The Decline of History Channel 

I can imagine you saying this completely stone faced.

love u quinton

Oh my word welcome to my life! Subscribed *

How about you follow up with an episode about bigfoot titties.

YES to Bigfoot video!

Question: Know Sci Man Dan, the Science Man?

And apparently languages and writing are bonkers as well. Because which culture has writing, am I right fellas?

All religion is basically just one kid asks where people go when they die and people have to make up a story for it, but because countless generations pass everyone forgets it's fake and just buys it unironically. "You see, Billy, when we die there's a god and..." "What is it?" "Oh, it's... ehh... a sky snake? Sure. And it carries your soul in its mouth to heaven, where everything is good." Ancient Aliens: "IS THIS FLYING SERPENT MISUNDERSTOOD TECHNOLOGY?!" "You see, these ancient people were being abducted and instead of giving any specifics or details around that at all they all just chose to describe UFOs as sky serpents!"

Yesssss

@@AgentSteffi nah, it’s people trying to interpret what the Egyptian wrote on the walls

So they’ve taken over the schools to say that aliens don’t exist? Nice try big Bigfoot industry! Your lies will be exposed!

Lol, that's immediately what I thought of too. My arch prof *immediately* brought up Ancient Aliens and spent like a whole class session on how it's incredibly racist.

In the archaeology class I was in we'd sometimes troll the professor by asking him obviously stupid questions like "are those the temples where the ufo's landed?"

Good professor.

One little thing to add: one of my collage professors was on this show. Her name was prof Sabina Maggliocco. She teaches anthropology and folklore studies.

@@ramenlover1727 true, I watched the season finale of like sesson 2 and a woman whos father and friends found the gold brought it home and made them rich brought proof and said there is no more was discredited and they are still digging and have found nothing. Like the ark of the covenant is more likely in the vatican than some random island with a weird chamber.

They all became a biker gang. There's a show about them on tv.

@Tiago Ferreira sad but true lol.

@Tiago Ferreira they give off a certain energy. Obviously Mayans had help from ancient astronauts to build motorcycles and learn to drive them.

Same thing happened in Wonder Woman 2. They too claimed the Mayans has vanished mysteriously lol

21:27 for timestamp and exactly what I was yelling in my brain! How on earth can you argue humans are incapable of coming up with writing, when humans literally came up with writing. 😑😑😑

Don't they claim it's aliens? Isn't that the whole point?

@@RillianGrant Well we see languages develop on their own even in the modern day. Like you could use just images of memes to communicate if you really wanted to, so saying aliens developed language (especially one as stupid as English) it's silly

​@@RillianGrant How did the aliens get writing? Other aliens?

Exactly. If anything, had the aliens visited us and had they shared their speaking and writing language with us, would we all collectively have a similar speaking and writing style than the rest of the world? If not the same style? Are this guys implying that the aliens purposely taught us different languages in different locations? Or that the earth was visited by multiple alien species, all with their own language and typography? This show really destroys anyone's brain

Train guy is out here living his best life

As a fellow autistic person, i agree.

i just wanna be train guy. kool public transportation is dooooope

PREACH

Except for the moon landing one, that one has been proven false “Adam Ruins Everything: Why the Moon Landing Couldn’t Have Been Faked”

Most popular conspiracy theories can be and have been proven wrong - the hard part is getting believers to accept the proof as anything other than fabrications that prove the existence of a cover-up.

@@youradhere3476 point taken

@@youradhere3476 Unfortunately, our brains are actually very good at going through hoops just to prove ourselves right. You prove them wrong and they instantly come up with another conspiracy for how you can disprove that conspiracy. Suddenly you’re a government agent or something like that. Tom Scott talks about that in his very short video on the Bielefeld conspiracy.

That's what makes the burden of proof so important. It's their job to prove their nonsense is true, not your job to prove it isn't.

What episode is it

There was a time they called Shiva an alien and when they asked the locals they didn't get a response, instead she just passive aggressively stared at them.

@@karanaher5030 is y you ffyy

What you think stupid humans really invented sushi? PERHAPS impossible.

Lol for aliens that supposedly created humans that seems so beneath them

Good quote.

@@timmyturner327 a quote from a leftist too. good stuff.

I mean, If one is relying on TV to get their history then there is already some major problems going on...

@Gupster 23 Don't worry 95% of the people who use the term "orwellian" haven't either. Which really sucks for Orwell because he hated conservatives (the ones constantly using the term nowadays) and terms that are used to cover broad ideas without adding much descriptive value. And yes, I have learned more about Orwell himself than his works (I did read Animal Farm though, 6/10.)

