I want to see an alternate version of the ancient aliens conspiracy where aliens kept showing up and trying to teach ancient humanity how to do things, but all the aliens' ideas are dumb and unworkable. The ancient Egyptians are in the middle of building the pyramids and the aliens are all "You should build it so the pointy end is facing towards the ground, it'll be totally sick" and the pharaoh's all "Zarthaxx, you know what would really help? If you could supervise construction from the other side of the solar system..."

Look, if the pyramid is upside down, the pointy end will go into the sand like a giant dart. That's just basic Zarthaxxian science. The only question is how do you get the pyramid to be upside down? I'm guessing you build it right side up and then, once it's at all together, you build a giant fan and try to blow it over.

When I was unemployed back in the mid two thousands I spent a lot of time watching the History Channel during the day, and the way they would block whole days out to single topics always struck me as a sort of depression trap. So many times I’d be bummed out on the couch flipping through channels, get to History and check the layout for the day and go “Ok, cool, today is all civil engineering stuff, I can lose a few hours mindlessly ingesting this.” Other days would be less cheerful, like all day serial killers or biker gangs. I appreciate all the History content, their journey into being utterly unhinged is magical

Growing up, until 2013, my dad and I would spend weekends afternoons watching the History Channel and H2, because he and I have a shared love of history that my dad was more than happy to help foster in me. It was also a way for us to spend time bonding. I was a kid (under the age of ten) when this was happening, and my dad would make sure we were only watching actual history documentaries. And pawn stars sometimes. There was one time I convinced him to let me watch Ancient Aliens because I was curious, and I remember thinking it was ridiculous. The episode involved Ancient Egypt, and during a commercial break, I remember running upstairs and grabbing my book on Ancient Egypt, which had included real theories as to the construction of the pyramids. My dad and I spent the rest of the episode looking through my middle school level encyclopedia about Ancient Egypt and basically trying to debunk the rest of the episode based on what was in my book. The few times we watched Ancient Aliens after, I would ask my dad to look up the actual facts behind the topic of the episode on his phone to the point that he just handed it to me and let me look it up myself and read off the results to him. I even ended up doing this with the more “historical” episodes, because some of the facts sounded weird to me, or because they contradicted what I was being taught in school. Some of the stuff was true, some of it wasn’t. Now I’m applying to graduate schools and a semester away from getting my BA in History, a large part in thanks to my dad watching the channel with me to foster my interest and implicitly encouraging me to question what I was being shown, a key factor in actual historical research. Thanks History Channel for sucking so much that a literal ten year old could see through you!

@The rates at which crimes happen to natives would only be relevant if the overwhelming majority of blue collar criminality weren’t committed inside of ethnic boundaries; to say there is a crime problem specifically targeting a specific group is also saying that there are more attackers from that group.

I feel the exact same way. While I may not be a full-blown archeologist, I do have an associates degree in anthropology and have a deep love for the study of people, both ancient and modern. The blatant disrespect that the History channel has for the people who work in the field, and by extension the cultures they study, is incredibly disheartening and frustrating. And learning that Dr. Hawass, somebody who clearly has a lot of passion for his work, was hugely misogynistic and difficult to work with is so disheartening.

I'm not joking, literally every year, to the point that we remembered specific scenes or quotes and would yell them out because we'd seen it so many times. I distinctly remember Diddy's cameo and was waiting for you to bring it up, it's so wrong that he was allowed to be in something that lots of kids and teens watched. I thankfully didn't get the ebook, though, that's one thing my school spared us of.

That said, bear in mind that a lot of those WW2 documentaries are loaded with outdated information and stuff made up by wartime German propaganda, Holocaust deniers, and just bad history. Stuff like "the harsh Soviet winter stopped the German advance!" (it was actually terrible logistics and bad planning on the part of the Germans) and "the Germans had the best tanks of the war!" (they were playing catch up for most of the war in terms of tank design to the Allied and Soviet powers and were hilariously inefficient) and the myth of the "clean Wehrmacht". These are just a few of the generalizations I can think of, and only from the German side. It's still hand over fist better than our History channel trying to claim that Aliens were whispering in Hitler's ear in exchange for the vrill power generated by the Spear of Destiny or some such garbage, but always take those documentaries with a pinch of salt.

Sounds full of gay. War documentaries are for emotionally stunted pansies who want to hear about other people suffer and feed off tragedy and negativity. People who show an interest in this stuff are what keep wars going and line Lockheed Martins pockets. If you don't like or agree with what im saying you are probably guilty of this, usually either a child or an adult who was born in the image of satan and has no connection or understanding of human beings or animals. The gay planes they were flying to massacre people are not going to give you the answers you desire. You will probably never find them if you were born a degenerate. There is hope though. Maybe you will come across a human being one day, and they can show you how to think in ways that improves your mental and physical health, and bullshit detecting skills. However these are usually futile attempts on the humans part, because the degenerate WANTS to be shrouded in negativity and confusion, because they were born this way, so they will never be fully cured of liking fully rigged sociopathic manipulation tactics and gay planes that massacre people piloted by self loathing demons who were responsible and willing to end the lives of thousands of innocent people wrapped up as the illusion of protecting their country.

