I'd be curious why there seems to be so many shows in TV now about ancient astronauts coming down and showing ancient man how to build thingspyramids, etc. For they claim that ancient man wouldn't have been smart enough to do such things, therefore must have had help.
To me, the motive seems rather clear. Highly intelligent ancient man and evolution don't mix. To these evolutionists and naturalists, the data doesn't fit. Therefore, these theories are running rampant. Just about every night, there's an ancient aliens documentary on some channel somewhere.
But for those of us that trust the Bible, the data makes perfect sense. Men were once very intelligent, much more so than us. But they were also wicked so God destroyed them in a flood which virtually all ancient cultures remember. Soon after the flood, men retained their knowledge for a few generations, and built some amazing cities and structures. But eventually they began to devolved and many of these technologies were forgotten and lost.
But I suppose believing in ancient alien helpers would be easier for some to accept than the Bible which speaks of a God who holds them accountable. That's my take, anyway.
Although intelligence is something I think early man had in multiple ways and at a higher level - with us starting to catch up in our time with some of the things they did - I do think that the "alien" aspect can make sense when considering the Angelic and that any type of "alien" intervention was a matter of supernatural beings trying to mess around in the affairs of men - and messing mankind up in the process.
Michael Heiser has done some really good work on the issue, as he made a book that was a story essentially meant to be a social critique of the future based on what has happened in the past. The book is entitled
The Facade.
How would you respond to the news that life exists elsewhere in the universe? More to the point, how would your view of the Bible change if ET landed on the White House lawn tomorrow? Or if an ET landed noting that the stories of Giants/mythological gods from antiquity were really them? Those questions are central to the plot of
The Facade by
Dr. Michael Heiser,
academic editor for
Logos Bible Software and a scholar of Biblical Hebrew and ancient Israelite and Egyptian history. Hes also a well-regarded ufologist, and he manages to bring those seemingly diverse areas of study together in the special edition of
The Facade. In his work, he discusses the evidence for contact, how the U.S. government appears to be preparing for a disclosure event, and why Christians believe the abductee phenomenon has a spiritual goal. For more background on Mikes thinking on this issue, see his series,
Fundamentalists and ET. Additionally, one can c

VFTB 109: Why the Nephilim? 6 as it concerns discussion on why others feel that you'll see more of a discussion on the return of the Nephilim.
Heiser has done some amazing workin gother areas as well. With the help of respected
ancient language expert and Bible scholar, Dr. Michael Heiser,
Chris White has produced a three-hour film,
Ancient Aliens Debunked (available to watch online for free
click here),
It is a must-see for anyone whos ever wondered about the pyramids, ancient megaliths, the Nazca Lines, the Annunaki, Ezekiels Wheel, or any number of other apparent historical anomalies. It goes a long way in showing how much people are being prepared for things as part of massive deception. In many ways, crediting the existence of other ancient actions to alien life can be seen as the product of fallen angels who want to harvest human souls...and radical action imposition of
an Old Testament form of morals and dogma on a planetary scale is needed to save humanity from a hellish end.
It was not outside of the realm of fallen angels/Watchers to teach man a great number of things way ahead of their time or for man to do technological feats that still baffle others today and that seem to have only be possible with supernatural help...from the pyramids to giant symbols of figures carved in the ground as if from an aerial point of view....as if the angelic was looking down/helping others dictate things.
In an isolated valley, high in the Andes Mountains of Central Peru, dozens of lines have been waiting thousands of years to be discovered. But what sets these lines apart from many other anthropoligical etchings is that they can only be truly appreciated from an airborne perspective! The Nazca lines are legendary. Stretching across 400 square miles of high arid plateau are drawings of hundreds of figures. They range from giant spiders to vast geometric shapes to enormous monkeys as large as 890ft, or roughly the size two and a half football fields. Hummingbirds, fish, sharks or orcas, llamas, and lizards and according to some, astronauts, aliens and landing zones are all represented in these enormous line drawings.
Like genuine crop circles, these are not manmade. ..
There are other versions of these things elsewhere - such as in the Middle East. They stretch from Syria to Saudi Arabia, can be seen from the air but not the ground, and are virtually unknown to the public. They are the Middle Easts own version of the Nazca Lines ancient geolyphs, or drawings, that span deserts in southern Peru and now, thanks to new satellite-mapping technologies, and an aerial photography program in Jordan, researchers are discovering more of them than ever before. They number well into the thousands. Referred to by archaeologists as wheels, these stone structures have a wide variety of designs, with a common one being a circle with spokes radiating inside. Researchers believe that they date back to antiquity, at least 2,000 years ago. They are often found on lava fields and range from 82 feet to 230 feet (25 meters to 70 meters) across. And for more, one can go here to s

It was either the case that such people making those designs had a form of media in ancient times we do not yet know of - or perhaps the angelic/spiritual beings above were literally using their abilities to brodcast images of what they wanted others to have on their minds and write down in memory....and if that could happen then, I don't see any reason to think the same can't happen today.
