As an Egyptian mythology nerd, what I find so particularly funny about the god Osiris being a "build-it-yourself" robot is that it ignores one damning detail: Osiris, like any normal living being; had _genitalia._ Adding to this, it was the only body part that wasn't reassambled since it was swallowed by a fish, thus his wife had to create a new one in order to conceive their son Horus.
I dunno, makes sense to me. That's where they store the cpu that manages making new robots, lol! Can't put that process in the brain, just have to shove it in a big external detachable robot-dick!
Maybe the story was created to explain why he DIDN'T appear to have a penis. 🤣I don't believe that - I think it was a synthetic myth - but could it be possible? Ancient astronaut theorists say YES!
So, fun fact, the ancient greek did have "robots". They were more like complicated puppets that move with steam. Heron of Alexandria is sometimes credited as writing the first book on robotics in the 2nd century A.D. Humans are able to do cool stuff, a concept that ancient aliens seems to have a hard time grasping.
Hahahaha yeah well said. Humans unfortunately sometimes don't realize, or just never existed in the circumstances to learn that this species has one hell of a story on the planet.
Yes, I had read somewhere (reasonably reputable!) about demonstrations of small steam engine prototypes at Alexander's Court, but beyond making amusing toys, the technology wasn't taken very seriously at the time.
I believe they meant the "automatons" mentioned in mythos sorrounding Hephaestus. He was supposed to have a whole bunch of them made of and capable of creating minerals of different properties, like bronze, silver, gold and tin. It was basically his workforce working tirelessly so that the Divine Smith could create special macguffin for gods and heroes.
Watch Dave McKeegan's channel for a bit . . . you'll meet Rusty, (dave's dog) who, as Dave says, lets Dave sit in Rusty's chair. There is, of course, a price for this privilege: pats and scratches whenever Rusty demands affection from his pet human. If you haven't seen Dave before, he's a professional photographer who typically uses his knowledge of optics, lighting and such to blow flat Earthers and Moon landing deniers out of the water. He's good at that! By the way, this is the first time my wife and I have come across one of Gabi's videos. We'll definitely have to watch some more. But, in the meantime, can anyone tell me the dog's name?
Bro. If the aliens killed the dinosaurs? They ain’t no friend of mine. Just imagine in an alternative timeline I could rummage through some trees looking for fruits and nuts, while watching a badass theropod doing its thing. Instead I have to do taxes.
@@webwolf404 I don’t know man. I rather have 5 good squirrel-monkey years. I feel like this whole higher consciousness/self awareness thing isn’t as good as people make it out to be.
@@gtijason7853 I'm pretty sure if you just start introducing yourself as an AAT in certain Facebook groups you'll have the credentials to even appear on Ancient Aliens. You'll certainly be as qualified as the loons that appear there regularly.
Fam this is my mom's show and she's always baked watching it too 💀 but now she just watched neil degrasse podcasts stuff so I think she's a lot more grounded now
I couldn't binge-watch Ancient Aliens without risking a fatal brain fail. I saw one where, in South America, there was a rectangular carving in a stone. I remember Giorgio Tsoukalos saying, "It's obviously a door. But a door that goes nowhere? That's ridiculous. It has to be an extatestrial (his pronunciation) intergalactic star gate."
17:50 I'd like to add to your rebuttal of the "human slow, computer fast" argument. In one of my programming classes our professor gave us a thought experiment: "What does a robot need to know to navigate a room, and how would you program one to do so?" As a human, if you come to a room you have never been to before and step inside, there are some things you know pretty much almost immediately: What are the rough dimensions, what stuff can move, what stuff can't move, what stuff shouldn't move, what stuff blocks your path, what stuff can be removed from your path, and what stuff is important to the room. Even with modern deep-learning algorithms, a computer has to spend a lot of time putting everything in the room into useful categories. However, a human does this between one blink and the next. You may not know what each and every object in a room is, but you can quickly tell that it isn't a very oddly-shaped thing, its a desk with a monitor and a stack of papers on it. The desk would be the most difficult to move, but the papers on top of it might fall if you walk too close. You, as a human, do not have to consciously evaluate each shape to determine what sort of object each thing in the room is -- you simply know immediately. Because of the procedural nature of computers, the algorithm to evaluate a room would likely be exponential, but even if it were logarithmic a room with any complexity would take a lot of computing power to evaluate quickly. Are computers fast? Sure, but humans are still far faster when understanding and navigating the world around us.
Yeah, there's a reason humans (and other animals) are way more capable at most real-world tasks than computers and purpose-built machines. There's a lot more to it than just fast calculations! Our brains are "slow" but they're incredibly complex systems, that have evolved over millions of years through a planetary-scale learning process to be very good at understanding things (even completely unfamiliar stuff) and producing useful results very quickly
I think part of it though is that when we're a baby we learn physics. Newborns have reflexes and senses, which certainly help but they also have to stay and learn how things work. Someone i know saw a toddler try to fill a basket with water. Babies don't have the best understanding of physics either
@@orbismworldbuilding8428 you're right about that I think, the original comment is not a perfect metaphor. The human brain already has the answers stored in it's memory - a computer could do a similar thing.
@Robothuck i think so too, and for computers lacking reflexes to guide its learning process, there's already some robotics in development that has reflex-oriented approaches to smooth out actions like grabbing an object. There's also some really old robotics built almost entirely on the principle of reflexes or simple motor loops, which while it was simple and not very controllable (it didn't involve any computers, just electronic components that acted vaguely like neurons), you could implement reflexive "nervous systems" into computerized robots and implement those together. And those reflexes and sensors would probably help it learn to navigate the real world a lot better. Sensors is another thing, our body has countless even for things you might not think of, while most robots only have a few. Its harder to learn meaningful things about the physical world when you have fewer sensors. If a robot only senses with a camera, its like AI trying to make a video of Will Smith eating spaghetti, it doesn't know what any of that is or how it works, just sees the image changing when it moves somehow. It needs to have a sense of touch, know what its motors are doing, see, all of it as much as it can. In my opinion robots are bad at navigating the world because we only give them as many senses as a Ring doorbell It could be done differently, it just isn't because its expensive and hard to maintain
@@Robothuck the difference is humans have the ~capacity~ to learn very complex things, because evolution has given us brains that are "designed" to comprehend the real world, and let us learn and understand abstract concepts. Babies have a lot to learn but they're definitely not starting from scratch! Replicating that complexity and the information embedded in it is the hard part - we don't really understand everything about how brains work, and the machine learning models we do have are way more simplistic, and expensive to train and operate. And the bigger the scope of what they're supposed to be able to handle without just getting worse, the more resources they require - exponentially more. The scale of the evolutonary process that got our brains to where they are today really can't be overstated, there's no guarantee we'd be able to get anywhere close (and we sure as hell ain't right now!)
