It's not that simple. Even the Nordic gods dating back to the bronze age, 1700-500 BC, has gotten the 'ancient alien' stamp on that show.I've always had an issue with Ancient Aliens, it always felt to mich like old colonialism. The same sort of mentality that preached that Great Zimbabwe could not have been constructed by the local people as it was to hard for tribes to build such a great city.
Egyptian pyramids are much less complicated than the Gothic cathedrals, or Roman temples or structures like the Parthenon or Colleseum.
The Inca and Maya post date the Romans.
But while it's rarely said that the Romans must have had alien assistance to build their great aquaducts, or Medieval Europeans to build their cathedrals, its frequently said these people, or the Egyptians, or the Indians, must have extra terrestrial assistance to say, drill a hole in stone.
I used to think it was a writing issue. Most of these cultures that get these claims have either little surviving writing, or little surviving writing about construction.
But there's a record showing the translation of Old World colonialsm to modern Ancient Alien claims.
Yeah, but that was in later seasons as they started running out of material. It isnt a common thing.It's not that simple. Even the Nordic gods dating back to the bronze age, 1700-500 BC, has gotten the 'ancient alien' stamp on that show.
The analysis also named both religiosity and lack of church attendance as associated factors, suggesting that people with a complicated relationship with religion—believers who have a lack of connection to their community of faith—are most open to paranormal claims. ...
That is in agreement with other psychology studies which shows just that.The analysis also named both religiosity and lack of church attendance as associated factors, suggesting that people with a complicated relationship with religion—believers who have a lack of connection to their community of faith—are most open to paranormal claims. ...

It's kind of interesting, but even a cursory check of one or two of the 'facts', rapidly spirals into 'no primary source can be found'. This kind of document does no-one any favours, honestly I consdier it wild speculation reversed onto a bunch of non-sequiturs.This is obviously highly speculative, but still worth a look:

Well those aren't ancient Egyptian, for one. They come from the temple of Hathor at Dendera and the structure was built during the late Ptolemaic period, in the first century when Egypt was under Greek control."No wiring"

There's plenty of evidence of chemical plating. But none for electroplating. That's just a straight fabrication.nd the evidence that the ancients used them to electroplate some of the artifacts stored in museums around the world is likewise common knowledge.

Mainstream archeology has been studying the site now since it was discovered- in fact mainstream archeology discovered it.I will be interested to see what mainstream archeology makes of Gobekli Tepe in Turkey - a 12,000 - 15,000 year old city that seems to be a star map in its layout.
History tells us cities like this did not exist 12,000 years ago - so history must be wrong.

Like I have said here before, I am open-minded on fortean stuff, but I have also been skeptical of Ancient Aliens Theories (AAT) for a long time. If anyone cares to go to the forum of another website, there, I have been one of the more hard-headed members and refused to accept very many claims without solid evidence backing them up. That particular forum is no longer very active, I notice.Review of Ancient Aliens S12E01 "The Alien Hunters"
4/28/2017
Welcome to the twelfth (!) season of Ancient Aliens, which at this point is less a TV show and more of a thought experiment in how a TV production crew of cockroaches might survive a nuclear holocaust that destroyed all facts, evidence, and reason. There isn’t much to say about this episode, “The Alien Hunters,” by way of preface, as it is as much as possible just more of the same. This episode hews away from the show’s title adjective in favor of its recent devolution into freshman dorm room bullshitting about anything vaguely related to space aliens.
Segment 1
The first segment discusses plans by scientists to survey the cosmos for signs of civilizations around other stars. Scientists have long believed it likely that life exists in other star systems, but that implies absolutely nothing about whether beings from those worlds came here, the claim that is the bread and butter of Ancient Aliens. Without any real connection to this opening, the show rehearses the early history of UFOs, starting in 1947 with Kenneth Arnold’s sighting, and from their they moved into other government investigations of flying saucers. While the show claims to rely on government documents to show that the government was involved in investigating Arnold’s sightings, but they tactfully refuse to acknowledge the results of the FBI’s investigation, namely that the flying saucer phenomenon was the result of mass hysteria born of science fiction publisher Ray Palmer’s efforts to link lights in the sky to Richard Shaver’s underground and spacefaring civilization. Those details I collected and published.
The show devotes a large amount of time to Air Force investigations and suggests a conspiracy and a coverup, but they omit the rather clear evidence that the FBI recorded that the Air Force encouraged the UFO mystery in order to obscure tests of secret aircraft and possibly Soviet spy missions. This explanation, which is the only plausible reading of the FBI’s files, neatly explains the entire “conspiracy” that Ancient Aliens suggests is located in the heart of the Air Force, but it goes unmentioned. ...

Chapman University Survey Finds Astonishing Levels of Belief in Ancient Astronauts and Atlantis
10/17/2016
Last October I wrote about a depressing survey from Chapman University which found that 1 in 5 Americans—20.3%--professed to believe in ancient astronauts. A couple of regular readers let me know that this year Chapman University repeated the survey, and the results were even worse. According to the annual survey’s new results, fully 1 in 4 Americans, an astonishing 27%, believe that aliens visited the Earth in the past. Even more disturbing, 39.6%--more than one in three—believe that Atlantis or another advanced prehistoric lost civilization once existed. (The survey did not ask about Atlantis last year.) Similarly, 42.6% of respondents believe that the U.S. government is covering up knowledge of alien encounters, and a full third think that elites are plotting a single world government.
The more detailed full results show that only 29% of respondents disagree that Atlantis existed, while a more robust 40.7% disagree that aliens visited the Earth in the past. In both cases, about one third of all respondents couldn’t decide whether Atlantis or ancient astronauts existed.
According to the analysis accompanying the survey, two factors that are most closely associated with holding beliefs in paranormal phenomena like ancient astronauts or lost civilizations are low education and low income. The analysis also named both religiosity and lack of church attendance as associated factors, suggesting that people with a complicated relationship with religion—believers who have a lack of connection to their community of faith—are most open to paranormal claims. ...
