I heard it explained this way. If a thousand monkeys live on an island in the Pacific and a submarine drove by and the monkeys started throwing their feces at the sub in order to get it's attention it would be like us sending radio waves into space. Not any way they would ever stop to even recognize we exist!

Also, if there were aliens capable of traveling so far, so fast they would NOT be interested in Earth with beings trying to get to Mars using rockets. (Rockets would be like roller skates to them.) There probably animals on their own planet smarter than us. (If there are aliens).

UFO's are unidentified NOT Aliens per se.

To this day, there is no physical proof of anything alien on earth.

Pyramids were built by humans (based on a mountain). The stones were cut and the location still has stones in different states of being cut. Yes, it was difficult but the engineers of the day knew how to use rollers, leverage, pulleys, etc. And they had 50-60 years per pharaoh per pyramid to build. But they are mysterious.

Most UFO's have been determined to actually be reflections from glare, clouds, camera lenses, etc.

Jesus was real, he lived. There is universal proof of his existence. He said what he said. Our centuries are based on his life. I kinda tend to focus on HIS example set on my planet.

The movie "Contact" written by Carl Sagan was very good but in the end all that was suggested was alien life is just like us and wants us all to marvel at the Cosmos, live, enjoy your family, etc.

Wasn't Jesus an Alien? Universal proof being L. Ron Hubbard's 'Dianetics' ?

Nothing says an alien race would be friendly. Advanced technology doesn't necessarily go hand in hand with superior morals or values. We might be a source of slaves or food.

Actually, the historical evidence shows that they were trained artisans, builders and craftsmen, and that they were well paid for their efforts

Any civilization capable of developing the unimaginably advanced technology to traverse the extreme distances between solar systems will not need slaves and probably has the food situation under control.

No problem there. Most advanced alien races have endless supplies of soylent green for their food supply.

I did, but he called tech support in India or somewhere. He was on hold for hours. Afraid to see my next phone bill.

I keep thinking what Captain Kirk said to Scotty: ”Beam me up Scotty. There's no intelligent life down here."
Was he talking about TV?

I'm open-minded on the subject in general, but have sometimes wondered why such advanced beings would visit Earth only to give us cranes or leave Nazca lines.

Perhaps they have rules limiting their interactions with pre-warp civilizations.

I would think yes. They have a prime objective rule too!

I suggest you research something prior to posting. It's been well documented for years that the pyramid workers were paid. Here's a 2019 NOVA episode.

I concur that it wasn't built with just slaves...and that doesn't have to be in conflict with the story of Moses leading his people out of Egypt
