Have aliens visited Earth in the past?

There's a book that was published a long time ago called Chariots of the Gods. It supports this theory. Personally I found many of his points to be a little far fetched and his writing was too aggressive for a topic with little to no real supporting evidence. However, I'm intrigued by the idea.

One must admit that it is at least within the realm of possibility.

Stonehenge, Nazca lines, Shamwow, there's a lot of things people think humans couldn't have made without alien help. It's just a theroy but I see no reason that aliens can't exist.

Stonehenge has been pretty much explained. (check YouTube for a couple good documentaries on the subject) but Shamwows must have been aliens. That's the solid proof.

Sad thing is, I think I've watched a documentary on Stonehenge, my mind just blanked when i wrote that. But yes, Shamwow is alien technology.

Shamwow is just a Martian copy of the ancient Xel'Naga technology that created Zorbies.

Nazca has some pretty inexplicable stuff. Also there are a lot of cave drawings that make me wonder what exactly inspired them.

While the entire notion is extremely improbable, I think we should assume there likely exists extraterrestrial intelligent life that vastly predates man, possibly with the capability to travel the distances between our star systems.

the lines are just areas of debris (rocks, plants...etc) moved out of the way. Think about it. get a few hundred early men, tell them that if they don't do this one thing one of their gods will be upset, long story short they will toil until those lines are made. The shapes are all simple and could be made from ground level pretty easily.

As I've said before, I would bet my life that extraterrestrial life existed for substantial amount of money.

There are giant symbols on the ground - monkeys, lizards, etc., that are so big their shape can only be seen from the air also. And the lines are remarkably straight.

Anyway, one of the main ideas in this book is that Aliens interacted with ancient people and the ancients saw them as Gods, which is he believes are the origins of these megalithic structures, cave drawings of Gods, Nazca, and the like.

Doubt it.
I would love to see how they would try and integrate themselves into our knowledge without us just going absolutely ape **** though.

That's really up for debate. I suppose it is possible, but I personally don't believe it has happened as long as Humans have been on Earth.

Believing Aliens exist and believing they've visited Earth are two very different things. Yeah, I believe that there is life someone else in the Universe besides Earth, I'm not crazy.

But believing any of those races have visited Earth, that's a little outside of what I'm willing to believe. I don't see any evidence to really support it, and I see so many problems with that theory I wouldn't know where to start.

other than "probability" because of the number of stars, we have pretty much absolutely no reason to believe in either the existence of alien life and even less that they have come anywhere near us.

the irony of the number of atheists who believe there is some other form of life out there is quite hilarious.

I don't believe either way, but I don't see any reason its not possible.

I do love the fact that since we can't explain what created the Nazca lines, people jump right to, "Aliens did it!"

That being said, it's very probable that extraterrestrial life exists somewhere beyond our galaxy. The planets of the Gliese 581 planetary system (remember when they found that blue/green planet that's 20.5 light years away?) clearly shows that alien life is more than likely to exist out there. Aliens exist? Most likely. Aliens have visited Earth and screwed around with us positively or negatively? Probably not.
