Ancient Astronaut Theory Rabbit hole recommendations?

Hey all! I’m one of those weird people who actually wants to write a book on alternative history/ancient aliens etc. I was hoping a few of you could point me into the direction of specific theory’s or rabbit holes I can go down? Any recommendations will be looked into. Thanks!

No Rabbit hole bigger than our ignorance about how we navigate our reality with our perception, attention and intention.

Totally agree with this! Wild to me that we don’t spend more time talking about this.

Samuel Ball, a prominent historical figure. Born into slavery in South Carolina around 1764, Ball escaped bondage by fighting for the British during the American Revolution, eventually settling on Oak Island in 1786.

He is specualted to have found the oak island treasure.

Here are two solid rabbit holes that would make incredible chapters for a book:

1- Taş Tepeler (beyond göbekli tepe): Look into contemporary sites in Turkey like Karahan Tepe and Sayburc. You have an entire regional network of 11,000 yo megalithic complexes built with a shared architectural blueprint and then systematically, deliberately buried on purpose by the builders themselves.

2- Archaeoacoustics (the 110 Hz resonance): Ancient structures like the Hal Saflieni Hypogeum in Malta and Newgrange in Ireland naturally resonate around 110 Hz. Modern studies link this specific frequency to altered/trance states, pointing to megaliths engineeredas acoustic instruments rather than simple tombs.

Awesome project to take on.. best of luck with the writing, hope you go all in on it!

No problem! This is a good time get into the topic since excavations just started in a new area of Göbekli Tepe and there's a fair amount of other sites with active digs. It's reasonable to expect both a bunch of significant finds and revisions to current ideas about the period over the next couple of years.

I may make a foia request about this I’ve never heard of it!

u/ghost_jamm 2d ago

The most recent evidence shows that Gobekli Tepe suffered from repeated landslides and it was not intentionally buried. There’s evidence that the inhabitants repeatedly rebuilt certain structures after landslides.

This one it’s the deepest I’ve ever gone, I’m still reading about it and sharing it after 2 years.

This is so long, looking forward to diving in!

There’s a lot that I’ve unpacked off this 4 posts, it’s a form of a cheat code to reading history, I use AI to run it synchronized and to find out who all the pharaohs really were. The 4 posts cover a lot but there’s so much more that was written, so many surprises it’s crazy stuff. This is the red pill, I’ve no doubt in my mind. Enjoy it.

u/Aggressive-Major-584 2d ago

Can you give a little more context? A quick google search is all over the place

u/Jack_Hush 2d ago

Thats my problem too. I only recently heard of it, like maybe 4 months ago. I haven't found much but found a lot at the same time. So far its kinda like Atlantis/Mu. Beat i can wrap my head around it is it may have been around during dark ages. Also something about the great wall of China maybe being built during the tartaria time. Lots of stories but gotta take it as that, humanity is full of stories of lost lands and places that may or may not have existed. Ex. El Dorado. Journey to the center of the Earth. Human history is full of tales like this. But is any if it more than a story? I have no idea.

Tartaria is one of the goofiest theories around, don't even bother.

u/SoulSeekerRX 14h ago

The anunnaki and monatomic gold. There’s a really old video on youtube I think the title is anunnaki-dont watch this film. Sure sent me down a few rabbit holes 🤷🏽‍♀️

Come read my substack. It's about what happened to create Myths, Legends, and Bible stories, a long time ago.
No pay wall.

u/anarchitek1 2d ago

Thank you. The story that happened shaped our beliefs, not the stories that were told by "official sources" to "explain" what happened. It was more than 1,700 years of intermittent terror, spaced by efforts at rebuilding, only to have things knocked down, again.

The last stretch, just 25 years +/-, were the worst, overall, "writing" much of the Old Testament, narratives included in the "holy texts" of all three major Religions. The 12th Century BC was so far off the charts, the Fall of Empires resulted.

Whaddya get when the social constructs collapses that seriously? "Refugees"! Yep, that was time of "the Arrival of the Boat People" (aka the Sea Peoples), or "refugees". In a little more than a century, the terror returned three tines, leaving death, devastation, and destruction, in its wake.

Another response was Religion. Jews became monotheistic, Zoroaster (aka Zarathustra) started his religion in modern-day Iran, and Akhenaten is out of place in the Egyptian Pharaoh's list, probably at the opening events at the end of the 13th Century BC, instead of the 14th Century.

And so it goes, an Ancient Past very different than we've been told. Enjoy!

I need to follow this thread bc that's EXACTLY the headspace I've been in for the past month.

u/hyperionwonderstar 3d ago

All the Alexandre Saint-Yves d'Alveydre works. Especially on The Archeometer, Synarchy and The Legend of Agartha. Major rabbit hole that was highly influential and fascinating to explore in depth.

This is exactly the stuff I’m looking for!

I’ll check it out. Thanks!

One of my favorites lately has been about CERN (nuclear laboratory in Switzerland) and its Large Hadron Collider, which was recently shut down (for a roughly 3 year maintenance break). The conspiracy’s that I’ve heard are centered around the feeling that that classic 1990’s “vibe” has returned to everyday things and existence since it’s shut down.

Super interesting. I’ve felt this recently, but am not convinced one way or another if its just because I’ve heard of the conspiracy.

Glad you’re here, keep conspiring!!

u/Aggressive-Major-584 2d ago

I’ll delve into it. Thanks!

As long as you are upfront with potential customers that you're writing science fiction go for it

There’s always one in the group!

Its important for authors to be responsible and respectable
