Incredible coincidence in ancient engineering design separated by thousands of km in different continents.

| It's an alternative explanation that makes no sense at all. I don't believe in magic. It's not magic. Something shaped like a pancake comes spinning on it's axis from outside the solar system. It showed no sign of being a comet or a meteor. It accelerates at speeds that seem to indicate an artifici... |

| Almost all tribes have stories of giants. the bible referred to them as Nephilim while the ancient Greeks called them Gigantes. Scientists working for the Smithsonian did publish articles about excavating giant skeletons unearthed in the US in the 1800s. When attempts were made to recover these skel... |

It's not speculation. It's an alternative explanation that remains scientifically plausible as no conventional explanation currently makes sense. |

| Seriously, it shouldn't be any surprise that there are fungi and bacteria on a space station occupied by people. No surprise at all. If there weren't any fungi and bacteria, that would be surprising. That they are there should not be at all surprising. It's one of the risks in sending probes crawli... |

| We pretty consistently seem to underestimate peoples who had what we consider stone age technology. Outsiders insisting they couldn't possibly have done things that are best explained by them doing them is demeaning. I don't disagree but aforementioned outsiders also hope we don't don't ask questio... |

| According to hinduism we are in Kali Yurga and have another 426,874 years before the end of this era and a great cataclysm that will usher in the next era. So I guess there's no panic huh! |

Probably used water I suspect to clean off the dirt on the buried part of the Moai. the websites don't actually say how the cleaning was done but it probably involved brushing and neutral pH water to avoid damaging the stone. |

| It also sounds racist AF to out-of-hand dismiss the idea that the people who lived there couldn't possibly be capable of coming up with a method. Wait what? racist?? I'm more than happy to give credit to the now extinct easter Islanders except it's disingenuous of teams of so called experts to move... |

| Four things the head of astronomy at Harvard Prof Avi Loeb says makes it highly unusual 1. its unusual trajectory coming from outside of the solar system 2. flattened shape like a pancake or pointy sails, which didn't align with typical asteroids or comets. 3. its incredible high speed and peculiar ... |

| I don't buy into the "panspermia" conjecture at all. Even more, we don't need it. It is enormously more likely that the organic molecules that are the building blocks of life formed naturally in Earth's atmosphere that that some "spores" from outer space made it here and started... |

| Remember the "oumamua" interstellar visitor? It is going very fast -- something like 50 to 60 miles per second. At that rate, it would take many thousands of years to arrive from another planet with life and for that to happen, the "spores" would have to be accelerated to very h... |
