Was Ancient Times Science/technology More Advanced Than Today's? by Originalsly: 2:33pm On Aug 14, 2016
There is nothing new under the sun Are we really advancing in science/technology?...or are we catching up with that of the past? Today we boast of the strides and progress we are making in genetic engineering.... we can clone animals.. and plants.. modify them in various ways... but is genetic engineering new?
According to the Bible. ..Adam was the first man...Eve the first woman.. both created by God... and from them the earth got all its humans. Then how is it that we have these distinct ethnic groups?....Asians... Europeans... Africans... and those "indigenous Americans and South Americans"? ...if it wasn't as a result of genetic engineering then how did this come about? We see carvings and sculptures of half man..half beast..the Sphinx.... were these as a result of the artists' imagination?...or a record of what was real?...end product of genetic engineering?...and my head scratcher...what did Noah really put in the Ark?...was it the complete animal of each kind?..or maybe some kind of ehmm... 'gene chip' of each kind?
In technology...today ...with all our gadgets and equipment... we cannot replicate the Great Pyramid...which is still a Wonder of the World... with our best brains still wondering how it was built.. and still figuring out it's significance....and this is only one of many projects of ancient times that baffle us today. So where are we really?....in front opening a gap?...or behind trying to close the gap?
Just my thoughts... lots of questions...explanations?..anybody? ...your thoughts.

was ancient science/technology more advanced than today?

No.

We can't replicate the pyramid

False.

What did noah put in the ark?

Stuff

explain to me . . .

pick a science textbook.
Re: Was Ancient Times Science/technology More Advanced Than Today's? by Nobody: 7:48pm On Aug 15, 2016
.... I like how your statement started ......... "according to the Bible".....


Once you said that, you have inadvertently made a statement which can render your whole thesis wrong.


Are our forefathers more. technologically advanced than us?


The obvious answer is no.



It doesn't mean they were dull or stupid; they just didn't have the knowledge.

hey, man. It's been too long. I've been at wikipedia, binge reading.

Anyway, you have a design for a ornithopter? Cool, mention me anywhere and we can talk about it.
Re: Was Ancient Times Science/technology More Advanced Than Today's? by Nobody: 11:23am On Aug 16, 2016
No I would say. Though the ancient Sumerians were advanced in science and also an ancient cult known as the Pythagoreans knew advanced Mathematics.

We're just in a loop recycling ancient technologies.
Aliens or advanced civilization were said to have built the pyramid.
The wall without cement or joining were said to be built by Olmec civilization....
We've lost history.
Book of Enoch can explain the relationship between ETs and humans in the past.

First off those Creation stories are anything but true. Scientifically human originated from Africa or rather the earliest human point to Africa then migrated outward. Secondly half human and half being are folklores and some religious text. The pyramid can easily be built with relative ease by modern man than those ancient. What marvel today man about the pyramids are the level of precision available to the ancient couple with the fact the amount of time, work and resources involved base on the level of technology available to them. Infact today knows how they achieve that and it wasn't easy because those pyramids course the deaths of thousands of slaves.

Lol spent alot of time watching alot documentaries instead of bbn. Those stones can easily be cut today by modern tools and transported, haul and put in place by machines. Those ancient Egyptians had to use hundreds of thousands of slaves to cut and move these stone by primitive means, we are only amaze at the amount of work out in to achieve this

I don't know but I think those stories of ETs are BS if aliens spent thousands of years on Earth, man has not been able to discover lost items that can point to these fact

Since you don't agree with the Creation theory.... what do you agree with that brought the world and living things into being? I have no doubt that man originated in Africa and traveled outwards. How would you then explain the origins of the various races. The Sphinx and others of half man half beast.... story? On the Pyramids... those theories were put into practice and failed. Today... they still don't know how it was built.

Seems you aren't following up with the old stuffs they find the soil in different parts of the world.
Coupled with the pyramid of Giza, Egypt.
Many more like that!

That of every race emanating from Africa is partially correct but, that of different colored race is an ET genetic hybridization. That is, ETs had something to do with the women of ancient times and giants came into play and changes in skin color occurred due to genetic engineering.

