Thank goodness Ancient astronaut theorists have an open mind

[RealPraveenMohan]

Wait.. what are they saying? 😖😖 Sometimes it is confusing even for Ancient Astronaut Theorists like me 😓

[gingerredshoes]

How did they go through this whole clip and not say the words "alien vampires"?

[NUSORCA]

Astronaut theorists say: yes
Novel Coronavirus say: yeah?!

[keyquestions]

Sorry did these guys just call Jesus a vampire?? The nerve though 😂

[midgetydeath]

Well, a lot of gods in the most ancient religions demanded blood sacrifice from humans.

[eternalawareness]

In the movie Prometheus at the beginning, the engineer drinks black goo or I believe it was some sort of xenomorph blood in order to seed planet earth with his DNA broken down into the waters. "This is my body which will be given up for you" The blood which he drinks of is "the new and everlasting covenant"....And guess what movie comes right

Love the show!!! keep them episodes coming

[MoltenUprisingMK]

I remember one time I went to a church or chapel and was part of one of those "giving out the bread and wine" ceremonies. I didn't think much of it at the time. I was just glad to get free bread.

Not just Catholics, we all as Christians believe it.

[azitabahram]

This ritual, like many other things in catholic church and christianity in general, belongs to mithraism, a persion religion preceding jesus by more than 2000 years. There are 23 things that are exactly the same in both religions including born from a virgin mother, babtism, having 12 apostles, lst supper, raising from dead, and promise to return at the time of world's end to bring peace and properity to the world

Ancient aliens has the best thumbnails I swear

[ordinaryghoul]

Me laying here high thinking, “the aliens are coming to take my blood in the afterlife”?

[goldseekersadventures]

Fruit is what makes wine and bread is what gives us fiber. So when we drink the fruit and eat the wheat it sustains life and Jesus was all about life.

[ursaltydog]

I'd like to watch all that episode... Reminds me of that old hymn.. "There is Power in the blood.. power in the blood"..

[martinusgroninger]

Do Ancient Alien Astronouts ever say NO ???

[DanceySteveYNWA]

Take this bread, it is my flesh. Drink this wine, its my blood. Now grab this sausage...

[polizei]

I'd like to put it this way: that the way to attain immortality is through the consumption of certain being of extraterrestrial in origin - that other galactic civilizations already wanted their share but the owners of such life-giving food chose the human race above all else.. Thus the reason why we we've been placed on a favorable solar system with single star, enshrouded by lots of space protection ("edge of Pluto" belt, Van Allen radiation belt, being put into a goldilocks zone, etc.) so we would be hard to find.

[sniffles]

In the intellectual words of the Great Homer Simpson "Help me Jebus!!!" 😜🥴🙏
