Occasionally, I flip through what's going to be on History Channel and watch it, as sometimes they have some interesting content. A week or two ago, I was doing just that. I noticed a show called "Ancient Aliens". I thought, you can't be serious, can you? I look in the info, and the episode is entitled "Sunken Cities". I set it to record, just to see what they say, and keep going.
Then there was another one on. It was entitled "Aliens and the Third Reich". I set it to record too.
The other day, "Sunken Cities" was on. So I watched it. It was the biggest crap I've ever seen on History, and I've even had "Pawn Stars" on because I was doing something else and forgot to turn off the TV. They were completely obsessed with finding Plato's metaphorical Atlantis, and didn't stop short at telling me that these two symmetrical rocks found in the Caribbean (one off the west coast of Cuba, and one in the Bahamas) were in fact Atlantis (after all, Atlantis was supposedly past the Pillars of Hercules). And then some guy with big hair and a beard came on and talked about how Atlantis was gone in a night, and saying that he didn't believe it sunk, but it got up and left. After they were done taking Plato too seriously, they move to Yosiguni Jima, this ancient Japanese sunken city, and some "historians" talked about how it was a base for aliens. They also inexplicably tried to connect Bermuda Triangle and the Dragon's Triangle to each other, and then to Atlantis and Yosiguni Jima. After they were done with that, they went on to point out a bunch of obvious descriptions of alien contact throughout assorted mythology.
Just last night, I watched what was supposed to be "Aliens and the Third Reich". My cable provider had made a mistake and aired an episode called "Alien Tech". It started off with the outlandish suggestion that the siege of Jericho in the Old Testament, where Joshua marches the Arc of the Covenant and the Horns around the walls for six days, then on the seventh day they blow the Horns and down come the walls of Jericho, in fact used acoustic weapons. Again they dabble in mythology, and they also go on to say that they used acoustic levitation (alien technology) to build the Pyramids, Stonehenge, Mycenae, Angkor Wat, and the Mesoamerican Pyramids.
They also examined models of mythical flying turtles from Neolithic Guatemala, and suggested that they simply used the turtle as a way of describing the alien flying saucers. At the end, they also decided to discredit Heron and Archimedes, saying that their inventions were obviously alien tech.
I mean, I try to be open minded, but this is crossing from the realm of faint plausibility into complete fantasy madness.
