Top 5 Archaeological Mysteries That May Be Evidence of Ancient Aliens

There's a lot that archaeologists don't know about the past. Instead of just brushing off everything they don't understand with the designation of "ritual purposes" anmd leaving it at that without further investigation, what if they looked at the evidence right before their eyes?

There is a lot of evidence people don't want to acknowledge doesn't add up. Could a more un-earthly explanation shed some light on what the ancient people were actually doing? Have aliens actually come to Earth - and the archaeologists don't want to admit it?

Here are 5 ARCHAEOLOGICAL MYSTERIES that I think are pretty strong evidence of alien involvement in Earth's past!

1. The Colosseum

This structure is almost 2,000 years old, still the largest amphitheater ever built, and yet it has held up to the elements incredibly well! Archaeologists credit this to "Roman concrete" - a self-healing building material we STILL don't know how to replicate. If we can't make it with our advanced technology, why do we just accept that the ancient Romans knew something we don't? This kind of high-tech self-healing building material speaks to a higher level civilization giving this information to the Romans - like, perhaps, extraterrestrials

2. The Parthenon

The perfection of the golden ratio built into the Parthenon indicates a high level understanding of math, and the orientation of it is suspiciously perfect for a society that had no GPS or satellites. Do you think they had some pointers from a society that could see down from above?

3. Hadrian's Wall

The ancient Roman Britons were stretched thin, losing battles to the Celts, far from their imperial core… and yet they STILL apparently had the ability to build a wall ALL THE WAY across the entire island! Could they really do such a feat by themselves? A wall of such length would take a LOT of time to plan and build, far more than an ancient group could spare. This story of how Hadrian's Wall came to be is suspicious and full of holes. More likely, extraterrestrials built the wall there for their own ends - and the Romans saw the wall as the work of gods, and stopped there for fear of transgressing

4. Notre Dame

Notre Dame Cathedral was supposedly built in the Dark Ages… but could a bunch of medieval peasants who couldn't even wash themselves really build something so majestic on their own? Europe needed a little push from somewhere else to get out of the Dark Ages, and Notre Dame, with its dazzling array of colors evoking an otherworldly sense of color perception, suggests that Medieval Europe might have had a little extraterrestrial help.

5. Figurine of Priapus

Have you ever seen a real person who looked like this? The strange proportions… the appendages that seem to defy biology and gravity… there are a lot of these depictions throughout the classical Greek and Roman world. What were the Greeks actually looking at when they made these? Could this be what the aliens look like? If so, I can see why there are so many alien-fuckers out there!

The evidence for alien contact is undeniable. When will the archaeologists return my emails

[whyismycatonfire]

I love personalization. I love stickers on water bottles and on laptops. I love shitty marker drawing on the toes of converse. I love hand embroidered doodles on jeans. I love posters on walls. I love knick knacks on shelves. I love jewelry with goofy charms. I love when people take things and make them theirs.

Vegetable Symbolism OC Questions!

A little list of OC questions based on the symbolism of Vegetables in the interpretation of dreams. This is not intended to be an exhaustive list of all cultural or symbolic meanings, but rather just a small selection for entertainment, rather than educational, purposes. It may, however, encourage you to make a salad.

Carrot: Growth, Fertility, and New Beginnings.

Does your OC believe that someone needs to hit rock bottom - or at least suffer the full consequences of their poor choices - before they can be helped to make positive changes? Or would they spare no effort in trying to help a friend or family member they percieved as trapped in a cycle of negative behaviour?

Does your OC wish to have children of their own? Would they ever consider adoption? Or is it important to them that they have a birth child to carry on their lineage? If they do not want children then how do they respond to being asked about it?

At what age did your OC stop growing? Did they go through puberty notably earlier or later than their peers? Would they have quite liked to have grown a little more?

Are there any festivals or cultural traditions related to fertility in which your OC participates? If they have chosen not to continue these traditions then what was the reason? How do they feel about any fertility rites or practices they have encountered in other cultures?

Has your OC ever been involved in farming or agriculture? Or have they tilled the earth in a more modest setting? What is their view of food production in society? Is it something they understand and value? Or do they make little connection between the food they eat and the labour required to produce it?

Tomato: Nourishment, Vitality, and Love.