My favorite thing about Ancient Aliens, and maybe this doesn’t affect it much if you’re streaming it, is that the commercial breaks are strategically placed to basically make you lose their train of thought. Before the break, they set it up as if they’re about to come back with supporting evidence with the “theory” they just espoused, but really, they just come back from the break with a tangentially related topic.
This pissed me off as a kid so much because I was so willing to believe how grandiose it was, and it would be such brain numbing statements that I would remember it after all the ads🤣
i’m so happy to see someone else who became weirdly obsessed with this shitshow of a show. i found it on netflix a couple years back and was absolutely gobsmacked by the leaps and bounds these people’s mind’s make. the inflexions, the edits, the music, it’s all just so perfect
Does Ancient Aliens give anybody else a nostalgia hit? The amount of late nights in hotels on vacation where marathons of shows like this were the only things on all night...
I remember seeing it in a motel in Maine during our honeymoon. It actually led me to looking up a debunking video that's over 3 hours long and very well done and interesting.
Used to watch this one for hours with my son, now 21 and in college himself. Giorgio A. Tsoukalos and friends have provided us endless hours of entertainment and laughter. Great memories ❤
One of my favorite TH-camrs is MiniMinuteMan, a snarky archaeologist - or snarchaeologist, if you will - who loves to debunk Ancient Aliens, history-related conspiracy theories, and other archaeological myths. I feel like a collab between you two would be hype.
wait thats perfect cause that was my biggest issues with these videos is that she sees clip and says wow can you believe this then moves on. So having someone who actually debunks it sounds great
I hear you, and the hair *chef's kiss* but I really like it when Ancient Alien Theorists have a chance to answer a question from the narrator, and it doesn't matter how raining cows shredded and on fire the theory happens to be, the Ancient Alien Theorists? They say YES GODDAMN IT. They are the most positive bunch ever. I want them to be on my side.
I have a friend who genuinely thinks like this , she believes birds are drones and actively avoids them whenever she encounters one . Edit: she says birds that don't fly and chickens are real so we dont get suspicious but the ones that fly are fovernment drones
0:13 I've never watched Ancient Aliens. Yesterday I put on what I thought was a nice little documentary about underground tunnels in Germany and it was kind of cheap but still interesting. I started to suspect that something wasn't quite right about the vibe when instead of providing actual scientific research this guy suddenly came up with a story from india where they thought the gods or aliens used those tunnels as escape routes or something.
My favorite ancient aliens theory was in the Nazca lines one where they are like "look at these mountains, some advanced technology has CUT OFF THE TOP of the mountain, AND there's no rubble at the base of the mountain. Is it possible that ancient astronauts teleported the rocks away after cutting off the top of the mountain" and it's just like.....those are plateaus
Priceless! There is a disturbing lack of understanding or just how vast our galaxy (let alone the universe) is. These guys came all the way here to chop off the top of a mountain, to obtain common minerals? And they are the "higher intelligence"? 😅
That episode was a great ab workout, I laughed so hard. Harder when I discussed it with a mechanical engineer , we were both roaring and doing our best imitations of crazy hair guy - whom by the way was perfect in resident alien and should consider giving up ancient aliens and just do cameos in sci fi as "that guy" 😅 specially since they have just been rehashing stuff since season 13
And my favorite line in the show is: "Ancient Astronaut Theorists Say Yes!" Who are these Ancient Astronaut Theorists? Where do they source their knowledge? Are they recognized members of science? Why do they always say yes? Are there some Ancient Astronaut Theorists who say no, but they just don't get featured on the show? Does an Ancient Astronaut Theorist's title get revoked if they say no? Ancient Astronaut Theorists say Yes.
my favorite episode I ever came across is where they insinuate Tesla was a vampire. the line goes like: "Tesla, who was born not far from Transylvania..." and I lost it. why would you word it like that?
Out of curiosity I fact checked this and holy shit what are these guys smoking, the village of Smijan is about 12... Hours away by car from Transylvania, which in Europe is pretty far, He was closer to being born in Bavaria than he was Romania.
Those leaps in logic crack me up , cuz as we all know: All transylvanians are vampires, all egyptians are mummies, why? i dont know, so it must be aliens !
Imagine getting a time machine and moving forward a thousand years to catch this show talking about our modern pop culture. Anceint Aliens: Was Harry Potter Actually An Alien? And Possibly a Robot?
There is a satirical paper written in the 50s about the “Nacirema” (American spelled backwards) that does this precisely. It’s about how this supposed ancient culture performed morning cleansing rituals (brushing teeth etc.), and worshipped a box for hours.
I love how they see all these stories of Greek "robots" and go "Look! Robots! Aliens!", completely missing that the Greeks actually had automatons (which are *kinda* like robots), serving as toys, curiosities, and just in general fun spectacles and gadgets, and thats almost certainly where the ideas for all of the "robots" in their myths come from. Hephaestus's robot servants were almost certainly imagined as really, really impressive, human shaped automatons. Talos was almost certainly imagined as a particularly impressive automaton. The Greeks were aware of, and made these devices: its no shock that they had stories of imaginary ones that made the real ones look primitive. We have spaceships, we also have stories of imaginary spaceships that make ours look somewhat unimpressive. its hilarious. Did they just *miss* this? Are they deliberately not mentioning it? Ancient Aliens is truly a hilarious programme.
this was one of me and my dads favorite shows. i remember the ONLY time we ever heard the voiceover guy say "ancient alien theorists say NO" we had to pause and cheer it was insane. i dont remember what the theory was but wow even if theyre saying no its gotta be wild. good to see Georgios still at it haha
I just want to thank your dog for serving looks throughout this video. if I'm being honest, its 6 am and I've had insomnia for days, so I have no brain cells at the moment to comprehend the topic of this video, but I thoroughly enjoyed witnessing the majestic sight of your dog posing beautifully in the background. it was captivating
My cousin Mugalu loves this show. He is convinced he is a dinosaur-alien-robot human hybrid. He went into mental care last year and continues to watch this show everyday while he makes t rex noises. Amazing.
