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.

Customer Reviews
Pretend this is 4 stars
But it’s five stars cause you goofy bois
Very Bad
This podcast is basically a regurgitation of the first google page result for whatever topic they’re covering. surface level, basic information, easily digestable for smooth brain pigeons like the two hosts. Apparently Elon Musk made the two hosts cry and they removed their twitter (x) profiles (lol). These guys for sure got 3x vax’d in 2020.
Fun and Informative
The hosts are generous with jokes and research, seeing the intersection of general nerd stuff with lots of useful info to go around, debunks ancient aliens well, but the hosts haven’t seen Twin Peaks or Gravity Falls and they need to get around to that.
