statues built in Sumer, Egypt, South and North America, Easter Island and elsewhere honoring all-powerful men who look nothing like the local population.
Quarried stone found at Balbeck, Lebanon. The site dates back thousands of years and was called "The Landing Place" by the Sumerians. For more info, see Zecharia Sitchin's 2006 article.
- Megalithic structures,comprised of blocks of up to 1,200 tons, dispersed throughout the world. Large pyramids have been discovered in China and the former Yugoslavia. In a 2013 episode called Alien Power Plants, engineer Christopher Dunn suggested that hydrogen gas may have been created inside the Great Pyramid by pouring hydrochloric acid and hydrated zinc down opposing shafts that meet in the Queen's Chamber. An intense acoustic vibrations were then induced below the chamber, which jettisoned the hydrogen upwards, perhaps exiting the capstone as some sort of power ray. (For more info, check Dunn's book, which is listed in the gray box to the right.)
- The 2,000-year-old Antikythera mechanism. Retrieved from the sunken wreck of a Roman ship, it's described as a complex mechanical computer that can match dates with astronomical alignments.

Evidence of machining into hard diorite rock at Puma Punku, a site near Tiahuanaco, Bolivia. The structures there are thought to be 15,000 years old.

Evidence of machining at Puma Punku
- The ruins of ancient cities found deep beneath sea, like Dwaraka in India, and Yonaguni in Japan. There is no explanation as to how or who could have built them six to ten thousand years ago.
-
Spaceships described in detail in Hindu and Vedic literature, as well airborne craft (and even some battles) depicted in both ancient and classical artworks and murals.
The Hans Glaser woodcut of a 1561 UFO citing over Nuremberg is shown here in a story appearing in the Nuremberg Gazette. The article referred to "cylindrical shapes from which emerged black, red, orange and blue-white spheres that darted about."

- World maps showing correct longitudes long before the chronometer has been invented. In particular, the Piri Reis map shows Antarctica without its ice cap and an accurate outline of the Amazon region long before it was discovered by Europeans.

- The Nazca Lines, etched thousands of years ago in the Pampa Colorado desert of Peru. These drawings can only be seen from an airplane.

- Strange depictions of what appear to be technological objects discovered in Latin America . The Atlantes stone figure holding the strange gun or torch above left was found in Tula, Mexico. On the right, the "Man in Serpent" sculpture at La Venta, Mexico features a basket exactly like the carvings at Gobeli Tepe and the one held by Oannes in Sumer (See photos on Page 1.) This is the earliest-known feathered serpent depiction of the Aztec god Quetzalcoatl.