I love this show because they just make up random crap, and then they say “Ancient Alien experts say yes” 😂😂😂 it’s awesome. I want to live my life like that
All of these ideas are not new and made up. Even more than half of them are used by GRRM in Game of Thrones/ASIOAF, decades ago, for example the large statues on the isle of Rhodes that comes to life to protect the island. That's why in the book it's a foreshadowing of what will happen, when that large statue Arya crosses beneath on the ship while entering Bravos. These are all ideas known for ages, centuries, in many different civilizations.
I’ve watched Ancient Aliens for a few years myself. Near as I can tell, they started out with a logical idea of “what if” and ran off the edge of the galaxy with it. If there are aliens, and they’re watching us, they’re probably laughing their butts off.😂
The problem is they found themselves with a hit tv show then ran out of new material for the demand the show still has. Yeah I'm a fan of it too though.
20:46 "I wasn't folding my laundry during this like some of you" i've rarely been so called out by a TH-cam video before, but hit the nail on the head there
The idea of a self replicating robot is actually a valid theory in science. The problem is its presented as proof of aliens rather then just a fun theory.
That "are a dad/know a dad" shit is so real tho. Ancient aliens was a formative show for me and my dad to watch after I got home from school in like 5th grade. We would laugh so hard 🤣.
honestly this episode was one of the more tangible ones tho... if we've developed ai only a few thousand years into our development, who's to say some other species in the ever expanding universe hasn't as well? Gabi is an overly confident idiot in my opinion. We don't know shit about the universe, and we barely know about physics and overall cosmology as a whole, it's fine if you disagree with other life being out there, but to state is as fact is straight up regarded.
I literally laughed at the animation of the Osiris Robot reassembling itself so much that I cried 🤣 Really needed that today, thanks for critiquing this madness!
Like smoking cigarettes? Or like poisoning our air and drinking water? Endless wars? People going bankrupt and homeless over medical bills? Or you mean like getting the age of the moon wrong by tens of millions of years? Oops...
Right. It's like they believe we're capable of nothing without some form of divine intervention. We can't even make our own fairytalesm Everything has to be derived from aliens.
We talked about this in my anthropology classes, and how it ties into some Victorian ideas about African civilization. They used to think that Africans couldn't have possibly built advanced structures, agriculture, etc, so there must have been ancient white people who taught them. 😂
It's not we don't have faith in People, it's that people put too much faith into the government and academic institutions that they think everything they say is the truth. In reality there are not only many heavy inconsistencies, but Acadamia literally actively lies about it. Well, it isn't the 50s anymore and everyone's catching on. Catch up, folks.
Gabi calling silicon “silicone” was driving me insane😭😭 Silicone is the jelly plastic stuff, Silicon is an element on the periodic table. Sorry but I had to say it
@@KarmasAB123 I think the line of thinking is that silicon and carbon have the same valence number so they could *supposedly* support life?? But yeah you’re right, they both work in the sense that they’re equally nonsensical gibberish on Ancient Aliens lmao
I got thrown off when she couldn't get "conscious" and "conscience" in the correct context... but whatever, I get it, and her enthusiasm is infectious. :)
21:09 This is literally the Mass Effect lore about Reapers nudging future "building material" towards their own paths of development... they can't even invent original sci-fi story.
1:59 I came across a History Channel special about "The Psychology of Batman" and it had the same narrator as Ancient Aliens, so I was basically on the edge of my seat the entire time watching it, waiting for the guy to say this phrase.
Hahah this reminds me of how the narrator of the show in german (we have a german dubbed version) speaks a lot of different shows and also legitimate documentaries and I'm always waiting for the moment he's gonna drop the "could it be aliens?" "Ancient astronaut theorists say YES" 😂😂
My mother's current partner is a sucker for this show. He also likes weird TH-cam videos read out by robots talking about various conspiracies. It started off being quite quirky but I'm genuinely concerned he's pretty deep down the pipeline by now.
@@just_some_donkus I dunno, I've tried to appeal to his critical mind by telling him to do his own research, especially into the person making the claim. If they're selling a book, there's a good chance they stand to gain from making people buy into their nonsense. We also had quite a heated discussion a while back about the Paul McCartney replacement conspiracy, and he just shut down any line of questioning he got back about "Why go to all this length when they could have just as easily have made money selling memorabillia merchandise and hiring this new Paul who was clearly a great singer too"
That show definitely has pretty valid things, can't say for absolutely everything, but it's like conspiracies, not all conspiracies are true but that doesn't mean none are.
@@PowerfuLWarzone It doesn't. It's four or so experts all selling the same book with the same theories and citing each other as evidence. It's the NFT market, but for 'facts'.
13:50 To an outsider, it would appear that the dominant life form on Earth is the automobile. Their roads and lots take up the most surface area, their emissions are changing the weather, and they’re becoming autonomous now.
I got to interview Giorgio Tsukolos as part of a college radio program I was part of where we'd talk to people about aliens and conspiracy theories etc. Granted this was back in 2012 where it was more light-hearted fun than it is now
I hate how my dad love this show and gobble up all their crap. He was a principal. He was the guy who made me interested in history and science. Yet he believe this BS
when i was really young me and my grandma would watch this show every weekend together and would have a deep discussion about the world around us afterward. thank you for bringing back a core memory for me
I love when you do the Ancient Aliens videos. One of my favorite Ancient Aliens moment was the Star Gates episode. "Look at this square carving into the side of this rock. Why?" "It's a star gate for interdimensional travel!!!!"
The inconsistencies of archeology are legitimate. Acadamia actively suppresses these insights into archeology lol it even becomes acceptable to stigmatized them, not unlike the UFO topic. Hmm maybe both are related.... Look it doesn't take a genius of phd to have basic analytical skills and determine that a lot of the things discussed in Ancient Aliens is based on credible evidence that goes back thousands of years. We have whistle-blower David Grusch ffs, folks. David Grusch: "I have 100% certainty that the UAP Phenomenon is real, and it is thousands of years old". Hm.. that would mean the implications of non-human Intelligences interacting with humanity goes back millenia... hmm maybe that's what some of the religious texts where talking about... Hmm Maybe the government and acadamia are lying about everything. Haha they are. (:
There are so many inconsistencies that archeology can't answer for lol Funnily enough the CIA of all intelligence agencies has declassified documents that anyone can look up and see they've held a significant stealthy presence embedded within Acadamia. This may explain the dead ends of archeology and acadamia. Especially when you consider the fact that the Security State apparatus of America has been lying and covering up the reality of UAP amd NHI existence for at least a hundred years... But idk maybe my comment will simply disappear again 💁🏿♀️
I mean, when you consider the fact that archeology actively suppresses research and insight into new alternative hypothesis on the origin of many of these findings, with many of them getting laughed at and ridiculed, just like people in the UFO "field", it just becomes blatantly obvious that people like David Grusch are telling the truth when they say, " * The UAP Phenomenon is real and it is thousands of years old* Ancient Aliens is probably on to something...
