I decided to pay sixty bucks for a review of my ancient astronaut website in order to make some progress. Of course, this was supposed to be a skeptics' assessment; a New Age believers' review would be useless. "Critical reviews of paranormal claims on the Internet," according to their blog's description. The middleman gave them five days to complete their review, but that time has passed with no news from them. My website has a large amount of evidence, and I could not reasonably expect anyone to write a thorough critical assessment in just five days.
No one, including myself, wants to witness hastily prepared and frivolous arguments; otherwise, my counter-arguments would make them look stupid. Furthermore, part of my data comes from Spanish-language sources, and they'd need time to check that none of it is a fraud to begin with. They are welcome to take as much time as they require.
It's hard to say what to expect from this blog. There are skeptics who are just as narrow-minded as their New Age rivals in their thinking, and then there are skeptics like me who objectively assess the data to reach the truth. Is it possible that there was a true ancient astronaut? I'll provide the doubters some ideas on how to debunk my hypotheses to help them answer that question. I'll focus on the archaeological evidence here for the sake of space, leaving thoughts on how to dispute the cryptology and theology evidence for another day.
My website features engravings from Bolivia's Tanaka culture. One of the engravings portrays the putative ancient astronaut as an aquatic with a three-pronged tail, each of which ends in a pod. How do doubters respond to that? Easy. They only have to show that the shape of the pods mimics some type of animal or plant life found in that area. To put it another way, they need to uncover a terrestrial source for those engravings, or my alien arguments will be weakened.
The Tanaka sky-god drawings are timed to match with the Nazca Lines in Peru, implying that the ancient astronaut of both locales is the same. Skeptics will discover numerous ready-made arguments for Nazca, but I believe they are all weak. The mentality of the Nazca people cannot be considered unique in human history. It must be proved that people in other parts of the world believed the sun, moon, or sky-spirits had real eyes that could see drawings on the ground. Alternatively, it must be proven that the Nazca people worshiped birds and believed them to be cognitively intelligent.
The supposed alien artifact, the cosmic Sun Disk, may prove to be the most difficult test for the skeptics. How can we believe that An dean of early sixteenth century. Knew the Earth was round, knew it was possible to orbit the Earth, knew that sunlight striking the moon could reflect back to strike a spaceship, knew that the Milky Way's dark clouds contained stars, and knew that water was the basis of plant and animal evolution? Skeptics would have to look for analogies in Western civilization's history. I eagerly await their response.
