		<description>I feel your pain Brian. I&#039;m an art historian and in order to prevent the black rage that was encompassing me I had to take a few xanax after the Ancient Alien experts shared their extensive knowledge on Leonardo da Vinci.</description>

		<description>Really Steve?......false idol worship huh? for one thing, we are not worshiping aliens, we are merely discussing their possible existence. I have not come across one person that bows down whenever &quot;aliens&quot; is said; and im not sure i follow what you mean when you said about &quot;people thought of all kinds of gods for 1000s of years and drew them...&quot; that thought is a little too short for me. are you saying people in the past thought of many gods for a long time and now they don&#039;t? well if thats the case then im sure in 700 more years from now people will believe in NO god or gods. Wouldn&#039;t that be nice? :) if we could get rid of religion we can get rid of hate and war. seems to be the only reason people hate each other and kill each other. We are a pretty sad race aren&#039;t we? we have a lot to learn before ANY race should visit us (if they exist). do you really give much attention to a random 2 year old when they are babbling to you? so why do you think a Race would with us? We are idiots to think that, &quot;if they exist then where are they? why haven&#039;t they shown themselves to us?&quot;. I would feel stupid calling myself Human if we were visited by something or someone. i would essentially be calling myself an ant...or a spec of dust that has landed in dog poop if i walked up to them and said &quot;Hiya! im a human being nice to meet you&quot; lmao.</description>

		<description>wow, i read a few of the things, people come up with some good answers to what happened in the past and why its stupid to believe we are a product of &quot;aliens&quot;. I guess all of the believers on here forgot that you all were here 5000 years ago and lived up until now to tell everyone exactly what happened! no one knows where we came from but give science long enough and everything will be answered...may take 100 years, may take 1000 but i would rather put my money on those people and other people like them (the scientists you people are bashing). Science is a need or yearning for fact.i myself obviously believe in other cultures on other planets, whether they be microbes, or civilizations that have been around for millions of years. the dinosaurs lived for millions of years..its been tested and proven. so why do you think a civilization somewhere else can&#039;t. Well on another note if we are a product of &quot;them&quot; then why are we sooo stupid. hmm good question right. just trying to think out of the box and not take sides too bad. If living things can survive thousands of feet below the ocean, by volcanic tubes that pump out immense heat and a large amount of toxins; where the pressure alone would decimate anything up here on land. You have to believe that something can &quot;live&quot; on another planet. i guess let me finish with this. To all those out there that say its impossible or can&#039;t happen. The world was once thought to be flat...it&#039;s not. please Don&#039;t be of that mindset Learn,Grow,Evolve my fellow humans! :)</description>

		<description>I once asked an engineer a question, which he was unable or unwilling to answer he said to me, I am fully educated, you are not. I don&#039;t have to listen, or discuss anything with you.--- Maybe this is  the reason so many academics wont listen to any body that does not hold a degree, (THE SHAME OF IT.)</description>

		<description>I&#039;m one for humility. Ultimately, if the information is wrong, then it&#039;s wrong. Ideas that contradict proven science, can come off as frustrating, but they&#039;re also a chance to further grok the truth, whatever that may be. Like a helpful obstacle. Documentaries are starting points for further research and study, and not so much tools of ultimate truth. I don&#039;t doubt that Mr. Switek is intelligent and educated, but hey, why not be encouraging and add some levity to it? We can have fun with these things as opposed to treating them like evil enemies that threaten the future of good science. My self-esteem doesn&#039;t rely on how right I am and I&#039;m not afraid to shift the paradigm. The truth is self-sustaining, and as a wise man once said, the only mistakes you can make along the path to truth are not starting and not going all the way. For me, Ancient Aliens is a start, but let&#039;s not forget to go all the way for the truth and science.</description>

		<description>OK Mr. Know it all, explain to how the hell my Aztec ancestors were able to build such huge pyramids with a shovel, man power and hand made bricks. Yet they didn&#039;t have the technology we do have today. Even today engineers do have issues building gigantic structures. Yeah right chisels, shovels and wheel barrels were used hah aha.....</description>

		<description>Say what you may, they do raise questions. And yes I do want to know how a 200 ton rock was lifted a few thousand years ago.  Buddy its rude to use words like noxious sludge.  You are not the father of all knowledge. Nothing is set in stone. Curiosity has driven man to many answers. You should not forget that the realm of possibility is infinite.</description>

		<description>While the shows Ancient Aliens is full of mistakes, there is no doubts that humans and Extra-terrestrials are link, as the human are the creation of the ET&#039;s. 
Those who believe in god and in evolution at the same time, are pretty messed up, and no wonder why this country is so confuse. There is no god, nor evolution, but there are the Elohim (Extra-terrestrials creators of the Human races) and the evolution only resides in the work of the Elohim scientists who created the ecosystem, the animals and then the human to their image, using DNA. The process took some thousands of years.
Intelligent Design, message from the Designers is a book that everyone owe to read for his own information.</description>

		<description>I believe in Santa Claus and that aliens are a figment of bored people&#039;s minds with over active imaginations who cannot prove a single thing.  Yes, much of science is theories, thankfully those &#039;theories&#039; are why you are reading this print on a screen at this very moment. Most aliens are merely close views of  the Praying Mantis.  Oh no, not the reptilians too. C&#039;mon people thought there were all kinds of gods for 1000s of years and drew them...in short, aliens is false idol worship.</description>

		<description>referring to the area Puma Punku, Adam and Eve were naked, they would have to have protection at night time. could this be the garden of Eden. Why are all the old ruins referred to as temples, why are all the pyramids called tombs, no bodies have ever been found in any of them.</description>
