Alien spaceships sweep into the spaceport from a huge blue-green planet that swam into the regions near Earth only centuries before. On the giant runways made of quarried stone, alien-human hybrids scurry to make sure all is in readiness for the landing of the gods from another planet. In the plains and hills beyond, thousands of their servant/slave brothers labor to extract minerals from the soil for their alien overlords.
Nearby and tens of thousands of miles across the planet astronomical clocks like those of Stonehenge and Machu Picchu not only keep watch over the procession of the stars, but also serve respectively as symbols for the alien masters, themselves vastly ancient, who, in a complex rotational system of 2,160 years apiece, share the responsibility for all of human activity.
Science fiction? No. The true history of man's ancient past as recreated by Alan Alford, a 36-year-old Welsh former chartered accountant who has joined the ranks of those authors, like Erich von Daniken and Zecharia Sitchin, who believe that ancient astronauts' visited our planet millennia ago and critically influenced the evolution of our species.
Fast forward:
Central to Alford's theory is the increasingly accepted realization by modern science of the amazing and improbable nature of man's evolutionary history. Homo erectus emerged from the apes about six million years ago, according to Alford and others, and for millions of years thereafter changed hardly at all.
Then, abruptly, about 200,000 years ago (Alford gives a figure of 184,000 years, based on his Sumerian readings), homo sapiens emerged from homo erectus and our species took a remarkable leap forward in a very short span of time (evolutionarily speaking), acquiring a 50 percent increase in brain size, language capability, and an utterly changed modern anatomy. At the dawn of history, in ancient Sumeria, the leap became an exponential curve as mankind acquired in a few short centuries most of the benefits, albeit in primitive form, of modern civilization.
In his book, and in interviews, Alford insists that straightforward Darwinism cannot explain such a magisterial leap forward. Such prodigies of random mutation and natural selection would have had to take place, he says, almost simultaneously, and so perfectly, over such short periods of time, that there is just no way this could have happened. Citing Stephen Jay Gould's oft-quoted reference to the amazing improbability of human evolution, Alford points to a wealth of inscriptions, translated only recently, to back up his contention of alien-inspired genetic meddling in the history of our species. To cite one example, he refers to what seems to be a Sumerian reference to a knowledge of cloning on the part of the gods:
To cite another, he is able in examining the strange Sumerian counting system, which alternated in almost arbitrary fashion between the powers of ten and 60 to show that the Babylonian measurement of a sar was not 3,600 but 2,160 years, thereby squaring the Sumerian Kings List with the Book of Genesis.
JUNK DNA, by some...called the litter.
Fiebag contends that this litter' could well be important information about the structural code or a genetic language not yet recognized as such. And, he speculates, if extraterrestrial intelligences have carried out the manipulation of our DNA in the distant past, hints of such an event would have to be found precisely here, in this so-called litter.'
Edinburgh University graduate Dr. Thomas Dorman, a specialist in internal and orthopedic medicine now practicing in Wellington, Washington, contends that the pelvic area of a two-legged animal such as homo sapiens is so radically different from that of a four-legged animal that an impossibly huge number of successful and simultaneous evolutionary changes would have had to take place for the latter to have evolved into the former. In fact, says Dorman, at a certain point the evolving creature would have been unable to walk at all, and therefore would not have survived. This leads him to conclude that man never evolved from the apes at all, but along a quite different evolutionary path. It is not far from this contention to the suggestion that man's remarkable evolutionary changes might have been engineered by gene-tinkering aliens exactly the thesis of Sitchin, and now Alford.
What I call a summation of today's beliefs:
But everywhere underlying Eliade's words is the assumption that these were not literal realities, but archetypal images welling up from the collective unconscious of archaic man alone and terrified in a universe he could not understand.
It has been said among other comments that the Ancient Aliens on H2 are theories from idiots. Well if you are told a pissed off carpenter who also pissed of the powers, could make the blind see, turn water into wine, was crucified, died in 3 days when it normally took two weeks, entombed and in 3 days arose from the dead and accompanied by those called angels into the sky...would also have been called idiots.
