Titreenp SERIOUSLY. This is what the crap Hollywood still puts out?
Lumsdal Good , But It Is Overrated By Some
Supelice Dreadfully Boring
Doomtomylo a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.
qmtv First, all of the crap these idiots espouse is their opinion and belief, not science. Nothing more. Usually they begin with, Ancient Astronaut Theorist believe, ... If you watch the show as a joke that it is, with that understanding, then it's a comedy. And it should belong on the Comedy Channel. As alternative reality it would belong on the Sci-Fi Channel. What is it doing on the HISTORY CHANNEL? So, The History Channel is passing these Blind Faith fools as experts and their nonsense as facts. It's a lie. We know that the history is written by the victors, that it is not perfect, but this show just makes stuff up.Second, I am no expert in astronomy, but I have read enough generally accepted science to realize that even if a life forms on a planet, chances that intelligent life will evolve, and then to invent communication and interstellar travel to our planet is slim to none. What this show does is pick and choose what science to believe in to support their beliefs. Science does not work that way. One astronomy author regarded acceptable science as intellectually honest, and that pseudoscience, such as these Ancient Astronaut Theorist are not honest. Please consider the life on our planet and the billions and billions of factors that lead to human evolution and our technological development. If even one of those factors were changed or eliminated, we may not be here. For example, if primates never evolved, no humans. If primates evolved and became extinct due to natural catastrophe, no humans. If the earth was just a little bit cooler or warmer at a certain point in its history, no humans. If the continents drifted to different locations, no humans. No humans and we have no conversation.I hate to burst the bubble of all these alien/ufo fanatics. But here we go. Sure there are billions of stars in our galaxy. Sure there are billions of galaxies in the universe. Maybe there are billons of universes. Who the hell knows? So, why can't there be life, intelligent life, communication, or visitation? Well, consider these generally accepted scientific theories:The big bang theory that the universe is around 13 billion years old, and that our sun is around 5 billion years old and has another 5 billion years left. The early universe created stars did not have enough heavy elements to create planets, let alone life. Only after these stars supernova, and formed new 2nd or 3rd generation stars, like our sun did planets have heavy material to form life. So, our sun had the right ingredients, heavy metals. Next you have to eliminate stars in binary systems, systems with more than one star. The planets would be volatile. It took our planet nearly 5 billion years to create intelligent life. Shorter life cycle stars can be eliminated for life. Larger stars will burn out quick and burn their planets. Smaller stars will not provide enough energy. The only example we have of life is our sun. So, as far as we know, a system would have to have to duplicate what our sun has done. If you have such a star, then you must look at the life zone of such a planet. Venus is too close, too hot. Mars is too cold and dry. Earth, so far is perfect. Also, take a look at the outer planets, Jupiter and Saturn. I'm no expert, but do these planets help stabilize the Earth's position in relation to the Sun? So, tons of factors brought us all here to even have this discussion. Imagine if plants did not evolve to give oxygen, no humans. All these elements had to be mixed in at the right time at the right proportions to bring us to this point on earth. These same factors must be duplicated on other planets to form life, intelligent life, technological development enough for interstellar communication, let alone travel to bring us face to face with aliens. Most alien/ufo believers do not consider what I have outlined above. They say look at all the billions and billions of stars. I say you're picking your facts for a pre disposed outcome. Most of those stars are already dark and dead. The distance between the stars are so vast. This isn't sci-fi. Ships don't travel at the speed of light or faster. You can't transport people from here to there with a transporter. Time travel does not exist. Time is a unit of measurement. Like a ruler. Or weight. Can you go back in time? No. Can you go back in ruler?So, History Channel, shame on you for this garbage. You've got some great shows, but this is not one of them.
justinbieberman I find the history of ancient civilizations very fascinating and enjoy seeing the different locations around the world.They have some physicists on that do a pretty good job (IMO) of explaining a subject with some facts, which are then taken way off the reservation into crazytown by a few to credit the aliens with the accomplishment.Overall the show is put together and flows well. If your looking to see locations around the world, learn a few things and lol at some of the outlandish theory's this show may be for you.
hoyle63 Mainstream science has been trying for decades to suppress any findings that do not fit the modern narrative and what is being taught in universities. I point you to the "Indian Mounds" of the MS and OH River Valleys. The Native Americans of the area never made claim to these sites and stated they were already there. Their tribes were nomadic and cremation was their preferred method of burial instead of interment underground. Yet for years history books insist these belonged to them. In the 1800s people excavated into these mounds seeking gold and riches and indeed found bones. Bones of red haired people who were incredibly tall and with skulls much larger than man. The Smithsonian came and boxed these remains and carted them off, but they never made it to any museum. They even denied their existence until a lawsuit later forced them to cough up memos from administration officials instructing them to suppress the stories. Even though old photos still exist and newspaper articles they still deny the existence of these bones.When it comes to super ancient archaeology and artifacts that we cannot explain we can only presume what they are and their use. Ancient Aliens uses context and documents from other sources to make an educated guess on par with the capabilities of modern science. And so called men of science to have to resort to profanity and saying that AA is bunk without one shred of supporting evidence only weakens their position and lends more credence to AA theories being more valid.I enjoy the series and always look forward to more seasons!
kurtbrian14 If you're truly secure regarding your intellect, there's nothing in this series that will spark dramatic mood swings. Just tell yourself...it's only opinion, and free speech won't make me melt.So how are 250 ton stones, carved to perfection, transported horizontally, lift to heights vertically and perfectly positioned? A community college professor in Wyoming carved a 15 ton stone, and he couldn't move it with logs, rocks or sand.Humans pulling ropes couldn't move massive tonnage.And the complexity of carved stones and perfect dimensions or fitting is shocking.Then all the pictures, art and writing that suggests that people long ago witnessed aliens and their crafts is interesting. Ancient Alien Theory is simply opinions that you file away in the back of your mind while you wait for more convincing evidence.
