It's cute that some like to get on their science and logic pedestals and just dismiss this theory entirely because "oh, no concrete facts that I can observe with my naked eye yet." If you ask me, that's placing way too much faith in human perception and mental capacity. We're a flawed species. We see only 3% of the electromagnetic spectrum or something like that. And old ways of looking at the world and history have been proven wrong time and time again, so I think we should be open to the possibility that the way we see things now could change drastically once more a few generations down the line. I'm not about to say that aliens designed humans, taught us everything, are using the moon to monitor Earth, etc., but like someone above said, anything is possible and I don't think that we should be so high and mighty in acting as though "if it can't be understood/proven with our systems of thinking, then it's wrong/doesn't exist."

As for the ancient astronaut theory, I guess you could say I'm somewhere in the middle with it. I do at times find propositions made by people who support these theories extremely outlandish and nothing more than wishful interpretation of ancient mythologies, archaeology, etc. I definitely think that human beings were once at a higher level of consciousness than we are now, more aware of the world around us and the functioning of the cosmos. It's hard to not get this impression when one studies the intricacies of ancient astronomy, calendars, metaphysical systems, and the like, which in some cases are actually strikingly on point with modern science. However, it does seem a bit silly to look at all of that and say that humans had some kind of external, extraterrestrial assistance in developing those things and that they didn't develop of our own accord and willpower.

On the other hand, I also think it's silly to dismiss the possibility of other intelligent life in the universe, taking simple odds into account when one stops and considers the vastness of the universe and the likelihood of there being life on other planets that has developed civilization at or even beyond the human level. In Earth's 4 1/2 billion year history, it seems unlikely to me that no external life ever visited the planet. If some did, whether or not it had any role in human development is another question entirely. But I don't necessarily think we should dismiss ancient mythologies and legends as nothing more than fairy tale bullshit, even though many do. There are many things in certain mythologies that were once regarded as such and have since been proven to have (at least partial) historical basis, eg. Trojan War, Mahabharata, King David, Babylon, etc. So I think we should remain open to all myths having some sort of factual foundation to them, albeit highly exaggerated ones. Perhaps the gods that ancient astronaut theorists portray as benevolent extraterrestrial helpers were simply rulers of some sort of ancient, proto-civilization that achieved legendary status because of their accomplishments and were subsequently deified. Who really knows? We don't. And since we don't we shouldn't act as if we're the experts on what did happen or the experts on what didn't happen either. Especially considering the fact that written human history, in the grand scheme of things, isn't that new an invention, and there's a much longer history of oral, nonrecorded history. Basically, just because it wasn't written down doesn't have to mean it didn't happen. Again, I think we should be careful of placing too much faith in our current ways of understanding history and realize that there could be massive amounts of information still out there that could really shake up the way we look at things.

Tl;dr: I'm open to the ancient astronaut theory. It can be exaggerated at points and would be much stronger with more concrete evidence to back it up, but I don't think it should be dismissed entirely due to a lack of such evidence. That comes off as a bit close-minded.

no there are always new theories and unexplained things ... and we all see world is much older, every day we found new things

Hej,
Thierry jamin, a french archeologist searching for inca sites in perou, bought from huaqueros what looks like alien bodies and samples are being analysed in 3 differents labs atm. There is nothing in english on the www about this, as far as I know.
I really liked the ancient aliens series, at least even if you don't believe in it, it makes you discover lots of amazing sites, some of which could really make you wonder about how they were built, there are also some weaker stuff like stone carving which look only a bit like an alien but could be anything else.

I personally know several people who've accessed the Vatican archives. Don't be paranoid.
