In Search Of Ancient Astronauts (1973) (Part 4 of 6)

[nothadnotbad]

can soot not be washed away? maybe they had dawn dishwashing liquid back then too. i mean it had to come from somwhere... sheesh

[emerald1one1]

ok~ not in its original place , other countries helped save the structure ,while another outside country idea was to build a damn on the river , where that damn is no use now , silted up the area so badly =was a waste of time to do the damn. interesting location for the original placement .

[longfootbuddy]

this brings forth a point i think about sometimes..when he says the druids may have just "taken over" the site from a previous people...i assume this has happend throughout the world...many old civilations probably "moved in" to previously build structures and taken on traits and claims of ownership to previous cultures

[CristinaFernandez]

@longfootbuddy Exactly. Teotihuacan was built in the early part of the first Millennium, but after that culture's collapse in the sixth century, it was a sacred religious site to later civilizations, including the Aztec - in fact, Teotihuacan was a name used by later societies, so impressed by the giant structures.

[anabolicErik]

i cant find any info on Zimbobue am i spelling this right?!

[JupiterIV]

@anabolicErik It's Great Zimbabwe! Serling mispronounced!

[anabolicErik]

@JupiterIV Thx!

[anabolicErik]

interesting, the Egyptian god Osiris and the Indian god Krishna are both depicted as being blue and giving humanity knowledge.

[feelytouchy67]

Serling says, "Some still believe that Stonehenge is temple built by the ancient Druids . . . and was the sight of . . human sacrifice"

Well, Stonehenge could have been built by Haliburton. They certainly are into construction of complex systems . . . and seem to be into human sacrifice! :D

Funny how "ancient" and "primitive" times and peoples don't really differ much from "modern" times and peoples . . . :)

[begood20000]

they never talked about Newgrange in Ireland. It's older than the pyramids

[pimpmandew]

i like this video

[CommissarASSHOLE]

These theories are all fun to toy around therewith, but there is not enough proof to make a solid fact out of them.

[CristinaFernandez]

@CommissarASSHOLE Agreed, there's no "there" there with any of this, but the series is a lot of fun if you just take in the creepy atmosphere, music, imagery and narration.

[33rdPatriot]

Freeman says Obama is cloned from the mummy of Akhenaten. See freeman tv d,ot c,om

[thescarf33]

if it was a vast civilization like they say, and everyone pulled thier own weight they could've pulled it off, unlike this bunch of lazy rable that is our society... : [/---

[Teflon65]

For what it's worth, it has been discovered, in recent years, that slaves did not build the pyramids. Instead, a special class of workers built them. The lodging areas of these workers were excavated, only fairly recently. The ancient mind, prior to widespread literacy, is also said to have been more attuned to memorization, which might account for the Nazca lines.

[john6380]

Hey, do any of you know who narrated the english version of the 'Chariots of the Gods' movie which this is based on.

And yes, I do agree that Serling is a much better narrator.

[LaJaDiSc]

Pi is a very old number. We know that the Egyptians and the Babylonians knew about the existence of the constant ratio pi, although they didn't know its value nearly as well as we do today.

[Jackalman99]

Parts are like The Chariots of The gods film partws are diferent too. Serling is better spoken as narrorater anyway.

[RideMyBMW]

Too bad for Serling he died before this show really took off. He preceeded the whole Art Bell/paranormal phenom by almost 15 years! Too bad Serling never looked into the Roswell incident.

[farcher3]

@RideMyBMW Yeah, he was a legend but Leonard Nemoy, I think would host the series later and he was a good host too. I wish A&E's Bill Curtis would get into this stuff and then it would be more popular today. Maybe he wants to much money to host this type of stuff.

[CristinaFernandez]

@farcher3 I agree - Nimoy, and the later music produced by Rinder and Lewis, would really take this show to greatness.

Bill Kurtis is better known for his crime productions, so I don't know if he'd be a good choice. Someone with a deep, oddball and creepy voice would be perfect though.

[DrMotorDude]

Informative, but I am not so sure Stonehenge was "strewn about like toy blocks," so much as precisely aligned to track the solar and lunar calendar.

[Matlike1]

I think they just meant that the massive stones seemed to be moved so easily.

[Teflon65]

@DrMotorDude: I think they were referring to the parts of Stonehenge that were not still extant.

[DrMotorDude]

Uh, what part no longer exists?

[Teflon65]

They still exist, but they were laying on the ground, around the site.

[badarts]

so episodic, but so good.
