Since its debut in 2009, the History Channel series Ancient Aliens has become a cultural phenomenon. With each episode promising to reveal the truth about hidden alien influence in ancient history, viewers around the world have come to this website looking to answer the question: Is this true? This page will index my episode reviews of Ancient Aliens for easy reference. I began reviewing the show regularly with the eighth episode of season three.
