I was just sent the image below from a friend who asked for my opinion.
I often get pictures like this that people think “prove” certain ideas about ancient alien influence on world civilizations. Asinine. Pardon my yawn.
Let me summarize what this proves:
All ancient cultures believed the gods lived where humans did not and could not – mountains, the depths of the sea, the waters above the sky, below the earth, etc. They also believed the gods lived in the best possible places – hence also the luxuriant garden idea, known best in arid cultures where finding an oasis was a big deal.
Taking the “gods live on mountains” idea, to localize a deity so that you can worship it and offer sacrifice, in return for blessing and barter, you’d build the deity a vacation home – in the shape of a mountain, like his or her real home. A home away from home.
Do you have a source for where that image is being used?
They probably built multiple different shaped buildings but the only ones that survived are pyramids.
So pls pls tell me how come the bases of the pyramids of mexico and gazi just “happen” to be the exact same. Look it up
It’s a little thing I like to call “math”.
Seems to me this could be a result of all humans having once been in/on the supercontinent of Pangea. The days before Peleg?
Yes? No?
Makes sense since the human race had been scattered around the time of Peleg and the Tower of Babel story occurred near that time. Perhaps each continent’s inhabitants took with them the knowledge gained while constructing Babel and they were not going to stop building “towers” or giving up the practices God disapproved of?
