ANCIENT ASTRONAUTS ver 1.0
This is a first attempt to create a MOD based on Ancient Astronauts theory as made popular by shows such as Ancient Aliens on the History channel. This MOD explores these ideas and asks you to develop a civilization with a keen eye towards locating and identifying ancient knowledge lost on our planet.
Designed for vanilla BTS 3.19 the MOD focuses on new resources and improvements along with additional tech, buildings, wonders, and units that attempt to offer a new flavor for CIV IV without disrupting or overcomplicating the beauty of vanilla BtS. No additional MODs or Features needed. Simply unzip to your Beyond The Sword \ MODS folder. Enjoy!

(this is my first mod and first upload so let me know how I can improve!)
"According to ancient alien theorists, extraterrestrials with superior knowledge of science and engineering landed on Earth thousands of years ago, sharing their expertise with early civilizations and forever changing the course of human history. But how did this concept develop, and is there any evidence to support it?" - History Channel

Credits to many great modders on this forum for units and help files including woodelf, deon, and walter hawkwood. You inspired me!
As mentioned, this is a first mod and so there are known issues.
not all civilopedia entries are in all languages
some units need to be visually improved
there is a WIP CONTACT victory condition that should be manually disabled before playing to prevent AI from trying to complete it.
Please submit bugs and or any feedback to thehiredgun@gmail.com
Cheers and enjoy!
