The Idiocy, Fabrications and Lies of Ancient Aliens

The Idiocy, Fabrications and Lies of Ancient Aliens | Dinosaur Tracking: "Until now, I have assiduously avoided Ancient Aliens. I had a feeling that if I watched the show—which popularizes far-fetched, evidence-free idiocy about how human history has been molded by extra-terrestrial visitors—my brain would jostle its way out of my skull and stalk the earth in search of a kinder host. Or, at the very least, watching the show would kill about as many brain cells as a weekend bender in Las Vegas. But then I heard the History Channel’s slurry of pseudoscience had taken on dinosaurs. I steeled myself for the pain and watched the mind-melting madness unfold."

  1. And? I found this episode to be as ridiculous as the rest of the series. Especially with the scientific data that is around that does back up the original extinction theory. My roommate unfortunately seems to believe this show is like the gospel, and there are some things that they talk about that are a little outside of our understanding. Like Puma Punku, but imagine how much more time man hand to use without all of out distractions. Like you I had to see what this episode was like so I used my sling adapter to stream the episode to my phone while I was waiting for my bus after work. One of my coworkers at Dish saw what I was watching and had obviously seen the episode because he was raving about the theories they were putting forth, it was at that point I lost hope for humanity and went through the Dish Remote Access app and deleted all the recordings on my DVR, tols the roommate it was either a glitch or ancient aliens.
