Digging Up Ancient Aliens

3. The Visitors - Part 1


Listen Later

This week on Digging Up Ancient Aliens:

What would the Nazca Lines, elongated sculls, Akhenaten, and the Dogon tribe have in common? The answer seems obvious, according to the History Channel TV show Ancient Aliens, but what would an archeologist think?

This week, we'll be seeing the first half of Ancient Aliens Episode 2, "The Visitors." We head out with our host Fredrik once more to discover what is genuine, fake, and somewhere in between. We'll discuss South American cultures, Egyptian creation stories, African tribes and how it all fits into our current understanding of the past.

Remember that you are more than welcome to email me corrections if any are discovered; please include proper citations. All of our contact information is available on our website (https://diggingupancientaliens.com).
