This show makes your brain bleed


Don't get me wrong, I do love the idea of Ancient Astronauts visiting Earth, influencing and maybe even genetically engineering humans.

But 95% of what is said or claimed on this show is so blatantly dumb that it's a real physical pain to watch. This show is almost like a farce designed to discredit the theory it proposes.

I'm only watching anymore because they do show some interesting places from time to time, even if what they say about it is in most cases taken from pure air.

To sum up the kind of arguments they give would look something like this:

"There we have a round stone - therefore aliens!"

"Here we have a hole in a rock - it clearly is a inter-dimensional portal!"

"This rock is big - the only explanation is it was levitated here!"

" *connects 3 random stones from a collection of 200 stones on a map* - It's a right-sided triangle! Therefore Pythagoras got his theorem from aliens!"

There are some really interesting mysteries there, such as the cave paintings of a guy in a space suit, that genuinely need explanation, and it does make sense that the Nazca lines were made by the locals as a followup to a visit, because we have a recent example of such thing happening with the cargo cults, where tribesmen were creating fake airplanes after the visit of soldiers in 2nd World War. But it's a big maybe and we really don't need to add crazy details from pure air.

Instead of inventing crazy theories the show should focus on finding real explanations for how some of the things were made or moved or designed.

Ps. Is it possible that this post was written with the help of extra-terrestials? There are some who say - yes!

This is a complete misrepresentation of the show. How dare you!? They never say "right-sided triangle", they say "Pythagorean", because if they said "right-sided triangle" it sounds way less impressive. If they call it a "Pythagorean" it makes it sound like you need to know the Pythagorean theorum in order to draw one... when of course you don't.

The show is nothing but a variation of von Daniken and his crap. "Could it be?" "It looks as if". But, the whole show just reeks of fresh manure.
