It‘s Probably (not) Aliens!
Was Earth really visited by mysterious extraterrestrial travelers thousands of years ago as many proponents of ”ancient astronaut theory” believe? What are the hidden secrets and mysteries behind ancient monuments and forgotten civilizations? Every week, historian Tristan Johnson and regular human person Scott Niswander dive through the archives to learn about the fascinating histories of ancient civilizations while also debunking the myths and straight-up lies presented in History Channel‘s massively popular tv show Ancient Aliens that has sparked a new generation of conspiracy theorists. We hope through this show, you can gain an appreciation for just how cool ancient societies were, and not simply credit their impressive advancements to alien visitors. NEW EPISODES EVERY WEEK!

Obviously not. But this raises an interesting question about why pop culture has painted nazis in this treasure-hunting way.

Turns out, nearly every seemingly innocuous new age-y thing is linked back to nazi ideology. So that's no good.

So far, we've debunked Ancient Aliens' claims that Nazi Germany got help from alien technology. But now we're tackling the much grosser belief that the aryan race was actual aliens.

Wernher von Braun didn't care who he made rockets for or for what those people used his rockets. Nazi Germany? The United States? Didn't matter to him. Cool guy.

The year is 7023. Humanity has admittedly had a rough go of it. Last christmas, a shapeshifting alien from Earth disguising itself as Santa wreaked havoc on the X Intellectual Conference at the X Convention Center, in X City. Nobody is sure how it got there, but everyone knows it was stopped by two brave heroes: Derrick Von Erican and Indianapolis Dave. Interestingly enough, those two ...
