Ancient Aliens Episode of History's Mysteries

History channels "Ancient Aliens," poses the question to the audience, "do ancient texts refer to extraterrestrials?" This one-hour episode explores evidence of UFO sightings throughout time, written in texts, the Bible, depicted in ancient stone statues and modern sightings of spacecraft as important clues to ancient aliens' presence on the earth.

Just watched the second episode. I was shocked that the history channel would fund such garbage. Where was the archeologist's balance?

Before watching the "Ancient Alien" series I had never heard of this theory, or I may have but not remembered it. I generally like to keep an open mind about many things, well as long as they make sense. I do believe there is life beyond our Earth and I do not deny the possibility of space faring civilizations simply because discounting self annihilation that is what our own future is looking like, but it is also entirely possible that we are also the most advanced civilization in our galaxy too. After watching these episodes which continuously degraded in quality and referencing; going from it's possible that advanced civilizations have visited us to such things as: slave labor, mating, conquest, aerial battles, power plants and etc. The latest episode "The Mission" explored the reasons why the aliens would come here These "Ancient Astronaut theorists" seemed OK in the first two episodes, but when they started giving their reasoning as to why even a hyper advanced galactic civilization would want to interact with us I got a little bit angry - they are delusional and completely out of touch with what is real science and evolution of technology.. my opinion.

I am not against the fact that an advanced civilization may have visited us, but I think it would have been a curious endeavor and not more than a probe for long term observation where the level of actual interaction and disturbance is kept to the absolute minimum. I ordered "the chariots of the gods"..lol

A Visit to The holocaust Museum

visiting the holocaust museum was a very moving experience. I was reminded of the tragedy that the world experienced and saw first hand many tangible artifacts that pointed to this great inhumanity.I learned not to take things for granted, appreciate the life you have right now. You sometimes may say “life is unfair.

But is it really? If you think hard, do you really think it is? Some may say so but it really isn’t. How would you like if you had to die young and have everything taken from you, your family, your friends, and your life. It’s not great is it? Visiting the museum was great even though the thoughts going through my head at the time was filled with sadness.

Is the President Naive????

I have been a big fan of President Obama from the beginning. He's a brilliant, energetic, pragmatic thinker, as opposed to being a one-note politician who is held hostage by his own ideology. However, lately, I've been thinking that the President has a fatal flaw. He just fails to understand that no matter how many concessions he makes and no matter how inclusive he is, the Republican Party and right-wing will never work with him. They will never do anything that might give him the appearance of being an effective leader. They will continue to obstruct and delay every good piece of legislation that Obama introduces. The President's failure to understand this unfortunate reality does not go down well with people like me who expect the government to govern. I'm not sure how the President can best deal with the opposition party's obstructionist strategy, but thinking that he can reason with them or achieve any kind of effective compromise is just unfortunately sad and absurd.

The Bible Code???

I just spent the last two hours watching these so-called "Bible codes" on the history channel.These so called codes are just made up. There is no way you can apply the same idea to any long piece of text and find any message that you are looking for. If I was ever so inclined I could use this so called code to get the bible to tell me that the Flying Allien monster is really the lord of all and that he will come to us on the 7th day of the year to prove its existence.Why are these so called "predictions" meant to be hidden in the bible only discovered after the the "event"? .....simple, I think its because you can use the 'code' to find the information you are looking for. For example, the 9/11 horror wasn't predicted before the event, the hidden bible message was found by someone using this code specifically to find reference to 9/11.I do not see the importance of the code if it is only meant to show past event and not predict the future ones.

Really, if the bible is such an authoritative text, why would the authors have hidden any special messages in the text? Surely they would have just included it. Somehow I can't imagine that when the bible was being written, over hundreds of years and not in english, that the collective authors determined and passed on a code so that when the bible was translated to the English language, that may not have even existed at the time......I wonder if the code predicted that i was going to stop typing right abouttttttttttttt ....................now?
