    It‘s Probably (not) Aliens!

    Was Earth really visited by mysterious extraterrestrial travelers thousands of years ago as many proponents of ”ancient astronaut theory” believe? What are the hidden secrets and mysteries behind ancient monuments and forgotten civilizations?
    Every week, historian Tristan Johnson and regular human person Scott Niswander dive through the archives to learn about the fascinating histories of ancient civilizations while also debunking the myths and straight-up lies presented in History Channel‘s massively popular tv show Ancient Aliens that has sparked a new generation of conspiracy theorists. We hope through this show, you can gain an appreciation for just how cool ancient societies were, and not simply credit their impressive advancements to alien visitors.

    Beer, Pizza, and Big Rocks: How Ancient Buildings Were Actually Made Nov 19, 2024

    From the Great Pyramids to Baalbek, ancient astronaut theorists claim that mysterious acoustic levitation technology was used to move massive stones. But what happens when you actually look at the physics of sound? Join us as we explore the real engineering achievements of ancient civilizations, debunk the myths around acoustic levitation, and discover why using sound waves to move massive rocks would literally liquidize human organs. Plus, we'll dive into the actual historical evidence of how these magnificent structures were built - spoiler alert: it involved a lot of beer.

    Why Ancient People Could Actually Art Nov 05, 2024

    From Egyptian sun disks to Mayan turtle sculptures, watch in horror as Ancient Aliens transforms religious symbols into spaceships, completely ignoring centuries of cultural context and artistic expression. Learn about the actual meanings behind these ancient artworks while questioning why Ancient Aliens thinks people from the past were incapable of abstract thought or, you know, just making cool stuff because they wanted to. Features special appearances by the sun god Ra, some very meaningful turtles, and self-described-expternally-described-as-modern-day-indiana-jones David Childress make baffling claims about cave paintings.

We'll also explore how we managed to confuse rocks, misplace a few billion dollars in military spending, and accidentally transport a moustached TV host to the Mexican desert - all in a day's work.

    It's Probably Not Aliens Holiday Special: Protocol Atlantis Dec 22, 2023

    Get new episodes early on Nebula!

    The year is 7023. Humanity has admittedly had a rough go of it. Last christmas, a shapeshifting alien from Earth disguising itself as Santa wreaked havoc on the X Intellectual Conference at the X Convention Center, in X City. Nobody is sure how it got there, but everyone knows it was stopped by two brave heroes: Derrick Von Erican and Indianapolis Dave. Interestingly enough, those two JUST came back from Earth, and stories of their time there have been wildly published, generating more interest in the Pale Grey Dot.

    General Michael Ivan Cochran is the head of the Martian Military, which accounts for 60% of the Martian annual budget to protect from extra-terrestrial threats. That WILL show up. Any. Day. Now. MIC has reason to suspect there are actually ALIENS on the Earth, and even scarier: GIANT aliens, and even scarier still UNDERWATER GIANT ALIENS. Around the end of the year, they assemble some sort of alien instrument with various pieces around a giant tree. Now, this COULD just be a community sharing gifts with each other for a winter holiday… or it COULD be an alien super weapon meant to destroy all of Mars. the ONLY way to be safe, is to send a small strike team of two HEROES back to Earth, to steal the pieces of this super weapon before all of Mars can be destroyed. And who better than the heroes who saved last Christmas, and also, ENTIRELY COINCIDENTALLY, went to Earth around the same time? This is: Its Probably Not Aliens: Protocol Atlantis.

    It's that time of year we put aside our chrome tabs for dice and 3 grown adults play pretend on a microphone for the entertainment of dozens. Happy holidays!

    28: Cattle Mutilation: Why Are Aliens So Interested In Our Cows? Mar 22, 2022

    WARNING: Please do not listen to this episode if you are not interested in hearing detailed descriptions of animals being killed and decomposing.

    Turns out, aliens can't get enough of earth cows. They love these little beauties! So much so that conspiracy theorists have long believed that aliens visit farms to steal, kill, and dissect our animals just for fun.

    HOLES! What are they for? How are they made? We’ll never know for sure. But today we’re talking about the Band of Holes and how this strange mile-long stretch of shallow holes may have played an important part in the Incan Empire, but not the way Ancient Aliens thinks.

    We're traveling back to 1984 today to meet ALH84001, or as we like to call him, Al! Al is an ancient chunk of Mars that made its way to Earth, and scientists have been arguing for decades if this cute little space potato may prove the existence of alien life!

    Tristan is away so Scott will play... with rocks! Why do people see strange lights in the sky right before an earthquake? Is there a secret city of aliens hidden in the depths of a volcano?

Scott is not in this episode because he got distracted making dinner and completely missed out on this rad conversation. Seriously, I wish it was a better excuse. ADHD, man. What can you do?

