From the publisher
What if the gods of ancient myth were never gods at all? Ancient Astronauts explores the theory that advanced extraterrestrial beings influenced early human civilization. Hosted by Ben Carter, each episode investigates ancient temples, sacred texts, unexplained artifacts, and cosmic alignments through a structured, documentary-style approach. Examining the evidence, patterns, and records, the series explores ideas often linked to conspiracy theories and forbidden knowledge.
