Review of Ancient Aliens S12E08 "The Alien Frequency"

6/17/2017

51 Comments

 
“What’s the frequency, Kenneth?” That was the nonsensical question that a mugger asked former CBS Evening News anchor Dan Rather back in the 1980s. Before that, hippies asked about the “vibe” and the Beach Boys sang about “Good Vibrations.” For a long time now there has been a New Age belief that vibrations and electromagnetic frequencies have a secret occult meaning connected to the underlying architecture of the universe. Without getting into unnecessary detail, the modern version seems to be a sort of marriage between modern scientific notions of the constant state of movement of subatomic particles with the ancient idea of the music of the spheres, the resonance through which the cosmos produced mathematical harmony, just as a vibrating string produces a note.
 
Ancient Aliens offered its own discordant hour of musical meltdown in an episode, “The Alien Frequency,” devoted to the “discovery” that monuments around the world all vibrate to the same imaginary frequency, a signal that they attribute to the operation of space aliens. 
​Segment 1
We open at Baalbek in Lebanon, where narrator Robert Clotworthy falsely asserts that the Roman temple of Jupiter is 9,000 years old, a claim that goes back to local Abrahamic myths that the site was built by Nephilim just after Noah’s Flood. Other megalithic sites around the world make quick cameo appearances so the show can assert that they are too hard for “modern builders” to create, and the show recycles claims about how ancient people moved stones that modern equipment—which were not built to handle such weights—cannot.
 
We then hear claims that “ancient mythologies” claimed that sound waves were used to levitate rocks to move them into place. We’ve heard these claims before, back in the season 5 episode “The Monoliths,” and I wrote about them there. The claim that Stonehenge was erected by sound comes indirectly from Geoffrey of Monmouth, who implied that Merlin used magic to move the stones. But more ridiculous was the narrator’s conflated false claim that Herodotus wrote that the Egyptians “were given knowledge from the Guardians of the Sky on how to float the massive limestone blocks with which they built the Great Pyramid.” That wasn’t Herodotus and there aren’t any Guardians of the Sky. This is a mixed up false version of Erich von Däniken’s mangled account of the medieval Arab-Islamic story of how the Egyptians placed papyri with magic spells atop the stones, and the stones would then shoot across the desert as though weightless. Here is the Akhbar al-zaman giving an early version of the story:
It is said that the builders had palm wood sheets covered in writing, and after having extracted every stone and having it cut, they placed over each stone one of these sheets; they then gave a blow to the stone, and it traveled far beyond the reach of sight. They came back close to it and did the same again until they had led it to its assigned place. (my trans.)
​The show then alleges that levitation technology being developed today is merely recovering ancient wisdom. Linda Eneix, an expert on Maltese archaeology and a past Ancient Aliens guest, gives away more of her credibility in marrying her research into how ancient people used sound to the show’s allegations of sonic levitation and magic frequencies.
 
Segment 2
Eneix returns in the second segment to discuss Maltese temples, and we return to the frequent claims about elongated skulls and missing sagittal sutures, revisiting claims about Maltese elongated skulls that previous appeared on In Search of Aliens, the spinoff show from a few years ago. We hear the story of a UFO believer who claimed to see “giants” in a Maltese temple, and then the show uses Eneix’s research to imply that the frequency of 110 Hz with which the Hypogeum of Malta “resonates” causes our body’s water to “tune in” to the magic vibrations, inducing visions. Eneix has spent much of the last decade alleging that 110 Hz is a special frequency (a claim going back to the 1990s) and that ancient sites used such vibrations to induce emotional states by affecting the brain. Other sites are then examined for the same frequency, but no one explains how rocks produce such frequencies, or how common 110 Hz resonance is in nature. The fact that pretty much every temple, cave, and tomb has the same frequency suggests that this is not a particularly rare effect. The show doesn’t bother to explain how the very same sites and same stones can both resonate with this frequency and also use the piezoelectric effect to beam energy to orbiting alien satellites, as the show claimed in 2013.
 
Segment 3
The third segment uses scientific experiments to claim that 110 Hz frequencies can induce out of body experiences when concentrated on specific parts of the brain. We then see the temple of Vitthala in Hampi, India where the thin colonettes surrounding the main columns make musical notes when struck. The show alleges that each of the 56 colonettes is tuned to a different note, but no one bothers to test this, and frankly they didn’t provide any sounds that would suggest that the colonettes play different notes.
 