I watched this show "religiously" many years ago because of how hilarious I find it to be. As time went on I couldn't handle watching it anymore, which made my husband happy because he hates that show. Two of my favorite memes are: "I'm not saying it was aliens, but it was aliens." and "How did this lint get in my pocket? Aliens." with Giorgio and his Goku hair in the meme.
As time goes on, it's actually insane that Ancient Aliens suddenly seems credible. For anyone paying attention within the last year, we've had multiple credible whistle-blowers testify to congress on the existence of the UAP Phenomenon, saying we are reverse engineering that technology, and that the Phenomenon is *thousands of years old*
Sometimes ancient aliens has things that make you think “yeah maybe I guess that could be a thing” but a lot of the time it’s laughably stupid. Especially the stuff with the Greek guy with the hair, don’t get me wrong, he’s awesome, probably the best.. he cracks me up
From what I have seen of the show, it is a rapid-fire chain of well-established science-themed thought experiments (many actually long-established and quite valid... _as interesting thought experiments!_ ) presented as a network of inter-supporting facts on a foundation of candyfloss. What's not to like! 😀
I gotta say i really admire that you did the deep dive on this one. You could have just laughed at the show, but instead you found the research paper, read and refuted it as well. Props!
I work in an astrobiology lab and we like watching ancient aliens episodes and having drinking games. We frequently get emails from ancient conspiracy people. My favourite is the giant space banana guy.
@@caycast.5077 He claims that the Earth is made of continent sized banana shaped slabs of living tissue that collided in space billions of years ago forming a long banana flesh chain. The chain folded up in to a ball because of gravity and that became the Earth. The remains of the individual bananas turned to stone and became the continents. He says that's why the oldest parts of modern continents are banana shaped (They are not). He even made a whole video here where he explained it in detail using play do models. He was always really polite and friendly in his emails even when disagreeing. He was a geologist too and we exchanged a few emails discussing his ideas until he stopped responding. I later met one of his colleagues at a conference. They said he was a nice guy and good colleague, and that there had been a family tragedy that caused him to have a mental break down. The banana thing developed as a coping mechanism. Last I heard he was on long term leave, getting treatment, and doing better.
The question I am asking myself is: Could it be, that we are decendents of those superintelligents robots? Why do we assume that all robots need to be out of metal and not out of carbon? Am I a robot? Am I AI? Am I Chat GPT? 🤖
"They gave Leonardo DiCaprio ideas for his inventions". I think that's the wrong Leonardo there. This whole video has me laughing like a maniac all on my own.
no offense (I'm not crazy I promise) but the reason people say Silicon-based life is not because of computers, it's because silicon has the same number of valence electrons as Carbon, and therefore, all of the Carbon lattices (e.g. everything that is alive, even lots of stuff that isn't alive, like gasoline) should be replicable using Silicon. Elements that are aligned vertically in the periodic table all have the same number of valence electrons.
That paper, although horribly written, actually has points that genuine astrologists and the like share and have entertained, and never rule out as a possibility
My favorite line in each show is when the narrator says some INSANE outlandish remark, followed by "ancient astronaut theorists say... YES!". I specifically remember a waterfall one, something like "Are aliens using waterfalls high up in the mountains to hide, and use them as a fuel source for their craft?....... ANCIENT ASTRONAUT THEORISTS SAY.... YES!" I get excited lol
I love how this entire show is just the plot of Stargate: SG-1 (in which the gods are in fact aliens and there are self-replicating robots called...wait for it...replicators). The ironic thing is, despite being on the SciFi channel, Stargate was still more historically convincing than anything on the History Channel lmao
Truth be told the idea of Stargate came directly from Erich von Daniken book ''Chariots of the Gods'', he is the older dude with German accent on the show. So Stargate essentially has its roots in Ancient aliens :D
Oh man, this show. I was SO into this in middle school. Like, an insane amount. In 8th grade we had to read and do a presentation on a non-fiction book and for some reason I picked a book written by one of the guys from this show, and it was ALL about Ancient Aliens. I gave this full presentation on this horse shit about how I truly believed in the stuff they said on this show and in that book. I promptly forgot I did this assignment within a few months. Flash forward to two years later, in 10th grade science, when I get paired up with this girl I haven't talked to much. To my horror, she asks me, "Do you still believe in all that alien stuff?" to which I suddenly and horrifically remembered that I had fully done that presentation and to at least one person, I was the alien kid. Now I can never think of anything but pure embarrassment when I see anything related to this show. Middle school was truly a time.
I used to honestly entertain this show. I wasn’t arguing with friends about the validity of what they were saying, but It was kind of fun to think it may have been possible… I think it was the episode where they put forth the idea that Bigfoot was the descendant of genetically modified humans that were put (back?) down to Earth to farm minerals from the Earth and left behind. Don’t know why that was the last straw for me but that was the last episode I watched and never looked back 😂
I think they were taking it seriously for the first few seasons and at least tried to make coherent points. Now they're clearly just making shit up.. but I still enjoy it for the same reason Gabi does lmao
Yeah when it first came out it seemed like they would eventually make some good points, but like I remember one of the first episodes was of a toy bird they put in a wind chamber and said it could fly…like did ufos either look like birds then or somehow teach people to make toys that could possibly fly if scaled up and an engine slapped on it? Where is the logic anywhere in that? But it is fun to watch, ancient alien theorists will say yes to literally anything…insert alien probe joke here
The last 2 seasons have been great. They've been talking about whistle-blowers coming forward, and amendments for UAP Disclosure. What happened in 2023: we see valid whistle-blower David Grusch come forward. And by the end of the year, the UAP Disclosure Amendment gets drafted, added to the NDAA, and ultimately blocked by like 4 senators who just so happen to be the largest receivers of Lockheed Martin private donations. It isn't rocket science, amd it doesn't take a PhD fresh outta acadamia to have basic analytical skills and come to conclusion that oh snap Ancient Aliens is probably onto something... lol at the very least
This might be very off topic but I wanted to let you know that I’m very thankful for your content. I’ve been binging your work for about two weeks and I’ve realized that it has helped me so so much to spend time with you during this very challenging time that I’m going through. You’re a fabulous, extremely funny and talented young woman and I hope you’ll be able to achieve whatever goals you’re having for the future. A heartfelt “thank you” and loads of love from Berlin (Germany), Vanessa ♥️
20:37 i know it’s a weird thing to point out for an absolutely insane pseudo documentary but how are they not embarrassed to show a skull whose jaw is utterly misaligned with the face that sits atop of it
I love how the American narrator sounds like he believes it, but in the UK version we have our own narrator who always sounds like he's scoffing at it.
