There is nothing more dangerous than a closed mind. A closed mind is not ready to receive to new ideas, someone that does not try to view in opposite way or positive way. When you believe in something or in someone and your mind will stay closed to that believe and will not even try to acknowledge it. so, by trying to be clever and sensible in your response, you are telling us you only believe what you are told. Given that most people on ATS (with justification) don't believe a word that TPTB tell us, you are essentially alienating yourself. Good move.
this is not true. I personally believe that religious beliefs are very valuable to cultures. Trying to force aliens into religions is what the problem is. So I think AA is stupid not the religious beliefs of people.

People who debunk the Ancient Astronaut theory also think hogwash on all local people believing in their mythology. They think it's stupid. I've heard it right from their mouths. Believing in the Bible, is one thing, but what the people on Easter Island believe, oh how much fun it would be to tell them they are wrong so we can boost our ego.

And in fact the videos describe how the local beliefs and legends do not fit in with the claims of the Ancient Astronaut believers. For example, they claim that the Incan legends states their gods came from the sky and so therefore must be aliens.
And that is just not true. Their god came from the sea.
The vids do a good job at exposing how the AA believers twist legend and myth to fit their religion.
.while he makes some good points about how AA twists and misinforms, he does not address (unless I missed it) the literal interpritations that AA makes.

I Think the basic, as a theory still stands as credible, but I've seen it debunked numerous times.
I love the idea, and it felt like it changed my views on everything.
But alas it was too good to be true. unfortunately pretty much everything on nibiru, the annunaki, basically all the sumerian texts which make up the basic foundations for the theory are sitchens mistranslations.
The evidence people present doesn't stand, they're led to nitpicking because the actual evidence is everywhere, right in front of our eyes.
And of course that's why its considered such a far out theory, it goes against everything we've ever been taught (since the 18th century)
A while Before that it seemed common knowledge that we'd received help from people from the stars.
Sorry, there is more about these complex questions if science is not open minded and prepared to be wrong about some things including how the Universe came in a 1^-n of a second out of the nothing, then this is not real science. Science has to be open for anythign and being wrong as well

well...I disagree. Just how are my comments harmful? Nothing good has ever come out of religion? I think we are talking about different things.

Although the thread topic is about mythical ancient aliens, I take umbrage about your harmful comments. Nothing good has ever come out of religion. The effect of religion is the control of weak minds that have been conditioned to replace their own decision making with outside forces. There is nothing valuable about religious beliefs, they are a curse on those who accept them and then find it impossible to shake 'em.
Giving the alleged aliens credit, I am of the opinion that they may not laugh at the religious but must seem them as fools for allowing others with less than honorable agendas to control them and tell them how to behave. Phooey on religion.

I plan to watch the entire 3 hour video. I hope the Documentary spends some time on Baalbek, in particular the foundation stones for the temple of Jupiter and how they were cut ,quarried and moved into place.
Ancient Aliens? Not sure. Ancient lost technology from a high civilization? Could be.

Oh cut human ingenuity some credit, they could build these structures themselves! Oh there would be no honor with the assistance of other beings working together with humans, that is nothing to be proud of. That wouldn't make the ancients more advanced.
