"Ancient Aliens", an American TV series produced by Prometheus Entertainment, premiered in April 2010 on the History Channel. The series explores the hypotheses of ancient astronauts and suggests that archeology, historical texts and legends contain evidence of historical human and extraterrestrial contact. While the show has generated its fair share of controversy with people claiming that it relies on pseudohistory and pseudoscience, there are still many people who love the program due to their interest in aliens. The concept of ancient aliens proposes that aliens actually visited the earth in the past. Here are some of the mysteries that fuel these beliefs.

Top 5 Stories About Ancient Aliens

1

Ancient Aliens

The idea of ancient aliens gained widespread exposure back in 1968 when the "Chariots of the Gods" by Eric von Däniken was published. Proponents of this school of thought believe that the human population was influenced by aliens who had visited the earth in the past. It is said that the aliens contributed to the evolution of man through cross-breeding and genetic engineering. A variation of this idea is that the deities from all the religions are actually aliens whose advanced technology awed people, making them believe that they were deities. The theory goes on to suggest that the aliens tricked people into believing that they were Gods and created religion to help people evolve more efficiently.

Angels and Demons

The idea of angels and demons is prevalent in most religions. In the Bible, there are a myriad of accounts of demons and angels and their experiences both in heaven and on earth. While angles and demons are the same, only that demons are deemed rebellious angles that left heaven and came to earth. In the book of Enoch, angles came to earth and bore children with human women. 

The Quran also has references to angels that rebelled and came to earth. A case in point is Iblis (Satan) in verse 2:34 who was banished to earth after rebelling against God. He came and caused mischief among humans. 

The idea of aliens on earth is also covered in modern religious philosophy. Aleister Crowley’s Thelema touches on this to great length.

Greys

Greys are an alien species that is often associated with the alien abduction phenomenon. Greys are believed to be intelligent aliens who secretly visit the earth and perform medical experiments on humans. While there are a lot of contradicting descriptions of Greys, they are generally sexless, and have small bodies with larger than normal heads and eyes. They are almost devoid of any external human organs including sex organs, ears and noses. A study conducted in 1995 claimed that Greys make up 90% in Canada, 67% in Brazil, 50% in Australia, 43% in the US, 20% in Continental Europe and 12% in Great Britain.

Animal Mutilation

Animal mutilation refers to the killing of animals, especially cattle, under mysterious circumstances. One puzzling feature of these mutilations is the surgical manner in which they are carried out. Often, the animals are found with missing organs and completely drained of blood. There is usually no sign of entry and the surgical precision of the removal of the mutilations is astounding. Another puzzling aspect of the mutilations is the fact that the animal carcasses are found in areas with no marks or tracks of a vehicle or human being. Many accounts of animal mutilation involve unexplained sounds, lights and UFOs.

Modern Technical Advancement

There were lots of UFOs and other un-explainable phenomenon in the skies during World War II. It was during this time that the human race witnessed technological advancements that were then inconceivable to many. One of the outstanding inventions included the US aircraft Lockheed SR-71 Blackbird that broke the air speed record. Since then there have been many allegations that the technical advancements witnessed since WWII were achieved with the help of aliens. Many people believe that there is a massive cover up by government of information related to alien sightings and UFOs.

Teotihuacan

Some ancient monuments such as the Teotihuacan in Mexico, demonstrate a thorough understanding of astronomy that surpasses the knowledge of the people of that time.

Moreover, each stone weighs a whooping 800 tons.

The Nazca Lines

The Nazca lines have astounded archaeologists for many years. The lines are a group of ancient designs drawn into a high plateau in Nazca desert in Peru that stretch for over 50 miles. The drawings include geometric shapes and simple lines, drawings of human, animals and birds. The most puzzling thing about these drawings is that they can only be seen from way up in the air due to their sheer size. The Nazca people had not invented flying machines by then. It is believed that the lines were used as guidelines for spaceships as aliens came in for landing.
