Outer space is an endless tapestry of stars that stretches to infinity, and scattered across its expanses are 100 billion planets that could theoretically host life.
If only one percent of this life was intelligent, there might be a million civilizations out there, and among those million civilizations, one man could conceivably have discovered the mysteries of space travel.
Ancient astronauts may have been searching for life outside their own world and found it here on Earth. The existence of other intelligent beings in the universe fascinates future scientists.
If ancient astronauts landed here, what effect would they have had on early Earth humans? Maybe they are revered, feared, loved. Perhaps they brought gifts, new worlds of knowledge, or simply the principle of leverage.
If we accept the premise that a being from another civilization visited long ago, some mysteries of the past take on a new and startling light.
