Product Description
Did our ancestors receive a visit from above?
There are many people in the world who believe we are not alone in the universe, that alien life exists, and it is only a matter of time before irrefutable proof is found. Then there are others, who believe the proof is all around us: that alien astronauts have already visited our planet, thousands of years in the past, and have had a direct influence on the course of human history and the development of mankind.
Could a mysterious doorway carved into a sheer rock wall in Peru be a portal to another world? Could a cave in Ecuador contain strange metallic books inscribed with ancient alien technology? Do ancient religious texts describing angels actually hint at the presence of beings of a more extraterrestrial nature?
These are among the many theories at the heart of Ancient Aliens, an eye-opening fresh perspective on our relationship with the universe around us that examines the controversial idea that, throughout the lifetime of planet Earth, from the age of the dinosaurs to ancient Egypt and on to the present day, alien visitors have never been far away.

Full marks to the producers and presenters of this series, in bringing forward the latest thinking on a very thought-provoking subject. Erich Von Däniken of course is the high priest of the Ancient Astronaut concept, and some excellent investigators and thinkers have followed in his footsteps, notably Giorgio Tsoukalos, David Childress, and Graham Hancock, who all make contributions.
There's no doubt in my mind that many clues have been left behind from the ancient past in answer to the tantalising questions of "who are we?" and "where did we come from?" and the experts all bring their individual personalities and viewpoints to the fore in deciphering the evidence. There's no doubt that orthodox religious viewpoints take a bit of a hammering, and if you're a committed "creationist" then this series is definitely not for you.
If, however, you bring an open mind to what is being said, this series will be a stimulating experience, however controversial some of the ideas may seem.
I think the thrust of the argument is as follows: the people who lived in antiquity saw what was to them, some inexplicable events, and quite probably interacted with advanced civilisations "not of this earth". Of course, these primitive "earthlings" had no idea about space travel, genetic manipulation, advanced engineering and so on, and put their own interpretation on what they saw and experienced.
In the light of what we know today, many events described in the Bible and other ancient writings, could have a far more prosaic explanation than what was adopted at the time and handed down through the generations. It's quite possible that extraterrestrial civilisations many thousands of years in advance of ourselves, could have visited our little corner of the Universe on a regular basis and left various clues behind before their departure.
I think many of these clues are being jealously guarded by the orthodox Establishment and other vested interests, e.g. the Egyptologists, and the modern investigators have a tough job on their hands in trying to chip away and get nearer "the truth".
I particularly enjoyed the "Underwater Worlds" section, featuring the various submerged formations around the world, such as the "lost city" of Dwarka, the "pyramid" at Yonaguni, and so on. Are they natural or man-made? Have a look at the footage and decide for yourself.
This series has a good stab at explaining the Ancient Astronaut hypothesis and the various mysteries associated with it. I enjoyed it and would recommend it to anyone with an enquiring mind as to these age-old questions which, let's face it, will never be totally answered.

Format:DVD
i watched the first series on dvd back in the summer of last year and was very surprised with all the overwhelming evidence that this fantastic series presented. ancient aliens series 2 is certainly no different and you'll be amazed what's in store. this is a fantastic dvd and well worth the money. series 2 has 10 episodes that are 45 minutes each in length(450 minutes in total). this covers more subjects but is 3 hours shorter then the first ancient aliens dvd (that was over 10 hours long). i will list each episodes as follows.
DISC 1.
alien contacts.
alien devastations.
alien tech.
aliens and the third reich.
DISC 2.
angels and aliens.
gods and aliens.
mysterious places.
DISC 3.
underground aliens.
underwater worlds.
unexplained structures.
the scientific community need to stop ignoring the facts! aliens really do exist fact, they have been visiting are planet for thousands of years. the first human civilizations are much older then we thought. this series looks at new discoveries and locations. derinkuyu is a massive deep underground city in turkey that hold human populations between 20.000-50.000 people and is 8.000 years old, the city is more then 280 feet deep and has hundreds of rooms, networks of tunnels plus 15.000 ventilation ducts, livestock was kept within derinkuyu on a large scale. how these people made this city is a complete mystery and you need to see it to believe it.
it is believed derinkuyu was built because of a global ice age, so the civilization of that area built this massive underground city for shelter and survival. there is one problem is that theory, derinkuyu has 15.000 vents that could easily freeze-up from outside ice and because a 20.000 to 50.000 population would very easily deplete all breathable air within this city in a day or less. other flaws with this theory include no weather forecasts where available 8.000 years ago so how on earth did these people know of an ice age. the fact derinkuyu must of taken century's to build and experts admit even with advanced technology we would struggle to build it, also derinkuyu in very well built with no mistakes made from its builders, but the stone within is very soft so it could've easily collapsed from the massive weight and size of the chambers, but no mistakes whatsoever where made, so it begs the question did they really build this city alone? i really don't think so.
other ancient sites are presented that are just as compelling, if not better. the top scientists and archaeologist's are wrong and need to investigate this better, if they don't then it is injustice.

I watched the first Ancient Aliens series and was blown away by some of the evidence they provided, I waited patiently for season 2 to be released.
Often in documentary series, the 2nd season is never as good. That rule is totally broken here, the second season is much better than the first, I personally liked the Nazi episode and the Undeground City episode.
For anyone who has any remote interest in aliens, space or simply likes unusual, one off documentary series then this is a must.
I would recommend it to anyone and cant wait for season 3 now
AMAZING
