Season 5?

[suzysummit]

Questions:
1. Will there be a season 5?
2. When will the dvd of season 4 be available?
3. Georgio:
My husband and I question the assertion that ancient civilizations have left monuments, carvings, etc. as messages for future generations. Isn't it more likely that all of their buildings and carvings...and even the Mayan calendar...were simply for their own purposes...with no intent to communicate with earth's people thousands of years in the future?

Why do you make this assertion?

With sincere interest,
Susan

Hi, I wonder that too.

[Moon]

I am guessing no on a season number five. It seems shows of this nature only last for four seasons. Also, they have not really been advertising this show's new episodes which is never a good sign. Throwing the show in the Friday wasteland time slot is also a bad sign.

I would expect the season four DVD to come out when they are finished with the season four episode run. I would right before Christmas as that is when these types of DVDs really sell. (They make good gifts.)

[Dylon]

Hey everyone, Just wondering if you guys know if there will be a season 5 of AA.

Thanks

[seeker1117]

Is Season 4 kaput already? I thought there were supposed to be 16 episodes this season, we've only had 10 so far.

[Moon]

Most of these programs on the History Channel usually last for four seasons. Given they didn't advertise this season and dumped it on the Friday night wasteland, I would say this was the final season.

It is possible I could be wrong, but all indications point to otherwise.

[Gizmo]

shame we could get more viewers with the Prometheus ppl lol

[mobious13]

Just heard from Giorgio on local radio here in Philly (by the way, he's here on Thursday night, I'll be in attendance) 4 more episodes of AA season 4 to air in August. And he announced season 5, thats right 5, was approved!!

That is wonderful news. Hopefully they will get a better air night than Fridays which was worry some for me. Maybe the international numbers are higher which is good news.

[KE5EHI]

I just DVR it, so I don't care when it's on. I am hoping they have a season 5!

[Dr. Z]

At one point I felt the show has seen its best days, but quite a few episodes of season four have been strong. Will season five be up to par? I hope so, but have some doubt.

How many AAT topics are left to discuss?

[Zeppelin1969]

Great thing is, like in season 4, many of the topics can be delved into much deeper. Like the Mayan episodes and the Puma Punku Episode. Anyone see the new episode of Futurama? They find an Ancient Martian calendar and a pyramid under ground that turns out to be an escape ship for the end of the world in 3012. I won't say any more and spoil it.

[cRush]

As poorly presented and thought out as some of the claims and "evidence" on this show are, it still beats hands down all the reality show bullcrap like "swamp people". Are we really supposed to care about the every day lives of alligator and catfish hunters in the bayous of Louisiana? C'mon now.

There has to be a more reasonable time slot that could land this show back on History Channel, rather than taking a back seat on H2. With more careful content, and strong supporting evidence, this show could easily regain the fame it held during it's first and second season.

I only hope that Giorgio and crew use this time wisely to put together that strong, and hopefully unheard, evidence.

[Zeppelin1969]

I agree cRush. I don't think many of the people on this forum are the type to watch Swamp People lol, but I could be wrong. Did anyone see the new one a few weeks ago called Civilization Lost? It was VERY interesting and I thought it was a new series, but haven't seen it since. I'm also a freak for The Universe. I wish we could replace ALL the reality shows with ones like these.

Since I have lived in Louisiana, I found Swamp People to be rather interesting. I also love the food they cook up at the end of the episodes.

But I do agree there is over kill in reality programming. I also think Season Four of Ancient Aliens was terrible and if Season Five is the same, they had better mercy kill it. I have several episodes I only watched a short part and decided to skip.

But on the plus side, there were a couple of episodes that were outstanding like the full hour dedicated to Punku Puma. If they do shows like that next season, then I will actually make it a date again of must see TV. (Very few shows on my must see list.)

[Zeppelin1969]

Awww c'mon Mercury. The 1st 2 episodes about the Mayans wer great and the Time Travellers was pretty good too. The Greys, the NASA one and Mega-Disasters were ok. Even the Bigfoot and Dinosaur ones were watchable. I'm kinda with you on the DaVinci one though. On another note, you're on your own with the Swamp People thing.

[Moon]

I do know people like the ones featured in Swamp People and they are the real deal.

I do think Season 5 can improve greatly if they do full one or even two hour episodes on one subject.

I also think they should do episodes on authors and researchers out there.

