a couple things..
1. we don't know how many written records of Jesus were destroyed in 70 AD.
2. Jesus was not royalty. Most, if not all of the historical documentation was regarding royalty for many many centuries. Jesus was not considered royalty...

Nah, they have nothing to worry about. There are enough people in the audience that are ignorant about ancient artifacts, culture, religion and history to allow shows like this to fill their minds with idiotic nonsense until the cows come home. Those that watch these shows and swallow the intentional misinformation wont be swayed by anything that they consider 'debunkery" or the like. These shows cater to the ignorant, and those that have a religious like desire to ignore reality and leap to the least likley conclusion. These shows state things that are contrary to thousands of schooled folks who have studied ancient artifacts like the ones they are claiming are alien related.
These shows are nothing more than fodder for the "useful idiot's" mind, and nothing you can say or do will help them see reality, for reality is too mundane, and fantasy is way more entertaining...thus we have idiotic shows like this.

To see someone debunking a show? Kind of confuses me. I mean are they saying the show is bunk and all made up? Or that the presenters are?

Or What? Cause while some of their conclusions were worthy of the South Park episode, some of it lead me to research some interesting objects and legends around the world and whether Aliens played a role or not it was no bunk and I would have never gotten the enjoyment of my research had it not been for the shows strange fascination with connecting everything in history to Aliens.

My decades-long investigations into claims such as the ones on that show were prompted by fringe writers. Had it not been for the lies, mischaracterizations and half-truths promulgated by Erik VonDaniken, I never would have been very interested in the ancient past. It was always too boring for me when I was a student. Fringe authors led me to an interest in ancient history, if only to prove them wrong (a pursuit that I have had some success at, if I may say so.)

If you believe in religion yet dismiss ancient alien theory as "idiotic", you're seriously facepalm worthy.
There's more evidence for ancient aliens than all religions put together.
I'm not saying ancient aliens were real, but there are certainly a lot more artifacts than any religion.
