But I don't have to see it to know its a piece of shit. This show made the History Channel into a joke.
Modern idiots refuse to believe that the ancients were capable of anything. Just because they didn't have the advanced tech of today doesn't mean they weren't just as intelligent and creative. There is ample explanation for how the ancient wonders were built.
Why did they spend twenty years building the pyramids? (As asked above) Because they could! That's why! Human beings have always expended resources and energy and massive amounts of time into vanity projects. We still do today! It is and always has been a cornerstone of civilization. And don't forget the religious and political significance of these ancient undertakings.
Yes, the pyramids were built by Egyptians. Not fucking aliens. And not mythical Aquamen from Atlantis.
But, boy, is it fun in its silliness. The editing, the ridiculous pseudoscientists who serve as talking heads (plus random inserts of actual scientists and historians who, conveniently, never mention a thing about aliens), and Giorgio Tsoukalos! Giorgio’s hair’s existence singlehandedly proves his theory’s existence. He is, without a doubt, a being from outer-space. No doubt in my mind.
But it is delightfully dotty, mindless programming. I just like watching it to laugh, take my mind off whatever may be going on during a day.
Maybe I'll try it sometime. I just think, as a big history buff, it will just irritate me more than anything.