As true as it ever was.

I remember my 6th grade history teach out on a documentary about a frozen caveman found in ice once. In one of the clips one of the archeologists is seen carelessly tossing an artifact to the side (it ended up broken) and I remember my teacher pausing the video to tell us a real archeologist would never do something like that

Imho they've done nothing to sites of significant worth.

@@jlirving I mean who are you to decide what a site of significant worth is? To archeologists, it's ALL important.

@@Amberrogers Sometimes a rock is just a rock. It's ludicrous all these simps are acting like they're running around defiling the next Rosetta Stone. I don't think some stupid show has done THAT much damage, happy to be wrong I think it's just being blown out of proportion.

@@jlirving but at archeologically important sites that are still being excavated and worked on, literally everything is important

Also a geologist. My guess is experts like the geo guy was giving sensible answers (such as living creatures and inorganic rock are made up of elements that originated early in the history of the universe) but the 5 second clip is taken from that interview and mashed into the show.

@@JamesWillmus I believe the same thing, they just over edit and take out of context whatever they want to make their program more "watchable" instead of factual.

@@NeODeLeuX Quite a few scientists of various stripes have come out saying that Ancient Aliens completely removed the context of their comments to make it look like they agreed with the theory.

This is hilarious

Wait until you find out about 2023/4 Quinton

In his profession. Having a show portray him like that. Can have many doors closed on him. Those jobs are very serious. Base on fact. And revising old information that needs to be changed. That's really messed up.

@mule vpn Is not threatening people, is not being taking seriously and not because you don't conform, but because you are tied to a show that contradicts all the ethics in your profession. Academics have to adhere to very high standards of honesty (always citing your sources, not making unfounded claims, not presenting opinions as facts) and these shows spit on those standards often be if not outright lying, bending the truth or misrepresenting opinions to fit their narrative, so of course institutions are weary of people who appear in those shows. To put into perspective if like saying that being weary of contracting a known unrrepented fraudster as an account is discrimination.

mule vpn I imagine not that much.

I love the crazy guy with the weird hair so crazy yet so funny

​@mule vpn So experts shouldn't have standards and accountability? I am not sure what your premise is.

Honestly the new agers are like the Conquistadors. They bastardize and destroy everything they see and touch. Same with conspiracy nutters.

Volleyball will mean some serious shit in a couple hundred years

@@bernebelmont1857 you see, the ball represents the spirit of the earth, while the net represents string theory. The ritual of volleyball is used to symbolise the passage of time as the planets move around the space-time net and hit humans (representations of ancient aliens) who play will the ball to represent how aliens(human players) play with humans (volleyball)

Aztecs: "Oh boy‚ playing this ball game sure is fun. I just hope we don't lose and get sacrificed to the gods".

Ok, not to lend credence to the A L I E N S at all, but it's not a stretch to say ball game = just innocuous fun overlooks things. The Popol Vuh, the text that recounts the quasi-historical/mythological story of the K'iche' people, one of the Maya peoples, links the ball game to human sacrifice. The Myth of the Hero Twins links the game to death as well. And there have been compelling arguments that the game was played to avoid or as proxy warfare, or a rigged game might be played against prisoners of war leading to execution. I will not pretend I am an expert by any means and as Quentin points out, we should be skeptical of biases, but the general modern archeological consensus would give the ball game more signifigance than just a game. I will absolutely back down if someone wants to come at me with some decent evidence to the contrary, or point out biases from the translators. The real issue is Ancient Aliens seeing "x item that has cultural signifigance" and claiming that aliens out here because they have a belief system at all.

That's kinda what bothers me more about the show 😅 There's artifacts showing people were settling/trading there well before Columbus was born, fundamentally challenging the traditional story of the New World's discovery. But no, let's focus on a hypothetical pile of gold 😑

@@ZeroGDucks to be fair, they do put those Artifacts into the oak island museum, but they don't focus on that part of history. At the very least they've attempted to be far less destructive than the last people who were looking for treasure.

Holy shit, it's that same show my father likes unironically! He didn't stop watching I know!

Ancient Humans confirmed

But where did the other OTHER aliens get theirs???

Okay. So many people that have PHDs that actually go to these locations and made this stuff their life’s work have started to lean towards at least some of the stuff the show is saying, even more so today. This is outside of the show. Also stone masons, engineers, mathematicians, etc. say this stuff goes beyond just “people had time” or imaginations. But hey watching this stuff as a student gives you peace so my comments here are self explanatory by this point.

looks like you offended the racist alienologist

it's also blatantly untrue, most rocks are made from silicates and metal oxides, and living things are mostly made from carbon oxygen hidrogen and nitrogen. yes we have trace minerals like iron and calcium but it's not like you can rearrange a rock into a living thing or viceversa.

