Review of Ancient Aliens S16E07 "Impossible Artifacts"

2/20/2021

Ancient Aliens Logo
Season 16 Episode 7
Last week’s heavily hyped experiment in breaking format did not result in exceptional ratings. William Shatner might have done promotional interviews across the internet, but all the puffery in the world couldn’t lift Ancient Aliens beyond its typical audience. About 950,000 viewers tuned in for last week’s two-hour special “William Shatner Meets Ancient Aliens,” a bit below the show’s usual million-viewer audience and about even with the weekly audience for Shatner’s sister show The UnXplained. This week, Ancient Aliens moves to a new, later time slot, running after Shatner and extending past the top of the eleven o’clock hour and out of prime time. But some thing never change. This is yet another episode made up of recycled material we’ve seen over and over for sixteen seasons.
I am increasingly unsure whether it is worth regularly reviewing a show that has grown so old and so stale. In past years, the series aired one quarter per year, about thirteen weeks, and it was, if not an event, at least gone long enough to generate renewed interest. But the current 12-month, year-round schedule seems to be taxing audiences, which have declined from nearly two million at the show’s height to under a million today. (It recovered some from series lows in 2019, which bottomed out around 750,000 viewers.) My audience engagement for these reviews has followed the show’s trajectory. My website attracts tens of thousands of readers, but the latest statistics show only 709 people read last week’s Ancient Aliens review over seven days. By contrast, as recently as two years ago, five thousand people read those reviews each week.
 
There isn’t much to this episode. It’s just repeats of previous episodes, material from 1960s books, and leftovers from creationist texts.
 
The episode opens with some free advertising for space super-fan Elon Musk’s SpaceX, with the 30-million-page “lunar library” that rode to the moon on one of the company’s missions, containing a full copy of Wikipedia’s English edition and other knowledge. Nova Spivak of the Arch Mission Foundation, a group that used SpaceX to send the lunar library to the moon after Spivak tweeted to Musk, who became excited about the project, says that they were inspired by “retracing the steps of potential ancient astronauts.” I guess that explains why Musk occasionally tweets something about aliens building the pyramids or speculating about UFOs.
 
Then the show discusses the “London Hammer,” a nineteenth century hammer head embedded in a rock that creationists falsely claimed was 140 million years old. This segment is recycled from a 2017 episode. Acknowledging it is probably mistakenly dated by believers, the show moves on to King Tut’s meteoric iron dagger that the talking heads allege is impossible for Egyptians of the New Kingdom to have worked themselves. Obviously, it is not since it exists, as do other examples of Egyptian iron—something known since the nineteenth century.
 
A partial repeat segment about a wedge of aluminum alloy found with mammoth bones in Transylvania follows. They claim it is a piece of a landing craft. As I pointed out the last time they ran this segment, it is almost certainly a broken excavator tooth from the equipment used in the excavation.
 
After a commercial, we get another repeat, this time rehearsing the usual raft of claims about Hindu mythology reflecting aliens flying around in spaceships. Again, as always, the talking heads make no acknowledgement of the shared Indo-European background of various mythologies, or what we can learn about the Proto-Indo-European belief system from comparison. Instead, they treat Hinduism as completely independent and an accurate representation of ancient history. Repeat pieces about Dwarka and a flood that destroyed some pagodas are rehearsed. I remember seeing once before the claim that a natural formation under the waters connecting India to Sri Lanka, known as Rama’s bridge, but I can’t recall if it was actually on Ancient Aliens or just in something inspired by it. It’s been a Hindu nationalist claim for a while, but I never cared enough to make a note of it in my write-ups. It isn’t really worth discussing a glorified sandbar here since it is obviously not an artificial wall built by aliens.
 
After another break, the show discusses stylized ancient art from Sichuan, China, from a culture known as the Sanxingdui—and recycled from a 2015 episode. The faces are recognizably human, but the show (and a 2007 Chinese news agency article, also discussed in 2015) wondered if they belonged to space aliens. A repeat segment about a turtle-god from Guatemala is spliced in along with some other pieces of ancient art with claims they are all astronauts or pilots in various suits. Lord Pakal’s “rocket” reappears for its twice-annual repetition.
 
Following the next break, the show discusses, yet again, the Antikythera mechanism, the famous ancient Greek computer, best known for surviving antiquity. Other examples are known from literary sources (e.g., Cicero, De re publica 1.14), but the show pretends as though it is completely without context or precedent. Similar devices were still being made in the Byzantine period. The most interesting part of the segment is seeing that Jason Martell has stopped coloring his hair and now looks like Keanu Reeves in Bram Stoker’s Dracula after the vampires nearly killed him.
 
After another break, the show discusses using synthetic DNA as a mechanism for storing information, a topic they have covered before. The show speculates that aliens may have stored similar information in artifacts, but they provide no evidence that lumps of rocks or bronze include any hidden information.
 
The final segment has Giorgio Tsoukalos claim that human DNA contains alien messages. Michio Kaku claims that he has scientist friends who are actively searching for secret alien messages in human DNA. The show then repeats claims from the preceding segments before ending.

<< I remember seeing once before the claim that a natural formation under the waters connecting India to Sri Lanka, known as Rama’s bridge ... >>

I think something's been inadvertently omitted from this comment, Jason.

However, this is one claim from September 2002:

https://web.archive.org/web/20021017021008/http://www.indolink.com/Religion/r091702-130924.php

And this quotes a later rebuttal of that claim by NASA (2005):

This is a geological discussion of Rama's Bridge aka Adam's Bridge:

Jason would be the one most in the loop on this, but has there ever been a series in Debunking Ancient Aliens style and format that had anything resembling a successful run? Or is that considered to be a formula for cancellation before episode 3 even hits the screen?

