The popular History Channel show Ancient Aliens debuted in 2009 and has since become a staple of the channel, with over 15 seasons and counting. The show is hosted by Robert Clotworthy, a veteran voice actor who has lent his talents to a variety of documentaries and video games.

Ancient Aliens explores the theory that extraterrestrial beings have been visiting Earth since ancient times, and may have even played a role in shaping human history. The show takes a comprehensive look at the evidence for this theory, examining ancient texts, artifacts, and structures that many believe could not have been created by humans alone.

Each episode of Ancient Aliens focuses on a different aspect of the ancient astronaut theory, from ancient cave paintings that depict strange beings to towering megaliths that seem impossible for ancient humans to have constructed. The show's experts weave together disparate pieces of evidence to build a compelling case for the idea that our ancestors may have had contact with alien civilizations.

One of the hallmarks of Ancient Aliens is its wide range of experts and viewpoints. While the show often features fringe thinkers and conspiracy theorists, it also includes legitimate academics and scientists who lend credibility to the theories presented. Viewers will see interviews with archaeologists, historians, UFO enthusiasts, and even astronauts.

Some of the most fascinating episodes of Ancient Aliens explore the possibility that extraterrestrial life may have influenced human religion and mythology. The show delves into ancient texts from cultures around the world, looking for similarities in stories of gods, angels, and other divine beings. These stories are often interpreted as evidence of alien visitation, with some theorists suggesting that many ancient cultures may have been visited by the same extraterrestrial race.

Another interesting aspect of Ancient Aliens is its examination of ancient technology that seems beyond the capabilities of humans at the time. The show takes a close look at ancient megalithic structures like Stonehenge and the pyramids of Egypt, as well as mysterious artifacts like the Antikythera mechanism. These structures and devices baffle scientists and historians to this day, leading some to believe that they must have been created with the help of advanced extraterrestrial technology.

Despite its often controversial subject matter, Ancient Aliens remains a hugely popular show, drawing in millions of viewers each week. Part of its appeal lies in its willingness to explore bizarre and unconventional theories, while also presenting these ideas in an engaging and thought-provoking way. Whether you're a die-hard believer in ancient astronauts or a skeptic looking to explore a fascinating theory, Ancient Aliens is a must-watch for anyone interested in the mysteries of our ancient past.

Ancient Aliens is a series that ran for 20 seasons (294 episodes) between April 20, 2010 and on History
