| Ancient Aliens Anybody watch this show? I like it. Some damn interesting stuff on there. Some of it is over the top, of course, but some of it is hard to argue with. |

| Yes one of my favorites. I have always been interested in this subject. Sense I read Charitots of the Gods in high school. I have pretty much over the years, read and watched everything out there. |

But I think the show is great. Some of the theories are way out but also some fascinating ones. |

He is the last place you should go for speculation regarding ancient aliens.

| Love that show. It's one of the few shows I miss since cutting cable. I find it hilarious how any feat of human ingenuity is explained by ancient aliens. Religion? Aliens. Human Evolution? Aliens. Natzi Germany? Aliens. |

However, it seems to me to be virtually impossible to disprove the general theory that aliens could have played a role in the birth of civilization on earth, or other aspects of our ancient past. What makes the concept and the show interesting, at least to me, are the vast number of things in antiquity that are so difficult to explain. Some of the non-alien explanations I've heard for some of those things are more difficult to believe than aliens.
