Dating of Global Pyramid Structures

The above graphic shows the approximate dating of pyramid structures around the world. It has become a recent popular trend for people to claim the great pyramid structures from around the world were constructed around the same time because ancient Annunaki aliens were enslaving mankind and/or teaching us to form civilization. The ancient sources talk about the Annunaki and other creatures who came from the water to give mankind the tools of civilization. These ancient myths and great pyramid structures appear on the vital cusp of early civilization. Early civilizations depended on highly organized agricultural production. The ancient societies of Egypt and Southern Iraq were tight hierarchies of aristocratic families, powerful priests, and laborers. Early urban societies have many shared attributes. They appear on highly fertile alluvial soil along great rivers which carry minerals from distant mountains. Egypt had the Nile river valley the Sumerians had the Euphrates. This hierarchy based mass organized labor urban society were marvels in themselves. Organized labor allowed great building feats to be possible in the off-season so-to-speak. When the time is over for planting and harvesting farmers needed to be organized to maintain and dig canals which carried water to the garden plots. Powerful  leaders pulled their laborers from the masses who toiled in the fields. The pyramid or ziggurat structure is a result of several factors. First, it is a highly stable structure which could be built to great heights prior to the use of columns and arches. It is a naturally stable shape for early builders. The "mastaba" shape is the base of the Ziggurat. Labor could build one layer each year and after many seasons a high ziggurat would tower over their city, houses, and fields. Second, these great feats are a result of a collective effort. This collective effort is symptomatic of the conditions of our earliest known urban civilizations. To ascribe these feats to ancient aliens, for example, is to ignore great amounts of information we have about the origins of human civilization. However, this does not disprove the existence of aliens, it only says aliens are unnecessary for humans to organize and form urban civilization.

Earth Humanoids & Ancient Aliens

I have been thinking about ideas I would like to express regarding one of the latest History Channel and cyberspace fads, the topic of ancient aliens. Just to be clear, I think we will one day discover some form of alien life, but I do not think aliens are responsible for early human civilizations and all the technologies needed to create such a society. I think humans in certain geographical zones will eventually develop a basic civilization given time and stability. I will talk more about ancient alien arguments some other time, but I wanted to lay out some very basic ideas regarding one idea which ancient alien apologetics like to proclaim. It is the idea that homosapien exists because ancient aliens came to earth and bred with hominids which resulted in the formation of our own species. The movie 'Prometheus' uses this idea, but it is difficult for many, from what I read, to understand the backstory at the beginning of the film. I thought it was quite clear, but I already knew about the theory, and I was able to make the connection. Ancient alien enthusiasts like to theorize that the aliens created us, a sub-species, in order to make slaves out of us or for some biological reason.

The one area where ancient alien ideas are noticeably real: the entertainment and book industry.

Here are my recent Tweets on the subject:

If #AncientAliens bred w/ earth hominid, they would have related DNA, which means they were not alien. The argument requires genetic-sci.

The Ancient Alien argument seems to attempt to fill the gap necessitated by the question "why are we the only ones like ourselves?"

Anthropology answers the question "why are we the only ones like ourselves" by showing that there were other species similar to us.

Other species like us existed in the past. They bred together until homosapien became the dominate type - others died out.

Some humans have #Neanderthal DNA, there are others who do not. #ForExample
