Seems like unproven hypothesis used to battle unproven hypothesis... Of course AA peoples sling around aliens mustve done it so much that it almost seems like the show is purposefully full of disinformation to distract people from the idea of pre-historic civilizations existing which probably gets more complicated... If people from other planets were here longer than us should they still be called aliens or is it then their planet? Just a goofy question in my head, not really trying to get at anything
gonna have to watch this video in sections
Right on. Here's where I'm coming from: extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. If there is clear evidence that the Egyptians could quarry the stone, transport the stone, and shape the stone with the tools they had; if there is any plausible theory as to how they could have constructed the pyramids on their own; then, the addition of the highly implausible variable of aliens into the equation - an idea for which there is no evidence, other than the fact that building pyramids is hard (which actually isn't evidence for aliens, just not evidence against, which is not the same thing.) is silly.
Further, after watching this video, it becomes pretty clear that at least the people on this particular television show are peddling flat out fabrications.
I am not against the idea of aliens visiting the Earth. I find the idea fascinating, and I am curious as to why we do not have concrete evidence of this, considering the size and age of the universe. However, the truth matters to me, and I am not going to believe everything that supports an idea that I want to believe, just because it's more fun, or more satisfying to my ego, or something like that. I wanted to believe the Ancient Aliens. After I caught an episode of Season 1, I went nuts, downloaded every episode and watched them one after another, marathon style. I even watched the awful second season, where they were talking about aliens teaching Samurais how to make swords (seriously?). But, after looking at the evidence they present, it's just not there.
