who watches Ancient Alien series on History channel

[river]

I find it a fascinating series

you ?

 

[Believe]

I do, and its hilarious. I like they start out with something that has a grain of truth to, something that you could kind of see being that (not necessarily better then the non-alien explanation for it mind you) and then they just go off on crazy shit that makes absolutely no sense.

Giorgio A. Tsoukalos is my favorite with his crazy hair and ompa loompa skin lol.

what " crazy shit " are you refering too ?

 

[river]

the thing is , is that this series brings up some very intriguing questions

such as the stone blocks of Baalbek ( the town of East Lebanon North of Damascus on the site of the ancient city of Heliopolis )

which are 1200tons and are raised approx. 30ft into the air

so how did they get there ?

 

[river]

another example

how about cave paintings and historical paintings

its not possible to ignor the character of these depictions , of different beings and flying objects

I assume he is refering to the entire show. It is just science fiction.

Multiple Roman Cranes perhaps.

How did that even make it on to TV? I have only seen some clips of it but they were a riot. The clips looked like an Onion segment.

made of what material ? at that time could handle that kind of weight ?

 

[river]

we are talking of a weight of;

2,400,000 , that is 2.4 million lbs , think about it for a moment...

2.4 million lbs !!!

there's nothing unusual about this , back in their time ? there is

and on top of that , these blocks were lifted 30ft in the air and then placed

surely this gets anybody with any sence of curiousity , thinking

 

[river]

could angles described in the bible be extraterrestrials ?

these angles came from the sky ....

 

[river]

in hebrew , angle means , messenger

in Greek , angle means , middle man

 

[river]

angles are intermediary between god and Humans

I think you mean angels

According to wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baalbek the stones which were raised were up to over 100 tons.

The original number of Jupiter columns was 54 columns. The architrave and frieze blocks weigh up to 60 tons each, and one corner block over 100 tons, all of them raised to a height of ca. 19 m (62.34 ft) above the ground.[6] This was thought to have been done using Roman cranes. Roman cranes were not capable of lifting stones this heavy; however, by combining multiple cranes they may have been able to lift them to this height. If necessary they may have used the cranes to lever one side up a little at a time and use shims to hold it while they did the other side.

The 1,200 ton stone still lies in the quarry unused.

A fourth, still larger stone called Stone of the Pregnant Woman lies unused in a nearby quarry about 1 mile from the town (see image below).[8] – its weight, often exaggerated, is estimated at 1,000.12 t.[9] An even larger stone, weighing approximately 1,242 t,[10] lies in the same quarry across the road.