That show is good for one thing and one thing only. Providing laughter at the insane ideas and that guys hair. It just keeps getting crazier and crazier!
I mean, once we finally get over the fact that the US government (and other governments) around the world have been lying to our faces about the aliens/NHI and UFOs/UAPs, we'll ironically come to realize Ancient Aliens was the closest to the truth all along hahah
@@Hammerbruder99 Yes, educational actually used to mean something for networks like TLC, History Channel and The Discovery Channel in the ‘80s and ‘90s. Their programs were more centered around educational topics than reality TV shows like it is today.
All this reminded me of the Lovecraft novel At the Mountain of Madness but badly written. My grandmother loves this show and i'm tired of trying to convince her that she shouldn't believe everything they say.
Ugh I hear ya... my ma thinks that Skinwalker Ranch show is doing real science because... They're scientists! I've tried to explain how the scientific method works and she just gets mad. I said there's nothing wrong with watching as long as you don't take anything they say seriously. Dead Files? Real. Evolution? Atheist Darwin nonsense. Be happy it's just your gran and she's not watching Fox News 24/7.
This was fun, coming from a guy who falls alseep to that show often your breakdown is spot on. Something about that Greek guys voice just lulls me right off to dreamland.
i remember hearing giorgio on coast to coast before the show came out, talking with george a few times through different steps of the process of getting it up and going. i love these guys. i love this show. watching it go from some at least coherent but dare i say even thoughtful ideas that had been bouncing around for 50 years, to them reaching the bottom of the barrel and going "welp, we're just gonna pick a place, a technology and a period of time out of a hat" i'm still there for the whole ride. but i don't have cable so really only get to catch up when i'm at a hotel or something. thank you gabi!
The last 2 seasons have been the most credible seasons of them all now that we have credible whistle-blowers like David Grsuch blowing the lid off both the UFO topic & cover-up
I love taking the narrator voice of ancient aliens, and make him say outrageous theories. The more outlandish, the BETTER.

YAY NEW ACIENT ALIENS GABI VIDEO
As an Egyptian mythology nerd, what I find so particularly funny about the god Osiris being a "build-it-yourself" robot is that it ignores one damning detail: Osiris, like any normal living being; had _genitalia._ Adding to this, it was the only body part that wasn't reassambled since it was swallowed by a fish, thus his wife had to create a new one in order to conceive their son Horus.
Maybe the aliens were kinky, like who can say no to a testa coil lol
Idk about that, is it "genitalia"? Or is it the name of their 3d printer? /j
I dunno, makes sense to me. That's where they store the cpu that manages making new robots, lol! Can't put that process in the brain, just have to shove it in a big external detachable robot-dick!
😁
Maybe the story was created to explain why he DIDN'T appear to have a penis.
🤣I don't believe that - I think it was a synthetic myth - but could it be possible? Ancient astronaut theorists say YES!
So, fun fact, the ancient greek did have "robots". They were more like complicated puppets that move with steam. Heron of Alexandria is sometimes credited as writing the first book on robotics in the 2nd century A.D. Humans are able to do cool stuff, a concept that ancient aliens seems to have a hard time grasping.
Hahahaha yeah well said. Humans unfortunately sometimes don't realize, or just never existed in the circumstances to learn that this species has one hell of a story on the planet.
Yes, I had read somewhere (reasonably reputable!) about demonstrations of small steam engine prototypes at Alexander's Court, but beyond making amusing toys, the technology wasn't taken very seriously at the time.
I believe they meant the "automatons" mentioned in mythos sorrounding Hephaestus. He was supposed to have a whole bunch of them made of and capable of creating minerals of different properties, like bronze, silver, gold and tin. It was basically his workforce working tirelessly so that the Divine Smith could create special macguffin for gods and heroes.
Especially if it’s brown people doing the advancements…

I couldn't binge-watch Ancient Aliens without risking a fatal brain fail. I saw one where, in South America, there was a rectangular carving in a stone.

every AncientAssole show can be summed up as: "watch caucasians act like brown people can't build stuff with rocks unless they have help from aliens"
17:50 I'd like to add to your rebuttal of the "human slow, computer fast" argument. In one of my programming classes our professor gave us a thought experiment: "What does a robot need to know to navigate a room, and how would you program one to do so?" As a human, if you come to a room you have never been to before and step inside, there are some things you know pretty much almost immediately: What are the rough dimensions, what stuff can move, what stuff can't move, what stuff shouldn't move, what stuff blocks your path, what stuff can be removed from your path, and what stuff is important to the room. Even with modern deep-learning algorithms, a computer has to spend a lot of time putting everything in the room into useful categories. However, a human does this between one blink and the next. You may not know what each and every object in a room is, but you can quickly tell that it isn't a very oddly-shaped thing, its a desk with a monitor and a stack of papers on it. The desk would be the most difficult to move, but the papers on top of it might fall if you walk too close. You, as a human, do not have to consciously evaluate each shape to determine what sort of object each thing in the room is -- you simply know immediately. Because of the procedural nature of computers, the algorithm to evaluate a room would likely be exponential, but even if it were logarithmic a room with any complexity would take a lot of computing power to evaluate quickly. Are computers fast? Sure, but humans are still far faster when understanding and navigating the world around us.
Yeah, there's a reason humans (and other animals) are way more capable at most real-world tasks than computers and purpose-built machines. There's a lot more to it than just fast calculations! Our brains are "slow" but they're incredibly complex systems, that have evolved over millions of years through a planetary-scale learning process to be very good at understanding things (even completely unfamiliar stuff) and producing useful results very quickly
I think part of it though is that when we're a baby we learn physics. Newborns have reflexes and senses, which certainly help but they also have to stay and learn how things work. Someone i know saw a toddler try to fill a basket with water. Babies don't have the best understanding of physics either
@@orbismworldbuilding8428 you're right about that I think, the original comment is not a perfect metaphor. The human brain already has the answers stored in it's memory - a computer could do a similar thing.
