Oh, that's pretty easy. History programs usually include some sort of reenactment followed by talking heads, and a voice over.

Ancient Aliens is way cheaper. Show some B roll, maybe a few still images of whatever the subject of the day is, add and then let the ominous phrase "Some Ancient Aliens/Astronaut theorists believe.." and off we are to the races making up all the shit we want. Humans never do anything by themselves, it's always aliens. Besides, this rubbish became popular as a tv show in the shadow of the Iraq war. World over, but esp in the US, you saw a sharp decline in trust in the govt. "some ancient astronaut theorists believe that telling people that there were benevolent Gods watching over us and our government was hiding their existence became really easy to believe". Also, millennials are the most educated generation, and amongst other things we'd like the hope ancient aliens provides, and as we get more educated we think way too highly of ourselves. "I'm smart, I have a master's degree all these peasants were stupid" except we are also peasants. Experts say i don't know. Geniuses say Aliens.

Great video! As to what I would like to see next: here in Belgium a lot of our older generation still believe that by 'discovering' Congo, we saved the black people living there from evil arab slavetraders. Unfortunately, this chapter in our history does not get a lot of attention in our schools. The story basically goes: Stanley says "Livingstone I presume", our King makes a bit of money and then presents the colony as a gift to the Belgian government, who then build a lot of modern buildings and roads, the Congolese want independence so we granted them that and well now you can see on the news what became of them... I sincerely wish I had learned on lot more and with way more respect for the experience of the indigenous people. And still today, with all the atrocities that have come out, there are still a lot of people here that say: "well, at least we gave them civilisation". I often don't know what to respond to that, it leaves me with such a shock. So I would like to see a video on "why do Europeans believe they saved/civilised black Africa?"

We cease to realise that most people today are generally unskilled in terms of practical ability. We sat through school disinterested and most have a basic unskilled job. Whereas many people of the past were highly skilled in a specific area. children were pushed into work, say as a builder and would do that job everyday for their lives. If they didn't work and weren't highly skilled they didn't eat. Whereas we don't have to work hard to get by.

The Nazca Lines.... if they were created by someone in the air, why aren't they more accurate? Was Salvador Dali directing them? There are going to be questions that will be difficult to answer for a long time, or maybe forever. But there is no need to denigrate the abilities of the ancients.

The quote from one of them about "our understanding of dinosaurs started with a theory" shows the usual lack of understanding that pseudoscientists have about the way real science works, not just a misunderstanding of what a scientific theory is. Science starts with data (like fossils, location in rock strata, etc), then comes a hypothesis to attempt to explain the data, then testing the hypothesis (which will include predictions of what we will find, something often missing in pseudoscience), more data, refining the hypothesis, around and around, until finally getting to the level of theory. Pseudoscience at best is jumping to conclusions based on inadequate data, if not outright starting with the conclusion they want to believe and then trying to find what data fits, usually cherry picking or manipulating data to say what they want,

I was taken up by Von Danikens ideas in the 70s they seem unique and original but not so there have been other sci-fi dramas bringing up these ideas before him. First there's the BBCs Quatermass and the Pit that dwelled on this idea also one or two episodes from original Star Trek series as well. The one nagging thing that stopped me totally believing this why did a alien civilization come here help build these monuments nothing else why just within a limited development not leave all their other technical devices to create full blown hi tech cities. They really didn't leave much for humanity all these cultures developed so far then stagnated then vanished until other civilizations came along. So we were all mugs falling for these authors helped their bank account scams.

24:00 I would say there are many groups around the world who have taken to exoticism for other cultures. Western people or countries aren't the only ones who do this.

@HistoryHit Considering that we can't even put a few similar blocks together ourselves (using the "accepted" methods), it is a bit much to say it's patronising to question the ability of the ancient Egyptians to build the pyramids. Also, they had thousands of years to perfect it? Really?? So they didn't have to get food, water, shelter and fight each other all of the time - or did that just begin as soon as we started writing history down?

What gets me is when I hear people say that God saved someone they love instead of not thanking a surgeon who operated and actually saved their life, because I had a lot of issues from birth ( I'm actually the oldest survivor of at least 1 in the UK and possibly the world ) my mum was verbally abused because she authorised a blood transfusion because they said it was gods will for me to die and she shouldn't of let them do anything. Religion has totally brainwashed so many people and been the cause of more deaths through conflicts and other means than anything in history, in reality without religion there would be more peace through history even though religion is supposed to solve suffering.

The aliens visited Elon in South Africa and taught him how to slice bread.

Anyway, we all the pyramids were Goa'ulds mother ships and Atlantis an Ancient city in the Pegasus galaxy... As said, those theories do make for great entertainment!

It’s mainly down to personal incredulity and laziness, they don’t understand and are too lazy to do any research, so they rely on the Facebook rumour mill for their information, there’s no hope! 😂

Give me a lever long enough and a fulcrum on which to place it, and I shall move the world. A Bloke from Syracuse ;)

did erik von daeniken read h.p lovecraft?

Chariots of the God’s is a great theory but farther from any evidence that exists. Ancient Aliens just goes way out to Left Field and beyond! History Hit is like going to University and listening to real facts.

More like this, please, History Hit! It’s very will done. Debunking pseudohistory and historical conspiracy theories is, sad to say, much more important than another video about the Tudors or the Plantagenets or the Civil War.

My friend's convinced that life was better in 'ancient times' (although he mainly refers to the Anglo Saxon era) and that we've lost all our 'ancient wisdom'. I tell him about the infant mortality, short lives and lack of modern medicine etc but he's adamant,

Infant mortality caused knowledge to be lost? You know there was written language to preserve and pass on knowledge right?

You should tell your friend to give up his phone and laptop then, let's see how long he thinks the old times were better 😂

It depends what you want from life I guess. If you survive childhood and don't suffer from anything that requires modern medicine and you want to live a peaceful life in the country with no technology, then it probably wasn't that bad.