@@santiagoo.8958 it’s crazy how people will just believe it too.

@@santiagoo.8958 Indeed, save for oxygen there is very little crossover with Aluminium, oxygen and silicon being the most abundant element in the earths crust, while we have carbon, hydrogen and (can't remember if it oxygen, nitrogen, but oxygen makes me think it makes more sense)

Yeah I caught that - truly ridiculous. We're all made of atoms...therefore, everything made of atoms is like us - alive! 🤦

@@sorryifoldcomment8596 that’s how you lie to folks.

@My names Jeff You also don't go to the history channel for history.

For real. So so many ancient cultures were wildly advanced, especially when comparing them to what we were taught in school and on the History channel.

@@mothsanchez944 yep. Like the fact that we weren’t just hunter gatherers 1200 years ago, we were building pyramids

@@KristinkaAranova uhh, 1200 years ago means 800 A.D. at the Viking age (or early middle ages, dark ages it's essentially the same) lol

That "show" is 100% racist and stupid.

How would any non-Jewish person be expecred to know? If Chinese was printed backwards, would YOU know it?

I was really into history growing up, so I loved those books back when I was younger! I don't remember them all now well enough to name many specific ones, or say how accurate they were, but I do think they helped me to learn more about the different perspectives of history that are often ignored in our textbooks. I think those were the first time I'd ever heard about residential schools.

​​@@luismarioguerrerosanchez4747 Mao Zedong was "complicated" and certainly brilliant. Stalin was "complicated and brilliant". Henry VIII was "complicated and brilliant". COMPLICATED, BRILLIANT PEOPLE ARE STILL MASS MURDERERS. THESE PEOPLE HAD THE POWER TO COMMIT GENOCIDE AND THEY DID IT. They killed MILLIONS of people with their policies. there's little complexity here except the fact they were human. I fucking hate Ancient Aliens. as an anthropology student, it makes my life so damn hard and we have to constantly combat not academics, but mass media and non-academics who like to demonize what we do. We only focus on what we can prove with absolute certainty, like Quinton says - and all of this mass media crap hiding the perfectly reasonable science is incredibly racist to people of colour.

@@luismarioguerrerosanchez4747 most people are complicated

@@ciphergacha9100 *Everyone is. If you live long enough to make it to adulthood, yet alone become recognizable enough to be in a history book, you got a lot of interesting (and horrifying) stuff going on. Hell, we can even look at Hitler's upbringing and see the reasons for his beliefs.

Or it would be, if not for the fact the reasoning behind the assumption is “these people were way too stupid to have done any of this on their own! Obviously their gods were just aliens who built all this stuff for them for some reason.”

It is truly the equivalent of the "bruh you're hacking" accusation in a video game or "obvious Photoshop" comment when you post a thirst trap pic on Instagram

@@RankStankulon And that's why we have watermarks these days

I would watch a show about that.

Now that is interesting.

If it was the one on the discovery channel i used to watch the shit out of that.

I read this article by this guy who said one of those paranormal shows ruined his life. I believe it was the show A Haunting or something like that. His family just had the usual strange bumps in the night, nothing's special. But they called the show and they agreed to come. So the people working for the show made up a lot of crazy stuff. They basically made the guy into a satanist and people in his town never looked at him the same. I'll have to see if I can find that article

Wait whats the shows name?

Aw, that's a sad mystery :(

Ecco, gli alieni sardi mi mancavano

I live in Sardinia and watched that episode! It's weird to see them speculate on an argument that I'm more familiar with, they really can slip aliens into anything eh 😂

Oh my god this makes me so angry because if they did actually good reporting on this history they could make a vested interest in Sardinian history which I have never once seen in a history book ever not even a history book about Italy. They could have gotten more funding and expertise to uncover more of the history but instead they decided hah aliens and robbed us of making actual historical discoveries

dio can

"Crazy hair guy "how dare you sir the man's name is Giorgio

No, the conspiracy theories about that are just the opposite, they like to say *Jesus* is just "rah" or "amun" or whatever crap in disguise. So you've got it a bit backwards with your analogy here...

@@erkl8823 So they just debunk any original religious figure of an indigenous race has with their own interstellar belief, right? Still sounds disingenuous of something from a supposed "History" Channel.

And what's worse is that they didn't bring with them seismographs or Geiger counters or anything of the sort to determine what kind of energy are they picking up. But then again, that would be too much work on their part.

ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-DM-UnV9TEzY.html

Yep, I think you've decoded wacko speak. Besides, "energy" can mean anything they want it to mean, and to the rubes they're trying to convince it sounds good.

@Ueu Ch. Haha. Exactly!

@Ueu Ch. The funniest thing is that they actually did this, I still remember their episode of the wizard merlin being an alien

Sadly, the meme actually said "couldn't make it". Your version is the most correct, the original was really dumb.

There are plenty of things white people have made that are so ahead of their time people have pondered whether aliens were involved with it.

@@thaconnection8201 but people speculate that the pyramids came from aliens but did white people make that. No people of all colours have made and produced things that look futuristic, not just white people

I'm just disgusted, I was kinda mad at my neighbours when I was a kid because they sometimes took pieces of ancient cargo amphoras and shards of medieval pottery from their fields when they were ploughing them.

@@FukaiKokoro There are. Enforcing them is the difficult part.

I feel so validated, and also maybe am an alien plant👽

Was full expecting that they'd explain a phenomenon of stones or rocks moving in the right conditions (as some do in certain desserts). Therefore, creating a mythology by the people and then modern day people interpreting this in the modern day. But nah. Fucking aliens 😂😂

@@maqsoodhassan8978 Did they prove rocks move in the desert due to a quick flood that pushes the rocks along, then dries up and makes it look like they move by themselves? I remember hearing that as a theory, but I don't know if it was proven.

Also, you can decapitate a rock

@@LnPPersonified Close but not quite, you need a flood that doesn't cover the rocks which then needs to freeze, the ice floats and slightly lifts up the rocks then the wind pushes them.

Hot Take: Rob Liefeld was actually appropriating ancient civilization's art all along

lennongrad13 every culture has their ancient people people are just in cultures that’s all

Fuego ! Yeah but my point is people tend to act like the Aztecs and Mayans are ancient civilizations when in reality the Aztecs were a fairly new empire when Cortez arrived and the Mayans reached their height around the same time as the Viking Age was happening in Europe. If we call them ancient then we should call Queen Elizabeth I the Queen of Ancient England.

It's because they were one of the first civilizations of that region, so it's ancient. By the way i'm race mixed.

Magda Villafuerte they’re not though. The Olmecs are the earliest known Mesoamerican civilization dating back all the way to the 13th century BCE.

@@lennongrad13 thr culture of cortez isnt ancient. It still exists. The culture and people of the aztecs incans etc are ancient. They no longer exist. Cortez himself is indeed an ancient historical figure. Never seen anyone object to that statement.

To be fair, it is believed that writing was independently created only four times in human history. In Sumer, Egypt, China and Mesoamerica. All other writing system are variations from these original ones in some way. Though to be fair fair, according to wikipedia, RongoRongo is one of 3 other writing system that are suspected to have also been independently created, though we aren't sure because it hasn't been deciphered.

and build a sewer system

They probably traveled decades/centuries assuming they can get near light speed. Would make sense to mess around a little bit with the monkeys.

They were trolling.

It's like the Peace Corps, but from outer space. The aliens were doing it for college credit.

Yeah and even put human remains in many of them (instead of extraterrestrial ones). Not to mention the tons of tools and even depictions of people building up their lives.

I was similar. I wanted to see the frescoes and interesting building structures and different religious iconography etc, and for a long time, shows like this were the only way I could do it. Even then I largely ignored the presenting person; for episodes I'd seen before I'd often mute the tv and just look at the video.

Yeah thanksh, I'm really pished now zzzzzzzzz

The worst part is that they just flat out lie, A LOT. I'm a historian and it's my passion and job to study history and boy oh boy do they get me riled. They do everything they can do make it seem like every culture worships gods that came from the sky in some sort of vehicle like a chariot or whatnot. I love watching the show because it is just so dumb, but sometimes it actually depresses me to think people really believe that shite

Holy shit watch their episode or mini documentary about how king Tut died. i fell asleep like 15 min in because they kept repeating "could this be how he died? we can't know for certain, but maybe... there's another explanation." the entire time

You forgot that they refer to them not as aliens but rather as "ancient astronauts" and these people aren't called UFO nuts, but rather " ancient astronaut theorists".

There's a really good 2-hours long video debunking the whole thing. Basically, ancient people were just as smart as us and could figure things out, even if they might not have had the full science.

