The Idiocy of the Ancient Alien Theory | |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 6617980 United States 07/27/2013 02:26 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | The Ancient Aliens series is fun to watch, as it brings to light many mysteries of our ancient past. Unfortunately, it also tries to postulate answers from just one side of the coin. Every once in awhile, Erich Von Daniken will briefly speculate the possibility of celestial beings being of God and sometimes uses the word "spiritual", but quickly goes back to physical alien beings with only advanced knowledge of technology. The term "spiritual" is left empty and up to your own vague interpretation. Tsoukalos would rather you believe that there is no God, no angels and nothing that you could consider spiritual in the highest sense - Only the possibility that some aliens might not have recognizably physical bodies. And while his terminology is somewhat vague and murky and really could be taken in either direction, he leads the viewer in the direction of atheism - or agnosticism at best...ever planting the seeds of doubt in peoples minds. |

Don't get me wrong I enjoy the show as much as most people here, I've watched a few seasons and found it highly entertaining, but it makes me mad that they don't bother tell us how they've reached such conclusions what evidence and I mean real evidence led them to think of it as true. Overall the show seems to be what most shows are: a little bit of truth, lots of fiction and little science just enough to make it sell. Noblesse Oblige |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 42392596 How about you bring forward this implied alien tech so we can pick it apart. The show is pure sensationalism and operates under all assumptions and leaps of logic. IE "I don't understand how this could be therefore aliens" That is EXACTLY what George says Well, the pyramids for one. The stones where rolled on logs that don't grow there, so where did they come from? Did they import logs from Europe? Tiwanaku is next. Extreme precision, extremely old and built in an altitude that cant support any slave labor. The 1000+ ton stones in Baalbek that where used like it was nothing.. just part of the floor, no significans.. just there.. There was lots of trade from far reaches done by the Egyptians which AA discounts completely out of hand. The Nile was a trade route. And they also made the assumption that logs were used.....they were not needed But why are there pyramids all over the world? And why is the concept of "gods" so prevalent in ancient times? Pyramids were the only building style that could be built that tall with the engineering understanding of that day. Think about it......it doesn't take much engineering to stack up a big pile of slabs to get impressive height |

Quoting: Luke CosmicWalker Why? Sorry but do some research before posting. Alien comes from the latin word alienus and means unfamiliar, strange. Who would not find an angel type being strange or alienlike. Alien doesnt mean he comes from another world it also could be something totally different like timetravel or another dimension/univers or whatever. just something unfamiliar to us^^ You left out being from a different place on the planet. Aliens meant people that were not familiar in looks or customs and there is no need for them to be from another planet |

What I do agree with is the guy in one of the previous posts. If mankind is the most intelligent being in the universe. Then the universe is pretty fucked up. |
