What does /sci/ think of Ancient Aliens series ?

Dark races like egiptians, mayans or polinesians lack the ability and inteligence required to build a complex society. Therefore all their achievements in the past can -and must- be explained through alien intervention.

does anyone here actually believe this shit?

Well, obviously we have.

But it was thousands of years ago, and they all fucked off when they gave up on us ever being something worthwhile.

lol history channel. anyone else love watching this program? it's on right now on the east coast. also that dude with the Bablyon 5 hair...wtf.

alright guys, theres an episode of this show where they say that egyptians had light bulbs to see in the chambers and hallways in the pyramids, and gave 3 good arguments against other kinds of lighting.

1) there is no soot or carbon deposits on the ceiling of the chambers, which torches would have left.
2) there isnt enough oxygen inside the chambers to hold a flame, and some dude testified to it though i wouldnt take his word for it.
3) using polished copper plates to reflect light in, like in the mummy, doesnt work past a few corners, too much light dissipates.

so /sci/ tell me what they really did.
