For anyone who's interested, this is a pretty good book. The guy is a Physicist and he basically lists a number of seemingly far-fetched inventions (large-scale teleportation, 'Star Trek' style Warp-Drives), etc, and rates them on a scale of 1 to 3 on how advanced a civilisation would have to be technology-wise to create them. From what he writes, some of the stuff is going to be available to us within a century, whereas some of it could be out of reach for Millennia.

Theoretical Physicist — Dr. Michio Kaku is the co-creator of string field theory, a branch of string theory. He received a B.S. (summa cum laude) from Harvard University in 1968 where he came first in his physics class. He went on to the Berkeley Radiation Laboratory at the University of California, Berkeley and received a Ph.D. in 1972. In 1973, he held a lectureship at Princeton University. Michio continues Einstein’s search for a “Theory of Everything,” seeking to unify the four fundamental forces of the universe—the strong force, the weak force, gravity and electromagnetism. He is the author of several scholarly, Ph.D. level textbooks and has had more than 70 articles published in physics journals, covering topics such as superstring theory, supergravity, supersymmetry, and hadronic physics. Professor of Physics — He holds the Henry Semat Chair and Professorship in theoretical physics at the City College of New York, where he has taught for over 25 years. He has also been a visiting professor at the Institute for Advanced Study at Princeton, as well as New York University (NYU).
Yeah, that's what I'm saying - the best Physicists always seem to be the ones who, on the surface, seem completely mental. It was meant as a compliment!
Perhaps you do have to be slightly off centre to be a great scientist but crazy is not an adjective I would use in this case.
This is an interesting subject, but loads of it is a bit too far fetched for me. I've seen so many documentaries trying to read into past events, looking for clues about aliens, and if they were all true we've basically been surrounded by aliens for millennia, whilst they give us a hand sometimes in war and for new technologies... Now on the proof side there are many many events/constructions/stories that are very believable. All the Sumerian texts are really ****ed up, from accurate maps of the solar system to stories of encounters with aliens, and that is pretty weird. The giant temples/rocks/lines in the desert also need some explaining, because it does seem like a strange thing to do/have been done. Basically, my problem with it is, if aliens did give us a hand at various points throughout history, I really don't think they'd do it and "cover it up", and surely there would be more evidence/accounts of it actually happening (this is more for later civs, like Egyptians).
That's the point Toby, there may have a been a cataclysmic disaster which wiped the vast majority of the evidence out.
You could use that as an excuse for absolutely anything. If any person in the appropriate fields tried to use that as an excuse for their crackpot theory/theories being entirely unsupported by logic or evidence, they'd be laughed at. For a start, there'd be a lot of evidence for the 'cataclysmic disaster' itself.
As National Geographic reports... Yonaguni Jima "For example, Kimura said, he has identified quarry marks in the stone, rudimentary characters etched onto carved faces, and rocks sculpted into the likenesses of animals. "The characters and animal monuments in the water, which I have been able to partially recover in my laboratory, suggest the culture comes from the Asian continent," he said. "One example I have described as an underwater sphinx resembles a Chinese or ancient Okinawan king." Whoever created the city, most of it apparently sank in one of the huge seismic events that this part of the Pacific Rim is famous for, Kimura said. The world's largest recorded tsunami struck Yonaguni Jima in April 1771 with an estimated height of more than 131 feet (40 meters), he noted, so such a fate might also have befallen the ancient civilization. Kimura said he has identified ten structures off Yonaguni and a further five related structures off the main island of Okinawa. In total the ruins cover an area spanning 984 feet by 492 feet (300 meters by 150 meters). The structures include the ruins of a castle, a triumphal arch, five temples, and at least one large stadium, all of which are connected by roads and water channels and are partly shielded by what could be huge retaining walls. Kimura believes the ruins date back to at least 5,000 years, based on the dates of stalactites found inside underwater caves that he says sank with the city. And structures similar to the ruins sitting on the nearby coast have yielded charcoal dated to 1,600 years ago-a possible indication of ancient human inhabitants, Kimura added.
Not this ****e AGAIN! There is no God(s). Want proof? Is there any evidence of God's existence? No, none whatsoever. There you go.
It depends how long ago the flood happened, if it was 100,000 years ago what evidence would you expect to find of a civilisation apart from sstructures buit of rock?
True Dev but there are many more accounts of aliens "helping" mankind that would have occurred during recorded history, like Alexander the Great, that should have stood out more. I'm in a strange place on this subject, I would like to believe it but then I hate religion for similar reasons, so it would make me a hypocrite. As I've said many times before, it's all about the lizard people, have you seen the incredibly long interview David Icke does with Credo Mutwa? If you have a few hours to waste it's pretty entertaining