Does your OC seek out calorie-dense or highly nutritious foods to enhance their physical performance and survivability? Or is the taste or presentation of food as important (or more important) than its health-giving properties?

Does your OC find it easy to believe that they are loved? Or are they suspicious of ulterior motives? Perhaps they fear that once someone truly gets to know them then they will be repulsed or horrified? Or maybe they find it hard to imagine how anyone could not love them...

Is your OC generally seen by others as being healthy and fit? Or are they often sick or beset by mysterious aches and pains? Do they rather enjoy the attention that comes with being unwell? Or is it important to them that they are seen as strong and healthy?

Does your OC take care of their appearance? Do they apply beauty treatments or take potions or supplements to enhance their looks? Do they do this to appear alluring to others? Or purely for their own satisfaction? Are they entirely honest with themselves about this?

Does your OC enjoy preparing and cooking food for others? Is feeding other people a way they show love and nurture others? Or is making food something they avoid? Perhaps they tend to ensure they get the lion's share of any food they make, and grudgingly leave only the gristle and scraps for others?

Cucumber: Healing, Rejuvenation, and Self-Care.

Does your OC have any gift for healing? Was this always something they felt drawn towards? Or something that they adopted later in life? If they have no abilities in healing or medicine then is this something they regret? Or do they see healing as the province of weaklings and those who lack the gumption for combat?

Does your OC give much thought to looking after their own health? Are they careless with their own well-being? Do those around them encourage them to take better care of themselves? Or are they actually in need of others to push them into taking a few more risks - be they physical or emotional?

What makes your OC feel rejuvenated after a particulary difficult or exhausting time? A hot bath? A cold drink? A bout of particularly vigorous lovemaking? Or just a nice long sleep?

Does your OC take enough rest generally? Or do they push themselves hard despite being in need of time to recuperate? Do others notice this? Does anyone pass comment?

Does your OC feel energised by spending time with others? Do they struggle when alone for extended periods? Or do they find themselves depleted by too much social interaction and often find themselves in need of some time by themselves?

Onion: Hidden Truths, Repressed Emotions, and Deep Secrets.

What has been the greatest revelation that your OC has experienced? To what degree did this new knowledge upend their previous understanding of the world and their place within it?

Has your OC any secrets which they keep from others? Are these kept only from those outside their inner circle? Or are there some secrets to which none but they are privy?

Does your OC have some feelings that they push down deep within themselves? Perhaps feelings of resentment? Or pangs of grief? Or burning sexual desires? Or do their emotions constantly come bubbling to the surface regardless of any efforts they might make to suppress them?

Is your OC talented at extracting secrets from others? Do they do so through charm and persuasion? Or through intimidation and force? Do what end do they seek this hidden knowledge? Purely for personal gain? To better understand the world? Or out of sheer nosiness?

What is something that your OC generally keeps from others - even those to whom they are close? Is this due to shame? Embarrassment? Fear of rejection? Or something nastier and darker by far?

Lettuce: Emotional Balance and Inner Peace.

Is your OC generally even-tempered? Or are they quick to anger or easily brought to tears? Do others feel they need to "walk on eggshells" around them for fear they might fly into a great rage or collapse into a blubbering heap? If so, then are they themselves aware of this?

Does your OC evince a great calm and focus during times of crisis or disaster? Can they keep their head amidst the clamour and chaos of an emergency situation? Or are they easily thrown into a panicked state?

Has your OC ever got into a fit of laughter from which they struggled to recover? What was it that they found so funny? Is it a memory on which they look back fondly?

Does your OC ever deliberately wind themselves up by focussing on bad memories or bitter resentments? Do they do so in order to harness their anger that they might overcome a challenge? Or perhaps to aid them in combat? Or would such things only serve as a distraction from their work?

Does your OC practice any meditation techniques or cultural rituals designed to centre them and bring them calm? If so then where did they learn these approaches? If they do not practice such things then would they benefit from doing so?

"Is [character] intended to be [identity]?" can be a difficult question to give a simple yes/no answer to not because writers are hedging their bets, but because very often the actual answer is "[character] is modelled after several people I know in real life, some of whom might well be [identity], but frankly if they are it's none of my damn business".
