Ancient Aliens
Does anyone here ever watch the show Ancient Aliens? Other than Gio, the god of Every Growing Hair, what is the common take on all the whacky proposals they make? No matter what they speak of, Its An Ancient Astronaut Theory! The moon is an Alien created orb. The burning bush? Aliens! Tsunami's? Underwater Aliens! Earthquakes? Underground Alien Lizard People! Geez... so any opinions on the numerous topics they dance around?

Feel free to reply to any comment by clicking the "Reply" button.I want Erich von Däniken and David Icke to leave me alone now, I can't take much more. I used to watch this regularly as entertainment. Then found out people genuinely believe in it. It should be shown in the classroom to teach students how misinterpreting information and taking wild stabs in the dark can lead to absolutely ridiculous gravity defying hair and that if you strap a large motor and propeller to something lightweight you can make it fly. If the Nazca lines are runways for spaceships they are the least efficient air travel ever created. The most upsetting thing is it belittles human achievements, to suggest Einstein and Tesla were being given secret knowledge by aliens is just an insult to their works and memory.

but Tesla was give secret knowledge from aliens even says so on these here stone tablets from the top of a mountain.
@Myranta Cheers Moses mk2, don't worry an alien beamed down and told me that the earth is going to be flooded with hydrogen and commanded me to build a spaceship with duct tape and chewing gum and fill it with two of every plant "kind" it then muttered something about it all going tits up last time so they're going to do the job properly this time.
oh my fuck! i am laughing like a hyena! my god, dave, you are too funny! why! why are all the hilarious men so damn faar away?!! oh i love to laugh! you are so brit witty! every, single line, PURE laughter poetry! I choked on my water when i read "If the Nazca lines are runways for spaceships they are the least efficient air travel ever created." I am laughing so hard I am crying! I AM CRYING for christ sake!! weeping tears of joy!! bwaaahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
@Myranta oh man! then you just HAD to toss that final comment in to just... push me Right off the laughter cliffs!! im about to hit the floor laughing! no no, myranta, i heard it was the lizard people living in the earths core that coaxed bo Tesla and Einstein?? i mean, clearly there must be an Einstein connection. just LOOK at Einsteins hair and Gio's hair for cryin out loud?! kinda like im crying out loud, with laughter, at this very moment.
It wasn't the lizard people it was the Annunaki clearly they flew in and gave Einstein the equation for Relativity they were hiding in Area 52 because 51 is just a cover up to keep us all guessing when 52 is on the darkside of the moon.
@ sadoi Logged out lastnight around 0230 laid down flipped on TV and get...

I JUST DID EXACTLY THAT! when i woke up today, i said to my best friend sean, "oh god... i had soo many fucked up dreams last night! i forgot to turn the TV off and it was on ancient aliens marathon alll damn night!" his response, "yeah, that would do it Ari!" lol
you really want some fucked up dreams just put on The Wall very low and let it play while you drift off.
I sometimes watch it for the entertainment factor. Plus, I love his hair...reminds me of Kramer on Seinfeld.

Yes! I swear, if you watch their marathons they play over the course of a weekend, you can Physically Chart the grown of Gio's hair from Season to Season. Its like this ever growing bundle of cotton candy just getting biiiigger... and biiigger... and, oh my lord, when he Moves his Animated Greek head about and that GIANT poof just Bobs around... I am actually CRACKING up laughing right now, As I Type This, just imagining his dang hair! It is Probably the highlight of watching Ancient Aliens for me. He makes the Entire Show! hahahaha
Is it possible considering the infinite vastness of the universe that aliens exist? Could they be traveling billions of light years to our planet just because they have an irresistible fascination for probing our rectums?
Ancient Astronaut theorists say Yes!

Draw a line from Bombay to Stockholm, about 600 miles wide. West of that line, everyone is mostly Animist. East of that line, people have not-quite-deistic religions; Buddhism, Confucian, ancestor worship, etc. But within that space, there are gods who look like people and do people-like stuff as well as the god-like stuff they do. somewhere near the middle of that space is Mesopotamia, where all the important stuff -- the wheel, writing, math -- got invented. Moving west, we get to the Canaan/Egypt area. Reading the story of Israel coming out of Egypt ( whether or not that actually happened) we see, for example, the plans for what could be a really big capacitor with an antenna on top, operated by guys with arrays of crystals and special jelly on their fingers, and a voice comes out of the box. Then there's the gas barbecue grill, possibly a hypodermic needle with anti-snake venom, a procedure for controlling infectious disease... None of this might mean anything, but hey.

Although it seems to go in circles, I must admit, it was well written and i stuck to it to the bitter end! haha! Why do i hear these words in Gio's voice??! lol
I love the absurdity in this show. They do it with some trickery. I watch it and comontate in my head. One example they like to talk about the aftermath of some super weapon that was discharged in India thousands of years back, never accounting for the phrous that could have done this. They talk about the large stone heads on Easter island the simplest answer for this is they were made to deter passing ships from coming to the island in hopes they would think the island was inhabited by monsters. They never bring up points like this. I do like to watch the show thow it is geared to the novice UFO enthusiasts.

