Sir, if you have intelligence on these beings, I suggest you tell me now.


Sorry but that's classified.


I am the top-level adviser to the President, I have access to practically unlimited resources and I am head of the Extraterrestrial Life Study and Liaison Group. The term "Classified" is irrelevant.

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.

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

We probably were idiots back then. You get smarter as you go along, and, we're pretty idiotic now so.

The highest reward for a man's toil is not what he gets for it but what he becomes by it.

“You don't have to be a "person of influence" to be influential. In fact, the most influential people in my life are probably not even aware of the things they've taught me.”- Scott Adams

"Before God we are all equally wise - and equally foolish."
-Albert Einstein

Because the host's hair makes him look like an insane Cockatoo. And therefore I cannot take anything he says seriously.

I hate that show with a passion, it went from plausible ideas to extraordinarily insane baseless ramblings. Here are some answers as for how people did things.

- People can't lift some heavy stone? They use levers/pulleys or some other simple machine. You don't need god-tier technology to lift a rock.
Some of the stones are100,000+ tons. Not even current day engineers coupd find a feasible way to lift it let alone people from 10,000 plus years ago.

-bow chicka brown cow-

Dragons appear in cultures throughout the world, does that mean they are real? (I hope so anyways)

OP, while I think it is rather interesting and maybe even suspicious that a lot of ancient societies had strange beings visiting them, I have to note that there are plenty of ways to move stones larger than yourself.

Here's one technique that a guy in the UK has shown to work.

And note, that's 1 man, in not a particularly great physical shape, standing up a 9 tonne stone slab.

100,000+ tons? What are we lifting, Mt Rushmore?

The largest stones used in any pyramid were only in excess of 400 tons - yes it's a crapload, but they weren't common, nor were they handled by a couple of guys.

I like the facts presented, but hate the "experts" and their dramatization of everything little nuance.

They don't have any evidence. The same goes for loligion of course.


Although, it is still more likely than the alternative mentioned in old dusty books.
