Review of Ancient Aliens S04E03: "Aliens and Bigfoot"

3/24/2012

14 Comments

 
This has to be a joke, right? Like when South Park had Ancient Aliens and Thanksgiving on their “Very History Channel Thanksgiving” episode?

I guess not. “Aliens and Bigfoot” really is about the possibility that Bigfoot—and other cryptids—are extraterrestrial species that came to earth with ancient astronauts.

We start off with the supposed, and frequently debunked, evidence for the Yeti, Bigfoot, etc., including graphics apparently lifted from Monster Quest and testimony from cryptozoologists. There isn’t much worth discussing here since the remote possibility that large, apelike creatures exist has no bearing on the question of extraterrestrials or ancient history.

Freelance music journalist and Fortean author Nick Redfern suggests that Bigfoot is in fact a “phantom” (some kind of transdimensional being), and from there we hear speculation about whether Bigfoot has “ghost powers,” invisibility powers, or the ability to teleport when confronted by humans and/or bullets.

David Childress, who, unbeknownst to me, wrote a book about Bigfoot, asks: “You have to wonder if Bigfoot himself isn’t some kind of extraterrestrial.” Remember: Childress is not an ancient astronaut theorist.

From here, the program talks about some actual history: widespread myths of “wild men” at the edge of civilization. While these are clearly stories of savage, uncivilized tribes, “ancient astronaut theorists” (AATs) say these are really encounters with Bigfoot—even though many of the wild men are traditionally described as small or misshapen. (Baby Bigfoot?)

Philip Coppens then suggests that the Nephilim, the fallen angels of the Bible (Genesis 6:4) and the Book of Enoch, are in fact Bigfoot. The Nephilim had sex with earth women and produced “giants,” but there is absolutely no connection between these giants (large-sized humans) and Bigfoot, an ape. In fact, in the King James version of Genesis 6:4, the word “giants” is a mistranslation of Nephilim, and there aren’t giants at all. Even the editors seems to recognize this, jamming in a Giorgio Tsoukalos statement that has been repurposed from an earlier episode to falsely support this weird theory. In the last centuries BCE, Jewish apocalyptic tradition demonized the characters of Mesopotamian myth as monstrous Watchers (fallen angels). In the Book of Giants, both Gilgamesh and the giant he slew, Humbaba, appear as giants/Watchers. This is hardly independent confirmation of alien genetic engineering, only that the Jews set themselves apart from their neighbors by turning their neighbors’ myths into Jewish demons.

Humbaba
Humbaba, the giant slain by Gilgamesh. His face is depicted as coiled intestines.
We then discuss Enkidu, the wild but human companion of Gilgamesh, though the program shows an image of Humbaba, with his characteristic face made of coiled intestines, instead. Tsoukalos conflates the hairy Enkidu with the giant Humbaba (two very different figures) and claims that Enkidu was an extraterrestrial giant (he is never called a giant in the Epic of Gilgamesh), and Childress states that Enkidu is a “monster.” Jason Martell, a web designer and self-proclaimed expert on Sumer and its “advanced technology” from “Planet X,” falsely states Enkidu is the “first fashioned being by the gods”—he is not. The gods made humans much earlier, from blood and clay, as I will discuss more below. Where does he think the prostitute Enikidu sleeps with comes from? Or all the people of Uruk, the city beside his forest? Also worth noting: the Epic of Gilgamesh and the creation myth are not Sumerian texts, but later Assyrian and Babylonian texts that in turn drew on, combined, and embellished earlier, disconnected, and fragmentary Sumerian stories. This does not bode well for an “expert” on Sumer.

Enkidu is quite clearly a symbolic figure meant to represent humanity in its wild state, before civilization and religion. Just as Gilgamesh is two-third god, Enkidu is his opposite and equal, two-thirds wild. Here’s how we know that, from the epic’s first tablet:

Quote
Upon hearing this Aruru created in her heart a man after the likeness of Anu.
Aruru washed her hands, took a bit of clay, and cast it on the ground.
Thus she created Enkidu, the hero, a lofty offspring, the possession (?) of Ninib.
His whole body was covered with hair; he had long hair on his head Tike a woman;
His flowing hair was luxuriant like that of the corn-god.
Contrary to [?] the custom of the people and of the land, he was clothed with garments, as god Ner;
He ate herbs with the gazelles.
He quenched his thirst with the beasts.
He sported about with the creatures of the water.

Enkidu only becomes fully human when a prostitute seduces him and civilizes him.

