Just as the title states... Who watches ancient aliens?
My wife is all intrigued by it. I have caught several episodes. I like the the one talking about the "Grays" and how they have evidence of them in different parts of the world and times in history.
Makes you wonder......................
I've seen a few episodes. The crazy greek guy with the frizzy hair annoys me. I've found there's about 5 minutes of information in each episode that's thought provoking, and the rest is just whackjobs that are hurting the case of alien existence.
ME! Great show although sometimes a little farfetched. They make a great case at times and then really stretch at ohers.
I'm watching the current episode and they're comparing the types of stones we can move now a days (limited by weight) versus what some of the stones actually weigh for the great structures of the past. We still can't move the weight that they could move nor match their tolerances... Makes me wonder. We do have dynamite though... But dynamite doesn't really make hair tolerances.
Exactly. We can't explain it...Quote:

Hm... I guess the difference is these are giant structures that are there... We have no understanding of how it happened. They were here WAY before us...Quote:

I watch on Fridays. I have always enjoyed Erik Von Danniken. Georgio is humorous. He drinks too much coffee, uses too much hair gel and spends too much time in the tanning salon.
Rulers throughout history have forbidden writing by all but the noble or priestly classes. It's one way they maintained control.Quote:

The reason we know so much about the Egyptians, the Greeks and the Romans is because they loved to write stuff down.
That's true but the structures are on EVERY continent in the world. So unless we had a "single ruler" at one time this seems unlikely. Unless the aliens are the rulers [Coffee]Quote:

I watch a ton of crap but I'm kind of proud to say that Ancient Aliens isn't among them.
Are you referring to the nephelim (sp) theory? I say just about anything is possible, but why would they mysteriously leave after building all that stuff?Quote:

That's why they left. Deported...didn't wait for customs & immigration to clear 'em. Must have been Space Mexicans because we do build everything and then the white boys take all the credit. [ROFL3]Quote:

Just because we don't understand it, doesn't mean it was aliens. It means we've lost the technology, at least temporarily.
I don't find this to be possible at all. We would document everything from using sticks to obtain fire but wouldn't document technology that we can't obtain to this day? Where did it go? Where did the cultures go?Quote:

we pretty much know how they moved rocks these days. the egyptians with the pyramids, mayans with their temples and stone henge. all figured out. half of these civilizations had no writing, the other half were conquered and had their crap burned to ashes and in the case of the egyptians it is thought by some historians we lost 1000 years of knowledge in the burning the of library of alexandria.Quote:

The Symarians wrote everything down. They have one of the most in depth languages ever written. They had carvings of the solar system (correctly put I might add, including the moons), the land masses that we call continents (including the mountains under the northern ice cap which we didn't have a picture of till recently), and had slightly the same story as christians (other than their "god" announced that they were from a different place). Oh, and they lived 6000 years ago.Quote:

There are tons of facts out there that many people, ok, most people have no idea about that just have absolutely no other explanation other than to take the ancient peoples word for who gave them the information, "visitors". There are quite a few ancient cultures that have an almost identical story as the christians one, and that took place before that of the account of Jesus. The info is out there, it just needs to be looked up. Talking to most religious people about (what could be) aliens, is like talking to liberals about firearms I have found. No matter what you put in front of them, you're wrong. < Not directed at you Pancho.
We all come from "The Other Planet". Do you actually think we evolved from apes? Crawled out of the ocean and our fins became legs? Shortly after the Roswell incident, Congress passed the National Security Act of 1947, giving us the US Air Force & the CIA. The technology on "The Other Planet" makes us look like primitives. And yes their "cars" can go faster than the speed of light...
It was a bet to see if we would destroy ourselves or figure out how to get along as a species - I'm thinking the alien that bet on destruction is odds on favorite!Quote:

That dude looks like he's stoned out of his mind. Is he from Boulder?
Okay this should be interesting, tonight, 6:00 pm, right now on H2. "Ancient Aliens and our Founding fathers."
I haven't seen this one yet, but probably some of you have since it is a repeat from 2011. [Coffee]
I get a kick out of the show. I think some of the arguments are far fetched but there are also some interesting tidbits to be found. I suppose the big hair guy ( it's bigger this year, btw) would be more annoying if I did more than just listen to the show. My hobbies are too involved to actually watch the tv.
I find it amazing that I am the first person to post the meme pic.Quote:
