Review of Ancient Aliens S08E10 "Forbidden Zones"

10/9/2015

34 Comments

 
The title of tonight’s episode of Ancient Aliens is “Forbidden Zones,” and I must confess that it gave me a twinge of nostalgia, which is a nice change of pace from the usual feelings Ancient Aliens induces. In the early 1990s, when I was young, the Discovery Channel imported a German documentary series called Terra X (German run: 1982-2007), modeled on In Search of…, and dubbed the episodes into English. It was the very first series on ancient mysteries and occult secrets that I had ever watched, and I can recall the dubbed title sequence almost verbatim: “Sift through the ruins of the past, and the theories of the present. Enter forbidden zones. Investigate history’s enduring puzzles next… on Terra X.” (Don’t quote me on it; it’s been 25 years, and I may have a few words wrong.) Sometime in the mid-1990s, Discovery dropped the opening credits and the famous voice over artist who had narrated the show (Hal Douglas, who died last year, and who had become the promo announcer for the rival History Channel around the time Discovery dropped him), and episodes roughly dubbed with German voice artists moved to earlier time slots and then vanished entirely.
It was a bit of a trip down memory lane, but it seems that Terra X fell down the American memory hole. In trying to do some quick research on it, all I managed to find was this laugh-out-loud funny mention in a 2001 analysis of the cable TV landscape by Brian Taves: “Discovery and TLC have dived unashamedly into programming on aliens and UFOs—a field where The History Channel has, for the most part, not followed. TLC and Discovery give historical shows such fantastic-sounding titles as Terra X (a series)… The History Channel has accepted the inherent audience limitations in its specialized subject matter, generally refusing to shift toward sensationalized or trivialized subject matter.”  My, how times have changed!
 
If only Ancient Aliens were more like Terra X, even at its most sensational and fringy… But that would take work, research, and care, all things that are absent in this bottom-feeding cash-grab where sound bites and stock footage stand in for careful production. 
Segment 1
This episode is a difficult one to review because it marries a noble sentiment to an offensive conspiracy theory. The noble sentiment is that we should be outraged at the ongoing destruction of ancient materials, particularly the rampage of Islamic State and other Islamic extremist groups that are purposely destroying ancient sites and artifacts. The show also condemns warfare in Africa, central Asia, and Central America. The offensive conspiracy is that aliens are somehow purposely directing militants to destroy cultural heritage for the purpose of hiding the truth about aliens.
 
Robert Cargill, a religious studies professor at the University of Iowa, wrongly asserts that humans first evolved in the Middle East, something that is not supported by archaeology. The show then compares Islamic State destruction to Byzantine iconoclasm. Giorgio Tsoukalos speaks out on the horrors of cultural destruction, and then says that it risks eliminating “proof” of alien visitation. George Noory suggests that African, Asian, and Central American warzones tend to be the source of conflict because that is where aliens landed and somehow created “forbidden zones” the breed chaos to prevent archaeological research. That’s rather a laugh since the areas of modern warfare were not particularly war-torn as little as 120 years ago. But those places that are frequently at war tended to be those located on trade routes and on the borders of cultural zones, where conflict is hardly surprising. 
Segment 2
The second segment opens with the Arab Spring in Egypt, when looters made off with a number of artifacts. William Henry suggests that “something” was excavated near Cairo, and he implies that it was important without even pretending to know why. The show, though, doesn’t explore the reason that looting remains a profitable activity: Western art buyers are happy to pay for stolen artifacts, and it is their demand for loot that creates the majority of the impetus for looting.
 
