[QUOTE="Pareto, post: 35070, member: 9142"] I love the Ancient Aliens TV series, along with the other programmes looking into the Ancient Astronaut theories by Georgio Tsoukalos (the "Aliens" meme guy with the funky hair). I think there is the possibility of life on other planets, and that Earth has been visited by extra-terrestrial life. There are just too many similarities between different cultures (that are on different continents) that cannot make it a coincidence. Consider the many different Pyramidal structures across Latin America (step pyramids) and ancient Mesopotamian Ziggurats. Or that the Ancient Egyptians built the Great pyramids (designed to be massive tombs for the Pharaohs) for only a short time. Surely they were built for a bigger purpose? One of the more interesting ones was the Tsoukalos programme "In Search of Aliens" S1 E2 which looked at the hunt for the lost city of Atlantis. It looks at the usual suspect of Santorini, as well as Silves in Portugal. What I find funny is that there was an online article on my Facebook feed that claims to have found Atlantis...in the Bermuda Triangle. Apparently the US Gov't have long-known this location since the 60's and there's ancient pyramids and Sphinx's down there - I take issue, as the only place these pyramids and Sphinx's are found is of course Ancient Egypt, so the article is all wrong. Reminds me of the time I did a talk in my Catholic School about the Dead Sea Scrolls, and ended up basically re-writing the Exodus described in the Old Testament. Didn't get screwed over for it and got top marks :banana: [/QUOTE]