We then hear tell that Bigfoot is a devolved leftover of an alien slave-race who were of giant stature. Goliath from the Bible was probably an E.T., and apparently also the wizard Merlin. This is because they are described as large, wild men. I fail to see the connection to aliens, and worse the oldest manuscripts (Dead Sea Scrolls) give Goliath’s height as 6’7”; only later did he get exaggerated to nine feet. But the racial/ethnic/spiritual Other is always described as monstrously large. Not to be too earthy about it, but even today many white people insist on viewing African Americans, especially males, as hulking, bestial, and possessed of outsized body parts. This does not make them aliens, only the objects of racism and xenophobia.

Next up, documentary filmmaker Linda Moulton Howe and some other “investigators” talk about the astounding connection between UFO sightings and Bigfoot. Could Bigfoot ride to earth on UFOs? Well, no. The connection is simpler: UFOs and Bigfoot sightings tend to take place in the backwoods, for two reasons: 1) there are fewer people around to contradict witnesses’ testimony, and 2) this is where there is a greater concentration of less educated, more credulous people.

At this point, halfway through the show, I became extremely bored. I don’t believe that the aliens, who earlier in the hour had their pet Bigfeet (Bigfoots?) engaging in battles and mating with humans, now intentionally hide Bigfoot from us in vast, worldwide underground cave systems because we can’t handle the truth. But ancient Israelites could?

When some cryptozoologist or another suggests that Bigfoot’s “sulfur” smell is the same as Lucifer’s and that Hell derives from Bigfoot’s underground alien caves, I gave up. But then when Giorgio Tsoukalos tells us that Greek mythology contains a race of “troglodytes” I nearly lost it. There are no troglodytes in Greek myth, much less troglodytes who “came down from the sky.” There are only a couple of mentions of troglodytes in ancient literature, and they are from history, not myth. (Not that Tsoukalos knows the difference.) The Troglodytes are the (human) inhabitants of Troglodytis, a city, in Flavius Josephus (Antiquities 1.15.1) and are otherwise people who live along the Red Sea coast.

The term originates as trogodytes, whose exact meaning is unknown, but probably reflected a Greek attempt to transliterate the name of a people of the Red Sea coast such as the Tuareg. This was later altered by the Greeks to troglodytes based on a folk etymology from trogle, or cave. Hence, cave men. The word was used in ancient times to refer to the peoples of the Red Sea. Only much later did it become a catch-all term for ugly, little cave-dwelling monsters.

But, no matter, we have Soviet chimp-human hybrids to discuss! There was a Soviet experiment to see if humans and chimps could be hybridized, and Philip Coppens doesn’t seem to understand that Illya Ivanovich Ivanov’s experiments failed and it isn’t possible to hybridize humans and chimps through sex—thus, in the “remote past” “our ancestors” weren’t having sex with chimps to make monkey warriors.

Tsoukalos next claims that artistic depictions of hybrid creatures, such as animal-headed gods, are evidence of alien genetic engineering since, as is well know, human imagination was born only with Erich von Däniken in 1968. (Apparently, the aliens are all Elder Things from At the Mountains of Madness, releasing shoggoths on a benighted world.) He is blissfully unaware that Medusa, with her snakes, cannot be traced back to a primeval snake-headed hybrid, but is instead a complex and multivalent image, sometimes drawn after the head of Humbaba (whose face of intestines becomes the writhing snakes of the Gorgon), sometimes drawn as a dragon, and sometimes as a horse. The woman with snake hair image is very late, the result of an attempt to tone down the monstrousness of Greek monster in the Classical and Hellenistic periods.

Medusa

Serious question for ancient astronaut theorists: When did the aliens give us imaginations? Since AATs claim that the “ancients” recorded alien encounters uncritically right up until 1900, as stated in episode S03E01 “Aliens and the Old West,” it must have been after that. Since Erich von Däniken claimed that he used his imagination to fancifully embellish The Gold of the Gods (1972), it must have been before then. Is that what Roswell was all about?

The solution for why the aliens made or brought Bigfoot can supposedly be found in “the Sumerian stories of the Anunnaki,” which is ridiculous because there are no Sumerian stories of the Anunnaki. They are a collective of gods invoked as a group, with no mythology of their own, no epics, etc. And it is utterly false to claim that the Anunnaki made Bigfoot as a slave race because they didn’t want to work, for in their only major appearance in ancient texts (the Babylonian Enuma Elish), the Anunnaki themselves work to build the city of Babylon brick by brick, making the mud bricks one by one with their own hands. They are not lazy plantation owners. That’s just Zecharia Sitchin’s false translations and fantasies repeated uncritically.

