Ancient Aliens

Part 1 (How do I embed on fakku?):

Ancient Aliens is a show on history channel proposing that most religions originate from man's interpretation of extraterrestrials, and they do this by attempting to compare the past with modern society for an explanation of major events in history and religion.

Although I personally believe much can be debunked (And I am not a believer of extraterrestrials with pseudoscience-advanced technology), I have to say I love this show!

I mean, this show really gets you thinking. An alternative view of religion and the world!

It makes you think about history and man, and that is why whether you agree with it or not, I have to recommend people to watch this!

What do you think? Blasphemy, or quite a fascinating idea?

I have a few thousand page timeline which details the technological and mathematical advancements of mankind, starting with the simplest tools. When you can see the advancements in their order, the subjects that they discuss become clear that it's perfectly reasonable that it was done by man, and the methods become clear as well and they're not super highly unimaginably technical either.

Their claims are incredibly far fetched, such that, "It sounds complicated so aliens had to have done it!!"

I've completely given up on that channel. it's either bible shit, alien shit, or this combo of both. what ever happened to the regular old recorded history stuff? was it too boring? i'm sick of all this unsupported speculation crap. especialy since some of them seem to try and present it as fact.

Aliens? Whoooo another great topic here.

Well many humans believe our civilizations are built based upon the knowledge from aliens in the past.
Giving us great access of knowledge and evolving our minds far greater than anything on planet earth.

Alien theorists believed that religions around the world are sourced from people having contact with aliens in the past and leaving "special evidence" behind.

Though many religious leaders object that this is true, it is becoming a question more important than most questions around the world.

For example based on the story of Islam prophet Mohamed (s.a.s):
Mohamed needed to travel from place to place so the angel Gabriel called upon the "Master of Thunder" ( A beast type deity with a human face and wings of course)..
When the "Master of thunder or Lightning came he asked .. " For what have you called me here on this earth... I have "Traveled" very far just to come here....

This is also a big question... he traveled far.
By traveling meaning does this deity live in our universe?
Really a hard question to answer since it is written he "Traveled".

But then again there are no solid evidence to prove this except making a theory on how humans can evolve to such an extent that some believe is impossible to achieve alone...
but that will remain a mystery... who knows.....

Agreed with Stenta. The thing that bugs me about these kinds of documentaries is that it's basically showing me how little credit humans give themselves. We're a helluva lot more advance now than we were then, but we were still pretty fucking smart back then. I do believe that it's possible that aliens came and helped us out, but they have so many instances that they believe were times they came. Advanced race or not, why would aliens put so much effort to travel to our dinky planet multiple times just to give us a little tehcno-tap. And by little, I mean extremely small. These are beings that go galaxy to galaxy all the time, apparently. Cutting through marble and "inventing" and reinventing airplanes is probably just a unbelievably small fraction of what they could've done for us.

I watched a little bit of the clip of that show and already could tell it was full of crock.

LMFAO. the latest southpark. pilggrims and indians are aliens.

It's definitely a better theory than creationism though! :P

You know, I stopped watching that channel for this exact reason. I used to enjoy it a lot in the past, it was a great channel to watch.

But now.... I'm done with it.

It's funny because I was in the bath about 4 nights ago, and my mind began to wander. After about 20 minutes, I began wondring where the origin of religion came from. Aliens came to mind but then I thought it sounded a bit farfetched.

Watched the video. Load of BS.

Well the problem is that most people can't multiply 19x5(random example) without a calculator so going by that logic it is certainly impossible for men to have done the things they did, in fact following it to the logical conclusion it is impossible for men to have survived this long by themselves so necessarily either there are ancient aliens or a God helping humanity.

See so easy to build pretty much any conclusion you want as long as you get past a single stupid point...

Well they do bring up some interesting theories and bedate material, most of the show is garabge now.

The show does not belong on the History Channel. No, that's not it. The History Channel should not degrade itself more than it has already done by airing a show like this. Ancient Aliens is but another show that removes from the integrity that the channel once had.

I have no qualms with the History Channel presenting multiple sides to a controversial topic in history. I have no complaints about even mentioning smaller held opinions on historical events, even the occasional conspiracy shows were fine. But to give spotlight to a show that denounces the principle of using evidence, in fact only using a lack of evidence as there defense for aliens meddling in human civilizations, goes against the principles of studying history.

I disatree, they don't use evidence or lack of evidence. They deliberately ignore anything that can possibly go against what they say...

Also History Channel is somewhat amusing, it's focus always was people who didn't knew anything and were interested. WW2 shows for example kept showing things that anyone that knew the littlest bit about it would know.

I find topics like this very amusing...

it is fun to watch and helps expand our fantasy....

but unless they can show solid proof it is just fantasy and not the reality.

Personally I do believe that humans at some point in time were purposly modified, in a genetical manner - for the sake of something yet unkown. I simply refuse to believe that we are the result of some evolutionary mishap. Call me stupid, but that belief will never cease.

Try "History International" or H2 as it's known now. They have all the cool shows that actually talk about history - Ancient Discoveries, Engineering and Empire, ect.

O.T.
I think their may be moments in history that we still don't know about where mankind has actually taken steps backward in technology. The "Dark Ages" are an example of one that we do know but my point is I think we tend to not give ourselves enough credit with our capabilities when their seems to be no proof. The truth may be that proof of these technologies was simply forgotten to time or destroyed by an invading army. I do watch this show oddly enough as well but I'm not really a believer in it.

The military history channel is good too and it has limited commercials.

the problem is in the way they present it.


with the declining over all intelegence of the general public*, it's easy for the idiot masses to mistake suposition for fact. especially when they parade out a bunch of "experts" who spew their nonsense in such a way that it appears somewhat plausable.



i do watch H2, and it's only slightly better in that it doesn't have those crap "reality" shows. can't watch the military channel because i don't have the one big cable box on the account. i just have one of the little crap limited boxes in my house.

[size=10]*seriously, i've talked to four year university graduates that were dumb as dirt. i remember a little between show filler bit that asked MIT graduates(still in cap and gown) if they could light a bulb with just a battery and a length of wire. they kept saying it couldn't be done. the entire american education system is in the toilet. but i supose if it wasn't like that, the republicans probably would never get elected.[/h]

Mythbusters is better than that fake alien shiz.