    17. King Akhenaten: Was Egypt Ruled By A Half-Alien Half-Human Pharaoh? Jan 04, 2022

    King Akhenaten has an absolutely buck wild history! Any art depicting him looks drastically different than other Pharaohs, with a bulbous head, spindly arms, and overall alien-esque appearance. And after he died, any mention of him was scratched out of Egyptian history almost like ancient Egyptians were trying to cover something up...

    12. Pumapunku: Erasing Indigenous Cultures For Political Gain Nov 23, 2021

    The site of Pumapunku is home to some incredible, immaculate carved stones that are so precise that researchers are still today trying to find out how they were made. And, of course, whenever there’s a gap in knowledge, ancient astronaut theorists always fill it with ALIENS!

    But beyond those weirdos, these important ancient sites have been co-opted and weaponized by completely different peoples and political groups to try and spread their own agendas. Yep, we’re talking about Nazis in this one. Also Elon Musk. Sorry in advance.

    To celebrate 10 episodes of this podcast, we’re taking a page from Ancient Aliens and kicking it into overdrive as we rapidly debunk a handful of theories about ancient airplanes, airports, and flying carpets! These are theories that are so small and so poorly researched that we can cover three of them in one episode. It really is that easy sometimes.

    08. The Piri Reis Map: Did Aliens Discover Antarctica? Oct 26, 2021

    MAPS! You’ve heard of them! But one map from history stands out as a bit odd. The Piri Reis map from 1513 seems to contain more cartographical information about our world than was thought to be known at the time, having drawn out Antarctica centuries before it was officially discovered.

    Could they have gotten detailed information about our world from aliens who would have had an easier time traversing the planet in their spacecraft? How is Nicolas Cage involved? Why does this episode have a weird energy? Navigate yourself to the play button and find out!

    But there are some genuine mysteries surrounding how and why these works of art were made, and more ominously... why did they abruptly stop making them? Was an Italian plumber involved? We'll never know for sure!

    Today we welcome on special guest Dr. Andrew Mark Henry from the popular YouTube channel Religion For Breakfast to talk about Ezekiel. Did this biblical prophet see visions of angels, or did he really see alien visitors in a flying saucer?

    More importantly, we discuss the central theme of this podcast in depth: do ancient astronaut theories take away creative credit from these fascinating people and cultures? Yes, obviously. But listen anyway because we say more words about it.

    05. King Pakal: An Actual Ancient Astronaut? Oct 03, 2021

    The Mayan King Pakal is dead. That's not the weird part. The weird part is the lid of his sarcophagus which has been carved with mysterious artwork that appears as if he's blasting off into space on an ancient Mayan spaceship. But is Pakal really a Palenque astronaut? Did he get this oddly advanced technology from alien visitors? Or, is there a more grounded explanation for this otherworldly imagery?

    04. Vimanas: Ancient Flying Machines? Oct 03, 2021

    If the Nazca Lines were ancient airports (and they weren't or else we'd have found evidence of ancient Cinnabons) then what were the aircraft that might have flown out of them? To Ancient Aliens theorists, the answer is Vimanas — mythological flying chariots described in ancient Hindu texts.

    At least, that is the conclusion you'd probably come to if you just made a whole bunch of stuff up. Which is, of course, what happened.

    03. Nazca Lines: Giant Animal Drawings for Alien Overlords? Oct 03, 2021

    We're FINALLY actually talking about the show Ancient Aliens today to discuss the Nazca Lines — massive geoglyphs located in the Peruvian coastal plain. Some are just lines, while some are in the intricate shapes of animals. But, you can only see these figures from the sky... kinda.

    Were they symbols meant for extraterrestrial visitors? Were they runways for ancient aircraft? How could these have even been built in the first place? It's impossible to know! Except, uh, actually it's not. The actual history behind the Nazca Lines is even more interesting than assuming they were made by aliens.

    01. Where are all the aliens?! Oct 02, 2021

    Before we can debunk a bunch of Ancient Aliens theories, we first need to ask the big question... are aliens even out there? In part one of this question, Tristan discusses the Fermi Paradox and gives Scott all the theories about the human species might tragically be alone in the universe.

    But don't get too sad! Next week we'll be talking about all the evidence that suggests the opposite of this idea! Maybe aliens are out there, but we haven't encountered them yet. Or perhaps they WERE here and impacted ancient civilizations. Let's find out!

    It‘s Probably (not) Aliens Trailer! Oct 01, 2021

    Was Earth really visited by mysterious extraterrestrial travelers thousands of years ago as many proponents of "ancient astronaut theory" believe? What are the hidden secrets and mysteries behind ancient monuments and forgotten civilizations?

    Every week, actual smart person Tristan Johnson and regular non-smart person Scott Niswander dive through the archives to learn about the fascinating histories of ancient civilizations while also debunking the myths and straight-up lies presented in History Channel's massively popular tv show Ancient Aliens that has sparked a new generation of conspiracy theorists.

    We hope through this show, you can gain an appreciation for just how cool ancient societies were, and not simply credit their impressive advancements to alien visitors.