Instead, the show speculates that evidence of aliens is still buried in Egypt, and the show seems uncertain whether it is condemning looters for damaging sites or praising them for upsetting the archaeologists’ plans to keep the alien material safely buried. This prompts Andrew Collins to suggest that Osiris was in fact a space alien (or, as he prefers to put it, we can’t say today that he wasn’t). William Henry claims that the Osirion at Abydos contains a “technological or mechanical” device, the Head of Osiris, while David Wilcock claims that “repositories of ancient technology” are hidden beneath the desert sands. If you read second half of the early medieval Akhbār al-zamān, you’ll see that these claims of chambers and cities filled with mechanical wonders are actually medieval Arabic legends about Egypt, derived from Greek sources but completely fictional, that the ancient astronaut theorists haven’t even updated for the modern era. (If you care, the legends project Arab impressions of Greek and Byzantine technology back in time, with a heavy dose of magic and mysticism; that is why the Arabs imagined, for example, that the Egyptians built thousands of lighthouses filled with all-seeing mirrors, on the order of the Pharos of Alexandria.)
Segment 3
The third segment recalls the Chinese destruction of Tibetan Buddhist materials after the flight of the Dalai Lama. This leads to a discussion of various book burnings throughout history, including the destruction of New World religious artifacts and structures during the Conquest. Nick Pope thinks this might have been “deliberate,” which shows that he has the stunning insight of a high schooler who hasn’t done his homework. Of course the conquistadors were purposely destroying Native religions and cultures! David Wilcock says that the aliens made them do it to hide records of their existence. To do so, the show suggests that aliens are able to activate neurons in our brains that create aggression using a technique similar to disturbing experiments on animals with introduced photosensitive genes that can trigger violence with light. “We are simply a pawn on an extraterrestrial chess game,” George Noory says. “There’s no question,” he adds, that aliens can make individuals do whatever they want. Therefore, if we follow this line of reasoning, humans are not responsible for their own actions because the aliens are responsible for violence and evil. But if the aliens are all-powerful manipulators, why do they need violence to distract us from their artifacts when they could simply program the archaeologists to hide them or the rest of us to ignore them? And why are they making George Noory give out these secrets?
Segment 4
The fourth segment opens at El Mirador in Guatemala, a Preclassic Maya archaeological site located within territory controlled by drug cartels. The site itself is guarded by Guatemalan soldiers. A set of two stucco friezes at El Mirador, dated to around 200 BCE, shows scenes that parallel those of the post-Conquest Popol Vuh narrative, implying that there is a continuity of tradition over time. (This is not entirely clear, and the friezes do not depict the whole of the Popol Vuh but rather characters some associate with the Hero Twins of the later narrative.) The narrator, though, tells us that the text closely parallels Genesis while adding more information than the Hebrew myth. (Some of this is coincidental, but not a little involves purposeful adaptation of Native myth to Catholic expectations.) The story in the Popol Vuh says that humans knew too much, so they placed a veil over them t keep them ignorant. This is rather similar to the Tower of Babel story and the confounding of the languages, but the show pretends not to know this, or perhaps doesn’t. Instead, the ancient astronaut theorists all agree that prehistoric people were smarter than ancient astronaut theorists and knew much more than anyone alive today, despite the fact that they lacked indoor plumbing. 
Segment 5
The fifth segment describes the conflict occurring over the Temple Mount in Jerusalem between Palestinians and Israelis in political terms and the three Abrahamic faiths in religious terms. We hear that there is a “powerful force” contained beneath the Temple Mount, and the narrator suggests that there is a “portal” to other dimensions buried beneath it. For some reason I don’t understand, we hear that Jacob saw the ladder to heaven—a “vortex,” supposedly—at the Temple Mount. This makes no sense since that event (from Genesis 28:10-22) took place at Bethel, long assumed to be a small town many miles from Jerusalem. Usually it is identified with Beitin, near Ramallah. The segment concludes with video of UFOs over the Temple Mount debunked as a hoax years ago.

​Segment 6
The final segment starts with the beginning of the Iraq War and the debacle over weapons of mass destruction and Saddam Hussein’s efforts to identify himself with the all-conquering king Nebuchadnezzar II. William Henry tells us that the true reason for the Iraq War was to find the Fiery Furnace, from which an “extraterrestrial” emerged. This is the story in Daniel 3 in which an angel rescues three Jews Nebuchadnezzar had thrown into a furnace. It’s one of a number of similar myths about fires that don’t consume the faithful; Jewish lore and the Quran have one about Abraham and Nebuchadnezzar. Anyway, supposedly George W. Bush wanted this star gate and manufactured a fake war to get it. It’s a sad commentary on how deep conspiracy thinking goes that bad decisions and incompetence get passed off as secret genius. No, wait, that describes ancient astronaut theorists…

Climbing out of the memory hole: here is a German-language list of the old Terra X shows: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terra_X_%281982%E2%80%932007%29 - or go to Wikipedia with search string "Terra X (1982-2007)".

I remember Terra X. I googled the title a couple years ago, but at the time I didn't know it was a German series; when all I could find was "Terra X - Rätsel alter Weltkulturen", I assumed it wasn't the same show.