I just found this season to be full of nothing but conjecture and little on any real evidence. Anyone can claim aliens did it. We now need to start proving it.

[Zeppelin1969]

The "proof" is being hidden from us common folk. I even saw a BS story released last month on MSN about how they suddenly found these new Mayan writings that say their calendar doesn't really end 12/21/12. That it goes on for millions, billions even trillions of years. Just an attempt to calm the crazies out there that'll do anything cause they think the worlds gonna end. I'm not sure what will happen or if it'll even be noticable, but some world changing event will happen or begin on 12/21/12. Although I don't think so, I hope it'll be a signifigant event. Good or bad, this planet needs changes.

[Moon]

While there is plenty of evidence out there, it can be used to support a theory of an early advanced human civilization. The ones who claim it is aliens are who have to do the proving. I am one who thinks they are on the correct path, but they have to start looking for the smoking gun that will say: Aliens did land here and we can actually prove it. The Starchild Skull is looking like a possible way, but there is a lot of testing to do before any such claim can be made.

As far as the Mayan calendar goes, it seems many people are stating there will be huge changes so they can sell their books and DVDs. Nothing much was heard about this until the 1990s. After December 23, 2012 passes, there will be a lot of books and DVDs sitting on bookstore shelves gathering dust.

I might add that it is not people like me who have to be sold on this theory. I am one who embraces the idea and would love to see it taken seriously. I am hoping Herr von Daniken's new book coming out in November shows some powerful arguments for these theories and ideas. I think the time is running out for the Ancient Astronaut hypothesis if nothing is found to advance it.

We have to show mainstream science these ideas are viable, and right now they can explain much away. As long as they can do that and get away with ignoring some great finds, this theory is dead in the water.

As far as a conspiracy to keep this stuff secret, I am very skeptical of that. It seems to be a very poor excuse to not even bother to try and prove the theory. It was never going to be an easy sell to begin with. It means digging in the trenches and finding the concrete proof needed. Testing of ancient DNA is proving by incredible bounds every year which should help the cause.

If History Channels decide to help out in the DNA testing of the Elongated skulls and other possible evidence of ET visitation, think of the ratings they would receive.

I think that there is probably a lot of knowledge about our history that has been kept secret, for whatever reason. Look at the course of history and all that was lost when it was available to the masses (e.g. Library of Alexandrea). Knowledge is power, and greed is prevalent in modern society. Religion also has much to lose. Example: Image if we found a scroll that told who Jesus really was and that he was not what the Bible teaches. What then? Trash millennia of teachings and belief? Or make that scroll disappear or lock it away where no one can get to it. No one wants to see the skyscraper he built collapse. Egyptologist seem to operate by this mentality more than most.

[Zeppelin1969]

Right on KE5EHI!!! The AA theory is not, in my opinion, one that has to be proved. It has to be disproved. The only explanations mainstreamers can come up with for most of these findings are ridiculous theories that have more holes than a redneck beer can on a shooting range. For most, if not all of these findings, the AA theory is the ONLY one that holds water. I admit, quite a bit of the things they show on Ancient Aliens are VERY far fetched theories like the bigfoot and DaVinci stuff, but the hard evedence such as Puma Punku and Lord Pakals' tomb really can't be explained any other way. Any way that isn't ridiculous I mean.

Disproving a theory is the most unscientific methods out there. It is IMPOSSIBLE to disprove a theory or idea. Can you disprove Santa exists? Can you disprove the Tooth Fairy exists?

The ideas here get ridiculed all the time when we have to resort to them disproving our idea. It is up to US to PROVE the Theory is true, and that takes a lot of work.

I can prove gravity is quite real by dropping an apple off of my roof at any time of day. I know it will happen and can predict the results each and every time I drop that apple off the roof.

Ke5ehi, it is true we have lost much knowledge by the actions of our ancestors. But that doesn't help our case by blaming them when we are put up against a wall. We have to continue looking as there were many out there who kept the records or copies of them. If there were spaceships that landed and they used gadgets, I am sure one king or prince saw something interesting and squirreled it away for safekeeping. That is one thing we can do is look for something like that in areas where we think the ancient astronauts visited.

We are going to continue going nowhere fast if we keep telling scientists to prove us wrong. In the end, it is us who look bad.

Everyone I work with is from Louisiana. One of our employees even grew up as child hood friends with one of the people on that show.