Speaking of uncritical thinkers: “Right after we shed out furs, for millennia we had to keep warm by wearing furs … Something doesn’t make sense,” Tsoukalos exclaims, blissfully unaware that humans evolved in tropical sub-Saharan Africa c. 150,000 BCE, not, as the images on-screen suggest, Ice Age Europe of 10,500 BCE. Jason Martell seems to think that the “missing link” doesn’t exist because aliens skipped over it in genetically manipulating us. He says that Sumerian myths say that the gods found an apelike creature and realized they could transform him into “our likeness.” I don’t have a clue what he’s talking about. Enkidu is not genetically modified, and the Mesopotamian creation myth has men made from clay and blood, not apes. Here are the relevant passages:

Quote
Aruru washed her hands, took a bit of clay, and cast it on the ground.
Thus she created Enkidu…
(Gilgamesh tablet 2)

3. "I will solidify blood, I will form bone.
4. "I will set up man, 'Man' [shall be] his name.
5. "I will create the man 'Man.'
6. "The service of the gods shall be established, and I will set them (i.e., the gods) free.
7. "I will make twofold the ways of the gods, and I will beautify [them].
8. "They are [now] grouped together in one place, but they shall be partitioned in two.”
9. Ea answered and spake a word unto him
10. For the consolation of the gods he repeated unto him a word of counsel [saying]:
11. "Let one brother [god of their number] be given, let him suffer destruction that men may be fashioned.
12. "Let the great gods be assembled, let this [chosen] one be given in order that they (i.e., the other gods) may be established."
(Enuma Elish, tablet 6)

For comparison, here’s Berossus, the late Babylonian priest, on the same topic:

Quote
"For, the whole universe consisting of moisture, and animals being generated therein, the deity above-mentioned took off his own head: upon which the other gods mixed the blood, as it gushed out, with the earth; and from whence were formed men. On this account it is that they are rational and partake of divine knowledge."

Yup, that sure sounds like genetically engineering humans from apes to me. It does to David Childress, anyway, who says:

Quote
“Our ancient ancestors here may well be in a sense aliens from some other solar system, perhaps the Greys. What they’ve done is manipulate what were already humanoids on this planet, brute humanoids.”

But everyone agrees that nobody has ever found or captured a Bigfoot. This, naturally, does not mean the obvious, but rather that Bigfoot is either transdimensional or protected by aliens.

Why is Bigfoot so elusive? the program asks. That’s easy: because it doesn’t exist.

Just leave aside the myth, the history or AAT's. Bible - Genesis chapter 6 speaks about sons of GOD mating with humans, and the offsprings were giants, and do you say those giants are just some inches above 6 feet, then they wouldnt have been called as giants. So what exactly happened and who are they. are they angels from heaven came to earth to mate with earthly females?

Doesn't that sound bizarre?

And why the Gods have to create us from clay and blood, doesnt they have any other more quality materials, or do they even need any materials when they are almighty? . And whose blood they used to give life to man, if they used their blood, why dint they use their own flesh to create a man, why use mud or clay.

Doesnt that sound stupid?

The troglodites where infamous rapists. They raped animals. They raped all of their enemies, they raped each other and they indeed raped themselves. They even where said to have raped things like trees and furniture. History records them as having three testicles (in males). In theyre social system it was regarded a great honour to be anally raped to death. Rectal fisting was their equivilent to a handshake greeting. Bicept deep fisting was part of everyday life. It has been also noted that they were likely semen drinkers, draining semen from animals to drink. If you need anymore info, just ask. Take care my friend.

This episode made me realize how stupid the Ancient Alien theorists are. They want us to be completely gullible and believe that Bigfoot and all legendary supernatural creatures from ancient cultures were experiments done by extraterrestials.

On top of it all, in this particular episode, one researcher claimed that the Anasazi had writings and told of a hairy giant man.
This is downright impossible; the Anasazi, or more appropriately, the Ancestral Puebloans, lived in the American Southwest and it is impossible to know what the Anasazi wrote because all we have is petroglyphs. And how do we know what they said? They disappeared several hundred years before Spanish explorers entered the region.

I am starting to believe that these Ancient Alien theorists are so stupid that they cannot pick up a book that does not say "UFOS and [Fill in the blank]" and actually read it. I want to see hard evidence on how they can come up with a connection between Bigfoot and aliens.

