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.

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

Can you elaborate? I googled it and all I could find was in he was arrested 1968.

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.

I find the aliens theory so hard to believe simply because they cleaned up after themselves a little too well. We can find dinosaur bones but cant find any hard evidence of this alien technology? The show, while very entertaining, also discredits any type of human ingenuity or imagination. I can't wait for season four to start claiming Shakespeare, Dickens, and Hemmingway were either aliens or in contact with them.

I always chuckle when the claim is made that "even with our modern technology, this architectural feat is impossible today ".

Future civilizations might say the same about some of our structures and engineering accomplishments.

Even if an alien civilization is a few thousand years more advanced than ours they probably could move about without being noticed with ease.

It's such a strange connection though, to take the unexplained and just figure it was aliens, based on the fact you cannot disprove it. There are millions of explanations we could attach to the causes of the unknown.

We're too hung up on the idea that modern times are technologically more ahead than ancient times. Perhaps the Egyptians discovered a mechanism that's now forgotten that allowed them to build the pyramids, for example.

You misinterpreted my post. I meant we have some pretty spectacular engineering achievements that future societies could easily exaggerate and say the same thing about.

Ancient projects like the Great Pyramids are amazing, but we would make short work of those with modern technology.
