Getting a Little Help from Ancient Astronauts The first thing that comes to mind when the word “UFO” is mentioned is more than likely “hoax.” Philip J. Klass, a noted UFO investigator and skeptic would agree. Klass passed away in 2005, but he lived in a time where UFO sightings were popular; a time that allowed technology to trick the naked eye, and a time that has no solid evidence that UFO’s are real. Klass was investigating the wrong time period. If he would have visited ancient places like the Great Pyramid or looked at the medieval map known as the Piri Reis Map, he might have had a change of heart. Maybe if he could have traveled the world to investigate all of the B.C. era ancient art and iconography, which most is available to the general public in museums, he would have changed his mind. In the interview “UFO Sightings Are Hoaxes and Mistakes” by Gary Posner, Klass responds to questions from critics who challenge his passion for debunking these UFO reports. He states that “in thirty-three years of investigating reports of UFOs, he has yet to find any credible evidence that extraterrestrials have visited Earth” (Posner). Let’s focus on what we call Ancient Astronauts. Ancient Astronauts are Extraterrestrials who visited earth in the B.C. era or soon after, something that Klass never investigated. Ancient Astronauts and UFO sightings are real and have been documented since the B.C. era. First, the Great Pyramid of Giza, one of the Seven Wonders of the World, maybe the greatest piece of evidence that Ancient Astronauts have visited Earth. Ray Alex, author of “Egyptian Archaeologist Admits that the Pyramids Contain UFO Technology”, has found in ancient hieroglyphs where the Egyptians state “the pyramids where built in an age when "sky gods" came down to Earth and raised the land from mud and water. These “sky gods” flew through the air in flying "boats" that brought laws and wisdom to man through a royal line of pharaohs” (Alex). The
