 Ancient Alien Theory Ancient Aliens is the idea that aliens visited Earth in the past. The idea of ancient aliens is not a new one either. Imagination is one of the most powerful tools in humanity's evolutionary struggle for survival. As a race, we are hardwired to consider important concepts, such as the creation of life on Earth and the history of people on this planet. At some point, we are all presented with various explanations and theories regarding the expansion of human life on Earth. In the long history of mankind, the majority of these concepts have followed religious teachings and the power of a spiritual god or gods. In modern times, many people have come to challenge these claims. The idea of evolution has been used to describe the gradual change of traits that living organisms undergo over time, which is related to the environment, but it doesn't explain how the biological cells of humans first ancestors respond. Because of the fact that everyone is interested in the creation of life on Earth, and concurrently, we have been taught to believe in the power of religion and the impossibility of alien life. The idea surrounding ancient aliens is a basic one. It states that the human population was influenced by a group of extraterrestrials that visited Earth in the past. The ancient aliens were directly involved in the evolution of primates, including humans. It has been suggested that this was accomplished by way of genetic engineering, crossbreeding, or a combination of both, ultimately helping in the development of human cultures, technologies, and religion. The idea first gained widespread exposure with the 1968 publication of Chariots of the Gods by Eric Von Daniken. But the concept has been around since the middle of the 19th century. A common variant of the idea includes proposals that deities from most, if not all, religions, including angels and demons, are actually extraterrestrials whose advanced technologies were taken by people as evidence of a divine status. This concept is related to the religious practice of a cargo cult, which can be seen in modern-day pre-industrial tribal societies, especially during World War II, when indignious people were contacted by soldiers with advanced equipment, such as guns and tanks. The cults subsequently attempted to obtain wealth through magic and religious rituals and practices. The ancient alien theory states that extraterrestrials purposely tricked the human population into believing they were gods, creating religion to help people evolve more efficiently. It has been proposed that with the current age of the universe and its vast number of stars, if the Earth was typical, extraterrestrial life should be common. In response to this paradox, the Zoo hypothesis has been suggested. It states that aliens generally avoid making their presence known to humanity or avoid exerting an influence on development somewhat akin to zookeepers observing animals in a zoo or experimental scientists observing a study of life. Adherents of the hypothesis feel that the Earth and humans are being secretly surveyed using equipment located on Earth or elsewhere in the solar system. Charles Fort's unpublished 1915 manuscript, Novel X, describes how Martian beings or Martian events control life on Earth. Fort ultimately burnt the manuscript, but one surviving quote from it is, the Earth is a farm? We are someone else's property.
