What kind of ancient culture was it, and who were its main participants? Scientists have been looking for answers to these questions for many decades. They go on expeditions, wanting to get "to the bottom", participate in excavations and carefully study their findings. There are many versions of what the life of ancient civilizations was like. One of them is the theory of the direct participation of divine beings in the life of ancient people.
There were a great many gods, and each of them had its own role, its own “sphere of activity”. Sufficient scientists have found evidence of this. It was also revealed that ancient civilizations were at a high level of development. But how the first representatives of these same civilizations appeared, and whether the gods were involved in this, still remains a mystery for modern science.
Despite the huge number of handwritten texts found during excavations and expeditions that could somehow help in the study of this issue, there are still plenty of "dark spots". This is due to the complexity of the translation of the texts themselves, and those that are translated cannot be said with certainty which is correct. Therefore, the idea of the existence of ancient civilizations, their way of life can be formed in a modern person incorrectly. What can we say about those cases when no written documents from the ancient civilization have remained at all. Conclusions about their lives are very superficial and are formed only from the analysis of those objects that have been found by scientists. And this can lead to a huge number of erroneous judgments, possibly very far from the truth.
Often the life of ancient civilizations is very closely associated with the religious component in order to explain certain aspects of their life. There is a lot of evidence for this, and there is no doubt that the gods were an integral part of ancient civilizations. Not knowing, not having sufficient knowledge to explain this or that phenomenon, they attributed it to the gods. And there were a huge number of them.
Scientists believe that ancient people were the owners of a sufficiently developed thinking that allowed them to compare the processes of the surrounding world with the activities of mystical creatures. It was not the same as that of modern man, there was no logical component in it, but the level of development was very high. Moreover, in those days the thinking that was accepted by the collective or community was very widespread.
In the course of long-term research, it was revealed that in ancient civilizations, ceremonies for the most part were initiation, a transition to a new stage of life. After that, the person was no longer the same. He was entrusted with other responsibilities and a certain model of behavior adopted in that society. When comparing this approach with what is now, you can understand that they are similar. After all, for a modern person to finish kindergarten, get a passport, go to school means to move to a new stage in his life, and there is no return to the previous image. The essence is the same, but modern man does not associate it with something mystical. And this is due to the fact that a certain level of development of society has been reached, cultural customs and traditions have been formed, which are considered the norm for everyone.
No less interesting is the concept of taboo, which was also present among the ancient peoples. They only found an explanation in mysticism, not having sufficient opportunities to formulate taboo in their lives. Modern society is also "saturated" with various prohibitions that do not have a clear explanation. An example is a ban on the use of profanity in everyday life, this is considered a sign of bad manners. But who decided that, and why does society make this decision and follow it? Why is it customary to wear a formal suit for an important meeting, and not beachwear, which is more comfortable for a person? This is accepted in the society in which we live, and we follow these rules without hesitation, out of habit. There is nothing mystical about this.
Scientists looking for traces of the gods of ancient civilizations have their own point of view and their own vision of ancient life, but this opinion is subjective. Initially, it seems that this search will certainly not lead to anything, since no one knows what what needs to be found looks like. But, turning to the ancient legends that have survived to this day, an approximate picture can be drawn.

The most important distinguishing feature of divine beings was their superpowers, which they possessed. This means that you need to look for those objects that do not fit into the general picture of the life of people of that time. On the one hand, everything is simple and clear, but on the other hand, every now and then one has to face the reluctance of the researchers themselves to talk about such findings. After all, this will lead to the fact that the picture they describe will not be complete and contradictory, and this is unlikely to be accepted by modern society.
Historians and archaeologists have a humanitarian mindset, and their interpretations of the life of ancient civilizations also have a humanitarian basis. But, if the question of the possibilities of ancient civilizations is being considered, then for the most part it is the technical component of that life that is ignored by the humanities and is not taken into account. A person with a technical education sees things that historians do not even pay attention to, considering this an unimportant and insignificant element in solving the question of ancient peoples. It is these artifacts that can lead research to completely new discoveries that have not even been voiced before.
On the issue of the disappearance of the gods, scientists are also divided. Someone believes that the gods self-destructed as a result of wars among themselves, someone speaks of their degradation and connection with ordinary people, someone believes that the gods are inhabitants of another planet. In our time, such "aliens" are called UFOs. The study of mythology gives the right to make a conclusion about the existence of this phenomenon in ancient civilizations. This is confirmed by the mass of finds, including visual images of UFOs. And such phenomena were not isolated. They still exist …