@Robothuck i think so too, and for computers lacking reflexes to guide its learning process, there's already some robotics in development that has reflex-oriented approaches to smooth out actions like grabbing an object. There's also some really old robotics built almost entirely on the principle of reflexes or simple motor loops, which while it was simple and not very controllable (it didn't involve any computers, just electronic components that acted vaguely like neurons), you could implement reflexive "nervous systems" into computerized robots and implement those together. And those reflexes and sensors would probably help it learn to navigate the real world a lot better.
Sensors is another thing, our body has countless even for things you might not think of, while most robots only have a few. Its harder to learn meaningful things about the physical world when you have fewer sensors. If a robot only senses with a camera, its like AI trying to make a video of Will Smith eating spaghetti, it doesn't know what any of that is or how it works, just sees the image changing when it moves somehow.
It needs to have a sense of touch, know what its motors are doing, see, all of it as much as it can. In my opinion robots are bad at navigating the world because we only give them as many senses as a Ring doorbell
It could be done differently, it just isn't because its expensive and hard to maintain
@@Robothuck the difference is humans have the ~capacity~ to learn very complex things, because evolution has given us brains that are "designed" to comprehend the real world, and let us learn and understand abstract concepts. Babies have a lot to learn but they're definitely not starting from scratch!
Replicating that complexity and the information embedded in it is the hard part - we don't really understand everything about how brains work, and the machine learning models we do have are way more simplistic, and expensive to train and operate. And the bigger the scope of what they're supposed to be able to handle without just getting worse, the more resources they require - exponentially more. The scale of the evolutonary process that got our brains to where they are today really can't be overstated, there's no guarantee we'd be able to get anywhere close (and we sure as hell ain't right now!)

My favorite thing about Ancient Aliens, and maybe this doesn’t affect it much if you’re streaming it, is that the commercial breaks are strategically placed to basically make you lose their train of thought. Before the break, they set it up as if they’re about to come back with supporting evidence with the “theory” they just espoused, but really, they just come back from the break with a tangentially related topic.
The only evidence u need is an ancient alien theorist saying yes
This pissed me off as a kid so much because I was so willing to believe how grandiose it was, and it would be such brain numbing statements that I would remember it after all the ads🤣

This is nostalgia for sure.

Just nostalgia for when the History channel once showed actual history content for all of 2 minutes in their early years.

0:13 I've never watched Ancient Aliens. Yesterday I put on what I thought was a nice little documentary about underground tunnels in Germany and it was kind of cheap but still interesting. I started to suspect that something wasn't quite right about the vibe when instead of providing actual scientific research this guy suddenly came up with a story from india where they thought the gods or aliens used those tunnels as escape routes or something.
My favorite ancient aliens theory was in the Nazca lines one where they are like "look at these mountains, some advanced technology has CUT OFF THE TOP of the mountain, AND there's no rubble at the base of the mountain. Is it possible that ancient astronauts teleported the rocks away after cutting off the top of the mountain" and it's just like.....those are plateaus
Priceless! There is a disturbing lack of understanding or just how vast our galaxy (let alone the universe) is. These guys came all the way here to chop off the top of a mountain, to obtain common minerals? And they are the "higher intelligence"? 😅
That episode was a great ab workout, I laughed so hard. Harder when I discussed it with a mechanical engineer , we were both roaring and doing our best imitations of crazy hair guy - whom by the way was perfect in resident alien and should consider giving up ancient aliens and just do cameos in sci fi as "that guy" 😅 specially since they have just been rehashing stuff since season 13

I love how they see all these stories of Greek "robots" and go "Look! Robots! Aliens!", completely missing that the Greeks actually had automatons (which are *kinda* like robots), serving as toys, curiosities, and just in general fun spectacles and gadgets, and thats almost certainly where the ideas for all of the "robots" in their myths come from. Hephaestus's robot servants were almost certainly imagined as really, really impressive, human shaped automatons. Talos was almost certainly imagined as a particularly impressive automaton. The Greeks were aware of, and made these devices: its no shock that they had stories of imaginary ones that made the real ones look primitive. We have spaceships, we also have stories of imaginary spaceships that make ours look somewhat unimpressive.
its hilarious. Did they just *miss* this? Are they deliberately not mentioning it? Ancient Aliens is truly a hilarious programme.
this was one of me and my dads favorite shows. i remember the ONLY time we ever heard the voiceover guy say "ancient alien theorists say NO" we had to pause and cheer it was insane. i dont remember what the theory was but wow even if theyre saying no its gotta be wild. good to see Georgios still at it haha

Working as a teacher I think I'm forbidden to teach stuff like this.
All of these ideas are not new and made up. Even more than half of them are used by GRRM in Game of Thrones/ASIOAF, decades ago, for example the large statues on the isle of Rhodes that comes to life to protect the island. That's why in the book it's a foreshadowing of what will happen, when that large statue Arya crosses beneath on the ship while entering Bravos. These are all ideas known for ages, centuries, in many different civilizations.
So ancient aliens isn't just coming up with ideas out of the blue and throwing a bunch of stuff together

@@shara1979 ... what? The Colossus of Rhodes wasn't a series of statues that came to life. Yes, the one in Bravos in GoT is a reference to the legend.
I’ve watched Ancient Aliens for a few years myself. Near as I can tell, they started out with a logical idea of “what if” and ran off the edge of the galaxy with it. If there are aliens, and they’re watching us, they’re probably laughing their butts off.😂
The problem is they found themselves with a hit tv show then ran out of new material for the demand the show still has. Yeah I'm a fan of it too though.
Wasn’t even their idea. This stuff has been around and discredited since the 1960s.
They started with a guy doing a book tour a few decades ago- Chariot of the Gods. It was stupid when he wrote it.
20:46 "I wasn't folding my laundry during this like some of you"

The idea of a self replicating robot is actually a valid theory in science. The problem is its presented as proof of aliens rather then just a fun theory.
That "are a dad/know a dad" shit is so real tho. Ancient aliens was a formative show for me and my dad to watch after I got home from school in like 5th grade. We would laugh so hard 🤣.

my family and i have always loved this show for how batshit crazy it is so im glad more people are recognizing how funny it is
honestly this episode was one of the more tangible ones tho... if we've developed ai only a few thousand years into our development, who's to say some other species in the ever expanding universe hasn't as well? Gabi is an overly confident idiot in my opinion. We don't know shit about the universe, and we barely know about physics and overall cosmology as a whole, it's fine if you disagree with other life being out there, but to state is as fact is straight up regarded.

