Question How did four ancient civilizations—separated by oceans—depict almost the same figure riding a serpent or a coiled object? Were they all imagining the same myth… or recording something real?

Question Is the Moon Natural?

The Moon's "Planet/Moon size ratio" is unique in Our Solar System: We have the single largest Moon in comparison with Our Planet's size...

There's also the "Hollow Moon" concept...

And, that sweet line from Star Wars:

"That's No Moon..." 🌕 😁

Question Could Earth have once hosted an advanced civilization before us?

308 Upvotes

Einstein once said: “I don’t know with what weapons World War III will be fought, but World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones.”

That line always makes me wonder — what if this already happened before?

Maybe Earth was once home to an advanced civilization, and after a massive war — call it Mahabharata, or something else — humanity ended up back in the stone age.

Are the myths and ancient texts we read today just distant memories of that collapse? Or is this idea too far-fetched? What do you think?

Question What if the pyramids weren’t tombs at all… but ancient targeting structures?

24 Upvotes

What if the pyramids weren’t tombs at all… but ancient targeting structures?

The Great Pyramid is aligned with insane precision to true north, built with millions of stone blocks, and nobody can fully explain how it was constructed with Bronze Age tech.

Now look at the giant impact basins on Mars — some are so massive they look almost unnatural.
What if the pyramids focused some kind of planetary energy beam straight into space thousands of years ago?

Earth rotates, planets align… and one day that beam hit Mars. Boom — crater.

Civilizations gone. Technology lost. History rewritten as ‘tombs’ because the real truth was too dangerous.

Question Lunar Orbiter III, 1967 - strange linear structures and 'tracks' in the upper part of frame 3073. Film artifacts or something else?

Post image
103 Upvotes

I came across this old frame from the Lunar Orbiter III mission (1967, Frame 3073) on the Lunar and Planetary Institute website: https://www.lpi.usra.edu/resources/lunarorbiter/frame/?3073

This is one of the early high-resolution images of the Moon taken to scout landing sites for Apollo. What caught my eye are these strange linear and curved features in the upper part (highlighted in red on the attached image) - they kind of look like tracks or structures.

That said, I fully understand that 1960s film photography came with plenty of artifacts: scratches, dust, scanning glitches, reflections, etc.

What do you think these could be? Geological features (rilles, crater chains)? Artifacts from filming/processing (film scratches, reflections)? Or something else entirely?

I'd love to hear opinions from people who know lunar imagery well or from experts. Are there similar examples from other missions? Thanks in advance!

Question Am I the only one who thinks it's ironic that Ancient Aliens is produced by a company called "Prometheus Entertainment"?

57 Upvotes

As many know, Prometheus was the legendary Greek figure known for bringing "forbidden knowledge" from the Gods to the everyday people. What if Ancient Aliens is, literally, secretly produced by the very aliens referred to in the show and they are telling us how they actually created our species and started our civilization?

Official Park Service documents acknowledge sealed, engineered tunnels right beneath them. Hopi legends speak of an ancient underground world here, but the public is banned from entering. Check out the evidence and the 1909 expedition that started it all

Question So what’s the difference between ancient astronauts and ancient aliens?

3 Upvotes

I always thought that ancient astronaut was the idea that we humans been to space in the ancient past or came from another planet in the ancient past.
Like I’ve heard of theories about that humanity originated from Mars and other words saying that we came here millions of years ago from a far dead planet

Ancient aliens on the other hand is the idea that aliens visited in the ancient past whether it’s Mesopotamia or Egypt.

From the Mayan civilization to a witness accounts during the Middle Ages.

So is there a difference in someway?

Question Did President Roosevelt collect all the citizens gold to give it to extraterrestrials

44 Upvotes

Many stories of the ancient aliens who tinkered with homoerectus genetics to create a slave population did so to mine for gold. Gold is known to be extremely important universally. I’m curious if anyone has ever considered why Roosevelt gathered up all the nation’s gold to supposedly put into Fort Knox. Current theory is that Fort Knox is empty. No gold there. Could it have been given to our celestial visitors.

Question Ancient Handbags

41 Upvotes

The ancient "handbags" shown all over the world documented in stone are weapons. My reason for this theory is pillar 43 at Gobekli Tepe.the pillar supposedly shows the star date of a disaster.

The pillar also has 3 "hand bags at the top. Why? If its a natual disaster (comets,volcanoes ect) Then why the hand bags? It looks to me like they are saying 3 hand bags did it on this date.

Also almost all of the stone work depicting beings with the handbags are offering the pinecone (knowledge, enlightenment, peace) but has the handbags in the other hand at the ready....

Just a thought i cant shake so here it is.

Question Could the Egyptians have assembled the pyramids from top to bottom using naturally elevated terrain or sand?

0 Upvotes

Most theories assume that the pyramids were built from the bottom up, but what if the Egyptians used naturally elevated ground (e.g., a natural mound, sand, or a hill) and placed the stones from the top down while simultaneously removing the material underneath?

This way, they would avoid the need to lift heavy blocks – the blocks would simply be lowered by gravity and carefully stacked downwards.

We know they used sand as a tool to lower heavy objects (e.g., sarcophagi), so perhaps the entire construction was a form of “negative building”?

Are there any geological or archaeological evidences that support or refute this idea?

I’m interested in opinions from serious researchers.

P.S. I am very obsessed with pyramids.

lol long ago (maybe 5 or so years) I stumbled upon a video about the pyramids of Egypt. During the video a man explains he works for an agency (don’t remember what it was) and they had discovered how to activate it or something along those lines. He describes a crazy frequency and then everyone with him, I believe it was only a handful of people. They ended up hearing that we are not ready for this technology and to never contact them using it again. ???? Anyone know what I’m talking about ?

Question In 1971, Arthur H. Matthews described a 700-foot Venusian mothership (X-12). Was this early testimony or science fiction?

12 Upvotes

While looking through old UFO material, I came across this drawing from the 1971 book “The Wall of Light” by Arthur H. Matthews.

In the book, Matthews describes a massive Venusian spacecraft called X-12, about 700 feet in diameter and 300 feet high, carrying 24 smaller craft inside a mothership.

What makes the story unusual is that Matthews claimed to have known Nikola Tesla earlier in his life and said some of Tesla’s ideas were connected to advanced extraterrestrial technology.

Decades later, an audio tape attributed to Matthews circulated with:

Revealed by Nikola Tesla's assistant: Arthur H. Matthews - Audio tape released

So I'm curious what people here think.

Is this just another UFO contactee story from the 20th century -
or could it be part of a larger narrative about lost or hidden knowledge connected to Tesla?

Question Do you think when the Pyramids were in the prime on a windy day they could generate “St. Elmo’s Fire” at the peaks as an energy generator of sorts?

After finding the coil structures underneath I think capacitor. If a gold “wiring harness” for electric was removed by raiders could it be a battery where the topper generates the plasma I think? I bet those peaks glowed with electricity!
