"Science is organized knowledge, wisdom is organized life." Immanuel Kant

One does not preclude the other. Without knowledge there can be no wisdom, and without wisdom the utilization of knowledge is incomplete. Hazzard is correct, wisdom is indeed gained through experience and at great effort.

Universal pool of knowledge and wisdom???? Wisdom is the ability to make correct judgments and decisions. It is an intangible quality gained through experience.Do you have any?

For example, "freethinkers" and others believe that wisdom may come from pure reason, while others believe that it comes from intuition or spirituality.They are all wrong as far as I'm concerned.

One gaining "correct knowledge" can bring wisdom, which then would make this quite tangible. w00t.gif

As for your beliefs about "freeethinkers" and others, you can believe what you wish, and this will become your own reality! thumbsup.gif I can still recall someone I once read about saying that the World was round, and everyone else in the World belived that it was flat. Truth does not exist in what the masses believe, it exists in what you make to be your own reality. Be sure to choose wisely when you elect to follow someone elses beliefs and interpretations of reality! cool.gif

I’m not sure if this has been covered before, if so please either delete or merge it.

Here is a painting by Jacopo Del Sellaio (1441-1493). It has also been attributed to Ghirlandaio and to some other artists. The painting is in Florence, in the Museum of Palazzo Vecchio (the Town Hall). Info from: Museum of Palazzo Vecchio.

What do you think this depicts? And if it is an interpretation of a UFO, then they were painting and referring to them back in the 15th century.

Have you any other images of UFO’s in paintings?

The experts were educated by experts (no surprise there). No one was born with the knowledge, nor was the knowledge gained by merely sitting in class and memorizine by rote everything that the teacher said (I wish!). Becoming an expert involves doing your own research, studying the existing evidence on your own, and forming your own conclusion by following the evidence trail. Experts do not, despite what you seem to think, simply make up stuff and claim that it is true.
Yes. Wishful thinking that results in such myths as the 100 monkeys spontaneously learning a single action.



If someone claimed to come up with information based on nothing more than some ethereal psyhcic pool, bne assured no one would consider him an expert of any kind. How can you possibly tell the difference between obtaining knowledge from this mythical pool and simply making it up?
There is nothing quite as mystifying as someone who believes laughing at others is the same as putting forth a reasoned counter-argument.
Correct answers? Here's your correct answers: Marlo Morgan invented this entire story. In 1996 a delegation of Aboriginal elders went to the United States to protest the book. Morgan admitted that she had lied about the authenticity of her story and Harper Collins has now published it as "fiction." She still has the same pre-face though, about how this is a 'true' story of her going to live with these mythical people.

http://www.mq.edu.au/house_of_aboriginality/marloweb/

But hey, by all means, keep believing, instead of doing your own research.

The book has been classed as fiction, because she was not allowed to disclose the tribe and their wheareabouts, thus having to class it in this category. wacko.gif

Your outdated understanding of learning also makes me laugh! Thank's! We are just starting to dawn on this Earth of what has been known for milions of years by the creators.
A good example of this would be that scientists have discovered recently that we can transfer intelligence between one animal and another by injecting the brain chemicals from one to the other. Wow!

After having checked your link to discredit Marlow Morgan's book, I observed the following statement from her. I could not find the part where you refer to her saying that this is a made up story by her. If she has made this statement by her own pen or mouth, please show me where this can be found.

Marlo Morgan reaction to our protest in Kobe was to inform the audience once we left the podium that both myself and Paul Sampi had travelled to the United States during early 1996 to carry out an assassination attempt on her life. She stated that "the attempt had failed because she represented all that was good and we represented all that was bad, in the end goodness will prevail". she further stated that if you knew of the people in which I write about in "Mutant Message" you will see the starck difference between those people and the two men who have come here today.

I actually did this in college. In one of the biology classes, we trained a flatworm to follow a specific path, then cut it up and fed it to other flatworms. Three of them followed the identical path. It was kind of freaky. It made us wonder if there was any truth to the idea of cannibalism gifting the eater with the powers of the person eaten. devil.gif

Explanation From Katherine Griffis-Greenberg (University of Alabama at Birmingham (USA). Ms. Griffis-Greenberg is also a member of the American Research Center in Egypt and of the International Association of Egyptologists "Special Studies"): it's just a palimpsest (though without the use of that term, and which is defined as "A manuscript, typically of papyrus or parchment, that has been written on more than once, with the earlier writing incompletely erased and often legible" AHED). It was decided in antiquity to replace the five-fold royal titulary of Seti I with that of his son and successor, Ramesses II. In the photos, we clearly see "Who repulses the Nine Bows," which figures in some of the Two-Ladies names of Seti I, replaced by "Who protects Egypt and overthrows the foreign countries," a Two-Ladies name of Ramesses II. With some of the plaster that once covered Seti I's titulary now fallen away, certain of the superimposed signs do indeed look like a submarine, etc., but it's just a coincidence.

