Atlantis DID exist,it was part of the Lemurian continent
Lemuria: Lots of modern BS. Not even invented until the 1800s.

Mu: Again, invented in the 19th Century to explain later civilizations. No ancient records at all.

Minoan civilization: A real ancient civilization, recently discovered. The only thing special about it is that it's an ancient civilization recently disovered.

Thule: A mythical, possibly real land, mentioned several time in ancient and medieval sources. The problem is that every mention refers to something different than the others. May be the Orkneys, may be Iceland, may be Norway, may be anything. Nothing special about it.

ancient ET wars on earth: Now that's a good joke. Lots of sites formed by True Believers, no real evidence at all. Here's a good link you led me to:
http://www.philipcoppens.com/bestevidence.html

The one you forgot to include in your Google list was Atlantis, or you would have known that from its mention by Plato it was likely an Island in the Mediterranean (the 'Pillars of Herakles') referred to many different landmarks, not just present-day Gibraltar). Thera is a good candidate, as it was apparently destroyed by tsunami due to volcanic action.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atlantis

If this thing turns out to be an ancient spaceship I'll be amazed and delighted, for I would love to find such evidence. But if it turns out to be something else, will you stop believing? No, you'll just look for more, because you are a True Believer, and this stuff is your God, and I'm rapidly losing any respect I had for you. Sorry.

I have no GOD Steve,and if you want to lose respect for me thats fine,I never asked for respect in the first place.
We are all entitled to our opinions,beliefs,inspirations etc,if people cant handle that they can do me a favour and take cyanide,its none of their business.

Now the one thing that 'I' for one cant stand and thats religious people,because they try to force 'their' beliefs on others and they havent even seen god or any of their poxy bloody miracles themselves!.They are all a bunch of weak minded sheep trying to find their own reasons for their existence,and they call it religion,what a joke.

And god is probably an ET anyway.

Rant over. *damn!*

But you talk like a True Believer, and that's all anyone can tell.

No, let me rephrase that. If it's not your God, why do try so hard to convince everyone to believe it?

Steve,

I posted a bloody innocent piece of information I happened to see in the paper today,what the hell is wrong with that?! lots of people have fringe beliefs,alternative views,out of the box mindsets,just like Werner Von Braun did,remember him?

So much for freedom of speech,what a crock.



This thread is over (on my part at least),I wont be posting any of this stuff again *sigh*

Guess i'm going to get another infraction for speaking my mind here.

Also,if you can show me any evidence of me trying to FORCE anyone to do anything then I take back all I have said here and hang my head in defeat.
There is NO indication that I was trying to do 'anything' ,just share some interesting information,whether people believe anything or not is their business and individual rights to be honest.

Nothing at all. But you went on to preach it and defend it and post links to 'prove' it. And now you're upset because people think you're rather silly to do so?

The nazi that we stole. Sure, I remember him. Lots of people also try to 'prove' their bizarre ideas to the mainstream, and get ridiculed for it.

Not at all. You're free to say anything you want. And so am I. No one has told you can't say it, so your freedom hasn't been touched.

Probably for the best. If you want to believe something preposterous, fine. If it turns out to be true I'll be the first to apologize. But when you insist on preaching it you've got to expect opposition.

My final post on this thread,a sort of consolation if you will.

There is absolutely no shame or reason to be embarrassed WHATSOEVER for finding topics such as UFOs,aliens,ET civilizations,nazis on the moon,nazi super soldiers etc etc interesting.On the contrary it is good,as it fires our imaginations,and imagination (thought/consciousness etc) is the seed of all creation.



If people want to call me a nut,fine,but man do I have a great imagination,something mainstream society is seriously lacking these days
