Ancient Aliens on History Channel

[zinfamous]

He will talk about ancient aliens' bodies and their adaption to earth's climate, technically he would be a valid expert then.

:hmm:

is this Red Squirrel?

:hmm:

 

[zinfamous]

so when were at home we stare at the walls? drop acid? or what

read?
masturbate?
talk to people?

all of these options are generally more stimulating than what the majority of TV offers.

This was my take on it in this thread

Er...not sure if serious?

I gave up on TV in high school...

Benefits of not watching TV:

-spend less because less exposure to slick advertising campaigns
-less depressed to know that we don't give TV our attention, and start paying attention to our own lives
-more interaction with the rest of the world

to list a few. TV is not your friend.

You post a lot of stuff that just barely has anything to do with the topic of the thread you post in.

I agree! I was watching "Earth Without Humans" on History Channel..... etc.

Actually the show is called Life After People. But at least this show is more plausible than Ancient Aliens. :\

i saw that show, makes perfect sense. I've watched an abondoned house near me wear down and within about 5 years it looks condemnable. No doubt within 50 years of no humans, it would be a few boards upright in the middle of a woods.

heck just look at most ghettos and theres people that live there. so i can only imagine how bad it would look without us.

I see a lot of people thumbing their noses at the show, and i do agree that some things are just crazy.. BUT the show has raised questions for me. like the underwater ruins off of Japan. If that structure was built 10,000 years ago when that area was above sea level and man was wearing skins and had flint spears who could not have possibly have built it, then who did. Same goes for the roman like ruins under 1000 feet of water off the coast of Cuba. who built it?

Havana, Cuba: A team of scientists continues to explore megalithic ruins found in the Yucatan Channel near Cuba. They have found evidence of an extensive urban environment stretching for miles along the ocean shore. Some believe that the civilization that inhabited these predates all known ancient American cultures. So far, only computer models of this mysterious underwater city exist.

another interesting thing i got from the series is the Nurenberg air battle recorded in 1561 and another air battle witnessed by the people in Basel Switzerland 5 years later.

Yeah, I think a small percentage of the episodes have been very thought prevoking.. namely the Underwater and Underground Ruins eps. Other than those, I think it's been pretty poor.

I agree that many of the topics are very interesting, but my biggest problem is their "experts." Most of them have no credentials and the ones who do have credentials (like the guy from NASA) aren't speaking directly to any of the claims of these ancient alien "theorists" but instead, are just talking about science in general.

A couple of those guys (pictured earlier) talk about their theories as if they are factual and indisputable but can never show any other proof.

Absolutely tree. The "experts" are absolutely absurd. That dude with the spray on orange tan gives me a chuckle every time he comes on screen. I also enjoy looking at all the ridiculous shit they have in the background of their home/office.

 

[PingSpike]

Yeah, THC is turning to shit. It was only a matter of time since all other basic cable channels have more or less transformed into monster truck dudes or drunk sluts reality TV network. You can flip through 40-50 channels and its the exact same kind of trash on each one of them. I think the cancer started with MTV and has now overtaken the host.

My wife and I know him by name and we tune in each week to see if his ridiculous tan is another shade of orange or if he managed to actually use a comb.

The most interesting thing to me is the appearance of flying saucers in paintings, literature, etc. from long, long ago. These guys take it to the opposite extreme, however, and claim any supernatual claims from ancient or medieval people MUST be true and MUST be aliens. Is it possible? Sure. But many of these people used mind-altering substances and much of it could have been a simple hallucination.

It is terribly sad. It first happened to TLC (I remember when you could actually see good things there), then hit Discovery, and now THC. Ancient Aliens is actually an awesome show compared to the crap that is Ice Road Truckers, Axe Men, etc.

awww common, the two idiots in Florida trying to get sunken trees is funny but yet makes me weep for humanity that people are that stupid.

my post a few up still stands. the underwater ruins raise some very interesting questions like who built them and why. our understanding of man at that period in our history says there is no way in hell they did it. So does that mean there is a lot more to our history that we care to admit like being a lot more advanced? case in point the Romans were experts on concrete in fact their concrete is much better than the concrete we make today. along comes the fall of the roman empire and the dark ages and that "recipe" to make concrete was lost for nearly 2,000 years.

 

[BurnItDwn]

"They should just go back to war documentaries."

Hell fvcking yes. That was what made History Channel great. Now it's fvcking stupid.
Ohh, when they played BoB reruns it was awesome too (don't really matter as I have them on both DVD and Bluray, but, didn't have the DVDs when they first started to replay them.)

 

[Modular]

The whole channel is like a freak show now. It is really embarrassing. It wasn't that long ago that it was actually a great channel to watch. I guess it was 2004 or 2005 where it started heading downhill.

This is so true. I remember watching planetary documentaries, war history, space shuttle history, etc. and loving it. It was probably around 2003-2005. Now it's just crap, sad really.:'(

Hey, don't get me wrong, I actually like the show but I laugh at most of their "experts."

I watched one last night that said that angels in the bible were people with jetpacks.

Learn more about what you see on tv. They say 5,000 year old, but the real experts say it's only natural.

The ________ channel is probably 75% _________ bullshit by now. They should just go _________ documentaries.

fixed to include every other channel on cable.

Thats not quite what they said. I believe the said anti-gravity devices.

Did you even read the link you posted? The First Japanese professor mentioned states it is man-made and the second Japanese professor backs him up. The American prof then says it's natural. The only thing the article says is that real experts believe it to still be controversial. I'm not saying I think it's one or the other, but the article clearly doesn't state "the real experts say it's only natural."

Yeah, the show is 100% batshit. Anyone who believes any of that shit needs to be lined up against a wall and shot.

Also do not completely plagiarise someone's work by not at least pointing to where you got it. I googled some information about this, and your exact quotes appeared multiple times. Google "megalithic ruins found in the Yucatan Channel" and you can see your part completely repeated on multiple sites. You do not support your cause by doing such things.

What, this guy doesn't seem like a trustworthy source of information to you?

LOL. That guy is so batshit. If he honestly believes the shit he says he needs to be locked away in a "home"
