Probing Ancient Aliens

Probing Ancient Alienssoundcloud.com
The History Channel's Ancient Aliens is a divisive show, to say the least, but science (and sci-fi) obsessed nerds, Steve & Joey, are exploring each episode of everyone’s favorite show about Ancient Astronaut Theory with equal parts love and skepticism...as well as the quirky researchers and experts that evangelize it. What has mainstream science debunked about Ancient Aliens in the years since it premiered? And what mysterious aspects of humanity’s origins are still best explained by theorists like Georgios Tsoukalos, Erich von Daniken, and the rest of this passionate crew of explorers?

Aliens & Sacred Places - S3E3

Is Temple Mount, Jerusalem a landing zone for ancient UFO’s? Are the monolithic churches at Lalibela a former storage facility for the nuclear powered Ark of the Covenant? Does the Kaaba in Mecca actually hold a meteorite brought down by an archangel that’s actually a flesh and blood extra terrestrial? While none of these can be confirmed, we do know that all these places are...Koinda Scaaaaaary! I mean...Koinda Saaaaacred! Although they are koinda scary too, being that these are ancient POWER P...

Aliens & Monsters - S3E2

Do dragons exist? Did ancient extraterrestrials hybridize animals to make mythological creatures like the Chimera, the Hydra, the Kraken, and Cerberus? Is the Loch Ness Monster just one of many dinosaurs that survived the extinction event 65 million years ago? Tsoukalos, Childress, Noory, Redfern, and the rest of the ancient astronaut theorist crew sure think so - and Steve & and Joey are here to probe into their logic and proposed evidence, to see if there are any...leaps in logic, shall we...

Aliens & the Old West - S3E1

Aliens abducting cowboys? Ancient Indian Burial Grounds...full of Extra Terrestrials? Tsouks’ gorgeous brown velvet suit?! It’s all here in our discussion of the Season 3 premier of Ancient Aliens, where we’re wranglin’ warped logic and breakin' down Brigham Young and Joseph Smith’s celestial encounters. We also have the first appearance of series regular Nick Redfern, “the Bald Brit,” with his gorgeous gleaming head and killer ear piercing! So let’s get a little Transcendental and probe these c...

Alien Contacts - S2E10

The season 2 finale of the History Channel’s Ancient Aliens is all about Alien Contacts with human beings, past and present...which is exactly what EVERY episode of Ancient Aliens is about! Nevertheless, Steve & Joey probe deep into the Rendlesham Forest incident with US Air Force officers; Moses and the Burning Bush; Joan of Arc and her contact with three “saints,”; the battle of Troy and its subsequent destruction; and the biggest question: are the aliens nudging humanity toward success, o...

Alien Devastations - S2E9

The Great Flood. The End of the Mayan Calendar in 2012. The 2014 Tsunami in Indonesia. Could a bunch of dickhead aliens be trying to “cull the herd” by causing cataclysmic destruction at various times during humanity’s development? Or are they just trying to help us through these apocalyptic events and shepherd us through so-called “genetic bottlenecks?” Steve & Joey don’t really know...and we don’t think the Ancient Astronaut Theorists really do either, in this very wishy washy episode that...

Unexplained Structures - S2E8

Gobleki Tepei, Sacsayhuaman, The Carnac Stones...and even modern marvels like Florida’s Coral Castle: How the f*@! Did ancient humans build these JOY-ANT stone megoliths? How did they carve, move, and place 15 ton blocks, or move 350 ton boulders? I’m not saying it was Aliens...but it wasn’t aliens...at least in some cases. Steve and Joey do some major debunking in the eighth episode of Ancient Aliens second season, with plenty of Tsouks and Childress, and our...seemingly 17 billionth...return t...

Angels & Aliens - S2E7

Angels, Genies, Demons, and other winged humanoids have been one of the most prevalent icons in religious history. Whether its the Hebrew/Christian guardian angel that helped St. Peter out of jail, or the free-willed Djinn that popped out of bottles and granted wishes as they pleased, these supernatural beings have been messengers - or meddlers - between man and the gods throughout human history. But what if they were simply advanced flesh and blood extraterrestrials...or inter-dimensional ULTRA...

Alien Tech - S2E6

Death Rays. Particle Beams. A magical lightning spear wielded by the Celtic god...Lou? Yep, Steve & Joey are boomin’ and blastin’ their way through some of the Ancient Astronaut Theorist’s biggest examples of advanced tech used in our ancient past. Were the walls of Jericho toppled by Ark-powered Acoustic weapons? Did the old timey Syracuse use a solar powered death ray to burn a whole fleet of naval invaders? And what of Acoustic Levitation building the great pyramids of Egypt and the Greek...

