| I guess few consider feasible a "wakanda" hypothesis. Maybe these guys somehow managed to survive in few numbers through the million of years since their civilization decline, and they'are around us, hidden in plain sight. Around 1400, a giant base - thousands of "old" people - in the middle of Greenland or Antarctica would have been almost 100% unreachable / undetectable for that moment's human technology. Right now there could be a giant space station around Neptune or somewhere in the outer ring of the solar system and we could barely notice it as an asteroid doing funny stuff (lights with no sunlight reflections!), if we got lucky enough to get a blurry image somehow. Maybe those out-of-the-solar system visitors are here not for us at all (no scouting), but they are here in their regular interchange with our older - highly advanced - cousins. Think about it, didn't we try to do the same with some primitive human tribes in the Amazon? We just tried to left them alone as far as possible, to do their stuff and we thrive in our own civilization, far away from them. A more advanced civilization of this solar system could be doing the same with us in Earth. We say "out there is fully inhabitable" just as we said that
about Siberia or Alaska, or the Sahara. But now - with some technology help - there are thousands of humans living in those places (even if we have no NY city like settlements). |
