Ancient Aliens: Origins Show Summary, Upcoming Episodes and TV Guide

Across cultures and throughout history, stories of individuals receiving wisdom from otherworldly sources are widespread. In biblical accounts, prophets are granted moral codes through divine encounters. The Oracle of Delphi communicated directly with the Greek god Apollo, delivering his messages to humanity. Similarly, external influences appear to have shaped pivotal moments in history. Joan of Arc claimed to have had visions that drove her to lead the French army, while George Washington reported an apparition that guided him during the Revolutionary War. Many of history's greatest minds, including Albert Einstein, Nikola Tesla, and Srinivasa Ramanujan, attributed their groundbreaking insights to inspiration that seemed to come from beyond our world. Could it be that key events and monumental breakthroughs in human history were guided by extraterrestrial messengers?

Earth's deep, uncharted waters have long been a source of wonder and speculation about what lies beneath. From the submerged ruins of Dwarka and Japan's Yonaguni Monument to the strange 'road' discovered near the Bermuda Triangle, ancient underwater structures hint at civilizations lost to time. From legends of aquatic cities ruled by gods and creatures like Loch Ness and the Kraken to frequent UFO sightings, might these point to an otherworldly presence lurking in Earth watery depths?

Ancient sites like Stonehenge, Newgrange, and Egypt's Pyramids of Giza reveal astonishing celestial alignments that seem far from coincidence. Across the globe, from the Mayan temples and Hopi settlements to the pyramid complex of Teotihuacan, massive structures seem to mirror the heavens above–especially when seen from the skies. What purpose do they serve? Were these alignments crafted to signal entities from the stars? Do they mark the origins of otherworldly visitors? Or do they conceal a hidden purpose–one that humanity has yet to uncover?

Throughout history, legendary weaponry and advanced technologies have often been attributed to divine or extraterrestrial influences. Japanese swords were believed to be forged with the help of the supernatural, while mythical weapons granted by otherworldly beings were wielded by iconic figures like Joan of Arc and King Arthur. The enigmatic Greek fire, whose origins remain a mystery to historians, is yet another weapon attributed to these so-called-gods. And as humanity developed nuclear capabilities, references in ancient Vedic scriptures to weapons of similar destructive power raise profound questions about our past. Even more intriguing is the evidence suggesting the existence of intelligent defense systems seemingly protecting Earth. Could all of these weapons have originated from… an alien arsenal?

Based solely on Charles Darwin's Theory of Evolution, the rapid development of modern humans seems impossible without a ‘missing link.' Could this link involve extraterrestrial intervention? Join Giorgio Tsoukalos, William Henry, and Jason Martell as they delve into the series archives of 'Ancient Aliens' to uncover compelling clues about mankind's true origins. Discover evidence within religious texts, records from Earth's first civilizations, unexplained anomalies in human physiology, and clues embedded within our very own DNA. Could extraterrestrials have really guided human evolution? And if so, does the experiment with the human genome persist even today?

Compelling evidence of ancient flying machines is found in cultures across the globe. The Saqqara Bird, an artifact from ancient Egypt on display at the Cairo Museum, strikingly resembles modern aircraft. Ancient Sanskrit texts describe vimanas–intricate flying machines of the gods–in remarkable detail, while early biblical accounts contain similar technical references to the 'chariots of the gods.' Ancient Astronaut theorists Giorgio Tsoukalos, William Henry, and Jason Martell delve into the series archives of 'Ancient Aliens' to reveal the most compelling evidence of ancient flying machines and explore the possibility that these extraterrestrial close encounters have persisted throughout the ages.
