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.

You should read A.D. After Disclosure and Source Field Investigations.

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

Erich von Danniken has been exposed as a fraud. 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.

He didn't say it was his bible. He said he has been interested in it since he read the book.

Yea some of it is crazy. Its mainly for entertainment rather than facts. Personally I like Coast to Coast radio.

It would be difficult for any rational person to buy into every detail of everything Erich von Danniken has put in his books. 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.
