They literally built civilization. They created metallurgy, domesticated livestock, domesticated crops, irrigation, the pottery wheel, beer brewing, writing, mathematics, various modes of transportation, more advanced warfare (for good or ill). All this started the Bronze Age. Think about how much experimentation had to go into all this. And it was done more than 6000 years ago, and we still don't really know how long it took them to figure all this out. Homo sapiens have been wandering this planet for 200,000 years, and they were just as smart and capable as what we are now. Dare I say more capable of survival than your average spoiled city dweller sipping the latte with zero appreciation from where they get their means of survival.

While human spaceships might not share that fate YET, if our civilization reaches a level of advancement where spaceships are cheap and plentiful... I mean we already have space tourism starting to arise. Also, if aliens send warships to Earth (I don't think it's a likely scenario, movies and fiction focus on such scenarios because it's more interesting, but reality doesn't provide much reason to believe this to be probable) but IF they do... well, many human generals and army leaders weren't the brightest people either. Noble birth, loyalty to the leader, and many other factors usually were more important in choosing people to lead armies more so than intelligence. Would it be the same for aliens? Dunno. But I see no reason to assume alien idiots would not lead their fleets xD

And they could do all that without going a hundred thousand light-years close to earth.

[@tommeakin1732]

I know right. The idea that aliens want material deposits is idiotic because it's unimaginably easier to mine asteroids as they have no gravity well of notice, you don't have to dig down so far, and the whole structure will be less compacted. If they were stripping planets, I don't believe there's any particular reason to target earth first. And that wouldn't be an invasion - that'd be a nuke-and-chop ^^ Then there's when fiction uses water as a resource that aliens want.... God, water in the form of ice is one of the most common fucking things out there lol. When you start from first principles, the thing that makes earth special is it's biosphere. We shouldn't trivialise that either btw. Even if the universe is teaming with life (even intelligent life at that) you'd still expect to see a non-trivial chunk of any sophisticated population spending their whole lives studying specific species. There are many thousands of humans that more or less dedicate their lives to studying ants.

One question metatron , if aliens were going to build something then why build a pyramid when " they " could have built any kind of structure

[@metatronyt]

That too, very good point.

[@SevenSixTwo2012]

Because the pyramid is a structure that can withstand the passage of time much better than any other structure, due to its' geometrical shape. In essence, it's the perfect landmark if you want it to last for thousands of years. The stellar constellation-like arrangement of the pyramids both in Egypt and South America is also an unsolved mystery. Both locations represent a lot of similarities in how the pyramids were built and arranged in accordance with the stars. It's almost as if they were built by the same engineers. Yet, the ancient Egyptians never visited South America, as far as we know. That said, there's no evidence that Aliens built the pyramids per se... but maybe the humans who did had some help, or at least influence from a smarter species ? The known technology at the time leaves a lot of questions open to interpretation, to which historians have no verifiable answers.

[@Member_zero]

It was their plan all along. If they would make a too complex structure, people would suspect. They choose the pyramid because they assumed that humans would assume,it would be reasonable for ancient Egyptians to know how to build a pyramid, since it's the simplest and most bacis of shapes, and would be therefore discovered first.

[@minutemansam1214]

@@SevenSixTwo2012 No, the pyramids themselves don't actually conform much to constellations. And even if they did, that wouldn't really be unfeasible. It's mathematics that even the Egyptians had.

Hey Metatron, i don't know if you'll see this but i hope you do. When i was younger i watched Ancient Aliens and while i was (mostly) aware that they are full of crap - i realized they actually teach you a lot about all sorts of things such as history, different religions, geography and so on - the show is absolutely rich on "factual information" which they twist in some weird way to link it to aliens and i knew that and i often thought they are ridiculous about some things but i still watched the entire thing because it taught me so much - it also was the spark within me to get me interested in history and such which was one of the small steps that led me towards you and your channel. If i didn't watch AA perhaps i wouldn't have as many questions about history and i'd never start watching channels similar as yours. On top of that - they bring up a lot of interesting stuff thats not been answered by humanity yet and in many ways this could motivate people into going in that sphere which should be a win as well? As for their main theory - the "ancient astronaut" theory - honestly its not even that far fetched and i think scientists should seriously consider this because its very plausible - it is very possible if an advanced alien civilization it exists that it has teams or automated ships that go around planets in the goldilocks zone and help seed those planets or maybe even an AI that analyzes the current species on the planet and chooses who to help -e.g. their theory is that aliens helped monkeys to become human and considering that humans evolved out of monkeys incredibly fast and still nobody knows how it happened - what if its true? even if there's a 0.01% chance that its true its still a chance. If a civilization is advanced enough it may want to populate the universe so they might be doing this on all potential planets not just on planet Earth, the problem is many people think that we're special and the aliens came specifically to us when in reality that doesn't have to be the case. I think the ancient astronaut theory is very interesting and if aliens do exist its even very plausible - perhaps other life wants more life in the universe - the universe is rich in resources and its only our planet where people are fighting for resources but if you're more technologically advanced and can move through space then resources arent your main concern any more and people won't really have a reason to fight each other. Also 10+ years ago space travel was very far fetched but as i write this post i literally have in my feed on the right a video about warp drives - our understanding is rapidly growing and if its possible to bend space and create an actual warp drive then who knows what else is possible? AA has talked about a lot of things and has taught me so much - i've learned about other cultures, their gods, their religions. I didn't know that the indian religion is so crazy and they have all sorts of heroes that fight on spaceships and what not. I didn't know that almost all religions talk about a flood but just describe it differently. Don't take them at face value but they may be onto something.. this isn't "bigfoot" because even if bigfoot is real it barely changes anything - if aliens are real it changes everything. If these ppl are right about a single thing that's still big. Regardless, i found the series entertaining and it kept me going to watch it and i did tune out the "ITS ALIENS" for the most part but man, sometimes i really thought "wow hows that possible if not aliens?"

I personally do enjoy Ancient Aliens. It is a fun program that has introduced me to some great history that inspired me to read about the real history they subsumed. I first heard of Gobleki Tepe on the show. The premise of the show is more entertainment than empirical. It has given platforms for the likes of Randall Carlson, Graham Hancock and Robert Bauval; who have all written fascinating books of ancient history theories (more on lost civilisation than aliens). I see Ancient Aliens as a gateway to interesting topics than a basis for a substantial discourse. The original text of Chariots of the Gods which inspired the series, I read as a young teenager. It opened up a world of history to me and made me question orthodox education in history. Since my teenage years we have seen a lot of revision happen especially in the ancient sphere of academia. Where we once believed civilisation only dated back 4-6000 years we now have evidence that it may well go back 12000 plus. Its why I love history, it is forever evolving and reshaping. Where once we called outside believers crackpots we know herald them as visionaries and leaders. As Heinrich Schliemann was once ridiculed for his belief in Troy then discovered an ancient city on the location described which is still being unearthed and revised. So, yes, History Channel is not academically good. No it is not a good source of evidence. It is great at promoting an interest in history and encouraging others to engage.