Seriously, IAAAM, at some point you should realize that the purpose is not to debunk each individual sample of ancient artwork as representative of extraterrestril. The claim is that prior to thinking of the ancient past as representing the world hundreds of years in the future, perhaps you should first consider what the artwork would represent to the people that actually made it.

Debate is fine, but if all you are doing is saying "LOL", "She never said it was fake!" (followed by "She was forced"), and "Well, explain this one!", all you are doing is wasting time.

This image was painted by a contemporary Russian artist to illustrate the cover of a 1967 issue of the "Sputnik" Russian magazine, in which there was an article devoted to the topic of visits of ancient astronauts 12.000 years ago, which had been inspired among other stuff by the prehistoric paintings in the caves of Fergana in Uzbekistan in which certain characteristics were considered as possibly some ancient close encounter of the third kind. These paintings seem to exist, but they are sometimes dated back to 2000 BC, sometimes 7000 BC, rather than 10.000 BC.

Sure, they exist. That isn't the issue. What is at question is whether they represent extraterrestrial visitation. If these pictures are of aliens, then we have to ask ourselves "Why did these ancient artists not paint humans?". All the humanoid figures look like the 'aliens'. Alternatively, these aren't pictures of aliens, but rather of humans.

Why so many? Who knows (I'll bet the artist did). A guess....to symbolize Saints and Christian martyrs, or to symbolize the significance of the crucifixion for all of humanity.

Then again, I suppose they could be 747 jumbo jets, a high probability for that guess I'll bet (sarcasm intended here).

A mysterious rock carving near Navai, Uzbekistan, Russia. It's estimated to be at least 3000 ears old. The men appear to be wearing respirators. Could the object with rays be a space rocket?

[attachmentid=22352]

Quote of Roger Bacon, Friar, 13th century: "Flying machines as these were of old, made even in our days."

Hermes or Mercury wore winged sandals and a winged hat. He could fly at great speed. Merely a legend? Often legends are based on real happenings passed down through the generations and the only record of what happened thousands of years before records were written down.

Daedalus constructed wings for his son Icarus, but in piloting his glider the boy flew too high and fell into the sea (now known as the Icarian Sea).
Daedalus was not a mythological figure, he was an aeronautical designer, one of the engineers of Knossos. They constructed water-chutes in parabolic curves to conform exactly to the natural flow of water - streamlined... Streamline could only be produced by long years of scientific development and is an essential part of aerodynamics, which Daedalus must have mastered.

The Chinese Annals relate that Emperor Shun (2258-2208 B.C.) constructed not only a flying apparatus but even made a parachute about the same time Daedalus built his gliders.

Emperor Cheng Tang (1766 B.C.) ordered Ki-Kung-Shi to design a flying chariot. The latter completed the assignment and tested the aircraft in flight, reaching the province of Honan. Subsequently the vessel was destroyed by imperial edict as Cheng Tang was afraid the secret of its mechanism might fall into enemy hands.
This implies that the Emperor and his sages must have had blueprints of this skyship.

The Chinese poet Chu Yuan (3rd Century B.C.) wrote of his flight in a jade chariot at a high altitude over the Gobi Desert towards the Kun Lun Mountains. He accurately described how the aircraft was unaffected by the winds and dust of the Gobi, and how he conducted an aerial survey.

In the early part of the fourth century Ko-Hung wrote about a helicopter in China: "Some have made flying cars with wood from the inner part of the jujube tree, using ox leather straps fastened to rotating blades to set the machine in motion."

The Sanscrit term 'vimana vidya' means 'the science of building and piloting airships'. Why would they use or need such a term?

The Indian classic 'Mahabharata', one of the oldest books in the world, speak of 'an aerial chariot with the sides of iron and clad with wings'. An aeroplane?

The Ramayana describes the 'vimana' as a double deck circular aircraft with portholes and a dome. It flew with the 'speed of the wind' and gave forth a 'melodious sound'. Now that sounds more advanced than the jets we see now - what were they?
A pilot had to be well trained otherwise no vimana was placed in his hands. The vimana could stop and remain motionless in the sky. The ancient classic gives an account of how the vimana soared above the clouds - from that altitude 'the ocean looked like a small pool of water'. The aviator was able to see the ocean coast and deltas of rivers.
The vimanas were kept in 'vimana griha' or hangars. They were propelled by a yellowish-white liquid and employed for warfare, travel or sport. One is amazed at the wealth of detail in this ancient tale and wonders what stimulated it - fantasy of the authors or actual memories and/or happenings?