I agree! i watch it and just lauuugh and laauugh at the absurdities! i must admit, it IS one of my guilty pleasures! hahah
I was raised in Texas. I remember when I was a child hearing that there were illegal aliens in the town where I lived. I was so excited; I was going to meet a real live alien. Imagine my disappointment when I was told that the "illegal aliens" were people from Mexico.

LMAO!! oh man and now she is making me laugh too!!! lol! did ET give you a peek at his green card? did he ask to phone home too?
brilliant haha
Honestly I've met a few ancient aliens, generally they came here as 20 somethings from latin america. Also I've been an alien..I was an illegal alien when I lived in Sweden.
As for the Moon being created by them, Not One of them ever confessed to doing so..on the other hand they Never denied it either...hmmm

ooh i am intrigued! soo, if we have no confession, and no denial either, we could say... we are agnostic in regards to whether or not the alien did, indeed, create the moon?! correct? (btw, i adored your response! hahaha excellent!)
alienS, not alien. not the lone rogue ET!
@splittingzero
Really??? Noooo way..
@Charlene yea its true. we collided with another earth sized object during the formation of the planet/solar system. when they collided, the moon was a chunk that broke free, but ended up locked in our gravitational pull. the object that collided with earth is known as Theia. im pretty sure you can google Theia and get a decent amount of info. 
I miss the day when you could watch the History Channel and actually learn something.

Well, you "can" tecnhincally learn something. Liiiike... Stonehenge- Aliens. Easter Island- Aliens. The Burning Bush- Aliens. Most of the Old Testiment- Aliens. Tesla- Alien?? Bermuda Triangle- Aliens. Trump- Alien.
First you have to have the ability to learn. Most of these comments debunking Et's come from people who believe that we are the most advanced beings in the Universe and that it is all for us. Most people here sound like those idiots that believe a God created everything for humans. And I thought Trump supporters were dumb. WOW!!
They are just substituting aliens for god on everything that they do not comprehend. They even say that Einstein and Tesla were given their great theories and inventions by aliens. Religious people says god gave it to them, those guys says no it was aliens. All absurd and idiotic.

YES! every 10 sentences: "Ancient Astronaut Theorists Believe" bwaahahaha!! Always ALIENS!!! Hey, we need to make a spoof! haha! You and I, we can pose as fake scientists. lol @ScienceBiker debunks! lol
@Sadoi and @ScienceBiker that would be awesome! We would have to have a title... like 'Ancient Brilliant Human Theorists believe... People!' or something... humm.
I call dibs on the spiky hair do!!!! Lol!
@ScienceBiker HAHAHA! i love the science channel! beats the fucking history channel at this point! haha
The subject is serious; the program is entertainment by speculation.

please elaborate
btw, totally off topic, but Soquel is a beautiful town, if that is what your name implies.
@Sadoi Hi Sadoi: Newbe here 24' old. Studying UFO stuff for decades.
The program is not objectively based but looking for evidence of "ancient gods",etc. Are you familiar with occam's razor, ' a scientific princ. which indicates the most direct explanation is usually the most accurate. This program entertains by pre-set determinative attitude that all unexplained stuff is, must be, the work of aliens. (I could elaborate.)
For more accurate info, read books written by whistle-blowing gov't insiders, people with relevant credentials, without an ax to grind, or a bank account to fill, and finally experiencers/abductees. Consider reading any book by Bud Hopkins.
Can give more info if interested.
@soquel oh yes. I have been familiar with Occam's Razor since I was a tween. I am a scientific based creature. I am always willing to investigate things others prompt me toward if they do so respectfully and not under the guise of spewing insanity my way! haha! And yes, I had an aunt from Santa Cruz who used to date a guy in Soquel, but that was in the late 80s/early 90s so its been a minute! haha! My uncle is from Big Sur and my mother is from Monterey. I grew up in Morro Bay, in San Luis Obispo county. No one has Ever heard of Morro Bay unless they are native calif and/or lived in the region. I am sure the same can be said of Soquel. It is Gorgeous!!! I bet those hills are fantastic! I havent been back for decades, but I should return. If you had to name 3 things you thought would be the best place to begin researching what you speak of, where would you start me out?
I think it's greatly entertaining! I love it. They do reach really far to make it all an alien connection but that's part of the fun for me. I just see it for what it is. A TV show for entertaining and it does that well.

