Plausibility of ancient extraterrestrials

[BrianSoddingBoru4]

That's cool and all...but...I'm just wondering what the batteries are doing for that, if anything?

The batteries, and any other evidence of advanced science in ancient times, are a moot point since no one seems to disagree that sometimes ancient people figured out some things that've been traditionally thought of as modern inventions/discoveries

I threw in the batteries even after acknowledging it was a moot point in the original reply

I acknowledge that homo sapiens sapiens could have evolved without external interference

I also acknowledge that advanced ancient science doesn't necessarily have to be the result of aliens teaching us anything

Also, I acknowledge that it was Plato who originally told the story of Atlantis; I nonetheless hold that ancient aliens built it

(Bold mine)

There was nothing to build. Atlantis is an allegory that Plato used to demonstrate his concept of an ideal state. It was a fictional place when Plato made it up, and it's a fictional place now.