@@ArninoStorm got a link to that debunking vid? I wanna see it

Actually, they said the same things about European peoples. If anything that show is a complete insult to the entire capacity of human ingenuity, and ambition and at some point it will piss you off.

especially cause modern day math is generally agreed to have not been invented by Europeans (assuming I've been taught correctly)

@@skeleletonboi4533 It’s a bit more complicated than “some culture invented modern math.” Modern mathematics, like every broad field of human endeavor, is the end-result of centuries upon centuries of cultures building off of the achievements of the ones before them, information spreading via many means (usually trade or religious missionaries) and being tinkered with by numerous individuals. Modern mathematics can be traced back to the mathematics of the Ancient World, which was collated by Greek mathematicians working off of what Mesopotamian and Egyptian civilizations developed, adding some of their own improvements and ideas. Following the collapse of the Roman Empire, many of the Greco-Roman mathematical treatises would eventually be translated into Arabic and Persian, where the next major phase of mathematics began. Critical to this was a breakthrough development of the concept of zero by the people of India, sometime shortly before or after the beginning of the first century AD. Arab merchants realizing the usefulness of the numeral for trade and calculations, it then spread around the Muslim World throughout the Middle Ages, and at some point in the later Middle Ages the improvements made by scholars throughout the Muslim world were introduced to Europe via Spain, Italy and France. Then next major phase in the proper study of mathematics then began, with various influential mathematicians such as Descartes and Newton making significant strides. For most of the 17th-19th centuries most significant mathematical breakthroughs were the product of the labors of European or American mathematicians, but since the start of the 20th century nearly everywhere with a halfway decent education system produces mathematicians who continuously work together in the common goal of advancing the study of mathematics and how they can be used to further other areas of study.

@@mojavefry2617 I suppose a lot of that comes down to who happens to be the global hegemon at the time; you've a lot more spare time to think about non-essential things like math when you have a economically powerful, wealthy society that doesn't necessarily need your labor specifically to continue - it's a lot easier for some rich British empire type to sit around Oxford solving theoretical problems than some contemporaneous subject of that empire, who must work like a slave merely to survive - and to provide the luxury that the former person enjoys. Greece and Rome being comparitively economically developed and well equipped compared to, say, Germanic hunter-gatherers allowed more labor to be spent thinking, rather than looking for food. Then of course intercontinental trade took off and the Islamic golden age began, allowing them to develop algebra (the clue's in the name) and other concepts. It reminds me of a line from one of Bertolt Brecht's songs "What Keeps Mankind Alive?" about the struggle for survival of the working classes: "Erst kommt das Fressen, dann kommt die Moral", which basically translates to "First feed us, then you can talk about morality"

@@t.s9021 That does seem true to a large degree, but it doesn’t really explain everything. A lot of great mathematical breakthroughs from the Greek world came about during times of incredible upheaval in the wake of the Wars of the Successors (the century of fighting between Alexander’s generals and their descendants). Archimedes made his great breakthroughs when his homeland was in the midst of civil war, and later Roman conquest. Most examples not from early modern Europe don’t have the same context of most of the war happening away from home. So while it is indeed part of the answer, it does not answer every question of “why x developments in y location at z point in history.”

I used to love watching Mail Call with R. Lee Ermey back in the day though.

Thank you! I don't get why it's so hard for people to wrap their head around this! People had so much more time back then unlike today where people have to commute to work, work for 8 or more hours, than be dead tired at home most of the time.

People seem to have a really hard time understanding that humans aren't actually all that much _smarter_ than we were 2000 years ago. Like, biologically, neurologically, our brains are not that much more complex or developed than our (relatively) recent ancestors--but the vastly greater repository of common knowledge available to us tricks us into thinking that we are.

I love that, i think it was Pierre Montet, egyptologist. Wrote about life cycle of average peasant and he said, that after the Nyle flooded there was usually nothing to do till the harvesting, so they could do like anything, like build a big pyramid of Chofu, I like reading about its construction: almost 30 years in construction, arround 20 thousand people in a specially builded work-town where they were living with they families. They were working 10 hours a day, placing big blocks (2m to 3m if i remember correctly) every 2 minutes, and they were transporting them from a quarry placed several kilometers and there was a problem, how to transport them to Giza? where there were no river, they found a solution; just hire some guys and tell them to place water before guys who were transporting blocks, there were also a improvement but that was during Chofu son reign: Making a artifical chills and getting blocks to top of them, and they were sliding from the chill. Ok, so you have all this strict system which was possible mainly because there was food and centralised power in person of Pharaoh, and there is a pyramid of Chofu which when finished contained arround 2 million blocks... holy shit, it does impress me today, its amazing that people contstruted this 5 thousand year ago Ps. Chofu is the correct way of the name Cheops (Which was called like this by good guy Herodotus) so i have heard Also, check out "Pomeranian culture" and check out their Urns, you will thank me later And i could talk about this for like a hours, but the things was different in different places like in ancient Mesopotamia people had lots of things to do even in aggrocultural sector, because the Tigris and Eufrat used to flood a lot, but not like in Egypt where the flood had bringed lifefull soil. In mesopotamian the flood could easily destroy all farms (and it once did, which inspired the biblical tale of flood, check out Gilgamesh tale about flood, it was also confirmed by archeological evidence that there was some kind of huge flood in several cities: Ur, Szukpar) So, in order to prevent floods, Mesopotamians had to build endless cannals, and floodgates which maintaince costs a lot and it was important to keep them in good condition. So it depends, and i dont think the ancient civilizations had that much of free time, i mean it depends like i said egyptian farmer most of time had pretty much nothing to do expect praising the actual prima dei

