The Ancient Astronomy Theory is Correct

C1: The Nazca LinesPro's argument for C1 can be broken down into 2 main points.a) Why would the Peruvians do it (if not for alien run-ways)? b) Where is all the rubble you would expect from a smoothed-off mountain? I will be responding to these arguments in this order.a) First thing to point out is that simply because we don't know why the Peruvians would make such lines does not mean that aliens did it. That is jumping to conclusions. Furthermore, the "alien runway" hypothesis doesn't actually explain anything. Why make a run-way in the shape of a monkey? How could that possibly help with landing a spacecraft? Also, some of these lines are several miles long (with several over 6 miles, up to 15 miles long) [1]. Even the most inefficient of human-made aircrafts require only about 1 mile of runway [2]. Does Pro really expect us to believe that advanced inter-galactic alien aircrafts required 6-15+ times the amount of runway space as our aircrafts? -- In the shape of animals no less?b) It is true that there is no rubble underneath the Nazca lines, but we wouldn't expect their to be any, because the Nazca lines are NOT located on top of a mountain. They are located on top of a plateau;"The Nazca Lines /ˈnæzkə/ are a series of ancient geoglyphs located in the Nazca Desert in southern Peru. They were designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1994. The high, arid plateau stretches more than 80 kilometres (50 mi) between the towns of Nazca and Palpa on the Pampas de Jumana about 400 km south of Lima." [3]Plateaus are a lot like mountains, except they have naturally formed flat tops, and the way they form is very well known [4]. In fact, 45% of the earth's surface is covered in plateaus [5]. Why does no-one ask where all the rubble from these plateaus went? C2: The Pyramids of Giza and TeotihuacanPro's arguments:a) TGPOG is exactly at the intersection between the equator and the prime-meridianb) Every face lines up w/ cardinal North, East, West, and South (and the Egyptians didn't have compasses)c) Short build time (10-20 years)d) Millions of heavy blocks that they couldn't movee) The sun pyramid has almost the same perimeter, despite being on the other side of the planetf) The 3 great pyramids are in a line at the same angle the sun and moon pyramids would be in if there was a 3rd pyramidg) Both the sun and the moon pyramids are in line with a planetThere's a lot to go through here, but before I start it should be noted that Pro has only provided sources for arguments "c", "d" and "e". that means "a", "b", "f" and "g" are immediately dismissible as they are unsupported at this point in the debate.a) The Prime-Meridian is an imaginary line created in 1884, almost 4.5 thousand years after TGPOG was built [6]. Also, neither the prime-meridian, nor the equator even pass through Egypt, let alone the pyramids [8][7].b) Anyone with the ability to notice that the sun rises in the East and sets in the west can line up an object with the cardinals. No aliens needed. c) It took 20 years, but this isn't unreasonable as I will show.d) 85% of the pyramids stones where made of soft sand-stone which was cut on-site. The larger stones were dug out of the ground, lifted with levers onto a sled, dragged to a boat, and shipped via the Nile [9]. e) It's true that these two pyramids have a very close perimeter, but this isn't all that spectacular. Consider that TGPOG is about 2x as tall as the Sun pyramid [10][11]. Furthermore, most of the worlds major pyramids have very similar perimeters [12]. Did aliens go around earth telling everyone which perimeter to shoot for, but leave out the base dimensions and height? Why? And what evidence is there of this?f) The Pyramid of the sun is about 4km away from the pyramid of the moon [13]. Khufu is about 3/4 of a mile from Menkaure [14]. Your picture has been doctored to make it look like the pyramids line up in a significant way, when really all you've done is draw a line through the pyramids and claimed they line up the same way. You can do that with literally any 2 objects if you pay no attention to distance. g) Which ones? And how is that possible given that where the other planets are located relative to the Earth constantly changes given that each planet is in constant motion along several axes? And how does this prove aliens where involved? -- that is to ask, of what possible use could this be to aliens?C3: References in Writinga) Ezekiel describes meeting gods and seeing flying metal machinesb) Pacal looks like he's in a space shipc) Indian descriptions of Vimanas (flying machines)d) Mayan knowledge of astronomyThis time, there are no sources given whatsoever. Pro noted a fourth citation, but he never actually added it. a) No source. I can't verify or falsify this yet.b) This image does not resemble modern day space ships at all, but even if it did, wouldn't alien ships look much more advanced than our own? If that's a seat, it's the least ergonomically designed seat I've ever seen in my life (no back support a all?). His hands aren't actually touching anything, his mouth is actually empty and if you know anything about engines, you'll know that there's nothing in this picture that even resembles an engine. The truth is, this is a very common depiction in Mayan mythology. This image was made on a sarcophagus lid for a reason, and that reason is because it depicts Pacal's transition to the after life. All the images on the lid are traditional Mayan symbolism for this process [15]c) The Vimanas were the palaces of the Gods. They could fly, but they flew via flying horse-drawn chariots [16]-- an odd method for aliens to use. It's much more likely that this is mere mythology, not an alien encounter.d) This is the point that pro forgot to add his citation for, so I'll hold off on this one until next round as well.ConclusionBasically every single point made by Pro is falsified by just a little fact-checking. At this point, there is no compelling evidence for Ancient Astronaut Theory and therefore the resolution is negated.1. http://peru-facts.co.uk... 2. http://planes.findthebest.com... 3. http://en.wikipedia.org... 4. http://science.nationalgeographic.com... 5. http://hassam.hubpages.com... 6. http://en.wikipedia.org... 7. http://abagond.files.wordpress.com... 8. http://toolserver.org... 9. http://www.youtube.com...
