Anything that does not agree with your world-view is willful ignorance in your view- we get it.

Seems to me there are a few on this thread that aren't quite as close-minded as you but have posted long enough to show they (including me) are far from gullible

Religion did happen in the past... It is a part of history. There are plenty of history books that show the chain of events from one point to modern times. History doesn't stop moving, by the time you have read this, it will be a part of history.

I don't see how finding a Sumerian religious/history book in the history section is such a big deal?

What do you think about the concept of ancient astronauts(aliens) visiting earth and shaping the world as we know today? For more info on this subject look up Ancient aliens or ancient astronauts.

The folks in the history forum would (and have) get all uppity about this subject, because it most definitely ISN'T history.

Anyway, that show is about the stupidest, more poorly done and fact twisting piece of docutainment I've had the displeasure of sitting through. It's SO stupid!!!!!!

But if we did encounter indisputable proof on the subject, science would eventually accept it, and the new information would be used to help us understand the world and our place in it, just like any other discovery.

My mind is wide open to facts, but the source has to be credible. A for profit TV production company or anonymous people on the internet ain't credible.

It's total bull. Trolls and wizards however are real. Prove to me there not!!!!

Let me add (in my defense) that the show is laughable in WHAT it presents as plausible. What (I believe) they are toying around with (and doing a horrible job with) is a POSSIBLE premise of something that might have happend in some distant past. I also realize that we on the cusp of 2012 and the whole Mayan "prophecy" is making big news and that news will get bigger. It stands to reason that shows such as these will milk the story for all its worth so this must be considered.

Oh, also, the term "ancient astronaut" seems like misnomer and it gives this idea that beings from other places were flying around in 27th century space ships, zipping in and out of the earth. The idea that the 27th century CE could have been happening in the 21st century BCE upsets our natural inclination to believe we are the pinnacle (so far) of all that came before us and nothing before us could have ever been better than us or more advanced than us.