Aliens & the Third Reich - S2E5

Adolf Hitler was the most notorious Ancient Astronaut Theorist to ever exist. His sociopathic search for power led him and his Nazi Party down occult and paranormal paths, on a very expensive quest for a technological edge over Europe, and the Allies. Steve and Joey march into battle against the former fuhrer’s obsessions with the Extra Terrestrial roots of the Aryan Race; the occult Vrill Society that just might have been using Hitler more than the other way around; the secret Time Traveling Be...

Underground Aliens - S2E4

Steve & Joey are going deep (literally!) with everyone’s favorite Ancient Astronaut Theorists this episode. They’re spelunking, and debunking subterranean wonders like the Derinkuyu “bunker”; the lairs of the Ant and Snake people in the American Southwest; the advanced “metallic library” within the Ecuadorian Cave of Tayos; the Mayan underworld of Xibalba (Bumpty-Bump!); and the Hollow Earth hole at the North Pole made popular by Jules Verne and his book: Journey to the Center of the Earth. ...

Underwater Worlds - S2E3

The lost city of Atlantis. The Yoniguni pyramid. Dwarka. Lake Titicaca. Earth’s oceans just might be hiding hundreds of ancient cities below the surface, swallowed by the sea as the Ice Age melted and water levels rose, enveloping the coast lines tens of thousands of years ago. Steve and Joey take a deep dive with the Ancient Astronaut theorists into these sub-aquatic discoveries in an episode with tons of great underwater footage and old-ass artifacts; plus, they break down the potential connec...

Gods And Aliens- S2E2

One of the tentpoles of Ancient Astronaut Theory is that those we believe to be “God” or “gods” are actually advanced extraterrestrial beings who’s technology was so advanced to ancient man, that they were perceived to be divine. Steve & Joey go on a spiritual journey while discussing season 2, episode 2 of Ancient Aliens, and ponder whether Zeus, Poseidon, Thor, Odin, Goliath, Hercules, Medusa, and more gods and demigods were actually aliens themselves, or even the product of alien/human br...

Mysterious Places - S2E1

The Bermuda Triangle...the Zone of Silence...Lake Titicaca - All these places, and more, have either reported cases, or legendary claims of interdimensional gateways and wormholes used by the gods; as well as airplane disappearances, electromagnetic spikes, and the World Grid. But are electromagnetic anomalies enough to make these claims? Steve and Joey probe into the first standard length episode of the History Channel’s Ancient Aliens which is all about the strange energy that these mysterious...

The Return - S1E5

Ancient Astronaut Theory posits that aliens have been influencing the growth of humans and Earth for millennia - but where are they? Will they ever come back to visit? Have they actually never left? Steve and Joey probe into the fifth episode of the inaugural season of Ancient Aliens - “The Return” - to dive deep into our researchers’ thoughts on The Battle of Los Angeles, Roswell’s cover-up, The British Ministry of Defense’ secret E.T. division, The increase in UFO sightings since World War II,...

Closer Encounters - S1E4

(Apologies for the audio quality throughout this episode! We almost lost our entire recording before the break, and we could only recover the raw audio in parts, so it’s a bit inconsistent.). Alien Abductions and UFO sightings are one thing...but what about Close Encounters that changed the fate of humanity? Those could only be called: Closer Encounters. Steve & Joey probe deep into our plucky researchers’ commentaries and theories on Sodom and Gomorrah, the Atom Bomb, a DNA Ark for Noah and...

The Mission - S1E3

The Aliens’ mission on Earth is clear...or is it? Steve and Joey get a bit more skeptical on this highly speculative third episode of everyone’s favorite show about Ancient Astronaut Theory. They probe DEEP into Crop Circles, the Band of Holes, Crystal Skulls, Animal Mutilation, and lots of sexy animal/human/alien hybridization.

The Visitors - S1E2

Steve and Joey are abducting and deconstructing the second episode of Ancient Aliens, which is all about the little green men themselves. From the Greys, to the Roswell crash, to Egypt’s Akhenaten, to the Sky People of the Dogon and Zuni, to Alien DNA hiding inside us...and even, to the idea that Extraterrestrials are simply time traveling humans from the future.

The Evidence - S1E1

Ancient Aliens lovers Steve and Joey dive into the double-length pilot episode of everyone’s favorite show about Ancient Astronaut Theory to poke, probe, and dissect what the fascinating and quirky researchers that subscribe to this school of thought have to say about how the Pyramids were built; were the gods just E.T.’s flying on advanced UFOS; and how did our ancestors accomplish this stuff without advanced tech? I’m not saying it’s Aliens...but it was Aliens.
