Who Were The Star People Mentioned By Ancient Cultures Around The Globe?

You can assume whatever you want and I can assume whatever I want.

There is no doubt that a number of ancient “myths” talk of star people. Myths often are based on factual events. For example there are also lots and lots of flood myths.

Study: Laurentide Ice Sheet Melting Caused "Noah's Ark" Flood And Led To European Agriculture

New research published in Quaternary Science Reviews says the collapse of the North American (Laurentide) Ice Sheet caused the flood believed to be behind the "Noah's Ark" story 8000 years ago that kick-started modern European agriculture.

The ancients believed the flood was caused by spring snowmelt in the zagross mountains combined with spring rains. It happened from time to time and built the delta south of Basra.

Right. Because... Wait for it... Floods happen!

 

[Fort Fun Indiana]

People accept what they are told. Without fundamentally understanding the science behind it, they will accept ANYTHING they believe comes from a knowledgeable authority

Tru to an extent. However, not all authorities are equal. Choosing to trust scientists is based on the mountain of evidence that is their success. Choosing to believe Pastor Joe that racial mixing os a sin is based on magical authority, emotion and retrofitting personal fetishes and neuroses to ancient mythology. Big difference.

Especially during major climate change events.

The Reality in Flood Myths?

Flood stories pervade hundreds of cultures and there are striking similarities to many of the accounts. It seems that at least some of these stories could be based upon actual events. Geologists have proposed the possibility of a great flood in the Middle East at the end of the last Ice Age, which was about 7,000 years ago. At that time, the Black Sea was a freshwater lake surrounded by farmlands.

The hypothesis is that the European glaciers melted and the Mediterranean Sea overflowed with a force that was 200 times greater than Niagra Falls. That would be an incredibly fast-moving wall of floodwater. There is physical evidence that supports this theory, including stone age structures under the Black Sea.

Other theories include tsunamis and suggest that comets might have caused the flooding as well.

Yes, but that water would have advanced very slowly, i thought. Like, you could just walk away from it.

Not in the case of a tsunami, though.

You don't get tsunamis in the Red Sea or Persian Gulf.. I am not sure about the Mediterranean but I don't think you have tsunamis there either.

Black Sea was a very slow moving flood.. They had weeks and months to move to higher ground.. but, it does correspond to the spread of agriculture technology.

 

[buttercup]

I stated myths are often BASED on actual events.

There was a flood. Then there was a story about a man and a boat full of animals in a number of different cultures and places.

it was a great story and story tellers love good stories.

Google “list of flood myth.”

Notice how he subtly twists what you said in order to mock you? These people are simply dishonest.

 

[buttercup]

No matter where you look, ancient legends, mythologies and written accounts mention beings that came down from the heavens and came in contact with ancient mankind thousands of years ago.

Referred to as the 'star people', these beings are considered by many mainstream authors and Ancient Astronauts theorists as flesh and blood aliens.

One of the most incredible accounts of star people can be found in Native American history and folklore.

And while stories of intelligent beings visiting Earth from a distant place in the Cosmos date back as far as history can look back, spanning across countless cultures and different continents, mainstream scholars pay little to no attention at all, when dealing with such subjects.

History before history mentions beings not from Earth, called,



...different names describe the same beings that came down from the heavens...

Very interesting topic. The answer… or at least a clue to the answer is found in Genesis 6:4. The intelligent beings were not aliens, the “Sons of God” spoken about in Genesis 6:4 were fallen angels. The book of Enoch also speaks about them, and what is very interesting is that they were the root of so much evil in this world today, because they taught mankind so many evil things, everything from abortion to weaponry, sorcery, etc.

But your standard for honesty is a book of iron aged lies invented by ignorant, superstitious people.

 

[buttercup]

But your standard for honesty is a book of iron aged lies invented by ignorant, superstitious people.

In your opinion. And frankly, what is ignorant is to be so dismissive of the Bible, even if one is an unbeliever. Even if you disregard the spiritual stuff, there is plenty of wisdom taught in the Bible, and beautiful timeless principles that anyone can appreciate, believer or not. And even after 2000 years of people trying to discredit it, it is still the most read, studied, quoted and highest selling book of all time, hands-down.

 

[Fort Fun Indiana]

In your opinion.

Yes. You gave yours, I gave mine. See how that works? Also, it's a bit more than opinion. The Bible is full of provably false nonsense, like virgin birth and resurrection. That's not opinion, it's an evidence-based determination based on all the evidence ever collected.

So clearly some opinions are worth much more than others.

Perhaps the Black Sea flood was bigger than you imagine.

