Did the Egyptians know how to create...

I didn't ignore it. However what you are saying is a "maybe"; yes, maybe we could be misinterpreting it, or maybe we are interpreting it the way it was meant to be interpreted.

Yes but in this case I don't think the possibility that ETs came to Earth and interacted with man is really that ridiculous.

Nope, I'm saying "maybe" because I personally can't prove it: ancient cultures and dress isn't my thing: I have, however, read enough on both sides of the "argument" to satisfy myself that there's no basis to the claims of "spacemen".

And we cannot exclude the possibility that Daffy Duck was actually a real person.
But the likelihood is so vanishingly small that it can be considered zero.
There is no evidence other than the trumped up junk the fraudulent (or fatally credulous) authors twist to support their own ends.
Every single author on this subject has been comprehensively shown to be:
genuinely in error, deliberately altering facts or manufacturing "facts".

But aliens could have visited, and I mean seriously.

I wouldn't consider the likeliness of aliens visiting earth so vanishingly small, however. That's what I mean: I think it is a very serious possibility.

Sure.
They could have.
But we have nothing at all to indicate, let alone confirm that they did.

Without evidence it's all speculation.

 

Yes but some speculation is more sensible than others

If earth like planets are rare, then any one that is found is significant. Therefore, if there is another advanced civilization, they would have taken a keen interest in Earth. This gives them motive to visit, and then discover primitive man.

 

Unless we're the most advanced race going.
Or there really is no way round the light speed barrier.
Or they weren't interested.
Or... they had alien reasons for not coming...
If alien races exist then you can't necessarily assign human curiosity to them.

Why would they take a "keen interest" in Earth?
Until you're nearly here there's little way of telling it's inhabited by a primitive species that may or not be intelligent.

 

That's possible.

Who says you need to break the light barrier to travel vast distances?

That is possible

True, but if they are human like, and thus curious....

Yes but they would be able to see that it is an earth like planet; it has water, etc, and this alone would make them take an interest in the planet if indeed earth like planets are rare.

 

Who sets off on a voyage of thousands of years not knowing where they're going or what there'll be when they arrive?

Possibly.
And how many others are there?
You're onto another IF again...

No, I mean, there are loopholes that would allow for FTL travel without actually breaking the light barrier

Sure, but it is an if that has some basis. It certainly is very seriously possible that ETs could have visited Earth in the past and might be doing so today.

 

Would that not come under the heading of a:

Possible.
No evidence.
Daffy Duck went for pint with me last night.
He's very popular with the local women.

 

You're equating the ridiculousness of Daffy Duck with ET life, which I don't find comparable.

 

No, I'm equating the possibilities (of visitation), based on the available evidence.

And calling Daffy ridiculous is fighting talk.
That's just the roles he plays in his films.
Not only a wonderful actor but he does all his own stunts too.

 

What about all the abductions and UFO sightings?

 

Abductions: hmmm which ones are genuinely true?
Check very very carefully....
Sightings.
Yup.
Not one indisputable case of an actual alien craft.

 

create gold? Really?

 

We can create practically any element.
Just add one particle at a time...

 

do you have a link? When did we do it?

Yes, fusion.

For instance one nitrogen and a hydrogen fused makes oxygen

At least, that's what I learned.

 

And yet no one here has even bothered to look up a geographical survey to see if there was any gold in Egypt?
