Extraterrestial?

[Robust]

Man does not frivously engrave in stone. Archeological digs dating some 5,000 BC indicate a highly advanced people recording for posterity such information as might be seen relevant to extraterrestial navigation. Might it be possible that they did so foreseeing some cataclysmic event with the potential to wipe-out all existing lifeform on the planet?

Might we already exist as some one or another extraterrestial population?

Uh, you got any references on that? There was lots of engraving of stones going on in 5000 BCE, what makes any of it extraterrestrial navigation?

What planet do you come from? Doodling and graffiti are as old as protoman holding a stick and finding some mud, or smearing soot on a cave wall, or destroying the Environment with petroglyphs.

The remainder of your post is absurd.

I don't think any ET has even been to this star system.

All the easiest to get resources - asteroidal metals and materials, and water and other needed volatiles from dormant comets and the outer rings of Saturn are there.

They're still there.

And landing on a high-grav rock like earth would just be a waste of energy.

Maybe it was all done by women.

Why isn't this in the 'Strange Claims Forum'?

I swear, most women women are more chauvinistic than I am.

Oh well... Just because most *people* are chauvinistic doesn't mean I have to be.

Read the post again. It doesn't relate to our coming to earth, but rather as to our species alteady exising on a different planet, having the foreknowledge of some impending cataclysmic event on earth and the intelligence and means to relocate. Do you truly believe we are the most advanced people to have ever inhabited this planet? The archeological records show otherwise.