I forgive you, Herm, it's not you're fault because the aliens are altering your brain waves forcing you to post inane excrement.

The sad fact is you're most likely either a pubescent boy without friends, or you're a friendless, morbidly obese, bald man living in a one room apartment collecting disability. Either option provides you with ample time to post your excrement on blogs without offering anything constructive to the conversation.

Please know that I'm not attacking you on a personal level, rather I'm simply positing a theory and speculating on the type of person you might be based on the historical evidence I have from your insightful and well thought out writings.

There is, of course, a third option....

You're a wealthy novelist who delved into alternative history and after your "theories" were laughed at by professionals and lay people alike you locked yourself away in your mansion and now have ample time to post excrement on blogs.

And I would like to point out yet again, to anyone assuming that Jason's blog is simply about bad-mouthing other people, his efforts to trace the influence of the idea of semi-divine men and a catastrophic flood—an ancient idea that originated in Mesopotamia and is best known to us from Genesis 6 and its Judeo-Christian derivatives—through just about every branch of fringe history. He's made dozens of blog posts about it, but this one may be the best starting point for understanding the whole thing:

Whatever else you may think of Jason, that is productive research.

I agree.

The problem seems to be that it was Jason who did the research. Now, if it had been one of the fringe superstars that had done so, their fans would be left breathless from the "discovery", no matter how patently absurd and self-serving the finished product would be.

It's a case of shooting the messenger because fringe believers don't like the message.

It seems to me the AA Theorists have created a dualistic good v. evil system that allows then to offer conflicting stories. The good aliens are trying to help us and inform us while the evil aliens use their special forces and knowledge to obscure our knowledge.

It is the good aliens that leave the secret messages of the crop circles, but the evil ones who confuse our minds and make it impossible for us to understand thee messages. It is the good aliens who have provided us with technology that will save us and the evil ones who are hiding all that wonderful earth saving technology.

This enables the Theorists to talk out of both sides of their mouth while leaving them an explanation for the very confusion of their theories. At some point in the future, which is likely coming soon, the good aliens will save those who have the secret knowledge possessed mostly by the adherents of AA theories leaving the rest of us behind to be destroyed by the evil aliens.

This all sounds oddly familiar to Apocalyptic "Christianity". It has the side benefit providing a tidy little income to the talking heads on the programs who are neither delusional nor stupid but simply opportunistic worshippers of their delusion leader Erich von Daniken.

Besides your insightful mention of how the episode shoots itself in the foot by saying aliens can control our minds, which would make hiding any proof of their existence unnecessary; taken at their word ancient alien theorists have stated that aliens can: teleport objects through solid matter to their ships (unnoticed,) perform all kinds of questionable acts and erase the knowledge of these from the minds of their victims and control our technology so they could black out any information that they would find damaging to their agenda. But, maybe most importantly, they are also constantly leaving us clues so we can know about our past, alien origins so we can move towards our enlightened future, maybe as their slaves. So, where did they come up with the idea for this episode?

Eric, had you taken the time to actually look at Jason's blog you would see that he's not watching these programs and reading these books because he enjoys the content, rather he's doing these things and then posting reviews explaining why they're false based on evidence and facts. If you find Jason's blog a waste of your time it's most likely because researching to educate yourself is far too burdensome and you prefer having pretty pictures and colors flashed in front of your face while music plays in the background.

I like AA for just this reason. It's very cleverly put together, and it makes great background noise when doing a boring job. The faux mystery and rhetorical methods are very enticing. If they bring up something I don't already know about, then I come to this website or Wikipedia and learn the truth. Real documentary makers could take some notes on how the information is presented

Criticism doesn't work that way buddy. AAT are spouting a theory and a theory, by definition, should be challenged until it is proven or disproven. This is what Jason is doing. Trying to prove or disprove a theory. If you can't handle the fact that a theory you believe in doesn't hold under scrutiny, all I can tell you is that maybe you should stop believing in it? I know disproving (or at least partly) ones belief system is painful to the believer, but I have to tell you, grow a thicker skin.

I look forward to the time when we really start living a natural life, and the end of so called civilization. The Native Americans had civilizations, but stayed close to the land at the same time. Remember ...the Columbian exchange only went out FROM the Americas to Europe, and the Native Americans received next to nothing from the invasion of European immigrant invaders. To this day the Natives are Poverty stricken, with nothing to show for from this exchange?! What exchange!?