If they had made it a 2h documentary, that would have been fine, as it is interesting to be exposed to that culture. But to occupy a time slot every week, no thanks.

[Moon]

I have watched a handful of episodes of Swamp People. I do not make it a date with my TV and think it is fun at times. It also is what it is and has big enough ratings to justify a show.

I do expect much more of Ancient Astronauts and hope Season Five does individual shows on personalities and places of interest. There is so much that is untapped in this area, and yet it seems they are going to the same mine for ideas.

[Zeppelin1969]

Yes Mercury, you can disprove the existence of Santa & the Tooth Fairy. I get your point, but what I'm trying to say is that for many ancient writings and structures the AA theory is the best one. It's treated like some weird unscientific idea when the "scientific" ideas that don't make any sense get told to us as facts. As I said before, the same BS we've been being fed our whole lives. We'll talk more later. Gotta go watch the new episode of Hillbilly Handfishin' LMAO.

[Moon]

The best way to have the mainstream scientists embrace this idea is come up with physical evidence that extraterrestrials built the monuments. The reality is there are videos out there showing one person moving a three ton stone by themselves with the help of some rope. Get a few more together and you can move larger stones. While the methods of how they moved such large stones in antiquity are not known, we cannot just say aliens did it.

The ancient myths are not proof either as they could just be stories and parables. Would Superman and Harry Potter be viewed as real people 10,000 years ago if something catastrophic were to wipe us out again?

We need to look for the actual physical remains of an alien object or an alien itself to prove this theory. I don't think that is an easy task, but it is the only way to go now. Conjecture can only get you so far; now the time has come to prove it.

[Zeppelin1969]

The time has definitely come to prove it. The problem with that is that most of the people doing the AA research are viewed as crackpots by people who want to continue to live in denial. I meet them every day and no matter how much actual or physical proof you show them, it isn't enough for them to open their minds. Fear is a powerful and dangerous thing, and when you're disproving someones religion, which many of these theories do, they shut their minds down. I can't wait for genetic Jesus to come back and put a lot of these so called "Christians" in their place. I'm sure he'll be happy to see all the destruction and slaughter that's been comitted in his name by people who wanted to conveniently pick and choose from what he said to fit their own selfish and greedy purposes. Do I sound angry? I wonder why.

[Moon]

We have evidence that can point to the idea of extraterrestrial visitation, but as of now there is no real proof of it. I do see what you are saying when you show all the main evidences out there and they still won't even consider this idea.

I do think we have been visited and still are. I also think the evidence is out there to actually prove this theory. There is so much we have not even looked at out there and so many sites which have only been scratched at when it comes to exploration.

There are some very good researchers who can make a case such as Christopher Dunn and Dr Robert Schoch. They can show the anomalies out there and the need for further research into these ideas.

I totaly agree, there are enough signs all around us, we just need to open our mind and eyes.

Hey Guys,
I don't know what this means for season 5. no-corporate-stores-here! just listed Ancient Aliens The Collector's Edition as a 12 disc set. Sounds like all there is when you add up the disc on previously released sets and the new episodes in season 4.

And the new Best Of On Blu-Ray

As bad as I don't want it to happen it may be over. Maybe they will do a new episode a few times a year??
Peace

I've never heard of the Starchild Skull. If what these webpages say about it is true it would be ground breaking evidence! I would love to see an episode on it, maybe it is one of the 4 airing in August? I hope those 4 episodes are really good.

I wonder whatever happened to the library in Egypt they needed permission from the Government for to excavate?

[Moon]

Here is a website about the Starchild. There is much information on how far they have come along and how far they need to go. This looks good in any case, but it still has to have other tests and the DNA tester come forward.

From what I understand, the Egyptian Government has gotten very strict on these matters. Archaeologists have found countless chambers with ground penetrating radar that they aren't allowed to dig to, Including the one under the left foot of the Sphinx.

[Moon]

Geologist Dr Robert Schoch suggests the hollow chamber under the Sphinx could be a natural formation. He does want it to be explored, but advises they use extreme caution as disturbing it could cause damage to the Sphinx itself. This is one area they should proceed with caution on.

[lamplight]

when someone gets real proof they disappear or are threatened into silence..remember folks? I'm half kidding, but...... I still feel its worthwhile to keep searching, if only for my own satisfaction...