You mean "gasp" they had brains? They must have received brains from ancient astronauts.

To sum up, the only reason we think we’re smarter than ancient people is because they figured everything out for us.

You don't? Damn

FCC should require that they are spreading misinformation but then again it’s viewers would only double down

You, sir, win the internet.

HA

221 B I can’t get over how funny this joke is 😂😂😂

So that's it, huh? We some kinda Ancient Aliens?

"Im not saying its vodka, but, its vodka" -Aliens Guy

I'd be worried for the aliens....

@@orsonzedd agreed... because these are the dumb ones who didn't heed the warning signs on the edge of our solar system saying to stay away from the dumb bipeds

Well the feds recently confirmed the existence of UFOs, so...

I think it would be both

KnoxCarbon UFOs doesn’t automatically mean aliens. It just means we don’t immediately know what it was, you know, unidentified flying object.

you could still call it the Hitler channel since the ancient aliens show is eerily similar to crackpot nazi archeology, they basically tried to prove that the ancient aryans were the cause of many ancient civilizations and that aryans were the superior culture and race, one of the leading nazi archeologists Alfred Rosenberg even believed that the aryans originated on atlantis, so if you replace aryan with aliens you could publish a history channel episode trying to argue for Alfreds wild theories

Remember when you learned something from watching the learning channel

@@NugsSlugsBugs Ancient Aliens Ancient Aryans It rhymes, so it has to be true.

I hope you saw the video he just uploaded

We called the Nazi channel for the same reason - it was the days before Fox ....bah boom!

No, I don’t think you quiet understand broseph... They didn’t construct the damns, aqueducts, temples, shrines, houses, farmlands or roads either. That was all aliens too.

Nicodemus Edwards shiiieeeeeet

No, wait. But what if... humans are more complex than we've originally thought in the past and have created cultures and communities for as long as we've been around, and that we have to face the fact that just because we can make bigger buildings with metal doesn't invalidate how these people were able to make complex structures and systems of governments with very limited knowledge and resources? Naw, that's stupid. Gotta be fucking aliens, I guess.

And the sad thing is, those aliens couldn't even make those things straight or even. you would think with all their advanced technology though should have done better!

Basically the theories boil down to 'Humans can't make achievements on their own, everything is aliens, yatta yatta' Every single culture and group on this planet has had great achievements, events, aspects, and people you'd call heroes or legends And that continues even into our current time of Twitter hell holes and corrupted poltics The idea that aliens are the ones who build pretty much every little wonder that humans have built, like the prymaids of central america and Egypt, Stonehenge, probably Jerusalem, and the wonders of the ancient world, many of which were destroyed due to time and wars Is just so self hating and stupid

This is exactly what I was thinking!

@@sorryifoldcomment8596 It's a very common mistake that these people seem to make. They assume you need advanced technology to do anything big when all it really takes is LOTS of hard work.

It's not even clever speculation, just take literally anything and say "BUT COULD THE NATIVES HAVE REALLY DONE/THOUGHT OF THIS THING???" Dude walks into a church. "Local historians say this building was erected in the 1600s, but could ancient man have really crafted such a thing without the aid of modern technology? How would they have even gotten high enough to paint this mural on the ceiling? Could the workers have used some form of levitation machine?" Hard cut to an actual historian: "Yeah, so they just used a really big ladder and worked on this piece for months, if you look closely you can actually see where the painter missed a stroke and accidentally got paint on a side pillar."

