Ancient Lost Races When we think about ancient people, we have to realize they were just as smart as us and were just missing the technology. Maybe I should not put things that way, because they did have some technologies we can’t equal today. There are construction mysteries and even mysteries on how they were able to use nano technology 2,000 years ago. The study of ancient races is not only fascinating, but we seem to find races, every once in a while, we didn’t know existed. There is also the fact we have found things which are out of place in time and impossible to exist, and yet they are there. I often wonder if there was an advanced race which was lost in the annals of time. They could have developed here or maybe settled here and came from another planet. If they existed and were the first, could they have started the dissemination of knowledge to others? Perhaps there were no others to give this knowledge to yet so they left a library which was created to be easy to understand and this was found many thousands or hundreds of thousands of years later and while some of the info was used, eventually the books or scrolls were destroyed. I have no proof of any of this and I am not talking about Atlantis, but a far older civilization, which is so old no one on earth will ever find any record of its existence. If there are human looking aliens, could it be their race was once bound to earth, but got so advanced they left for the stars for some reason? A race so old the dynamics of the earth eventually wiped out any trace of their existence? There does seem to be a wall we can’t pierce when we start going back in time. Sure, the scientific community will say this is utter nonsense, but how many times have they been wrong when saying places never existed only to have them being found years later. Take Troy for existence, that was not supposed to exist before Heinrich Schliemann discovered it in 1871. There are also countries which have been referred to in ancient texts which have never been found. Records show ancient Egypt traded with the country of Punt, but we have never found its location. One of the games people play is trying to guess where it might have been. One of the problems with trying to go back really far into the past is nothing might be left to find, but perhaps we could look somewhere else than on earth for structures and evidence. A place which is now within our reach and never was before Apollo 11. Yes, I am talking about the moon. There are constant rumors of ruins on the moon which seem ancient and might have been put there by an advanced earth civilization. Things last far longer on the moon than earth. When Neil Armstrong walked on the moon, he left foot prints and it is said they could last for millions of years. Imagine how long a structure would last. Years ago, a book named Dark Mission came out which was written by Richard Hoagland and Mike Bara. I interviewed Bara and you can listen to it on this site. The book claimed there were ruins on the moon and they were very ancient. One of the things it spoke about were the remains of glass domes over some of the craters and a giant glass tower which has been estimated to be about one and a half miles in height. The tallest structure on earth currently, is the Burj Khalifa skyscraper in Dubai. It is 2717 feet tall. The tower on the moon is said to be about 7900 feet tall. There are some mysteries which are said to be left behind by unknown races and one is said to be the Golden Library. It has been said no other than Neil Armstrong with a large expedition attempted to find it. Armstrong is said to have denied he went on the search. The Golden Library is said to exist somewhere in a cave in Ecuador. I think it is important to note if the story is true, it is a significant fact the books were made of gold leaf, because gold would last almost forever. This would mean the race that created the books had a very long-range plan and that might have been to enlighten humans in the far future. Continents which have existed in the past, along with islands, have been consumed by earth’s oceans. There might have been advanced races living somewhere on these continents or islands, but it was so long ago any trace of them which might have existed is long gone. It is possible, as I said above, there could have been advanced races, more advanced than us in the past. We know the earth is at least 4.5 billion years old, so intelligent life might have sprung up and either moved out or died quite a few times. There is also the possibility a past race might have discovered things we can’t figure out today. Nothing was more shocking than when the Antikythera mechanism was found to be a working 2000-year-old mechanical computer, likely of ancient Greek origin. The big question was how could such an ancient race have constructed the gears and such, which were thought to have not been invented until 1500 years later? Another question is how come there was no record of this computer anywhere and were there others? It seems the ancient Greeks built something which was unequaled until 1822 when Babbage built the more advance Difference Engine. This also leads me to wonder if the Romans hadn’t conquered the Greeks, where would our technology be today? We would already probably be on other planets and even at other solar systems, but might have destroyed ourselves by now. We might have built a nuke in the Middle Ages, and given the type of societies which existed there might have been nuclear warfare and eventually we might have wiped ourselves out. Even today we are not doing so good with the war thing. That is one area where we don’t seem to advance very much in our thoughts. Sure, our weapons are more powerful, but it is just easier to kill more people at once than ever before. I hope someday humans will find another way, other than war, to solve their differences.
