| Figures from mythology, like Thor, were taken straight from those ancient tales to create what we know as superheroes today. But, could these myths really have been ANCIENT ALIENS? |
There is much unexplained in the history of mankind. The further back you go, the harder it typically becomes to verify information, especially information passed from person to person—stories, sightings, drawing, i.e. information with no hard physical evidence. Even today, we know that witness accounts can be unreliable, even if an incident took place only hours ago; how can we rely on a tale that had its day in ancient times? ANCIENT ALIENS on the H2 Channel contends that we can’t.
ANCIENT ALIENS suggests that extraterrestrials are at the heart of many of man’s mysteries involving unexplained tales—Zeus, Thor, Hanuman, etc. In fact, some researchers suggest that extraterrestrials have been visiting our planet for millions of years, and their influence is what we often see interpreted by the ancients as “gods.” So, did intelligent beings from outer space visit Earth thousands of years ago? And, if they did, were they seen as “gods” or “superheroes” by those already here? Tonight on episode “Aliens & Superheroes,” ANCIENT ALIENS explores the roots of oral legends that became known as mythology through the centuries, but some theorize could have been the presence of aliens.
- From the beginning of recorded history, humans have told stories about beings with super-human strength, super-sonic speed, and supernatural abilities. The ancients had heroic tales about Zeus, Thor, and Hanuman while today we have superhero stories about Superman, Batman, and Spider-man. Mythologists say these epic stories resemble each other because they may have all come from a common set of oral legends created eons ago by our earliest ancestors. But might there be another, more otherworldly reason that the world’s heroic myths are so similar? Is it possible, as many Ancient Astronaut Theorists contend, that these stories are actually based on extraordinary– and possibly extraterrestrial–beings that lived on Earth in the distant past?
