Here are the facts: Aliens and UFO's have been in ancient art and scripture throughout the world, and many stone structures have perfectly geometrical shapes and edges.

But here's where it gets crazy: These structures have massive weight, weight that many humans combined cannot lift.

But that's not all. Ancient aliens does a very good job at establishing their point, however people aren't opening their minds.

If I was an alien, I wouldn't Earth. I'm sure we're fun to watch.

Nahman Jayden, Eff bee eye. I herd that you're the origammy killah...

Especially the pyramids. I don't think slaves can lift all that, even if they all lift.

Ancient Aliens basically describes humanity as being idiots and making aliens seem super powerful and intelligent.

Don't litter, or God will rip your face off and feed it to a goat.

OP is aliens

The acceptance of defeat is an invitation for its repetition.

I'm not saying it was aliens, but aliens.

That show doesn't exactly make it easy. They had enough interesting info there for like 5 episodes. The first 3 or so episodes were good all the way through. The rest was spread thin as hell.

But I realize you don't just mean the show of course; I simply mean that show isn't good press for the theory.

I'm pretty sure a space faring civilization is intelligent. Also, they're not saying we're dumb, we just had assistance.

My Mythology professor once went on a lengthy rant about how ridiculous Ancient Aliens is.

People are horribly underestimated, especially back when things like stonehenge were built. Humans were humans, same as now. The only hindrance was technology, but their abilities to think outside the box make up for it.

Well, things like the Belgian Wave thousands of confirmed sightings all matching each other. I think a country, possibly the US has developed such advanced technology but must keep it a secret?

They employ all the classic logical fallacies in place of evidence, and rely on superstition and mythology to make their "factual" case. They use a lack of evidence to the contrary as proof of their own argument.

Extraordinary claims require extraordinary proof. They fail that test in every regard. Psuedo-scientific babble on par with the Young Earthers.

So think outside the box. How did they do it?

Young Earthers are stupid? Remember the piltdown man? A simple test would've proved it a fake, but nooooooo. You just had to keep it for 40 years and avoid all testing.

They do have evidence. They have recordings, physical explanations, the structures themselves that they even analyze, the literature of ancient civilizations, etc. All you did was use conjecture to make it seem like anything you said was valid when it's not.

Humans are smart, you know. A little bit of elbow grease, and nothing is impossible.

That somehow makes the Earth less than 10,000 years old? Perfect example of basing arguments in logical fallacy.
