It really depends on how you choose to look at it. In early civilizations, the people did not have the ability (knowledge, understanding, whatever you choose to call it) to make distinctions between science and religion. What I mean is, what one person sees as the sun evaporating some rain water, another may see as the Gods cursing the land for the humans failing to sacrifice enough virgins. I don't believe that attributing human characterisitcs to physical events should discount the theory of ET's intervening throughout human history. The people were trying to transcribe the events in their own words. If they see someone flying through the air, they have no idea what a rocket or airplane is. They know that birds fly through the air, so they depict people with bird wings (Angels?). Do you see where I'm coming from? Again, religious texts are filled with numerous literal physical encounters between humans and "Gods."

In my summation, they are a hybrid of the ET's and humans at the time (be it by mating or DNA restructuring, etc).

I can't remember all of the intricacies of the dimensions of the Great Pyramid, but there are many unique little facts like that. It was an architectural marvel, which is why it was named one of the Wonders of the Ancient World. And while it was/is very impressive, the alien theory is just something you toss in to a high school history lecture to keep kids interested. They don't know how exactly it was built but there are many perfectly legitimate theories.

Yes, I am quite aware of these facts, so you can stop talking to me like I am a child whom is being taught a history lesson at the local pre-school. What I believe you're overlooking is how these civilization came to possess this great skill and knowledge. The scale of the monolithic structures and the planning required would be a magnificent feat for today's architects and builders. The extraction and transportation of the stones, the laser-like precision of the cuts, the erection of the monuments. These are all things that even today's science cannot explain. So how did it get done thousands of years ago?

There is evidence. The Roswell crash recovered a ship and 2 alien bodies. There are numerous local reports of this in their newspapers, and testimonials by people who actually witnessed the events.
Guys, I'm not trying to argue here. I simply took the opportunity to add my two cents worth to the discussion, as well as my own personal experiences. I know I sound crazy, believe me, I can't live this down. But I know what I have seen and experienced. If it hadn't happened to me I would not believe it either, so I can't expect any of you to, that's understandable. I would rather just not talk about it than be ridiculed, but it is what it is.
Maybe this could have a possible connection to my pineal cell brain tumor and my epileptic seizures, as they were discovered out of nowhere after 20+ years of good health. I don't know. I'm just giving my opinions. However far-fetched they may seem, I can assure you that they were attained after much research and deliberation.
