Alien Landing Platform Discovered at Petra

Without looking it up, my guess would be that it has to be one of the most useless degrees one can get in college: Sociology, Communications, or Film.

@Sallent Very close!
I'll let a few others guess before I spoil it.

 

English Literature?

 

Getting colder VK!
Sallent was almost dead on.

 

HA! I know, but I won't tell you (better with the intonations).

 

Surprised no one said Alienology

 

I just looked it up. I can't believe I came so close to guessing it. And most importantly, I can't believe the History Channel would let someone who's not even qualified to be a dog catcher lecture others about history. No wonder the show is a pile of fossilized dinosaur poop.

 

Well I might as well spill the beans.
Mr. Giorgio Tsoukalos has a bachelors degree in sports information communication from Ithaca college, NY.
To sum it up, he is about as qualified to talk about ancient history and alien life as my dog is!

 

That's a really beautiful dog.

 

Thanks, her name is Rosie, and she is a beagle. Looking back on it I think I should have named her Bagel, the beagle

 

It was not a useless degree for me. It was my first of several and was quite enjoyable.

 

I didn't mean it in reference to Sallent's post. From Magnus Maximus's post (#20) I tried thinking of something completely different from archaeology and history and thought of English Lit

 

We did a Jordan tour just after the Syrians had the gas episodes in Damascus (40kms away from Amman). There were a few refugees already starting to filter into UNICEF tented areas and I feel for all in the whole area; very few people want all of the trouble. Jordan is pro west and everyone I met could not do more to make our trip fantastic and they need your tourist money now more than ever.

Walking down towards the Treasury through the the rocky sides is one of my life's memories and sitting at the candle lit evening session will always remain with me.

 

I would rather have a history lesson from Rosie than Tsoukalos.

 

I can't see why they make a fuss about anal probes, I had a penile probe yesterday and it was no big deal, quite interesting to see my insides, in fact.

Why would aliens need a landing platform? If earthlings can invent the all terrain vehicle, I assume the aliens could manage an all terrain speceship.

 

=> oh, and Rosie absolutely rocks!! (she looks very smart ... but she also looks like she may need to go for a few walks to burn-off some of that smartness?!)



When I was growing-up, my best friend had a beagle named "Isaac" ... Isaac had really bad skin problems and spent most of his time pacing back and forth underneath my friend's pool table (scratching his back on the cross-bars) ...... we would often take Isaac and my dog Phoenix for walks (both dogs had amazing snouts that could pick-up scents ... we'd play hide and seek and the dogs always found us immediately, as expected .... but every now and then Isaac would catch the scent of a deer, or perhaps a rabbit and he'd be gone for the day ..... man, my friend's father used to get so angry when we'd return home without poor Isaac!!)

... good times (45 years later and that dude is still my closest friend)

 

Aliens.. E.T.s.. That's for movies. Man did not count on them to build the Pyramids or to invent the airplane.

 

More information than I need. Good luck with that.

 

On one episode of "Ancient Aliens" they said the German highly advanced technology ie: Me-262 jet fighter/Horten Slealth Fighter/Ar-234 jet bomber/V-2 rockets/type XXII u-boots/ tec. were result of 'alien help'. They missed the fact that maybe the Germans are smart themselves. They even said Werner Von Braun conferred with aliens!