Lol you are the one not following. Now advance alien tech discovered except artifact coded in stones, why would an advance civilization work on stones alone. And the pyramid structures are not found only in Egypt but in different locations such as China and the Incas. While conspiracy theorist believe they had to deal with aliens couple with the stories Sumeria, I don't buy that idea. Space is a very big place and traveling those distance can't be achieved with conventional means. It requires manipulation of some sort which is definitely going to leave a tell tale sign which will be pick up detectors in earth

Nope the genetic mutation has to do with environmental condition. Study the movement and you see the color variation.darker Africans, reddish north Africa which made up Egyptians and the Sumerians then to Europe which is whiter. A scientist simply put it this way. Take picture and photocopy it, the photocopy the photocopy. Keep photocopying the new photocopy, you will each copy get whiter

Hmmm the origin of the universe is complex one as we can only trace back to the beginning of universe and not what happened before and with theories pointing towards many dimensions, it will take so much time for to try and explain. The sphinx and other half breed you are talking about, you have to read Egyptians history to understand. People of this generation don't want to read, read the Egyptians stories and their beliefs, read the Sumerians stories and their beliefs you will find out the Christian is just one of the many gods being worship by them. Follow modern Egyptian archeology on stations like national geographic channel, you will the location were the stones were cut, the system of transportation and even remains of slaves that died working on projects which spans 10s of years

Okay! The civilization that uses stone artifacts are the most advanced civilization.
That is, they could do a wide variety of things.
You might assume it's an ordinary stone. But, it's embedded with energy, frequency and vibration.
Research says the pyramid of Giza was used for vibrational healing, which means the inner column wasn't just built, but for a practical use. The Inca civilization used stone.
They are more advanced I'll say.
Nobody is sure of whether aliens or ancestors built the pyramid. The reason they speculate it's alien is because, Egyptians don't have the historical record of them building that pyramid

Hmm! Okay!
So, environmental changes transformed the black skin to white, Asian skin among others?
Then, how many years did it take that transformation to occur?

It happened over hundreds of thousands of years, the footprints are found in archeological history and in genetics. This is a scientific fact that undisputed today. So it laughable when some people claim they are the lost tribe of Israel. We actually move out not move in, so it wasn't surprising when genetic test prove it wrong.

Nope they can be called advance based on what is expected at that time, like people of the future might call us primitive but at the marvel at how were able to achieve what we have achieved base on our advancement level.

The pyramids are burial place for pharaohs and nothing more, their are archeological record of how they were built, what is kept secret are the measurements and plans, which are guarded secret. Such secret are common place in ancient kingdom, just like the Greek fire, history is filled with the stories but but till date the recipe is not known

I think those are engineered history not true history.
So, an ordinary burial site(pyramid) was aligned with the 3 orion stars accidentally?
That's not completely true.
It had other purposes.

So where will you place those long old skulls that are 540,000 years old that don't look same as human but similar.
We were mixed with foreign beings.
That is why we are different in shape from generation to generation!
Read the book of Enoch if you wish to!

There are no archeological evidence to existence of such humanoid. If they are to actually existed they would be found more in the area of Egypt and Sumeria which is around modern day Iran and Iraq. There is no real evidence except in the circle of religion and conspiracy theorist.

Fossil discovered around the period are normal size humoid at a stage of evolution, and I have read the book of Enoch. But for you to fully understand the Jewish religion very well you have to study the religious beliefs of people who predate them since they are from the same region.

You need to understand that the ancients are very religious even the cosmos is a mystery to them. Like I said before, it's not only in Egyptian you will find such pyramid. Those pyramids are not only burial place but symbol of power and authority, they give the rular Godhood. BTW Orion is an old Star system known to the ancients. Were did you think the zodiac sign originate from. Those guys map the cosmos with their naked eyes

Religion of old is simply bad science grin the truth is religion is born out of curiosity, ancients simply wish away the problem with a simple answer, the gods. While stories says the gods created man, rather it seems man created the gods. The gods created the universe was satisfactory answer to many questions at the time that didn't spot some curious mind to explore further. preceding religion hold their origin to either the Sumerians or Egyptians which shares similarities

Well we are not as unique as we thought we are biologically. We share all our biological make up with other species, while we have one of the most complex brains, a simple thing as the flight mechanism for birds are also complex that Even we with our monster brain can't achieve it. Simply put the environment force us to a corner were we evolve the best mode for survival.

The eye in Illuminati is called the evil eye of Horus.
So, I suspect this guy must be a strong deputy of the devil.
