When I was a kid we used to hike/canoe/camp all over the Glades and Big Cypress. Used swim in the canals and lakes, and scavenge the mangrove shores of the Bay in knee deep water and bushwhack back to the road.

Back then there were no crocodiles, Mega pythons, Monitor and Tegu lizards, lionfish and the gators were only a few years out of being and endangered species and were scared of humans.

You couldn’t pay me to do those same things again today.

As I view it the scarab does not appear to be carved from steatite, as is stated. Steatite is a very hard rock, usually black in color, that was used in the creation of monumental sculptures of the the Early and Middle Kingdom.

No way. Watch Ancient Aliens on the History Channel. Or YouTube.
There is no way they built these structures with chisels and logs. No way.
This is at least the second time around with advanced technology.
There can be no other explanation.
Anyone can believe that the pyramids were built with chisels, logs and humans, but I have a bridge in Brooklyn to sell you really cheaply if you should believe so. :)

Space aliens may have landed on Earth, but the idea that they needed us for slave labor when they have technology capable of interstellar travel is, uh, complete and utter BS.

Because in some ancient cultures, the role of men in making women pregnant wasn't recognized. Feel all better now?

All these "fertility goddess" doodads are really just evidence that even in ancient times, it was difficult to find an easy girlfriend.

I always say: Use condoms smeared with spermicide jelly EVERY time. Then TAKE it WITH YOU!

Eff women’s choice. Use men’s choice. Or just go gay.

I was stationed at Homestead in the 80s. The place was nuts with invasives then, but nothing like today.

The reason it worked is that it contained a spermicide.

I think the so called fertility idols are just 3 d porn but what do I know.

I mean they didn’t have the internet or porn mags. This is what they had.

Wasn’t known about? Or they knew it but wouldn’t recognize it?

Seems weird. I can’t believe that any culture wouldn’t know the role of the man. There must be more to it than that.

I would LOVE to have watched a Three Hour Debate than the two separate shows.

SOME parts of the debunking show did seem to stretch the truth to its limits.

But why come to Earth?

And they certainly wouldn’t have been sitting cramped in rockets like most of the drawings depicted.

They wouldn’t be using rocket fuel to travel, like another picture is assumed to be showing.

But the 800 TON boulders!!

How do you move 1,600,000 pounds??!!

Who would that be done today??

Yeah lol

But then maybe some things will ALWAYS require manual strength and labor.

But they would have things way past robotics and equipment we couldn’t imagine.

I dunno :)
