The Ancient Alien Question: A New Inquiry Into the Existence, Evidence, and Influence of Ancient Visitors, By Phillip Coppens
Kindle Edition (320 Pages)
Phillip Coppens has offered an in-depth analysis of the theory that Earth was visited in ancient past by extraterrestrials in the ancient past, and influnced the course of human civilization. It is focused on providing information and where possible factual evidence that can help resolve some of the profound questions raised by the Ancient Alien Theory.
In his 1968 book, Chariots of the Gods, Swiss author Erich von Däniken proposed that all of the evidence pointed to one profound but logical possibility: extraterrestrials visited Earth in the distant past and changed the course of human history. This concept, later referred to as "Ancient Astronaut Theory or alternatively "Ancient Alien Theory" is embraced today by millions of people around the world. But despite media and public interest, the phrase ancient aliens remains taboo within the scientific and religious disciplines. Whether or not we were alone in the human adventure that was early civilization is a question that these disciplines will not answered, or even addressed. The author suggests various reasons for why this is so, the most logical of which is that substantiation of an extraterrestrials presence in humanity's ancient past would shatter the ideology and doctrinal tenants of science and religion.
What is the evidence? Across the Earth, ancient ruins and megalithic structures such as Sacsayhuamán in Peru, the Temple of Jupiter in Lebanon, or Gobekli Tepe in Turkey are proven to be far older than what our modern history books are willing to admit. In fact, the incredible megalithic site of Gobekli Tepe, located in the Southeastern Anatolia Region of Turkey, is radiocarbon dated at over 11,000 years old. Meanwhile, further to the west in Baalbek, Lebanon, the ancient city of Heliopolis and the Temple of Jupiter contain enormous stone blocks that are in excess of 1,000 tons each. Yet at the same time, most mainstream experts will tell you that these megalithic sites were built less than 5,000 years ago by the Romans, or some nomadic hunter-gatherer group, using nothing more than bronze-age tools. There are passages in the Bible that mention the presence of alien life and extraterrestrial intervention; the alien creation of man; prophetic visions that are clearly the technology of UFOs; and much more. This evidence greatly contradicts what society is taught about the timeline of human history and helps to paint a far different picture of our past. The most important question is, why isn’t this important information part of our education system? From the secret tunnels found beneath the pyramids of Giza and the water erosion marks on the Sphinx Enclosure, to the knowledge of mathematics and astronomy developed by the early Sumerian Civilization of Mesopotamia, around the world, we find compelling evidence that suggests that human civilizations are far older and more sophisticated than what we’ve been told. This brings up serious questions as to why this important evidence still remains unknown to most of society. To answer that difficult question, we must objectively review this evidence, and the secrets of ancient history. There is a great deal more evidence provided by Mr. Coppens, but you must read the book to discover what he has to say! However, in the final analysis it seems clear that Coppens believes, just as I do, that we are not alone.This book delivers an interesting, straightforward narrative that is easy to read and readily comprehensible. It is well researched and carefully documented to ensure accuracy of the evidence provided. The evidence is very substantive and quite extraordinary. I enjoyed this book very much and believe that readers who approach it with an open mind will also appreciate this book.

From the Publisher
Kathleen McGowan from the Preface
Early on in our relationship he began calling me “Scully” after the skeptical redheaded character in the X-Files. I had encountered any number of believers in my time, and although I tried to keep an open mind, it was always just a step too far into the outer limits for me. But I discovered quickly that my cynicism about the Ancient Alien theory was powerless against the force that was Philip Coppens.
I want to be clear that he never tried to convert me to his beliefs; that was not his way. Philip was passionate but he was not a fanatic. He was measured and careful, laying out his arguments in the most balanced, sane manner. He appeared to have access to unlimited data in his brain and the ability to create persuasive arguments on the spot. I have never known a mind like that, before or since.
Philip Coppens demonstrates there is substantial proof that our ancestors were far more technologically advanced than is accepted, and certain cultures interacted with nonhuman intelligences.

THE GREAT PYRAMIDSo is there no mystery to the Great Pyramid? Actually, there is. The evidence suggests that though Khufu was responsible for its construction, he had at his disposal technology and information that official archaeology does not credit the Ancient Egyptians with. It is technology that was millennia ahead of its time, helping to build the pyramid with an accuracy that defies modern standards. The Great Pyramid has been measured in extraordinary detail, which has revealed how purposefully very thing to do with this pyramid was executed. |
ORION NEBULAThe most obvious comparison, however, is that the layouts of the three pyramids at Giza and the three main structures of Teotihuacán represent the Belt of Orion. The Pyramid of the Moon compares with the smallest pyramid on the plateau; the Pyramid of the Sun compares with Khafre’s pyramid; and the Temple of Quetzalcoatl, which has the largest ground plan but was never built into a full pyramid, compares with that of the Great Pyramid. Though there are individual differences, I would suggest that the same ingredients were used at both sites, answering to the same general ground plan: to represent the Belt of Orion, which in ancient Egypt was linked with their mythology and in the Mayan culture was part of the creation mythology. |
BAALBEKIt is the megalithic ruins between the temple that have attracted speculation as to how our ancestors could have created Baalbek. Most interesting is the stone platform on which the Romans built the Temple of Jupiter. Its walls consist of about 24 monoliths at their lowest level, each weighing 300 tons. There is a trilithon (a grouping of three blocks, two vertical with a horizontal block atop them) in the southwest wall of the platform, known as the “Marvel of the Three Stones,” each more than 62 feet high and weighing an estimated 800 tons! A fourth stone nearby is 80 feet in length and weighs 1,100 tons! |