@@dracocrusher The cathedral where I live took almost 100 (!!) years to build, so buildings like that really did take a long ass time. The craftsmanship is astonishing though

But the ancient aliens fanboys will say , its a different alien that visit earth in the past 😣

I do so hope the aliens are trolls who show up and claim the most bizarre things are all true, even if they conflict with each other, then just leave and never come back. "Oh yeah, Scientology is real, but we're actually the Roman gods except for Jupiter. Jupiter it actually the collected psychic energy of the Bigfoot species made manifest by crystals in Atlantis that we provided before they sank themselves in an attempt to avoid developing 5G too early in your planet's development. If they hadn't, every human would have melted in 2012 and their spirits would have been trapped in a comet for all eternity."

Burden of proof fallacy at its best

@@KertaDrake Comments like these are the reason I go to the comments.

But all the alien believers will either say they are lying or that it was aliens from another planet who visited in the past.

Throwback to when the government literally admitted aliens might be real and they're still looking into it and we barely noticed lol

I would tolerate this if all those channels offered their old shows on DVD. I used to sit my ass down on a weekend for a Great Books Marathon on TLC. Hell my favourite dramatization of The Great Gatsby is the Great Books version.

15 (F-I-F-T-E-E-N!!!) seasons of ancient aliens?! Ugh, that’s depressing.

Stop watching tv..

@@cooladam2167 That’s what i did. A 36 hour bout of insomnia and the inability to flip through all my cable channels every hour of those 36 without finding another storage auction show episode was the proverbial straw.

Well you never learned anything on tlc

“This looks strange! This might be made by Aliens!”

"Could it be, that penis in this 'anime waifu' is not an actual penis, but a misinterpretation of alien technology? As you know, the people of the 21st century were not advanced enough to come up with dickgirls, so is it possible that this is the result of a visitation by extraterrestrial beings?"

Lol but what if people thought that their pp parts were the cause of everyone being abducted by aliens and been tested on?

Furry porn is refer as "Ancient god literacy" and all the weird fetishes symbolize the creation of random bullshit. Technically, Egyptian god are a furry, so it's fine i guess.

@The Very Edgy Yoshi The funny thing is that "2D women" being an object of desire is not far from being historical. Don't quote me on this one, but I remember that a lot of ancient tribes and civilizations idolized goddesses of love, sex, and fertility that had exaggerated features, like massive breasts and being comically plump (I say comically plump and not obese, because it's less like a fat person and more like a videogame character that had it's "thickness" value set really high)

Very funny.

That is why I hate the history Channel now. All shows like that.

Random Joe: “I have, in my possession, the original signed Declaration of Independence, signed by all the members of Congress serving at that time.” Rick Harris: “Wow, that’s really cool. You know, not many of these exist and this is the first time I’ve seen one in person. Are you looking to pawn or sell it?” Joe: “I’d like to sell it.” Rick: “How much are you looking to get?” Joe: “I’d like $50 million.” Rick: “Oof, well that’s a little steep….You know, I got a guy, who conveniently lives down the street, and isn’t doing shit, who’d be happy to take a look at it, if you don’t mind waiting.” Joe: “Ok, sure.” Rick: “Great.” 1800s prospector guy does his analysis: “Well, based upon my assessment, and the condition it’s in… Rick: “How much do you think it’s worth?” Prospector: “Around $40-50million.” Rick: “Alright, thanks a lot. Always appreciate your input.” Joe: “Wow, well, good to know.” Rick: “So, how much are you looking to sell it for?” Joe: “$50 million.” Rick: “Yeeeeaaaaa, that’s just too much for me. The most I can do is like $8.” Joe: “Are you on crack??!” Rick: “Yeeaaa, but I gotta get it framed, make sure the paper doesn’t fade, find a buyer, and I don’t even know what the market is like for something like this….The highest I can go is $50.” Joe: “This is the literal Declaration of Independence, the beginning of our country, and you won’t buy it for more than $50???” Rick: “Well, I’m running a business and I got overhead and a lot of expenses.” Joe: “You have a highly acclaimed TV show that’s been running for 19 seasons and you’re gonna tell me you’re hurting for money??!” Rick: “Alright, final offer, $100.” Joe: “You’re a fucktard, this show is staged and stupid, I’m gonna come back tonight and burn your place to the ground!” Rick: “Alright, well, sorry we couldn’t make a deal but I wish the best for ya.” Joe: “Go fuck your self!”

One time on Fox they had a special where they were going to open a tomb live on air. In the lead up head of antiquities Zahi Hawas planted artifacts for the host to find on air, then lost his footing and stepped on them instead.

As long as there is greed, Mr. Krabs will remain relevant.

@@jenlea845 That sounds fucking hilarious and sad at the same time

@@jenlea845 lmao. Do you have like a link to this? I have to see this.

