Fascinating to study in depth. I don't know about the tv show, I've only seen a few episodes. But at times the build onto the works of Zechariah Sitchin and I've followed him since he was first sent to decipher the dead sea scrolls and translate Sumerian clay tablets, hieroglyphs and cuneiform writtings from Mesopotamia.

Read my Bio text. I've read the Earth Chronicles, 7 book set by Sitchin. 3 compannion books about it, Genesis Revisited, Divine Encounters (highly recommended!) And even the Lost Book of Enki, dictated to a Sumerian scribe by Enki himself. It makes a hell of a lot of sense out of a whole lot of otherwise mystical events, artifacts and even relatively recent discoveries in space.

(See my bio for a beginning. )

I find ancient alien stuff fun to read/watch but that's pretty much it. It's a story they take care to fit all the places of together in a neatly organised whole, like a story version of those 'strangely satisfying' videos.

i can't watch stuff like that. it makes me so sad that it exists, especially on a network that used to have some value to it. did it get bought by religionists or something? you used to be able to see actual historical documentaries there.

Fun series, but that's about it. Some possibly plausible theories, but mostly just a bunch of far fetched nonesense. Who would visit this backwater shithole of a planet located at the ass end of the universe anyway?

That's when the History Channel became history at my house.

Absolutely hate that ridiculous show. My SO likes it and thinks some of the “theories” are plausible. Ugh. If you watch closely, the real scientists interviewed only give background information (history, location, definitions, etc.). All the outrageous speculations put forward in the show are given by “authors”. It’s a bit of an insult to anthropologists and archaeologists (and other scientists) who have done actual scientific research. Are those “theories” possible? Sure, if you try to fit your ideas into the evidence.

I haven't seen it. Calling bullshit anyway. Because ancient aliens... bullshit! Common sense

Just count how many "qualifiers" are in every paragraph...words like might be, would be, could be, is it ... (possible) .maybe, perhaps, etc etc etc...just babbling and babbling with useless conjecture. You have so much free time?

Interesting but it is always reaching. I studied this sort of things for over 20 years. It sounds good if you do not want to believe in a god. Ancient Aliens will take you in a circle just like UFO study will. You finally find yourself back at the point that you got into it at. Interesting but I have no evidence of aliens the same as I have no evidence of gods.

It amazes me what gullible people will believe.

I haven't seen it. If it's about the Anunnaki, I find that fascinating. Especially how they often link it closely to the ancient civilisation in Sumer. But maybe Graham Hancock is correct about ancient civilisation being much older than is generally accepted. If so, that would give humanity much more time to learn the skills we were told were given to them in a relatively short period of time by the 'men of fame'.

I've seen every episode and have all the past seasons on DVD. I've been trying to travel to most places they talk about and see things first hand. I also have pretty much every book by every author who has been on the show. Yeah....I'm a fan
It's nice to envision.... (but some of their theories fall apart under closer examination)

The truth is out there.

I've never seen it, but given the chance I would watch it. I imagine it's every bit as hilarious as Von Daniken.
