Ep 9. Aliens and Deadly Weapons

In season 3, episode 9 of "Ancient Aliens," entitled "Aliens and Deadly Weapons," the premise is centered around the theory that alien intervention may be behind some of humanity's deadliest weapons.

The episode begins with a look at ancient cave paintings that some believe depict aliens holding advanced weapons. The narration bucks centuries-old beliefs about ancient weaponry and introduces the thought that these things come from a technology far beyond that which humans have been capable of creating.

The documentary highlights specific examples of what it considers to be evidence of such alien intervention. We see the Greek festival of Kronia which had a theatrical reenactment of what appears to be an actual ancient battle, complete with weapons of devastating proportions. The show poses the idea that the depiction of ancient weapons, some of which emit beams of light and energy, cannot possibly be of earthly origin, as no civilization at the time was thought capable of creating such deadly devices.

Another example is a look into the testing and usage of the atomic bomb. The showmakers put forth the idea that the power emitted by the bomb could not be the work of human hands. The level of destruction portrayed in the weapon's aftermath, coupled with the overwhelming radiation, seems unlikely to have been executed by any government we know on earth. Some have suggested that the weapons are merely available for those brave enough to use them.

A further portion of the show presents theories of what an advanced alien civilisation would do with these weapons. There is a focus on the possibility that extraterrestrial races may regard nuclear weapons as a means of harnessing cosmic power. It could be a way to gather the energy required to create wormholes, portals, or even travel between dimensions.

The Ancient Alien team takes a trip to the now mothballed Titan Missile Museum in Arizona, where they discuss the tactic of wrapping missiles in copper and making them into resonant capsules. The suggestion is that this makes them amplifiers, and thus far more dangerous. The hypothesis is that this was not something that humans came up with on their own, but rather something suggested or taught to us by beings from other worlds.

Additionally, there is an investigation into a rock found in Africa. The speculation is that it may be even older than the Earth itself and is thought to bear markings that could be related to advanced technology beyond our capacity to comprehend or replicate.

Overall, the episode underscores the idea that extra-terrestrial beings may have played a role in some of humanity's most destructive technologies and weapons. There is a sense of awe and wonder mingled with a sense of apprehension as the documentary suggests what truly advanced weapons could do in the hands of beings beyond our understanding.

The Ancient Aliens team also invites viewers to consider the potential implications of the extraterrestrial's interference and what such advancements could mean for humanity's future. The question the show ends on is if we have done enough to retain control over such a significant force. Through the lens of ancient history and modern technology, the episode provides a unique perspective on the ramifications advanced weapons can have and stimulates the imagination with the possibility of what other advanced technologies could be out there, waiting to be discovered.