Especially when you consider the fact that the Security State apparatus of America has been lying and covering up the reality of UAP amd NHI existence for at least a hundred years...
But idk maybe my comment will simply disappear again 💁🏿♀️
I mean, when you consider the fact that archeology actively suppresses research and insight into new alternative hypothesis on the origin of many of these findings, with many of them getting laughed at and ridiculed, just like people in the UFO "field", it just becomes blatantly obvious that people like David Grusch are telling the truth when they say, " * The UAP Phenomenon is real and it is thousands of years old*
Ancient Aliens is probably on to something...
it says there's three comments under yours but none show up. Weird youtube censoring?
@@McSnezzly that's what I'm saying lol glitch? Orrrrrr 👀
I watched this show "religiously" many years ago because of how hilarious I find it to be. As time went on I couldn't handle watching it anymore, which made my husband happy because he hates that show. Two of my favorite memes are: "I'm not saying it was aliens, but it was aliens." and "How did this lint get in my pocket? Aliens." with Giorgio and his Goku hair in the meme.
I also used to watch this alot until I felt it killing off too many braincells. It's still extremely funny though.
As time goes on, it's actually insane that Ancient Aliens suddenly seems credible. For anyone paying attention within the last year, we've had multiple credible whistle-blowers testify to congress on the existence of the UAP Phenomenon, saying we are reverse engineering that technology, and that the Phenomenon is *thousands of years old*
@@lobban2 LMAO bro fr it definitely killed too many brain cells
I wish my best friend would stop watching it,I cannot stand it but he falls for their bs 😭
Sometimes ancient aliens has things that make you think “yeah maybe I guess that could be a thing” but a lot of the time it’s laughably stupid. Especially the stuff with the Greek guy with the hair, don’t get me wrong, he’s awesome, probably the best.. he cracks me up
From what I have seen of the show, it is a rapid-fire chain of well-established science-themed thought experiments (many actually long-established and quite valid... _as interesting thought experiments!_ ) presented as a network of inter-supporting facts on a foundation of candyfloss.
What's not to like! 😀
20:08 when I learned of the weakness of my flesh, I was disgusted by it. I craved the strength and certainty of steel
5:53 “3CPO” 💀
This is too much. Now there are 3 of him!
As an ancient astronaut theorist, I sure as heck contend
As a respected ufologist in my community and grade six dropout, I agree...lol
I gotta say i really admire that you did the deep dive on this one. You could have just laughed at the show, but instead you found the research paper, read and refuted it as well. Props!
Silicone is for plastic surgeons. Silicon is for motherboards. Aliens made out of silicone would be softer than silicon.
22:40 "They gave Leonardo DiCaprio ideas for his inventions" LMAO.
I work in an astrobiology lab and we like watching ancient aliens episodes and having drinking games. We frequently get emails from ancient conspiracy people. My favourite is the giant space banana guy.
Please tell us what the giant space banana does
Go on….
@@caycast.5077 He claims that the Earth is made of continent sized banana shaped slabs of living tissue that collided in space billions of years ago forming a long banana flesh chain. The chain folded up in to a ball because of gravity and that became the Earth. The remains of the individual bananas turned to stone and became the continents. He says that's why the oldest parts of modern continents are banana shaped (They are not). He even made a whole video here where he explained it in detail using play do models.
He was always really polite and friendly in his emails even when disagreeing. He was a geologist too and we exchanged a few emails discussing his ideas until he stopped responding.
I later met one of his colleagues at a conference. They said he was a nice guy and good colleague, and that there had been a family tragedy that caused him to have a mental break down. The banana thing developed as a coping mechanism. Last I heard he was on long term leave, getting treatment, and doing better.
@@geologyjohnson7700 aww good for banana man, wish him the best
doggo nappin in the background is the best back drop one could possibly ask for
"His spine was depicted as columns."
Ohhhh kinda like a human spine? 😂
The question I am asking myself is: Could it be, that we are decendents of those superintelligents robots? Why do we assume that all robots need to be out of metal and not out of carbon? Am I a robot? Am I AI? Am I Chat GPT?
🤖
"They gave Leonardo DiCaprio ideas for his inventions". I think that's the wrong Leonardo there. This whole video has me laughing like a maniac all on my own.
Even Nikola Tesla alluded to receiving some kind of "message from beyond"
They're onto something.
no offense (I'm not crazy I promise) but the reason people say Silicon-based life is not because of computers, it's because silicon has the same number of valence electrons as Carbon, and therefore, all of the Carbon lattices (e.g. everything that is alive, even lots of stuff that isn't alive, like gasoline) should be replicable using Silicon. Elements that are aligned vertically in the periodic table all have the same number of valence electrons.
That paper, although horribly written, actually has points that genuine astrologists and the like share and have entertained, and never rule out as a possibility
@@Overkillairsoftteam1 do you mean astronomists? not tryna be rude, i mix those words up too
@@mightymeatymech LMAOOO you right, astrologists would not help in the world of cosmology 😂
The channel acollierastro has a very interesting video why aliens will very likely not be silicon based.
@@Overkillairsoftteam1 lolol i was gonna say, if astrologists have something to add to the conversation i'm all ears, it's bound to be interesting
My favorite line in each show is when the narrator says some INSANE outlandish remark, followed by "ancient astronaut theorists say... YES!".
I specifically remember a waterfall one, something like "Are aliens using waterfalls high up in the mountains to hide, and use them as a fuel source for their craft?....... ANCIENT ASTRONAUT THEORISTS SAY.... YES!" I get excited lol
I love how this entire show is just the plot of Stargate: SG-1 (in which the gods are in fact aliens and there are self-replicating robots called...wait for it...replicators). The ironic thing is, despite being on the SciFi channel, Stargate was still more historically convincing than anything on the History Channel lmao
I was looking for this cause I thought the same thing like the replicators and everything are involved XD
Truth be told the idea of Stargate came directly from Erich von Daniken book ''Chariots of the Gods'', he is the older dude with German accent on the show. So Stargate essentially has its roots in Ancient aliens :D
Oh man, this show. I was SO into this in middle school. Like, an insane amount. In 8th grade we had to read and do a presentation on a non-fiction book and for some reason I picked a book written by one of the guys from this show, and it was ALL about Ancient Aliens. I gave this full presentation on this horse shit about how I truly believed in the stuff they said on this show and in that book. I promptly forgot I did this assignment within a few months. Flash forward to two years later, in 10th grade science, when I get paired up with this girl I haven't talked to much. To my horror, she asks me, "Do you still believe in all that alien stuff?" to which I suddenly and horrifically remembered that I had fully done that presentation and to at least one person, I was the alien kid.
