I've watched a lot of Ancient Aliens and you cannot deny that has some interesting points.

The simple fact is some of the shit in the past was way too advanced for human civilization at that point.

The Exorcist Files was best but Vatican shut it down

>>33892307
It would be interesting if anything they said was actually true.
No one on that show knows what they're talking about

So what's the deal with ancient aliens?

How ancient are they?

Were they so ancient back in the day that they didn't live to see modern times?

Look I'm just saying, slaves could only accomplish so much. A lot of stuff though, it's hard to believe that humans did it, even if it was thousands of them.

If you're referring to the pyramids at Giza, it's well known that a paid workforce built them.

>>33892620

It wasn't aliens. It was actually atlanteans who taught everyone what they knew.

Did you even watch 10000BC?

>>33892620
You realize that humans were just as smart then as they are now right?

Eratosthenes estimated the circumference of the earth in 240 BC
most people wouldn't even know how to spell "circumference" now

>>33892658
Yeah well that's just not true, back then they didn't even know what gravity was.

>>33892652
I don't think Atlantis exists. That sounds too implausible, but a lot of the ocean is unexplored so I can't wait to find out what else might be there,

I'm just saying the show makes a good case sometimes. Some ancient cultures had knowledge that there is just no way they could have had back then, barring some sort of external influence.

This is pretty much what I think of The History Channel

Knowledge is not the same as intelligence.

We are where we are right now because we have the accumulated knowledge of everybody who came before us. It isn't a matter of us "just being smarter", it is a matter of generations of people around the world slowly discovering things piece by piece and passing that discovery on to the next generation.

If you took a person from 3000 years ago and a person from modern day, neither of them ever having been exposed to culture or society in any way, just a life of isolation from birth, neither of them would know what gravity was.

tl;dr you're fucking imbecile.

Well obviously if you find a person in 2013 living in the jungle like it's 213BC and asked them what gravity was they wouldn't know. That argument is pretty stupid.

Columbus couldn't even find India with all the brains of his time and you expect me to believe that the Incas created Saksaywaman by themselves? No way.

Why are you comparing navigational knowledge with engineering knowledge?

No it's not and really you are comparing the existence of non-existent weapons to an entire country.

which episode should I watch bros?

Let's just face it, if you want to see real historical content there's always C-Span 3 which has more american history than History combined, or you can abandon the television altogether and seek your sources online or via netflix.

If you're that adventurous, the UK, Canada, and various international countries still produce educational and informational content.

The same situation where a chimp would bite, a bonobo would roll over and present its penis for sexing.

>>33894066

>not chimps

>The bonobo (/bəˈnoʊboʊ/ or /ˈbɒnəboʊ/), Pan paniscus, formerly called the pygmy chimpanzee and less often, the dwarf or gracile chimpanzee,[3] is a great ape and one of the two species making up the genus Pan; the other is Pan troglodytes, or the common chimpanzee. Although the name "chimpanzee" is sometimes used to refer to both species together, it is usually understood as referring to the common chimpanzee, while Pan paniscus is usually referred to as the bonobo.

They're so different I don't see why they should be called a chimp, they're bonobos

two species of the genus pan. they're as different as a dog and a wolf.

okay depending on what kind of dog that might be a bad example but taxonomy is magnets.

>>33894277
You mean a dog is a type of wolf.

if i'm not mistaken the bonobos are getting extinct

they fuck a lot but don't have many babies so the population is decreasing

>>33894248
The common dog is a subspecies of the wolf, not a separate species, the taxonomic name is Canis lupus familiaris (wolf is Canis lupus)
Their estimated evolutionary divergence between dogs and wolves is 100,000 years ago
The estimated evolutionary divergence between chimps and bonobos is 1,000,000 years ago; I'd say they're more different.
