Well I would simply say, Gorgio needs to go back to the drawing boards. In my opinion, the AA Theory is thoroughly debunked!
Chris White is notorious for his debunkings. He's debunked David Icke, Michael Tsarion and others. Now he takes on a huge topic. The Ancient Astronaut Theory. The basic premise is that Gorgio and the gang omit facts, or in some instances flat out lies about any given topic in order to make it seem like the Anciet Astronaut Theory has credibility. Much of the speculation comes from the work of Zachariah Sitchen. The video features ancient language scholar Dr Michael Heiser (sitchiniswrong.com) who prior to the passing of Sitchin, challenged him to a debate several times. As fantastic and amazing the AAT is, it simply doesn't have any legs to stand on under careful examination of the claims.

I think much of history is as plain as we see it.
Yes shocking to see the quarries with big rocks but thats the way walls were
built and no mystery to me either after seeing the video.
If you want mysteries to track down or to find there are still some around that
have been worked on already but are none the less interesting.

ok. i've managed to return here after watching this.
a bit of background... I latched onto these theories many years ago. I've watched countless documentaries, videos, read blogs, sites, articles on AA theory and loosely related theories, but using the same base, namely that of Sitchin and Von Danniken.
I am almost 40 yrs old. I'm not an idiot, or at least I thought I wasn't.
I've returned here to say, that Sitchin is a fraud, as is von Danniken. Many people told me this before. I argued, using "facts" such as granite blocks cut with lasers, monolithic stones being moved with sound. I used documentaries such as "the pyramid code" and "revelation of the pyramids" as reference points. I convinced many people to open their minds.
WHAT AN IDIOT I'VE BEEN. I can barely begin to explain how I feel. None of it was real. It's all utter garbage. If you deny this, you should seriously take a step back and apply some common sense. You cannot really argue about aliens building massive structures on earth when the basis of your argument is a confirmed lie.
we have all been had.

I set up a website, ran it for years. believed that this was one day going to be the basis for a new dawn of understanding for the human race. It made me feel excited, happy. It was always in the back of my mind. The interest the AA theories generated warmed my imagination.

we have all been had. You cannot deny the debunking in this video. There are many unanswered questions, but these are the same unanswered questions that the mainstream believers and historians have. There is no basis at all for the ancient alien theory, there is NO EVIDENCE, it was all lies.
poke fun at the debunker, call him whatever. But look at the fact. Granite blocks are actually sandstone. they can be cut with tools. There are no "perfect angles". This is just one example. this documentary hits you hard. BANG BANG BANG. there is no defense against the facts presented. Some of the theories are counteracted with other theories, but it's the missing information and background you were never given that's the killer.
I've been mentally raped. 5 years of my mind being pumped with a drug only to find out the supply has been cut. I will NEVER believe anything again. I've gone so badly wrong this time. I feel like an idiot.
to those debunking the debunk: Get some common sense, shut up and walk away quietly. Maybe nobody will notice the monumental error in judgement you've made. To those refusing to watch it. YOU are your own worst enemy, you're a dreamer and denying fact, don't do it any longer. You are wasting your time and thought cycles. Watching the simpsons is probably more beneficial.

Still. There are mysteries in the world. Astounding accomplishments. Possibilities. A person shouldn't shut themselves off from those just because they don't necessarily include aliens. The fun part is to try to put yourself in the mindset of a genius thousands of years ago, trying to solve a problem with limited information. Also to give credit where it's due.

While I realize the section of this forum that this thread appears in, it's not that there's no aliens (to me,) but rather the lies about the past promulgated by VonDaniken, Sitchin, Hancock, Cremo, etc.
I don't argue UFOs in this forum section. Only ancient aliens, and the lies told by the fraudsters pushing this inane idea.
