“In order for us to have a future that’s exciting and inspiring, it has to be one where we’re a space bearing civilization.”
– Elon Musk
Billions of dollars have been spent in our quest to find an “Other Earth.” Since the launch of the Kepler telescope in 2009, scientists have identified thousands of planets capable of supporting life. Is it possible that this discovery finally answers the age-old question: “Are we alone in the Universe?” Could it be that just as we seek out other habitable planets, advanced extraterrestrials from distant galaxies did the same with Earth in the remote past? Throughout world mythologies, there are tales of beings from the stars coming down to Earth. The Dogon Tribe in Africa believes their gods came from the Sirius Star System. The Maya associated their gods with the Pleiades Star Cluster. And according to the Hopi tradition, life itself was seeded by celestial beings. Ancient Astronaut Theorists propose that not only has our planet been visited by extraterrestrials, but that they are responsible for our very existence. [7]

INTRODUCTION [7a]
Billions of Earth-like planets…
| “Why would there be this vast Universe and just us?”
– Michael Dennin, Ph.D. |
…Each capable of sustaining life…
| “In many ways, it’s like finding the Garden of Eden.”
– David Childress (Author, Technology of the Gods) |
…And each with possible evidence that we are not alone.

“We have this imprint within all of us, that our origin is out there. That life as we know it, on planet Earth originated elsewhere.” – Giorgio A. Tsoukalos |
Since the dawn of civilization, mankind has credited its origins to gods and other visitors from the stars. What if it were true? Did extraterrestrial beings really help to shape our history? And, if so, might this explain our search for another Earth?
