Aliens!

Giorgio Tsoukalos, famous from the show "Ancient Aliens" is getting his own show "In Search of Aliens."  I wonder if they got the OK from that old "In Search of" show that starred Leonard Nimoy?

Anyway, I enjoy watching Ancient Aliens as I am into all sorts of paranormal topics.  However, when it comes right down to it, I really don't think there were ancient aliens.

Now, previous Ice Age civilizations that rose and fell before our recorded history, I think that could be a possibility.  In fact, after certain anomalous finds such as the antikythera device and Gobeckli Tepe, I think there was a prior high level of civilization in the world that was probably wiped out at the end of the last ice age when ocean levels rose over 300 feet.  

I don't think that these prior civilizations were all that advanced either.  One argument against is that if they were at our technological era, we'd find remains of metals and materials that could only be made by a technologically advanced society such as plastic and Styrofoam and their equivalent of Twinkies.

So, even if there had been ice age civilizations, I think they probably didn't get too far.  Probably on level with our "dark ages" when there was little material sophistication but surprisingly advanced trade and travel going on.  Ivory from elephants has been found in Anglo-Saxon burials from the 4th century, so things from all over the world could get swapped around even by the earliest civilizations.   And the early Anglo-Saxons were doing this (even getting amber from the Baltic) without a written language either.  The argument that no written inscriptions at Gobeckli Tepe mean it was an isolated and primitive civilization is no proof.  

Well, that's what I think anyway.  As neither dogmatic science or I, an armchair theorist of weird theories, can ever be proved right or wrong, its all just so much speculation.
