There are people who believe we moved from Mars to Earth hundreds of thousands of years ago because we made it the dusty, uninhabitable planet it is today.
It seems really far-fetched, and the theory is full of obvious problems. But then you see news like this and can’t help but wonder…
(My heart goes out to all of you who became so terribly offended by this.)
It’s far fetched because there’s literally no evidence of this anywhere other than someone’s imagination.
I’ve never understood these ‘We had amazing technology but then just kind of forgot’ conspiracy theories.
I get it. I once spent half an hour looking for the remote which I had left in the fridge.
Well we did. We only in the past few years realized how the Romans made cement, which was a far more advanced building material than we had again until the industrial revolution. The Bronze Age collapse is an older example, but we’ve had stories of great civilizations along with the technology they control dying and leaving mysteries for those who came next for as long as we have a cultural record.
The leap to space travel level technology is a big one, but I could see it being a really cool sci-fi novel. I think that’s basically the only requirement for a conspiracy theory: does it sound cool.
…wonder if those people are dumbasses? Yes. They are.
I can help but wonder apparently?
