The History Channel showing a program about aliens? Who would have thought?

I miss the days when the History Channel actually televised shows about actual history.

Pinging the unidentified aerial phenomena list (ufo) ..

May 8, 1950-This is one of the most famous UFO pictures ever taken.
Photographed by Paul Trent, and first witnessed by his wife.
They were published in a local newspaper in McMinnville, Oregon.
Shortly thereafter, the Trent photos were published in Life magazine edition of June 26, 1950.
The rest is history.
(These photos have been deemed authentic for over 50 years. The analysis of the McMinneville photos by Dr.Bruce Maccabee PhD, can be found here = http://brumac.8k.com/trent1.html )

Those interested in the uap/ufo ping list, please Freepmail
Quix, DCPatriot and LasVegasDave (freepmail works best)
if you would like your name added to the list.
( Approximately 150+ freepers are currently on the ping list ).

Agreed.

Been pretty much unwatchable the last few years. To many non-historical reality shows, too much fluff.

[Quix]

THX THX.

[Quix]

I still encourage folks to check out

Guy Malone’s ministry about such facts here:

and

Tom Cruise must be simply ecstatic !

[The Wizard]

no offense, but how do you discount a possible fact. You have first hand knowledge from where and whom that allows you to discount anything you are uncomfortable with...

These theories make far more sense that slaves building the pyramid

Ditto on the "History Channel". Who gives a rat's behind about Ax Men or Truckers in Canada.

But if you have Digital Cable you guys need to start watching the History International Channel. Same company but better "History" programs. Their Hitler Marathons are really good (WWII actually).

But then again, they've showed this series on "HI" for years now. It ain't nothing new and was on last month. But it is interesting, give it a few minutes.

Thx for the heads up

[himno hero]

If slaves could build the Taj Mahal, why not the pyramids?

Buick hub caps made great flying saucers in the early 50’s.

A pyramid is a pretty crude architectural device. A simple, straight-sided 30 story building that capably handles weight-distribution is a much more complex achievement. If the pyramids were built by interstellar-traveling aliens why would they choose such an embarrassingly crude plan?

BTW, Paid workers, not slaves probably built the pyramids as a tribute to the egos of pharaohs. Nothing more.

I spent the last fifteen years outside of the US and finally returned in January...quickly signing up for cable. I came to find the History channel something less than what I’d seen in the past...and frankly...there’s barely eight hours a week of actual history on the channel.

I’d like to take the Ax-Men series and the various reality shows....and just push them off to Bravo or some other similar channel and get back to old fashioned history.

The most amusing point...came about a month ago over the weekend...where they did four hours of Loch Ness, Bigfoot, and aliens. This violated just about every rule in the book on history. I’m guessing that they are fairly desperate to have profits and lumberjacks & truckers are the only way to maintain that profit.

EPISODE 5. Being Heavily Medicated Again.
But it all seemed sooo real!

EPISODE 6. Were the Pyramids Built Using Poured Concrete?
What other explanation could there be?

Don't miss it!!!

[count-your-change]

What if the slaves used Tractor Beams? Anti-gravity lift devices and such?

[bkepley]

Yeah, pretty incompetent aliens though considering all those failed pyramids you can still find in Egypt. Took 'em a while to get it right.

[silverleaf]

but the Great Pyramid is far form a crude architectural device, if you have actually watched the programming about it. Its dimensions, engineering and even its location and alignment (along with the other two pyramids, are marvels

and thanks to the History Channel for its program about Puma Punku, I learned about a mystery I never knew existed

I don't think archaeologists enjoy spending their time disproving that slaves built ancient engineering marvels like the Pyramids and Puma Punku with hand tools, ropes and pulleys.

It's just that, the more they find, all over the world, the less logic there is in assuming that slaves did so, or were even able to do so

Much less “why”.

From watching the History Channel series, what written records remain at many of these sites (excluding Puma Punku, no written language, possibly built before invention of the wheel, yet using diamond tipped machining tools)) seem more suggestive of alien involvement, or at least that the sites were built in the service of alien worship, with seeming universal fixation on astrological phenomenon, and a common extra-solar origin in a bistellar planetary system in the vicinity of the Orion constellation

For naysayers, I just wish a very rich person would offer skeptics a reward for undertaking the replication of the Pyramid or Puma Punku projects, using the manpower and technology known in ancient times.

And while you are at it, please replicate some of the complex mathematical and astrological crop circles

but please, do it overnight, as the world watches.

Put theories of extraterrestrial involvement to bed, once and for all, and we can all move on.

Nothing stopping anyone from showing the rest of us what fools we are for doubting you (or ancient mankind alone) could do it.

According to ancient alien theorists The Bible, extraterrestrials fallen angels with superior knowledge of science and engineering landed on Earth thousands of years ago, sharing their expertise with early civilizations and forever changing the course of human history.