Now I can never think of anything but pure embarrassment when I see anything related to this show. Middle school was truly a time.
I used to honestly entertain this show. I wasn’t arguing with friends about the validity of what they were saying, but It was kind of fun to think it may have been possible… I think it was the episode where they put forth the idea that Bigfoot was the descendant of genetically modified humans that were put (back?) down to Earth to farm minerals from the Earth and left behind. Don’t know why that was the last straw for me but that was the last episode I watched and never looked back 😂
I think they were taking it seriously for the first few seasons and at least tried to make coherent points. Now they're clearly just making shit up.. but I still enjoy it for the same reason Gabi does lmao
Yeah when it first came out it seemed like they would eventually make some good points, but like I remember one of the first episodes was of a toy bird they put in a wind chamber and said it could fly…like did ufos either look like birds then or somehow teach people to make toys that could possibly fly if scaled up and an engine slapped on it? Where is the logic anywhere in that? But it is fun to watch, ancient alien theorists will say yes to literally anything…insert alien probe joke here
The last 2 seasons have been great. They've been talking about whistle-blowers coming forward, and amendments for UAP Disclosure.
What happened in 2023: we see valid whistle-blower David Grusch come forward. And by the end of the year, the UAP Disclosure Amendment gets drafted, added to the NDAA, and ultimately blocked by like 4 senators who just so happen to be the largest receivers of Lockheed Martin private donations.
It isn't rocket science, amd it doesn't take a PhD fresh outta acadamia to have basic analytical skills and come to conclusion that oh snap Ancient Aliens is probably onto something... lol at the very least
I was actually folding my laundry, there is only one explanation for this... Aliens!!!
i can't imagine myself having 1% of the creativity of the screenwriters of ancient aliens
Well your mind is going to be BLOWN AWAY once you realize a lot of the stuff they're talking about is not only true, but real.
This might be very off topic but I wanted to let you know that I’m very thankful for your content. I’ve been binging your work for about two weeks and I’ve realized that it has helped me so so much to spend time with you during this very challenging time that I’m going through. You’re a fabulous, extremely funny and talented young woman and I hope you’ll be able to achieve whatever goals you’re having for the future. A heartfelt “thank you” and loads of love from Berlin (Germany), Vanessa ♥️
As a robotics engineering major, I was in fact recruited by aliens to ascend to code
Nice to see you here, I am the alien who recruited you remember me or was the probing too aggressive. It's something I'm working on still
You are in fact already code, and have always been so. All anything can ever be is code.
20:37 i know it’s a weird thing to point out for an absolutely insane pseudo documentary but how are they not embarrassed to show a skull whose jaw is utterly misaligned with the face that sits atop of it
I really got a kick out of your explanation of how they answer their own questions with their own answers. So true and funny!
I love how the American narrator sounds like he believes it, but in the UK version we have our own narrator who always sounds like he's scoffing at it.
Not even mad that the dog sleeping peacefully in the background distracted me for much of this video
That show is good for one thing and one thing only. Providing laughter at the insane ideas and that guys hair. It just keeps getting crazier and crazier!
My favorite thing when watching Ancient Aliens is answering every question with 'aliens' and totally agreeing with every statement said 😂😂😂😂
20:43 I literally froze with my half folded pants in my hands😂😂
It’s so wild how far educational cable TV has fallen. It’s even wilder how many seasons this show has.
They got bought out 🤷
I mean, once we finally get over the fact that the US government (and other governments) around the world have been lying to our faces about the aliens/NHI and UFOs/UAPs, we'll ironically come to realize Ancient Aliens was the closest to the truth all along hahah
History channel: will u take a pay cut for season 30 since ratings are down?
Ancient alien theorists: yes
"Educational"
@@Hammerbruder99 Yes, educational actually used to mean something for networks like TLC, History Channel and The Discovery Channel in the ‘80s and ‘90s. Their programs were more centered around educational topics than reality TV shows like it is today.
All this reminded me of the Lovecraft novel At the Mountain of Madness but badly written. My grandmother loves this show and i'm tired of trying to convince her that she shouldn't believe everything they say.
Ugh I hear ya... my ma thinks that Skinwalker Ranch show is doing real science because... They're scientists!
I've tried to explain how the scientific method works and she just gets mad.
I said there's nothing wrong with watching as long as you don't take anything they say seriously.
Dead Files? Real. Evolution? Atheist Darwin nonsense.
Be happy it's just your gran and she's not watching Fox News 24/7.
Ancient Aliens makes me appreciate Stargate that much more.
Von Daniken is wearing that same sport coat in every single Ancient Aliens episode. It's amazing really.
This was fun, coming from a guy who falls alseep to that show often your breakdown is spot on.
Something about that Greek guys voice just lulls me right off to dreamland.
I wonder if someone has told Ancient Aliens that, in Greek Mythology, Hefestus had 2 "androids" as servants in his house...
Ancient Aliens is my “smoking a cannabis hookah on the couch” go to comfort show lol
....how does one smoke cannabis out of a hookah? am i a complete noob lmao

‘Gave Leonardo De Caprio …’ that was highly entertaining, subbed 🤘🔥
14:19 doggy looking at window be like:
"Why are we still here? Just to suffer?"
How your voice is so calming and smooth ?
"Alien"
i remember hearing giorgio on coast to coast before the show came out, talking with george a few times through different steps of the process of getting it up and going. i love these guys. i love this show.
watching it go from some at least coherent but dare i say even thoughtful ideas that had been bouncing around for 50 years, to them reaching the bottom of the barrel and going "welp, we're just gonna pick a place, a technology and a period of time out of a hat"
i'm still there for the whole ride. but i don't have cable so really only get to catch up when i'm at a hotel or something. thank you gabi!
The last 2 seasons have been the most credible seasons of them all now that we have credible whistle-blowers like David Grsuch blowing the lid off both the UFO topic & cover-up
This whole show is like someone watched Stargate and just wrote some twisted fan fiction on LSD.
I love taking the narrator voice of ancient aliens, and make him say outrageous theories. The more outlandish, the BETTER. But ALWAYS back it up with the ultimate catch phrase!
“These ancient Egyptian glyphs seem to mimic local street food vendors… Are modern food vendors today, remnants of an ancient food culture that’s been passed on by aliens?!!.. Ancient astronaut theorists, say YES!” 😂