As someone who grew up watching Animal Planet and Discovery, and was there for the painful transition between education and reality shows, I sympathize so hard with old-school History Channel fans. Network decay is so painful. People like to point to MTV not showing videos as the ultimate example of network decay, but I think the best example (by which I mean worst case) of this is all the formerly educational channels peddling bs-even if they claim "it's all entertainment!", lots of people don't bother to further question the things they see, they just know that this is a channel that at some point was credible and thus think the newer stuff must be real too. Not to mention how often such programming often veers into destruction of history or promotion of conspiracies (see Quinton Reviews' series on History Channel). At least MTV no longer promoting music is just annoying, not actually harmful.

My primary issue is that ancient aliens holds up Danniken’s “chariots of the gods” as a sort of show Bible. Danniken was a convicted felon and the book was extensively rewritten by his editor Wilhelm Utermann who was not just a Neo-Nazi but like an actual Nazi as in he edited the Nazi party’s official newspaper during the height of World War 2. In short ancient aliens while at surface level can be seen as harmless and weird fringe content, upon closer inspection parrots and sanitizes a lot of the esoteric beliefs that made up Nazism’s more obscure idealogical tangents. From world ice theory to hyper diffusion.

@@Drewdapew most of this stuff I picked up on while writing an undergraduate thesis on how Nazism and the German volkish movement affected the study of archaeology . That being said if you are interested in content that debunks pseudo archaeology I’d recommend Miniminuteman on KZbin he has some very good long form videos that are well researched, written and edited debunking this type of stuff. I believe he actually talked about world ice theory and hyper diffusion when debunking a bunch of tik toks by this guy named Filip Zieba, and I believe he also approaches this topic in his critique of Graham Hancock’s Ancient Apocalypse documentary series (this series falls into many of the same conspiratorial pipelines as ancient aliens does)

I once wrote a paper at university about dramatization of historical events used for teaching purposes using "Midnight Express" as an example. Great movie, horrible thing that happened to Billy Hayes, but significant parts of it were made up to keep the narrative flow of the movie and changed how he escaped from prison to give it a mirrored ending in order to match the opening sequence. I justified it as for the curious about the situation, Hayes's treatment did show how horrible Turkish prisons are and how gross their justice system can be for wanting to push a life sentence on him for a drug offense whilst much of the story elements changed didn't come across as propagandising or blatant disinformation about the broad story. What THC does though, that's just spreading misinformation at best and disinformation at worst. I remember in high school they were so obsessed with WWII my friend called it The Hitler Channel and the rise of Ancient Aliens was just creationism via scientology.

I also think there's a big difference between a movie based on real events but ultimately emphasizing entertainment and something being shown on a channel claiming to be educational. Like when I watching the tv show Chernobyl, I'm assuming while the general events may be mostly in line with what really happened, at the end of the day it's a drama and I'm not going to take it is as fact. But if I was watching a documentary on the Chernobyl disaster, I would expect it to be accurate, or at least as accurate as it can be based on the available information. So when a channel presents itself as educational, people are going to expect a level of accuracy, and the channel should hold itself to a higher standard in that regard. Discovery Channel and history channel both of guilty of failing to meet that standard. Animal planet is guilty of this as well but I think is a little better about the ratio, probably because "animals being cute and awesome" is much easier to market without having to make stuff up.

I forget the name of the episode, but my favorite episode of "Ancient Aliens" is a whole episode concentrating on Erik Von Danniken. He outright says it is just a theory and that he is a practicing Catholic and all he did in "Chariots of the Gods" is ask questions. What makes the episode hilarious is Von Danniken is sincerely saying that it is just a theory......then it goes to the other "experts" and they are extreme about the Ancient Astronaut Theory. It is so evident they were never shown the footage of what Von Danniken said.

This dude came up and used the 'cathedral' tactic (talking to big groups) to explain how dinos and humans lived together and how the earth is only a few 100,000 years old. When he was done, I got up, shut my powerpoint off and it turned into a science and history class. Had to use evidence and background on scientists and what not. Dude was pissed when I said we believe in God but are and shouldn’t be blind to the science God has provided us with through people He has blessed. Dude never came back.

In the context that YHWH was a sun god, it makes perfect sense that ancient people would believe that the sun came and went once per day, rather than the earth spinning and getting to view the sun once per day. Im not here to defend christian science or whatever. Im just pointing out that the bible has a lot to offer when you treat it as poetry and dont nitpick the details, nor treat them as objective declarations about the nature of reality. If you can read the bible as "a highly edited version of the philosophical musings of dozens of spiritual people" then you can gain as much from it as other religions.

So... that scene in the opening first few minutes... Do people really think a captured Bigfoot would be slamming his fists on the inside of his cage like we've seen happen in so many movies?

It's kind of crazy just how ahistorical so much of their programming was, even the stuff that was actually meant to educate.

They sometimes show "historical" movies like "2001 A Space Odyssey"... No jokes...

Absolutely not the history channel is that only 100% reliable, undoubtedly trustworthy source in the modern age. They are bound - both by god and by law - to show the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth on their REALITY shows. (I mean, duh, otherwise they'd be called NOTreality shows. )
