Ancient technology—

Such a strange oxymoron

But look around the world

From Greece and Egypt

To China and Jordan

And you will uncover the skeletons

Of technology so old

That it can only be called “ancient”

Covered in dust and dirt

And stripped to its bare bones

Only the mysteries left behind

How were they built?

How were they used?

Why?

Why?

Why?

Non-Christian, non-Caucasian

Some might even say Pagan

There’s only one answer to these questions:

Aliens