Segment 4
The fourth segment retells the famous story of how Pythagoras discovered the connection between music and math, including his conclusion that the universe vibrated with the music of the spheres. The show compares this to the sounds recorded as being emitted from the planets of the solar system. The poverty of the show’s research is evident when they fail to support their own case with the well-attested European belief, found in early Freemasonic documents, that Pythagoras gained his knowledge of music and math from the Pillars of Wisdom carved by the Watchers, whom we of course know from Ancient Aliens to be space aliens. Instead, William Henry tries to reach the same conclusion by alleging that Pythagoras attended a school run by space aliens in Egypt, and the show then claims that Pythagoras’s study of how strings vibrate to produce musical notes and his speculation about the music of the spheres was actually secretly about modern string theory.
 
Segment 5
The fifth segment asserts that the Hindu sacred sound “Om” is actually a representation of all possible vowels and is therefore the secret sound of the entire universe. David Childress tells us that chanting sends mystical sound messages to “an extraterrestrial realm,” which is no longer another planet but some other dimension where beings that are no longer aliens but angels or gods live. William Henry tells us that when we pray or meditate, we are actually communicating with the “consciousness” of interdimensional beings that exist in the pat. Ancient Aliens is mysticism with a veneer of pseudoscience.
 
Segment 6
The final segment discusses mysterious sounds that have been detected deep under the ocean. No one knows what the sounds in the Marianas Trench are, so the show alleges that the sounds belong to a deep-sea-base built by aliens. This is phrased with the grammatical conditional: if we recognize the sound as technological, then it must belong to aliens. It is a non sequitur even if we accept the if clause. The show concludes by recapping everything yet again and claiming that our ears can lead us to communion with space aliens who aren’t really aliens but gods who communicate through mystical frequencies that nevertheless are spoken words from human worshipers, and none of it made any logical sense if you stop to think about it for more than a minute. Those aliens have really grown protean, to the point that they seem no longer to have any substance at all.

My favorite fictional treatment of new age "vibes" and "frequencies" is Voice of the Angel from White Wolf's World of Darkness Core Rulebook. It's loaded with historical and geographical errors, which I suspect is just due to poor research on the author's part, but actually makes sense in the context of the story, since we find out in later titles that what the angel told the narrator "isn’t entirely (or even mostly) accurate" even in-setting.

The story also touches on pretty every classic element of fringe, including Sphinx mysteries, government conspiracies, and, of course, fallen angels.

I love the World of Darkness stuff, but i have never looked to it for historical and geographic accuracy. It's just not necessary. The core rule-book also states that the World of Darkness is similar to ours, but slightly off kilter. Its darker, more monstrous, and (of course) there are vampires, werewolves, mages, and ghosts around every corner. Of course the history is not going to be the same... it's going to be slightly off.

Still... these AA whackos (and I use that as a clinical term...) give the authors of all the White Wolf games a run for their money when it comes to making up new ways to interpret and warp and flat out restate history...

At least White Wolf calls it what it is... fantasy.

In this episode, magic + New Age + science fiction = aliens.

So, if the whole episode was about a universal frequency, why didn't they talk about the fall of the walls of Jericho? C'mon, they missed a perfect opportunity to use a biblical story as "evidence" for a sonic weapon or harmonic disrupter or whatever. Crystal skulls, the Bloop, the Wow signal...oh, so much to tie in!

I liked it better when aliens were little green men from Mars flying along in space ships.

The 'Egyptians used levitation' to build the pyramid idea also makes an appearance in a 1950s TV series called "Science Fiction Theater", in an episode called "The Stones Began to Move" it is discovered that a certain rock can be used to counteract gravity.

The series touched on other fringe themes as well. In one episode ("Hour of Nightmare") two professional photographers are sent out to get 'good' UFO photographs and stumble across a crashed spaceship and it's dead pilot. The episode "Sun Gold" is the Ancient Astronaut theory, complete with evidence that an alien influenced the Inca in some way,

At some point Childress declared that Pythagoras, and presumably his students and counterparts, was incapable of coming up with his theorems without supernatural/alien intervention. They have done this with Newton, Tesla, Einstein, Wernher von Braun, and probably even more. Drives me crazy.

These fools are small minded morons incapable of devining truth from facts, and who can't make sense of metallurgy, physics, geography or linguistics without bringing in aliens (aka angels). Even worse, they think everyone else is as mentally challenged as they are. Sadly, people hear it as fact.

If they even bothered studying any works by humanity's geniuses, they would clearly understand how gifted some minds truly are.

Unfortunately they can't get past the first sentence. Then they make up and manipulate the rest.

Ancient Aliens from the first moment it started has always, without fail, claimed that our ancient ancestors were really too stupid to do just about everything. According to them, if it wasn't for alien influence, we would all still be squatting in caves, scratching our balls and looking at each other with stupid looks on our faces. It is insulting, not only to the ancient people who built such structures as the pyramids and Stonehenge, but to all of us.

Much of The History Channel's programming these days is tinged with the more subtle flavors of white supremacist ideology... Nephalim in North America, Viking Templars descended from Jesus, South American conehead aliens with European DNA... I even thought 'Texas Rising' had some strange undertones that seemed unnecessary.

