Ancient Aliens: Prince Philip's Secret UFO Investigation (Season 18)

18 February 2022

Ancient Astronaut Theorists believe that Prince Philip might've investigated and researched a classified UFO phenomenon in this clip from Season 18, "The World on Alert."

Reminder that David Icke, the guy who came up with the deeply antisemitic reptilian alien conspiracy theory popular among New Agers today, is also a massive transphobe who believes that transgender is part of the evil conspiracy.

Went into a patients room and the Dipshistory Channel was on and it was like...

To most onlookers this appears to be nothing more than a pile of rocks in the middle of the woods in Appalachia. Mainstream archaeologists claim it is the remains of a root cellar built in the 19th century. However Ancient Astronaut theorists speculate that it is evidence of an ancient alien network of ...

And I'm just like LMFAO!!!! Why is this show still on TV?

reminder: it actually does not matter if you have a friend whos a poc who tells you that "race transitioning" is fine. it doesnt matter if youre a poc yourself and you think its fine. guess what? people can be wrong!

even outside of this, people can be wrong.

if a scientist with a phd tells you the earth is flat, do you just immediately believe that with no question? you may think "someone with a phd would never believe that", but there are several scientists who do! there are modern scientists with phds and careers who believe in shit like phrenology or ancient astronaut theory or other bullshit like that.

there are poc who are nazis, who believe in white supremacy and believe that poc are inferior or subhuman. if a poc like myself tells you that all poc are inferior to white people, do you just automatically believe that? there are very famous poc who hold these ideals, such as kanye west.

you are seeking out specific people in your community who agree with all of your ideals. you are finding one or two or ten or however many people who agree with you and ignoring the tens of thousands of people who dont agree. you are doing exactly what conspiracy theorists and racists do: finding one professional or seemingly trustworthy source and basing your entire logic around that one source.

racists will find one scientist who believes in phrenology and use that one scientist to say "look! a real scientist with a phd agrees with me! you shouldnt listen to the wider scientific community, theyre all biased and wrong and this guy is the only one whos correct!"

radqueers will find one poc who supports "race transitioning" and use that one person to say "look! a real poc agrees with me! you shouldnt listen to the wider poc community, theyre all biased and wrong and this guy is the only one whos correct!"

do you understand what im saying here? you cant pick and choose who to believe based on whether or not you agree with them. listen to as many poc as you can, outside of radqueer communities. listen to ones who dont even know what radqueer means. the vast majority of poc say that "transitioning races" is inherently racist (and impossible, considering you cant just transition to have been born somewhere else or have different biological ancestors, which is what determines race because race and ethnicity are inherited unlike gender), dont just choose 20 poc who say its good and ignore the 20000 who say it isnt.

King Pakal As An Alien Ancient Astronaut

The enigmatic Tomb of Mayan King Pakal has attracted the interest of Ancient Astronaut Theorists like Zechariah and Erich von Daniken who suggest that the carved sarcophagus lid found in his tomb at Palenque depicts Pakal as an Anunnaki Ancient Astronaut.

King Pakal’s sarcophagus lid shows a man tilting backwards surrounded by glyphs and symbols that run along the edges of the lid representing important components of Mayan cosmology.

The mainstream consensus among Mayan experts is that the image on the Sarcophagus does not depict King Pakal as an Ancient Astronaut but instead, the image tells the story of King Pakal’s death and descent into the underworld.

However, an alternative explanation of the engraving of the lid of King Pakal’s sarcophagus was advanced by Ancient Astronaut Theorist Erich von Daniken in his book Chariots of the Gods where he claimed the lid depicted King Pakal riding on a rocketship.

On the basis of Erich von Daniken’s observations in Chariots Of The Gods, Ancient Astronaut Theorists state that King Pakal may have been part of the race of Alien Ancient Astonauts that built Civilization on Earth.

The leading criticism of Von Daniken’s explanation of King Pakal’s Sarcophagus as depicting an Ancient Astonaut criticises his suggestion that rocket power would be the method used by technologically superior Aliens to travel the Solar system.

The idea that Extraterrestrials would use rocket power to arrive on Earth seems anachronistic because this type of technology would be primitive to Aliens.

However, the use of rocket terminology does not in itself disprove Daniken’s argument that King Pakal was an Ancient Astronaut because the carvings on the lid could also be an advanced Reactor eg using antimatter or some other advanced form of Alien propulsion.

King Pakal: The Sumerian-Egyptian Connection

A deeper Ancient Astronaut Theory analysis of the lid of King Pakal’s Tomb based on the works of Zechariah Sitchin’s Earth Chronicles ultimately leads to the Anunnaki Gods of Ancient Egypt and Sumer who may have built an Alien Civilization on Earth.

Zecharia Sitchin’s Ancient Astronaut Theory analysis of King Pakal’s Tomb expanded beyond the self-contained mythology of one particular geographical area in determining the meaning of King Pakal’s sarcophagus lid.

me and my brother have been watching Ancient Aliens an absurd amount lately and when they start talking about ancient civilizations and art i get so sucked in like wow...humans are incredible...and then the narrator will hit me with "IS THE PYRAMIDS ACTUALLY A SPACE SHIP? ANCIENT ASTRONAUT THEORISTS SAY YES 💯" and I'm violently brought back down to earth

[metamorphosis-000]

In his 1976 book The Twelfth Planet, Russian-American author Zecharia Sitchin claimed that the Anunnaki were actually a race of extraterrestrial beings from the undiscovered planet Nibiru, who came to Earth around 500,000 years ago in order to mine gold. According to Sitchin, the Anunnaki genetically engineered homo erectus to create modern humans to work as their slaves. Sitchin claimed that the Anunnaki were forced to leave Earth when Antarctic glaciers melted, causing the Flood of Noah, which also destroyed the Anunnaki’s bases on Earth. These had to be rebuilt and the Nephilim, needing more humans to help in this massive effort, taught them agriculture. Ronald H. Fritze writes that, according to Sitchin, “the Annunaki built the pyramids and all the other monumental structures from around the world that ancient astronaut theorists consider so impossible to build without highly advanced technologies.“Sitchin also claimed that the Anunnaki had left behind human-alien hybrids, some of whom may still be alive today, unaware of their alien ancestry. Sitchin expanded on this mythology in later works, including The Stairway to Heaven (1980) and The Wars of Gods and Men (1985). In The End of Days: Armageddon and the Prophecy of the Return (2007), Sitchin predicted that the Anunnaki would return to earth, possibly as soon as 2012, corresponding to the end of the Mesoamerican Long Count calendar.