In ancient India six young men constructed a dirigible airship - the Pantachantra contains the full story of the experiment. The machine was operated by a complex control system, providing a safe, fast flight and perfect manoeuvrability.

There are two categories of ancient Sanscrit texts - the factual records known as the Manusa and the mythical and religious literature known as the Daiva. The Samara Sutradhara, which belongs to the factual type of records, treats air travel from every angle. The book contains 230 stanzas about the construction of flying machines. It deals not only with take-off, cruising for thousands of kilometers, normal and forced landings, but even with possible collisions of aircraft with birds!
The same source mentions the 'Samhara', a missile that crippled and the 'Moha', a weapon that produced a state of complete paralysis.

The pyramid texts contain a curious interpretation of the purpose of the pyramids: as a ramp to the sky so that man may go up to the sky.
There are 5000-year old images of Isis which portray the goddess with folded wings.

Folklore from all over the world has strange tales about flying machines. In 1958 the Smithsonian Institute published the results of American, Soviet and Indian archaeological research which indicated that 10000 years ago the Eskimos lived in Central Asia. How did they reach Greenland? Possibly on foot or sleighs - but the Eskimo legend says that they were brought to the arctic north by 'giant iron birds'.

Near Madison, Wisconsin, one can see on the ground from a great distance colossal gravel carvings of birds, that measure 62 metres from one wing tip to another. Planes?

A photographic survey by the Peruvian Air Force of the arid tablelands of Nasca showed a network of lines and geometrical figures on the ground as far as the eye can see. The lines were made by human hands by removing darker stones from the soil and exposing the lighter inner layer - an undertaking that must have taken years to complete. There are contours of animals and birds besides triangles and trapezoids. Most of the lines run in such a way that there is no connection between them and the more recent Inca roads. The area covered by these markings is vast, it covers hundreds of square kilometers.
The age of the Nasca patterns was estimated to be at least 1500 years. The Indians say the giant pictures on the ground were made by another race before the advent of the Incas.
The designs and lines can be seen from the air only at an altitude of over 350 metres - for who were these markings intended?

In Salvador an antique vase was found which show human figures in a dirigible in flight. Any connection with that and the Nasca lines?

It is said that this cave mural in Fergana, Uzbekistan was painted at least 2,000 years ago. Nobody could understand this picture until human could travel in space because such clothes didn't exist. A clergy interpreted that this painting was inspired by spirit. But now, as we can travel in space, anyone can understand what the painting indicates. For those who don't know science see it as mysterious. Today nobody thinks this painting was inspired by spirit.

I can understand the fact that things that look like UFO's in ancient Christian art can (in a way) be explained away as religious artefacts, such as floating cardinal hats? And the such. But what of the ancient paintings found in cave temples of Dun Huang and Turpan. (Dun Huang being in Buddhism temples in Beijing. And Turpan in the border mountains between China and Russia, Tibet, Thailand and India).

Paintings inside the above mentioned temples, dating back almost a thousand years!

This claimed by many to be a a cave painting found near Fergana in Uezbekistan, thought to be thousands of years old. Part of it is depicted in my copy of Erich Von Daniken's "Chariots of the Gods." (Souvenir Press 1973 Hardback)

Explanation: A french researcher -Lemaire emailed me the following information. Basically it was a sketch done by a russian artist for a magazine "Spoutnik" in 1967 for an article concerning astronauts visiting mankind 12,000 yrs ago. Spoutnik was a magazine from the former USSR (in Reader's Digest format). It was published in several languages including russian, german, english, french and italian. Below is the original sketch, the artist's signature and the cover of the magazine.


The 'cave painting' was done by a Russian artist in 1967 for a magazine cover (a photo of the magazine cover is can been seen below the text). There are several other hoaxes explained, including that platter-like object posted earlier.

I'd suggest taking a good look at all the hoaxes included there. BTW, the owner of this site is a bit more accepting of the UFOs in artwork hypothesis than I am. This is scarcily a 'skeptical' site, but Mr. Hurley does include known hoaxes, for that I give him quite a bit of credit...although I don't agree with all of his conclusions on this subject.

I can understand the fact that things that look like UFO's in ancient Christian art can (in a way) be explained away as religious artefacts, such as floating cardinal hats? And the such. But what of the ancient paintings found in cave temples of Dun Huang and Turpan. (Dun Huang being in Buddhism temples in Beijing. And Turpan in the border mountains between China and Russia, Tibet, Thailand and India).


Same idea. Even if we dont know the exact symbol it is doesnt mean that its a depiction of an alien craft.

Very true. Its just that they appear in lots of religious symbols and paintings.

Which could indicate that it was a common symbol.
