Ancient Coins Depicting Aliens And UFOs Are The Proof Alien Lived Among Us

It's called pareidolia. A very common problem when people are seeing spaceships or aliens in cave paintings, Renaissance art, or in this case old coins.

I've always thought it was funny how some people can immediately jump from "I can't explain how humans did this" to "they must have had help from aliens/god(s)/super advanced humans that no longer exist" when we can look at things that happened in modern history and see how fast humans can come up with solutions when driven towards a goal. Look at the Manhattan project and how fast they advanced the fields of physics and weaponry when the best minds were brought together with a single goal. Why couldn't a similar group of people have figured out how to build a pyramid if the Pharaoh took the brightest people, gave them essentially a blank check and said "do it"? Another example is Roman concrete: the technology is relatively simple yet was largely lost for centuries. Modern people certainly don't hold any sort of monopoly on intelligence or creativity.

 

Same...

 

If anyone is interested.

Two great sceptical podcasts that debunk this ancient aliens nonsense.

 

I agree. I also think on the lines that: The Human Braincase and mental capacity has not truly changed that much (if at all), over the last 20,000 years (200,000 years???)... Ergo, our minds are the same NOW as they were THEN. So, why do we feel that we are SMARTER now, than our ancestors? We have learned more technology, but our mental capacity is the same. Moreover, what cumulative knowledge have we LOST? Besides, look at Military tactics, philosophy, law, political structures, religion, mathematics, and several other subjects that folks have already posted... We continually pull from the ANCIENT times...

 

I think the question of Fermat's theorem is settled. It was finally proven -- yes, with computer assistance, not in any way that he could have done. But if I'm remembering correctly, mathematicians working in those areas have a pretty good idea of how he probably thought he'd proved it, and what his likely mistake was.

 

Ok, you have me. How about concrete? We take it for granted today but the west forgot how to make if for a millenia.

Btw, we think we know what his mistake was, but we have no idea if he was just smarter than us. I distinctly dislike computer theories and proofs. They may work, but completely lose any elegance and insight. They are complete only in a technical sense, displaying no genius insights humans possess.

 

Read how Eratosthenes figured out the circumference of the Earth in 240 BC:

This is pretty amazing. As someone said, people had the same Intelligence back then we do now, just not as much Knowledge of facts to work with that we do now. I first learned about Eratosthenes from the Cosmos series by Carl Sagan, which still is really worth watching.

 

Fermat's last theorem was proven by Andrew Wiles using many aspects of modern number theory that were not known in Fermat's day. The proof is 150 pages long and took seven years to complete.

People used computers to do brute force checks to see if there was a counter example to the theorem but no computer created the proof.

 

The above notwithstanding, aliens are totally real, and will be arriving shortly to see how Game of Thrones ends.

 

My strawberries just blasted up my nose! ROFL

 

If the aliens are benign, they'll abduct Martin until he at least finishes The Winds of Winter. No matter how long-lived and naively hopeful they are, I'm sure they've given up A Dream of Spring as a lost cause.

 

For more examples of the "celestial shield" see https://www.cointalk.com/threads/1680-french-coin-w-u-f-o.4120/ and http://www.coinpeople.com/index.php/topic/19212-french-jetons-1600s/

 

This is one neat coin @lordmarcovan. What is the "space shuttle" described as in the attribution/identification?

 

Ends ? Winter is not coming.

 

A palm branch and wing intersect to create the 'space shuttle' illusion. We are pattern seeking mammals.

My favourite example of this type of pareidolia in regards to a coin was when CNG described the following Vespasian denarius as an 'unpublished variety'.


'Concordia (or Ceres?) seated left, holding grain ears, poppy, and a small genius with her extended right hand, and cradling a cornucopia with her left arm from which emerges a small genius; both genii are holding a wreath above Concordia’s head. RIC II 1394 var. (rev. legend and without genii holding wreath)'

Clearly they are not genii holding wreaths - actually it's just a high back throne! I believe 'clio' won it. I hope he knows what it really is.
