Is the 'paranormal' a glowing guy with a golden parashute ? Can assure you the latter can be scientifically explained ...as well as his "glowing" .

Seriously old are the ages of man and just think of all that time the Egyptians had to meditate by the great river and eventually build those pyramids ... but there also those that came before . If there is that "higher" intelligence one would seek in the ruins of the pyramids , in the posturing Pharoahs gilded like lilys & their Queens obsessed with image & power that sprang from the thrall of centuries of make believe . The tyrrany who's power came from indentification with the power of the Sun & River and built from a thrall of blood , sweat and tears of millions of slaves . The illusion maintained by large accompanying throngs of warriors , statesman , craftsman , bureaurcrats & priest castes that were extended specialized positions that rose simply out from more primitive tribal structure of chief , warrior/hunter & Juju men . Is there some difference between that picture of the great male Ape & the young hairless female hominid in a an entertaining pose ...not much really . Of course the Pyramids & that civilization represent a far greater command of skill sets & technologies over the earlier stone age hominid , aborigine , cave painter of Lascaux but wouldn't get wrapped up too emotionally with belief of some extraterrestial (angelic) origins for this . Introducing some pansperma mysticism of visitations when one looks at those structures isnt neccessary which tell only a story that fits the pattern perfectly , disseminates simply from a natural progression of human cultural evolution down thru the stone, bronze , iron ages . You see the Godess Isis with wings to spread over all and this too fits perfectly in with the symbolism of the life giving river that puslates thru the seasons and allows for a large grouping of hominids to live , grow & develope this culture along miles of its banks for a few 1000's of years . When one looks at the Pyramids and sees them for all they really are , tho a vast story they tell of the filght of human imagination one composed also of man's ignorance , vanity , hubris & inhumanity to man . The skill sets to build them were obtained in reality incrementially over some 30,000 yrs essentially out of the discovery of copper & bronze smelting that originated in other places by other hominids even earlier on , perhaps over in Eur-asia. Nice fantasy to think this knowledge & skillset comes from some extraterrestial origin though in fact am sure there are probably a billion other civilizations on countless other planets that will be discovering that same magic of metalurgy , then shaping & piling stones themselves in similar fashion and pointing to their own localized sun-moon gods alligned with seasonal metaphors and thinking the answers must be in the stars .