Black Sea deluge hypothesis - Wikipedia

en.wikipedia.org

The Black Sea deluge is the best known of three hypothetical flood scenarios proposed for the Late Quaternary history of the Black Sea. It is one of the two of these flood scenarios which propose a rapid, even catastrophic, rise in sea level of the Black Sea during the Late Quaternary.[1][2]

***snip***

The rising Mediterranean finally spilled over a rocky sill at the Bosporus. The event flooded 100,000 km2 (39,000 sq mi) of land and significantly expanded the Black Sea shoreline to the north and west. According to these researchers, 50 km3 (10 cu mi) of water poured through each day, two hundred times the flow of Niagara Falls. The Bosporus valley roared and surged at full spate for at least three hundred days. They argued that the catastrophic inflow of seawater resulted from an abrupt sea-level jump that accompanied the Laurentide Ice Sheetcollapse and the ensuing breach of a bedrock barrier in the Bosporus strait.

As proposed, the Early Holocene Black Sea flood scenario describes events that would have profoundly affected prehistoric settlement in eastern Europe and adjacent parts of Asia and possibly was the basis of oral history concerning Noah's flood.[4] Some archaeologists support this theory as an explanation for the lack of Neolithic sites in northern Turkey.[5][6][7] In 2003, Ryan and coauthors revised the dating of the early Holocene flood to 8400 14C years BP (possibly around 8800 calendar years BP).[8]

Should correct the page to say it was possibly the source of the oral history of flood myths in ancient cultures in the region from which the Noah myth was plagiarized wholecloth.

As I said above a good story was always worth retelling in ancient times. Of course we still rerun good and bad stories today.

Yes we do. But when I see a movie that is "based on Macbeth", it openly admits it and does not pretend to be the infallible Word of God. Not that I think you had to be told that.

The "star people" are simply a vehicle used by the supposed smart people to grift the gullible. If these supposed travelers of the cosmos were real.......would one really have to ask such questions in the first place? These type of questions are philosophical in nature (existing only between the ears).

Its only natural for man to think and attempt to reason about things that he does not know about and has no method of actually finding evidence to answer any such queries. Humans are curious by nature......always wondering seeking answers to questions that have no answers (because they exist only in one's mind).

Its the same old question that has existed since the beginning when man first looked upon into the heavens, into the immense skies above. How does all this space work and what does it mean to me? What exactly is the nature of my reality, my existence?

Again......traditionally this is best addressed as philosophy instead of history or religion. More in the area of Science Fiction. As no one has produced any evidence that space travel of such enormous distance is even possible, nor has any archaeology evidence been produced that demonstrates anything other than natural life forms has ever existed upon earth.........or, once again you would not to be asking such questions and getting no answers except philosophical opinions.

The rules for authors were different in ancient times. For example pseudepigrapha was common.

Pseudepigrapha - Wikipedia

en.wikipedia.org

There have probably been pseudepigrapha almost from the invention of full writing. For example, ancient Greek authors often refer to texts which claimed to be by Orpheus or his pupil Musaeus of Athens but which attributions were generally disregarded. Already in Antiquity the collection known as the "Homeric Hymns" was recognized as pseudepigraphical, that is, not actually written by Homer.[citation needed] The only surviving Ancient Roman book on cooking is pseudepigraphically attributed to a famous gourmet, Apicius, even though it is not clear who actually assembled the recipes.

Literary studies[edit]​

In secular literary studies, when works of antiquity have been demonstrated not to have been written by the authors to whom they have traditionally been ascribed, some writers apply the prefix pseudo- to their names. Thus the encyclopedic compilation of Greek myth called the Bibliotheca is often now attributed, not to Apollodorus of Athens, but to "pseudo-Apollodorus" and the Catasterismi, recounting the translations of mythic figure into asterisms and constellations, not to the serious astronomer Eratosthenes, but to a "pseudo-Eratosthenes". The prefix may be abbreviated, as in "ps-Apollodorus" or "ps-Eratosthenes".[citation needed]

Old Testament and intertestamental studies[edit]​

See also: Apocrypha and Biblical apocrypha
In biblical studies, pseudepigrapha refers particularly to works which purport to be written by noted authorities in either the Old and New Testaments or by persons involved in Jewish or Christian religious study or history. These works can also be written about biblical matters, often in such a way that they appear to be as authoritative as works which have been included in the many versions of the Judeo-Christian scriptures. Eusebius indicates this usage dates back at least to Serapion of Antioch, whom Eusebius records[5] as having said: "But those writings which are falsely inscribed with their name (ta pseudepigrapha), we as experienced persons reject...."

Many such works were also referred to as Apocrypha, which originally connoted "secret writings", those that were rejected for liturgical public reading. An example of a text that is both apocryphal and pseudepigraphical is the Odes of Solomon.[6] It is considered pseudepigraphical because it was not actually written by Solomon but instead is a collection of early Christian (first to second century) hymns and poems, originally written not in Hebrew, and apocryphal because they were not accepted in either the Tanakh or the New Testament.

Yes, but it remains that there is a difference between a myth and and, say, some oral history embellished through time. Myths are false but are presented and purported to be true.