Also, Enkidu of the "Epic of Gilgamesh" (which I had to read for a history class project) was never from the sky, he was a wild man; this meant that he hates society of man and therefore, lives on his own with nature. It is written that he is of impressive stature with a large head of hair and has incredible strength, comparable to Gilgamesh himself.
How on Earth can Ancient Alien theorists make this astronomical leap from "unkempt man in the wilderness" to "extraterrestial experiment"?!

Finally, I truly believe that Ancient Aliens needs to be taken off the air and fast. Their hogwash is poisoning the intellect of the world and should be eradicated permanently with no trace left behind.

I'm new to your site and have been reading your critiques and find them excellent. This is the first time I have found a bias that I feel is unwarranted.
You state that, "The connection is simpler: UFOs and Bigfoot sightings tend to take place in the backwoods, for two reasons: 1) there are fewer people around to contradict witnesses’ testimony, and 2) this is where there is a greater concentration of less educated, more credulous people."
I find the second to be not only insulting but a little elitist. I have spent the bulk of my life in rural areas and from my experiences have found that urban populations tend to be far more credulous. An example would be the whole organic food craze. Real farmers laugh their butts off at this.

Certainly urban dwellers have their own problems with unwarranted beliefs. Rural people are more credulous about UFOs and Bigfoot, in general, because they live in the woods and places where it is dark enough to see the stars at night. I know what I wrote sounds elitist, but the US Census Bureau's numbers on education and location don't lie. Sadly, rural areas are suffering from a "brain drain" as educated youths leave for urban lifestyles.

Does anyone remember the episodes of "Six Million Dollar Man" with Bigfoot? One episode actually has Bigfoot having connection with UFO's. (Steve Austin and Bigfoot go underground to the San Andreas Fault, which is an ET constructed passageway, and save California from an alien manufactured earthquake). Even as a kid I thought the show had gotten ridiculous at that point. And now, to see the idea resurrected on Ancient Aliens. I almost fell over, I was laughing so hard.

This episode is ridiculous even by this shows already terrible standards. They state three theories about Bigfoot in the show; that Bigfoots are aliens, that Bigfoots were engineered from hominid stock by aliens, and that Bigfoots are the actual native inhabitants of Earth and that humans were engineered from hominid stock by aliens. Obviously these theories are mutually exclusive, the last two are actually direct opposites. The show does not even acknowledge this contradiction but just jumps from one idea to another without rhyme or reason, moving from one claim to another apparently in the hopes that viewers will be to distracted by their shiny graphics to actually pay any attention to what they're saying.

Most TV shows are able to at least stick to a single coherent narrative over the course of forty minutes of a single episode. Ancient Aliens frequently manages to fail at even this. Did anyone even edit this script?

jason colavito, you are a hopeless idiot. nobody asked the fuck of you to fucking review anything.

there is a lot of evidence of hominoids temporarily appearing all over the world, there is also incontrovertible evidence that hominoids and extraterrestrials work together. you are too afraid to accept the truth and prefer to be an a$$hole trying to discredit the characters in this flimsy show, but never dare to look at all the lapidary evidence. judaism is a stupid fabrication historically proven, christianity is a stupid fabrication for the useless and gullible historically proven as well, it is several ancient peoples who have far more reasonable and solid explanations for the origin of humankind but a c0cksucker like you is too afraid to accept the truth.

Shhh! Crikey! Have a look at this! What we've got here is the angry 'squatchtard in his native habitat! Isn't he beeewdiful!? Here he is abusing people because he has no proof of any of the bullshit claims made by 'squatchtards or their alien-humpin' counterparts to make a valid argument using logic or grownup words. He talks about "truth" but couldn't see it if he removed his head from his frog-tight rectum for long enough to take a real-world breath, but that's OK! He uses ... oooh... big words like "lapidary evidence" even though evidence to him is a grainy blob taken by some yokel on an iphone he couldn't hold still. Yes, the truth must be out there, sasquatch is indeed a UFO flying forest-walker rapist who had fathered many a 'murican child - usually called "Earl" or "Billy Jo". I bet this angry little muppet even believed Rick Dyer, one can only hope he gifts us by accepting a Darwin Award and keeping the gene pool clean! Until then I'm sure he plenty of the "c0ck" he seems so fixated on to suck.

Maybe the Ancient Aliens guys are HUGE fans of the Six Million Dollar Man Bigfoot episodes, where he's a robot belonging to aliens, remember those?
