Advanced Civilizations

Undergod

A couple of people in the other thread mentioned stuff about this, so I guessed it does deserve a new thread.

I think there's a lot to these theories. A lot of the specific information I think is kinda silly, but the fact that humans have existed in the current state of evolution for several tens of thousand years, whereas our civilizations earliest roots is far less than that, plenty of time for a civilization to reach our level and disappear.

haven't read it all yet, the first poster provides a lot of links at the bottom.

Google 'Vimana' and there'll be plenty of information, and Charles Berlitz's 'THe Bermuda Triangle' has some information, but it's been a while since I read it.

Also: Baghdad Battery, Antikythera Mechanism.
These probably don't all contribute to one solid theory, but they are all indications that ancient technology might have more to it than we think.

This is about Vimanas, also has pages on Piri Reis map, Antikythera &c.

Dear Professor Hapgood,
Your request of evaluation of certain unusual features of the Piri Reis map of 1513 by this organization has been reviewed.
The claim that the lower part of the map portrays the Princess Martha Coast of Queen Maud Land, Antarctic, and the Palmer Peninsular, is reasonable. We find that this is the most logical and in all probability the correct interpretation of the map.
The geographical detail shown in the lower part of the map agrees very remarkably with the results of the seismic profile made across the top of the ice-cap by the Swedish-British Antarctic Expedition of 1949.
This indicates the coastline had been mapped before it was covered by the ice-cap.
The ice-cap in this region is now about a mile thick.
We have no idea how the data on this map can be reconciled with the supposed state of geographical knowledge in 1513.

well there is a lot of talk about atlantis and the mayan tribes to name but two. the thing is what defines advanced? technology of level of conciousness (aware ness)? being able to make anti grav machines, does this make you more advanced than a civilisation that feels they dont need them as they have reached a much higher level of awareness and one ness?

me personally i think we are no where near the most advanced that has ever graced this earth. other civilisations not only knew so much more about the stars than we did but were on a different existance entirely when it came to conciousness and awareness. we live in a very material world where the rat race is ever important what wouldn't we give to live in a utopian world where in our minds we are so aware. for me that is advanced...

That's a good point, but I did originally mean technologically advanced.

I find it hard to believe some of the Atlantis theories. Also I have read stuff on Mu/Lemuria, which was about spiritual advancement and was really... silly.

I see you mention the Antikythera mechanism.

A suggestion. Take a look a the peer reviewed research that is presently being done on that mechanism. You may get a shock at just how advanced the engineering was. It was equivalent to clock engineering at end of the 18th and start of the 19th centuries.

I also suggest you take a look at the research paper that was published in nature regarding this mechanism.

and
http://www.nature.com/nature/journal/v444/n7119/full/444534a.html

It is not some new fantasy or conspiracy theory. It is pure hard scientific fact and a lot more unbelieveable than anything people have claimed.

On a personal note, I think every student at school should be shown a model of this, to let them know what anti-science and what fundementalism can destroy.

how do you define that?

Having advanced technology, more sophisticated in terms of science and engineering. I think. It has been two years like, so I'm not entirely sure.
