Do NASA's observations rebut the Greens rhetoric?

YES

 

Earth has been hit multiple times.

 

Only one to date Liquefied the Earth's crust.

 

"an event 11600 years ago" 11,000y, It's still 30 MILLION of years younger than one that hit the, (Its center is located near the town of Chicxulub, Mexico)

 

It was a large enough one, to disintegrate a deposit of rock, (Gypsum) that simmered like charcoal in the sky.

 

History in the millions . Gondwanaland about 550 million years ago. Earth life in the Billions of years.

Yes, Spacey, its quite a big timeline and a lot of big almost unimaginable events have happened. They were all missed by humans because our specie has only been conscious for such a little blip on the timeline.

 

Probably most of the early events will remain as theories, because very often the remaining evidence is scant or undiscovered.

I don't understand the desire to find that amazing technology in the hands of some ancients. The pyramids, for example, are quite crude structures quite explicable by the technology, such as it was, of the day.

 

The book " chariots of the gods " was written by a bloke called Von Daniken while he was in jail for dishonesty of some sort.

It is incredible how much we have learned about the Past in our lifetimes. The Alvarez hypothesis of the cause of the extinction of dinosaurs ( Alvarez hypothesis - Wikipedia ) is one of these. The historical record of our planet is written in stone - the fossil record. We can extend the meaning of 'fossil' from simply bones to all anomalies frozen in the rocks, then we have a mass of information to decipher.

 

Considering the great length of previous geological Ages, the ratio of the number of fossils formed to the number of organisms that lived is very small. The fossil records of Homo sapiens are scant, probably due to our ancestors being dry land creatures. It is held that our species became unique about 160,000 years ago, but was still able to interbreed with closely related species up until about 10,000 years ago when the other species died out.

 

Our best examples of early civilization, meaning a change from nomadic hunter/gatherers to settled life styles date from about 5000 BCE. That leaves 5-7000 years for earlier, as yet undiscovered civilizations. However, we can see that early, advanced civilizations erected buildings in stone, which withstands the wrath of Nature. Since there are no known more ancient constructions in stone found in the inhabitable parts of the World, it is reasonable to theorize that there were no such civilizations prior to 5000 BCE.

 

However, I am a strong believer that the myths of each civilization contain kernels of truth, even Aboriginal Dreamtime stories. The most famous examples of Indian culture are the Ramayana and the Mahabharata. These retell famous incidents in semi-mythological history, far back in the Vedic age. The Vedic age was a “dark age” in Indian history, in that it was a time of violent upheaval, and no written records from that period have survived to shed light on it.

Looks like you need to do some homework, Bruce. Would you like me to post some links to amazing ancient relics that we cannot explain?

From the Smithsonian website:

 

 

Six miles from Urfa, an ancient city in southeastern Turkey, Klaus Schmidt has made one of the most startling archaeological discoveries of our time: massive carved stones about 11,000 years old, crafted and arranged by prehistoric people who had not yet developed metal tools or even pottery. The megaliths predate Stonehenge by some 6,000 years. The place is called Gobekli Tepe, and Schmidt, a German archaeologist who has been working here more than a decade, is convinced it's the site of the world's oldest temple.

A truly remarkable find, PM, but excavation is far from complete. Archaeologists are necessarily cautious in their conclusions. Who knows why the monuments at Gobekli Tepe were built, but we can be sure that "conventional" history is in for a shake-up.

 

I'm a bit more interested in who built these massive structures, and how they did it.

The reason we Need that Old technology.

 

They didn't use Fossil fuel,

 

And if the Big stones were carved by "sound-waves" We really Do need it.

 

Also to "Lift" those stone Megaliths, :Ancient Aliens - Coral Castle Code & Moving Megaliths: , Is something I could use for my HummelBird.

Your hummelbird will be up in the air if you bury it in sand and then remove the sand, but you have to be very fast or it will fall down before you do much with it.. Sand will support the structure as you build it on a firm surface. When it sets just take the sand away. Nev
