Hello there,
Anyone else ever watch the show "Ancient Aliens" ?
The claims are actually totally nuts some times. The only good thing is that they present some real data sometimes and it is interesting. It is unfortunate though that once that is done, they claim that Ancient Aliens are responsible for just about everything that ever happened in the past such as the building of the pyramids and old Mayan temple constructions.
They start out with some real facts, then relate it to what "might" be caused by ancient aliens, then how ancient aliens "might" exist because of that, then quickly progress to "THEY" did this and "THEY" did that, as if it is all of a sudden proven fact.
Now dont get me wrong, i cant say that everything they say is wrong, but they never produce any evidence for what they often claim, that it is a known fact that aliens did all of that stuff in the past. That i think is their real downfall. It airs on the History Channel, which i should say quote unquote (in air quotes) "The History Channel".
All they have to do is stick to the truth and known facts that can be proven and the show would be totally great. They just have to stop diverging into claims that any of it DEFINITELY happened the way they say it did. Yes it can be a conjecture, no doubt, but i dont think there is cause to call anyone an "Ancient Alien Theorist".
They are making more claims as time goes on and they are getting more and more ridiculous, and we all know what happens then. Eventually they start making such stupid claims that they start to get very easy to disprove.
The claims usually start with how ancient aliens helped past civilizations build everything using powers of levitation and you name it, and this is because they had "advanced knowledge and technology" that the early civilizations could not have had. Unfortunatly that opens up the door to ideas that can be disproved. All we have to do is show that something they said was true due to ancient aliens in the past turned out to be proven false in the years after that.
Even more striking, if they claim that something was true in the past because of ancient aliens and then they say that it is not true later in time because of ancient aliens, then they actually contradict themselves. They do this because on an earlier show they might say something is true because it was known by the aliens, then later the same thing that was true is now not true because of more advance knowledge of the aliens (a real theory of the universe was advanced by another real scientist) then we see some truth in the past being upgraded by the very same entity that was supposed to have had the advanced knowledge all along. I dont think they can have it both ways. If the aliens were so advanced then they would have gotten it right the first time around.
But see what you think and if you have ever watch this show. As i said though, often they do show just plain facts about things in the world which can be interesting. It just gets sickening when they start to make unprovable claims.
I also have to admit it is quite amusing to see what they have to say, even if very far out into the left field of science.
Apparently they dug into some subjects now which some people just cant stand anymore:
