So you are chosen to present us to Aliens.

Bach, of course.

Equally of course, they already know him.

Maybe they would be bored with more than 5 minutes of Bach. I like the guy and his sons but the depth in the music is mostly mathematical. Beethoven would more likely appeal to the emotions and still have depth. Of course that would assume said aliens had anything like our emotional minds. If they had minds more like Spock, they might not appreciate Ludwig very much. Maybe they would like Rodrigo Y Gabriella🙂

The Complete Works of William Shakespeare

IMO they would consider that to be an extremely narrow representation of Earth art, not looking at the Chinese masters or the Tibetan books and such. I think instead if anything we should send EVERYTHING in print, digitize the whole lot and beam it up. If the aliens are way ahead of us it would probably take them a week to read the whole bunch🙂

And that doesn't even extend into world music, dance, sculpture, drawings, glass art, etc.

I'd give them some very colourful beads & a bible.

It's always worked in the past.

...show them episodes of star trek...tell them that this is what we are really up to....don't f^%$ with us were the good guys.......

Give 'em framed far-side cartoons with their faces photo-shopped in.

Seems like this thread was just in time!

If all the foregoing discussion hasn't helped enough, others have been giving it thought, too:

I'm surprised he didn't predict Dec 21 2012 as the date. Just think, only 2 days to go and we will not be innocent anymore😉

How do you present the accomplishments of the human race in the best light, they are trying to figure out if we are worthy of joining the Galactic League.

An alien landing party stopped by the house late one evening, I was logged in here, they started reading the forums, they've never left.