Yeah its like, "how many jumps must they make to connect Anything to Aliens." They should do a segment where people send in an item, place, theory, etc and then Ancient Aliens sees how few steps it takes them to get that topic to "Aliens Did It!" Like, I can submit "Toaster" then they do the steps to figure out how to connect Toaster to "the Aliens have Invented it," to whom the aliens sent the blueprint 'Through,' etc. Eventually it will link its way to Alien Intervention, Alien Conspiracy, Aliens Aliens Aliens! haha
@ Sadoi Kevin Bacon game Aliens version?
You all think the show is a joke but you watch it. What does that tell you? Well, clever marketing, but also we humans just love the idea of a big cosmic thingamy to intrigue us. Oh, I'm no better, before you flame me. I've watched a few episodes, but not a lot. It's a hoot. Mostly harmless, unlike ghost talkers and mediums, which I strongly dislike. Oh, you know the moon is hollow, with an alien base inside from which they launch UFOs. They covered that. Just thought I'd mention it.

I watch Ghost Adventures also but it's all just to laugh at them.
Oh, but hey, out near Catalina Island off the California Coast, it is a Well Known fact that there is an underwater USO base where Alll the USO's are landing! So be careful if you surf off Catalina! Watch for Underwater Submerged Objects on take off! Could bump you a few thousands of feet out of the water! haha
Do you people who think Et's aren't real believe the earth is flat too?
@DwayneBarrett And the link between questioning the existence of Aliens and believing the world is flat is ???
I've seen it a few times and I find it really entertaining but, I always end up feeling guilty for laughing at them.

I used to feel guilty, but I got over that pretty fast! I mean, how Seriously can you take it whenever you see Gio's every growing hair and how much it bounces as he gets more and more worked up??! Everything is an Ancient Astronaut Theory! hahaha!! You Can't be guilty for laughing at them! hahaha!! We all do it. Its as natural as sneezing Rufus! lol
@Sadoi I guess you're right, it still feels a bit like laughing at a clumsy child though! My favourite is the anthropologist who constantly contradicts herself, o forget her name now...
@Rufus_Maximus hmm i can only recall the astrophysicis Sara Seager, but I suppose I haven't seen enough episodes to know of this anthropologist female you speak of. lol
Laugh at your own stupidity if you think man is the most advanced being in the Universe.
@DwayneBarrett I think it's highly probable that there is other life in the universe. I also think it's highly probable that that life did not build the pyramids, and has not been holidaying on sunny Earth.
I'm laughing at ancient aliens, not aliens in general.
You guys need to see the dvd version of "A day without a mexican". the movie filmed in 2004 was based on a funny documentary about a study of aliens in mexico. It was so funny that they expanded the story to turn into a movie and added parts and characters from the documentary. The dvd version should have the feature documentary on itself as a special feature. From the fact that the mockumentary done in 1997 says all mexicans are aliens and before anyone cries fault the documentary was made and directed by mexicans. From the shape of the mexican sombrero that looks like a 50's UFO to the distinction of aliens versus undocumented aliens and illegal aliens... it is hilarious.

Whaaat? Seriously?? okay, im going to have to find this shit! haha
Almost reminds me of the ridiculousness of movies like one called "Rubber" about a murderous tire traveling around killing people. I actually LOVE B-Movies and Cult films so Rubber was right up my alley! I own a ton of movies most people would not. I have the attack of the killer tomatoes movies, of course, most godzilla, a lot of very early lon chaney films, old horror, nosfaratu of course, oh Caligula from the 80s, Barbarella, Fantastic Planet (my favorite animation from the 70s), Logan's Run (i love retro sci-fi)... oh man... Plan 9 from Outer Space, Harold & Maude (one of my all time favorites), oh John Waters Pink Flamingos, But Im a Cheerleader, Slums of Beverly Hills, Eraser Head, Freaks, A Clockwork Orange, Reefer Madness (of course haha), Its Alive, The Man Who Fell to Earth (love bowie in that one) I loved Powder! I should just stop now. You get the picture. hahah
@Sadoi Caligula... first movie I saw Helen Mirren on. But where I really noticed her was in "White Nights". Sometimes the little movies are the movies. I am in John Watters backyard right now. Saw a one man show of him... He was funny, funny.
Technology provides a lot of entertainment. The human mind is limitless in its imaginative capability. Enjoy and explore. Believe or remain skeptical. I am, therefore I think. No I did not get that backwards. It is not a quote, just a thought.

I love that show. They cover a lot of true ancient history with some quackery, but you'd have to expect that when a show sometimes feature clergy from of a lot of religions. They also cover a lot of different locations I will never have the opportunity to visit, mostly since I don't want to subject myself to possible problems of travelling abroad, especially to those so-called shit-hole countries.

Mostly i enjoy watching it just to see how they are going to connect Everything, including the invention of White Bread to "aliens had a hand in it! ET was real and he bought lots of stock in wonderbread... then, boom! it took off the moment ET sliced it with his phone home finger! since then, sliced bread gio with his all knowing nod yup! you guessed it, Aliens!"
I have watched the show. I think Van Donnegan's work (or however you spell his name) is spot on. I think the most logical conclusion is that the Gods we were taught about were alien. If you read the bible, with a mind looking for it, you will find alien visitations. As an atheist I do not pretend to know, but I like to consider it.