I'm surprised that there was no reference to that 'famous' 60's incident at Devil's Tower where the UFO landed after communicating in tones with the military. As I recall, they landed in a pile of mashed potatoes. (I'm pretty sure that really happened because I saw the documentary).

They also neglected to mention the well known 'brown frequency' used by aliens in ancient times to keep humans regular.

Jason,

I think you might enjoy a more conspiratorial interpretation of the present re-cycling of the Ancient Aliens episodes provided by Chris Knowles of the Secret Sun blog. I quote him from the very end of this blogpost:

http://secretsun.blogspot.com/2017/06/the-covenant-and-cargo-cult-concluded.html


“ . . . I started mulling over how simplistic and repetitive the Ancient Aliens show is and how quickly Giorgio Tsoukalos transformed himself into a cartoon character. 

But then I realized that's how educational indoctrination works in our culture. 

All kinds of teaching and training materials in public schools use cartoon characters, right? Walt Disney probably made a fortune licensing his characters for educational films. And it's through repetition that people really learn anything. 

So Ancient Aliens might chew over the same gristle year after year but that helps keep its messaging consistent as its audience ebbs and flows (read: enters/graduates high school). Love it or loathe it, you have to acknowledge that there's a cogent methodology at work there. 

Government-conditioning program or cult indoctrination, they all work out of the same toolbox.

Is it all leading up to some major revelation, the way 'Disclosure' advocates expect? Or is all leading up to some massive Project Blue Beam type of hoax? 

Well, why would anyone expect it to? Why would anyone expect the skies to open -- or not -- as the climax of all this conditioning? 

The answer, of course, is Hollywood. Because that's the way it works in the movies. Real life doesn't usually work that way. 

However, no matter who or what is behind all this the fact remains that, like it or don't, AAT (and the UFO topic in general) have already dramatically changed our culture, our technology and our society. Certainly our popular culture. 

Being a bit long in the tooth it still boggles my mind how many younger people take the basic assumptions of AAT for granted, even if they haven't read a page of Sitchin or Von Daniken or even watched a single Ancient Aliens. They don't have to. So much of their favorite pop culture is neck deep in it.

(You can toss in the Sekret Machines project here, spearheaded by former Blink 182 guitarist Tom Delonge and Peter Levenda of Necronomicon and Sinister Forces fame, and involving all kinds of Deep State heavies such as John Podesta.)

I don't waste my time trying to prove a negative, especially when the people presenting the alleged evidence are a bunch of liars and ignoramuses, who are incapable of presenting coherent and consistent arguments, and who don't even know the history of their own ideas. Not a hard choice for a critical thinker, really. Dogma and rhetoric aren't my style, sorry.

I'll take my lifetime of scholarly research in history and science over their nonsense any day.

Hey.. I hear there is a race of giant talking ladybugs on a planet somewhere in the Andromeda Galaxy. They all play trumpets, wear skirts, and wave confederate flags at each other while praising Erich Von Daniken and Giorgio Tsoukalos as gods.

I guess since you can't disprove that, it must be true.

Dude, it's an internet BB. What does "tough" have to do with anything?

I'm not the person who coined the word "scofftic", BTW. You either need to get out more, or just learn how to use a search engine.

Also, I am not the one who has written books and created a website trying to prove a "case". That would be Jason, not me.

Professional victims are people who (insert reason here) are easily offended. So they are constantly concerned about who in their mind either respects them, or disrespects them. That is all born out of a highly developed sense of self-importance. All the while never realizing that self-importance is man's worst enemy because it requires that you spend your entire life being offended by someone or something someone said or did.

A highly overdeveloped sense of importance combined with a deep seated fear of the unknown is what drives all pseudo-skeptics.

They are what I call Anamolphobics, suffering from Anomalphobia. The fear of anomalies. And they're also standard run of the mill cowards by nature who cluster together on websites like this one to engage in reinforcing circle jerks as a mental security blanket to protect them from the unknown. That unknown is anything that can't be explained away by their pedantic materialist paradigm.

But what makes that really pitiful and cowardly is their relentless tendency towards using personal attacks towards anyone who doesn't agree with their narrow minded worldview.

Hope that was "tremendously entertaining" for you.

So here's the upshot.

Dissertations like this are why most main-stream scientists aren't willing (unlike some of the interviewees on Ancient Aliens) to put their reputations on the line.
There will always be skeptics who poke fun or deride anything that reaches outside their myopic box. They resort to nit-picking and name calling.
It would seem that they are all omnipotent, and know more than anyone else, including those who have dedicated their lives to unraveling mysteries. Fact checking is one thing, but poo-pooing revolutionary discoveries just because they exceed one't ability to conceive or comprehend them is juvenile, at best.
