Digging Up Ancient Aliens

Are you ready to uncover the secret code to Alien navigation? Or are the evidence just historical sites that are being misinterpreted?In Digging up Ancient Aliens, our host Fredrik uses his background in archaeology to discover what is genuine, fake, and somewhere in between on the TV show Ancient Aliens.This time we're investigating the claim that different lines and grids cross the earth with strange powers. According to the believers, these grids were used by the Ancient Aliens to navigate, and in some of the locations, power stations were built. So, is there any truth in this? Let's examine this with a bit of skepticism and science.First, we start by trying to locate what some call the World Grid, Planetary Grid, or Earth Energy Grid. Some propose that Plato first discovered this. Is this true, or was the philosopher talking about something else?Then we go to Ireland and the Newgrange Mound. Could this monument hold alien alignments that the Neolithic people of Ireland could not have known?Then we investigate Ley Lines, Viking forts, and if the Vikings could have traveled not by sea. But by air. Lastly, we will look into Thor Heyerdahl and ask ourselves what harm pseudoscience can cause and what other ideas it can inspire.

In this episode, we continue to look into Graham Hancock's new Netflix show, Ancient Apocalypse. Join Fredrik, who uses his background in archaeology and a bit of skepticism to look deeper into the claims presented in the show. Is Hancock on to something we missed, or are there better explanations?This is the final chapter of our Ancient Apocalypse saga. We have looked at Hancock's origin and spent time at several different sites in episodes 31 and 32. In this episode, we revisit the infamous Bimini Road in the Bahamas. This site has long been touted as evidence of everything from extraterrestrial visitation to Graham Hancock's lost civilization. But is there any evidence to support these claims? We critically examine the site and its history, separating fact from fiction.We then delve into the world of old maps, including Piri Reis's map of the world, which has been the subject of much speculation and controversy. Is there any evidence suggesting that this map proves advanced ancient civilizations existed? We examine the claims and see where the evidence sets the course.Later, we're joined by archaeologist Jens Notroff, an expert on Göbekli Tepe, an archaeological site that has been the subject of many pseudoscientific theories. Jens shares his knowledge and insights about the site, bringing you the latest research. He has also been involved in the project Tepe Telegrams. Finally, we explore the archeoastronomy claims made by Martin Sweatman and presented by Graham Hancock. Are these claims based on solid evidence or mere speculation? We examine the evidence and present a critical analysis.In this episode:Bimini Road (2:33)Piri Reis Map and Oronteus Finaeus (11:50)Göbekli Tepe (20:32)Interview with Jens Notroff (21:09)Göbekli Tepe - The stellar connection (44:32)----------------------------------------Read more about Jens Notroff and his projects here:https://jensnotroff.com/https://www.dainst.blog/the-tepe-telegrams/----------------------------------------Social Media:Facebook: facebook.com/Digging-up-Ancient-Aliens-108173641647111/Twitter: twitter.com/DUAncientAliensInstagram: instagram.com/digging_up_ancient_aliens/TikTok: tiktok.com/@digging_up_ancient_alienContact:<a href="https://diggingupancientaliens.com/contact.html" rel="noopener noreferrer"...

Netflix's new documentary Ancient Apocalypse was on top of the charts for quite some time. The show is hosted by Graham Hancock, a writer who has written several books regarding his theory of a lost stone age civilization. The series is based on Hancock's books "Magicians of the Gods" and "America before."But how well do Hancock's claims hold up when examined? In this episode, Fredrik, with his background in archaeology, looks into the origins of the theories of Hancock. We will learn more about what he is about and where these ideas originated. This journey will be through esoterism, Blavatskian Theosophy, philosophy, and archaeological methods.&nbsp;We're also joined by Dr. Jeb Card and Brian Dunning, who shares their knowledge about these ideas.&nbsp;Dr. Card is an Assistant Teaching Professor at Miami University and a pre-Hispanic Maya political history specialist. He has also been dealing with pseudoscience for a long time. Dr. Card has written&nbsp;Spooky Archaeology&nbsp;and co-edited&nbsp;Lost city, found pyramid. He is also the co-host of the podcast "In research of"&nbsp;and, previously, co-host of&nbsp;Archaeological Fantasies.Brian Dunning is the host of the award-winning show&nbsp;Skeptoid, that's been going on for 16 years. He has also produced several documentaries, but recently "Science friction." It's a documentary about how filmmakers edit scientists out of context, something people have witnessed happening in Ancient Apocalypse. Brian also has a new documentary that will soon be released called "The UFO Movie THEY Don't Want You to See".In this episode:Intro and setting of the stageJeb Card Interview (4:30)Atlantis (23:40)Hyperdiffusion (35:02)Atlantis: Rebirth (39:40)Ignatius Donnelly (42:28)Esoterism (50:32)Helena Blavatsky and Theosophy (51:13)Rudolf Steiner and Anthroposophy (54:18)Edgar Cayce (55:18)Brian Dunning Interview (59:36)Social Media:Facebook: facebook.com/Digging-up-Ancient-Aliens-108173641647111/Twitter: twitter.com/DUAncientAliensInstagram: instagram.com/digging_up_ancient_aliens/TikTok: tiktok.com/@digging_up_ancient_alienContact:https://diggingupancientaliens.com/contactThe intro music is Lily of the woods by Sandra Marteleur, and the outro is named “Folie hatt” by...

Did a UFO really crash in Germany and did it contain blueprints for advanced weapons?Who was Maria Orsic and could she really control the power of Vril?Is there remains of a wonder weapon in an abandoned polish mine?Our host Fredrik continues the mission to discover what is genuine, fake, and somewhere in between on the TV-show Ancient Aliens. In this episode we will break down episode ten from season two (Ancient Aliens S02E10) called “Aliens and the Third Reich”. It originally aired on November 25 2010.This episode will be a bit more serious one than usual. Even if we tend to research topics and claims within this episode contain a bit of extra of it. We will digg down into claims that Nazi Germany had contact with or built their advanced weaponry upon lost alien technology. The ideas that on the surface seem to be just loony and a bit out there did contain a quite dark history that the History Channel seems to have been ignoring.Most of the show is built upon the ideas of Neo-Nazis, original nazis, spiritual sources and missinformation. Strong claims but my research is going in that direction. To back this up I’ve added my sources and also a transcription of the show. If you know people who don’t listen to podcasts they can read it instead. All the sources used and transcript can be found at our website diggingupancientaliens.com.Just a brief CW, it is an episode that focuses heavily on the second world war.

It originally aired in November 2010.This is an episode that will bring us to the warm sun in Greece to visit the ancient gods up on Mount Olympus. We will travel more north and to the great halls of Odin and Thor. Could these mythological gods really be aliens in disguise? To help us sort these theories out properly we had to go big and slightly inebriated. Joining us this week is Cait and other Jenn from “Drunk Mythology Gals”.&nbsp;&nbsp;We take a deep dive into the mythology of aliens and the theories that Zeus and Odin are the same person.