Well, we think that at the start, it was not even really a spokent language put on a visual form. They just wanted to calculate how many grains and cows the king had, so they make drawings of cows and grains and put signs to count it ^^ And then, you start to draw more things, to remember more things, and your scribe get tired and start to make drawings more quicjly, with less details, and that gives you most of the first written system (like hieroglyphes, and chinese ideogrames).

I don't get what is so shocking about an ancient civilization creating a language, they were smart as heck and it's no suprise one person would think, "Hey! I can use these symbols to communicate stuff!" It's sad to see them get heavily discredited.

@J M Okay, that's your hypothesis. Now what is your evidences to support your hypothesis? ^^ "If homo-sapiens across the planet pre-history all had bows, arrows, spears, agriculture, language and maybe some very primitive form of writing in the way of symboletry etc, had to have been developed before we completely left Africa." Or, it just developped on its own in multiple points. That's what writing did mayans, egyptians and chineses developped writing without influencing each other ^^ That's also what agriculture did, by the way ^^ Spears existed before Homo sapiens, but I don't know for bows. And language it's a highly debated thing, we don't even know if humans before Homo sapiens could talk, or if languages had multiple origines or a common origine ^^' "As an aside, I understand that the agricultural revolution happened some 10,000 to 20,000 years ago." First agricultural revolution refers to the mechanization and industrialization of agriculture. The invention of agriculture is called neolithic revolution. Second, agriculture appeared around 9 000 BCE in Meso-america, China, Mesopotamia and New-Guinea, roughly in the same time. Humans started to go out of Africa 100 000 years ago. That's long before any invention of agriculture ^^

I don't get why we presume The Apes we call "Ancestors" are that stupid. Hell if they were that stupid, how did we even come from being that stupid to the Age of Enlightenment

@Kumani D. Then how do you explain the africans genetic diversity? ^^ How doyou explain all the humans and hominoids fossils in Africa? When life began, there was no Africa. And life began in water, so Africa or notis not really a question. But humans are definitely an african species ^^

He's just saying Sans is Ness xD

And it's all clearly tongue in cheek for entertainment. Because of its silly nature it actually does a pretty good job of highlighting the bs conspiracy theory tactics.

They did a video on stone henge and something in Norway and an arrangement of large stones in Europe.

His Food Theory channel is pretty cool if I say so myself.

Junior Sanchez I could ask YOU the same question.

What kind of native American?

White people 😔

Truly, its so sad how people dont care about actual history and facts and value more fake "interpretations" of older cultures who focus on violence, aliens and that type of bullshit

@@smusky4643 indeed, white people screaming "speak English" whilst standing on illegally occupied Native lands.

@@A.S._Trunks do you mean to say what nation?

Like those awful healing crystal hippies.

I'm in school for an electrical trade and what we cover on day 1 would debunk any wook with their clamors of "energy" and "vibes"

They need to go back to highschool since any basic science course would explain it quite clearly what 'energy' is. The sad thing is that there is a sizable viewer that don't know what energy is and take what they say at face value.

@@otakunthevegan4206 wow that's pretty rude don't let a stereotype make u make rude ass assumptions ab something you clearly don't understand, we don't claim omg crystals cure cancer! it helps grow hair or some other obvious bull crap, we aren't spaced out crack heads just interested in the unknown and mythology :/

I'm pretty sure Energy is supposed to just flow around and do Energy stuff? Idk I didn't listen to Science Class all that much

That is surprisingly touching. May he rest in peace.

Damn

@real human , it was pretty cool. We got his life's story typed out into a book over those 3 years. He was an interesting dude. VP of a pretty big motorcycle gang in the 1960s. I'm working on editing it and moving some the stories around so it follows a timeline and then I'll self publish. The world will remember him.

@real human will do.

@@TheDwightMamba that's awesome my guy. May your father rest in peace.

The Romans actually did the same when they encountered the pre-Viking Age Norsemen. They insisted that Freya was Venus, Odin was Jupiter, Thor was Hercules, etc. This is also where you get some of the English names for the Norse gods, such as "Hela", who was actually called Hel by the Vikings themselves, but the Romans changed it to "Hela" because it sounded better to them.

Syncretism*

@@Niobesnuppa didn’t some romans write somewhere that the norse worshipped hermes as their head god, because he has a lot more similarities to odin than jupiter does

@@esobelisk3110 both Tacitus and Julius Caesar said that, but for Hermes Roman equivalent Mercury

@@bradjarvis4963 thanks! my brain is really good at remembering facts I find interesting, and really bad at remembering the sources for those facts.
