Or the ancient civilizations were just really intelligent. It makes me feel a way whenever they say ancient people weren't capable enough to build the things that they did without help from aliens.

[chicocabalatungan]

When you have an Archeological List that utilizes Ancient Aliens for majority of its clips, you need to start reviewing your life decisions

[xtscarfacem]

If aliens had the technology to space travel im sure they'd be way past an analog computer

[TimothyCollins]

When it comes to the bird found in Egypt... Did you make a paper airplane as a kid? Even BEFORE you intimately understood the science of aviation?

It ain't that mysterious - making a kids glider toy does not immediately mean they had planes.

This could have been a very interesting list, with some serious scientific questions open to anyone. But no, once again, archaeology remains in the realm of "it must have been aliens".
Spoiler alert: It was never aliens. It's just people making fantastic stuff, as we do today as well. Get of the History Channel bandwagon.

[sasamichan]

I feel some of these mysteries come from Scientists assuming wrong information and not thinking out of the box enough to consider correct information

[ARIXANDRE]

That History Channel editing that just screams "Aliens".

[mlggamer]

I have a theory about Stonehenge. What if it was a ritualistic site? I mean they ARE formed in a circle

[edwardswinton]

Love watching y'all, but it amazes me that everything built in Egypt and places in that region needed help from aliens, but everything Roman and Greek was built by hand. I get that the clips come from other shows. Great list always informative tho!

[fabioemerim]

I think the Voynich Manuscript is some kind of an early Codex Seraphinianus some guy made just to have fun.

[Wolf]

I always get the urge to go to these places when learning more about them. Sadly things like money, time, and passports have prevented me. That and I don't want to go alone but I may just have to get over that. I'm definitely going to see the great pyramids at the very least before I die lol. I've been fascinated by them and Egypt in general since I was a kid

[jasonjuneau]

Perhaps ancient civilizations were a lot smarter than we give them credit for.

[nikkiej.]

I find the mystery of Stonehenge so so interesting and I would love to see it for myself one day. It’s such an amazing discovery.

[Wolf]

How is Golepe Tepe not on this list? It's even older than Stonehenge and they stil have only uncovered a small portion of it compared to what's still underground. They think it was purposefully buried too because of the dirt that sits on top of it. They've discovered specific animal bones in the dirt as well. It's one of the biggest mysteries out. I'd love to visit many of these places but Golepe Tepe is at the top of that list.

[Manicies]

What do you mean a consensus hasn't been reached on how the easter island heads move...the native people literally tell stories on how they 'walked'. The people know damn well how they were moved. They WERE walked.

[jessesimard]

Gobekli Tepe was def worthy of the list

[kiowahorse]

The voynich manuscripts could also just be the ramblings of a mad man.

[sueparras]

That crazy George dude from the very beginning is nuts. I'm pretty sure that his hair stands up like that is from his brains blowing out the top of his head!