Brit and I watched ancient aliens last night for the laughs but it amazes me how they don't cite a single source??? Also what the fuck is an ancient astronaut theorist 😭😭

[pelagae]

Ancient Alien Theory is like some weird almost cult for atheists who can't let go of the culture of religion.

I watch the show for funsies. Usually when I'm high. It's entertaining in a "could it be? Ancient Astronaut Theorists say..... ~~a ReSoUnDiNg YeS~~!" 🥴 sort of way. I think it's fun to see stuff about ancient history, even if they do make it about aliens. It's like a sort of alternate timeline fantasy along with neat history for me. It's fun to see the commonalities in ancient cultures because, to me, it speaks to our connections and similarities as humans, the stories we tell covering such shared themes. Just watched one that talked about about mandalas and the images created by sound waves, which was just cool from a science-culture overlap perspective. And then the other stuff about modern UFO sightings and things just being weird news, conspiracy theory shenanigans.

But I was watching it the other day, and I thought, "This is Baha'i for atheists." Not that I'm all that familiar or saying it correlates with actual Baha'i philosophy, just in the way that Ancient Alien Theory is rooted in concepts and stories from religions and cultures all over the world, especially the Abrahamics, Hinduism, Zoroastrianism, and Buddhism.

Whether or not you're thinking of God or aliens, the idea that someone/thing out there purposely manipulated our planet and our evolution to create the human race, that human civilization has been influenced by some extraterrestrial force bringing knowledge and technology, that someday these beings will (or already have) return for some greater purpose or next step, yada yada yada... all just sounds like Christians and similar who maybe have given up the spiritual belief but still want those concepts to exist. At times, it really just comes across as a scientific explanation for religious creation stories. Like, how is "God put water on the Earth" so different from "Water came from asteroids. But could it be possible that an extraterrestrial civilization sent water-bearing asteroids... on purpose? Ancient Astronaut Theorists say yes"? Just taking science and history and making it fit the theory, exactly like a religion would. Even one of their main people, Eric Von Danikan, is super Christian and defends his faith in God despite writing the book on how angels are aliens and Jesus was half alien. It's religion with a sciencey mask on.

I think that if people 5,000 years ago were cutting stone with greater precision than we were doing 100 years ago, that's pretty neat. Saying they were able to do it because of aliens is not only a discredit to those people, but it reveals the religious mentality or external locus of control in the otherwise atheist-identifying proponents of the theory.

One thing I really hate about conspiracy theorists is that they use a "well you can't prove I'm absolutely WRONG" stance as their reasoning for why they're right about their theories & then leave it at that. Like yeah youre right, I can't technically 100% without a doubt prove that aliens don't exist. Obviously that doesn't mean their "aliens built the pyramids" theory is true, because we have lots of evidence showing us that aliens didn't build them, ancient Egyptian people did. But they'll still hold onto whatever straws (imaginary or thin) they can grasp to believe whatever conspiracy they want.

Like I can say "there's a purple teapot with frogs on it floating in space that astronauts launched there & left it & now it's lost in space somewhere". Yeah i don't have any proof of this at all, & I can make some up, or i can find different completely unrelated sources to link it to this alleged teapot in space as my reasoning for why it's there. Yeah there's lots of evidence I'm lying & there's lots of reasonable, scientific explanations for how the teapot doesn't exist & couldn't possibly be floating in space right now. But you also can't technically prove there definitely ISNT a floating teapot in space right this second, & that's the weak reasoning CT's like to use

Friendly reminder that:

The concept of starseeds promotes ableism by minimizing or denying ADHD and autism.

The ancient astronaut hypothesis promotes spiritual colonialism and destruction of other cultures by twisting other people's mythologies and sacred texts to fit their narratives.

The reptilian alien mythology is based on conspiracy theories historically used to justify oppressing and murdering real people. Loosh/blood/adrenochrome harvesting is just repackaged blood libel.

New Age mythology is chock full of repackaged right wing conspiracy theories, the same kind pushed by QAnon.

It's also full of repackaged racist pseudoscience about genetic superiority/inferiority and the function of evolution.

Ascension to 5D was supposed to have happened back in 2012, and the prediction failed.

New Agers are recycling their predictions over and over to catch new waves of people who don't know the movement's history.

Belief in Atlantis is strongly motivated by white supremacy.

Ancient Secrets Fallen Angel's

In contemporary times, various authors and theorists have revisited the story of the Watchers, including those who subscribe to the ancient astronaut theory. This perspective suggests that the Watchers may have been extraterrestrial visitors, interpreting their advanced knowledge and abilities as evidence of a technologically superior race interacting with ancient humans.

The tale of the Watchers is a complex blend of theology, mythology, and speculation. It raises questions about the nature of divine beings, the origins of evil, and the boundaries between the sacred and the profane. Whether viewed through the lens of religious tradition or modern interpretation, the story of the Watchers remains a fascinating and enduring narrative that challenges our understanding of the cosmos and our place within it.
