“That’s an ongoing process which will eventually uncover a much grander picture of ancient history than we ever suspected.”
As a believer in the Bible, I’ve wondered if some of this seemingly supernatural stuff (like the pyramids) IS supernatural. Some Bible verses seem to point to angels living on earth and having children with humans - the Nephalim were the offspring iirc. Perhaps some angel built a pyramid to woo some hot human chick?
And then of course another angel built another pyramid and said “mine’s bigger!”.
And of course there is the NT verse about having the faith of a mustard seed that one could move a mountain!
I knew a guy that built gravity meters. Years ago he consulted with the Air Force. Their missiles weren’t behaving how they thought they would behave. One possibility was anti-gravity forces, so this guy did some studies for it. He couldn’t measure anything - but he said the low levels that a possible anti-gravity force would have was probably beyond being able to measure it in the field.
I just thought it was interesting that both the Air Force and this gravity expert both thought that it was a possibility, and enough of one to actively pursue it. The guy I knew said something like “Every other natural force has a positive and a negative - why shouldn’t gravity?”
That's kinda the ancient astronaut theory in a nutshell. To ancient primitives, an advanced culture such as ours would appear to be supernatural, and our technology to be magic.
It wouldn't be a stretch for them to consider such people to be gods. This has actually happened many times in recorded history, when backwards people were suddenly confronted with visitors from more technologically advanced societies.
I've got an open mind where it comes to biblical accounts of the Nephilim, giants on the earth, etc. If we take those ancient chroniclers at their word...