Of aliens made it here they would have to be far more advanced than we are, correct? If then shouldn’t any technology left behind by them be far more advanced than ours? If we can create the lunar library for future civilizations to find and so so in a way that any advanced civilization can decode it, shouldn’t the aliens have been able to do that same?

So my question is where is this advanced tech? I have yet to see one artifact presented couldn’t reproduce. Just casually surfing the Internet for any of the out of place objects the show mention will provide you with explanations for them that don’t require aliens.

Ancient Aliens and its followers are a prime example of Terry Goodkind’s Wizard’s First Rule: “ People are stupid. They believe things mainly because they either want them to be true or fear them to be true.”

Not all Creationists believe the world is less than 10,000 years old. Young Earth Creationist are only a subset. I imagine a majority of "regular people" who consider themselves Creationists believe that, but a lot of the so-called "Creation Scientists" realize you can't reconcile scientific evidence with that. Granted even the more nuanced creationist theories are bunk, there are those who have no trouble saying something is hundreds of millions of years old.

Sending Wikipedia to the Moon is one thing I can agree with kent upon. That site is so inaccurate, it would take me months just to correct the celestial cartography sections.

http://www.atlascoelestis.com/Vopel%202010%20base.htm

This article alone shows many inaccuracies from Wikipedia. Take "Cor Caroli" for instance. Wiki attributes it's symbolism to the 17th century when it actually goes back to the 1400s if not before.

I have worked thousands of images of maps and globes from the medieval era. I've even undone a bad 40 year old restoration on a water damaged map. Someone at some point tried to touch up the coastal outlines of the Vinland Map. I can tell due to the contrast being different from all the other inks and pigments. This was actually a major injustice to the map itself as it obliterated many of the coastal icons already present on the map. Fortunately they didn't obliterate all of them. Some have only been partially damaged. There is a lot more than just the Santiago de Compostela. Which by itself proves the map to be real. We haven't published everything yet. What has been published though is free. Being free does not invalidate the information.

Proving the validity of the Vinland map wasn't even our goal. We were working on something else entirely. We've actually solved several mysteries on our path.

Apparently Located 1585 Ralph Lane Fort due to features found upon two maps from the 1500s, and a Google satellite image of the corresponding area. Proper authorities alerted.

Solved the Narragansett RuneStone
Cygni Roseline. Explorers were using the Northern Cross asterism part of the Cygnus constellation. This is why the "In Hoc Signo Vinces" stone can be found 70 ft away from the Narragansett RuneStone's original location.

Found Christian habitation and a trademarked symbol on the 1025-1050 Cotton World Map. This is just the tip of the iceberg with this one!

Providing pretty convincing evidence for the validity of the Vinland Map.

Just because Wikipedia has errors doesn’t mean everything on it is wrong. In this case it links to the primary sources debunking the map.

The map is a fake based on the ink used to create it.

It may have been based on actual historical maps but it was clearly made in the 20th century. Therefore there is no way that it can be proven it is not a fake, The best that could ever be proven is that it is a modern copy of an old map

Crash,

Where are the links provided by Wikipedia to articles pointing to the authenticity of the Vinland Map?
They have a bias preconception and have stuck to it. We have provided brand new never before seen evidence which proves the authenticity. We've only published a handful of things so far. That map is 100% real.

I discovered something brand new just last night which I hope we will comment upon soon. This discovery would further bolster the authenticity of the Vinland Map.

Anthony,

The Wikipedia page on the Vinland map has many links to published articles debunking the map. There are whole sections of the page devoted to the parchment, the ink, and Yale’s stance on the map.

The ink is the real killer. The ink is modern and not old. Therefore the map is at best a copy of an old map.

How do you get around the use of 20th century ink?

See for yourself. Using your cell phone, bring up the Vinland map and zoom around. Find your target area of interest. Take a screenshot. Work that screenshot in your photo editor. All of this stuff is visible on my cell phone. I don't have to use use the photo editor to see them. The photo editor helps bring them to life. It also shows me the differences in the inks. That is a genuine map that was haphazardly and piss poorly touched up. I have worked on other maps which have been haphazardly and piss poorly professionally restored. I was able to digitally undo the damage. Damage done by the restorer and water.

Many of the inks used on medieval maps have faded, and in some cases nearly disappeared. They can all be brought back digitally. Many of the pigments were vegetable based and have rotted over the years turning various shades of brown and black. Digitally they can be restored to their original color. There are numerous cases of intentional censorship. Digitally they can be undone. For one good example, you should really check out what's been found on the Cabot map. There is a case of censorship. Not a very Christian representation of the Virgin Mary. This has been publicly available for a long time now.

I fully acknowledge the use of modern ink by someone in an attempt to touch up certain coastlines. In many cases they have nearly obliterated and obscured many icons. Fortunately they didn't get them all. Most of the Santiago de Compostela is still there. I've been told that this feature alone proves the map to be real. The Vinland Map should not be disqualified due to some greedy, shortsighted moron attempting to touch it up for financial gain.

Currently trying to determine the identity of an island depicted on the Vinland map in between Iceland and England/Scotland. I believe it is representative of the Faroe Islands. It has a large church icon upon it. I'd never heard of Saint Magnus before. This will take further study to positively identify. Proving the authenticity of the Vinland Map is not our target goal. We have just found too much stuff that no one has ever commented upon.

Check out the PowerPoint or PDF. they both contain the exact same information. The Vinland Map is REAL.

Okay, let's get our business straight:

Your method is to use a cellphone to view an image of a document, JPEG or RAW no one knows. I'd be interested to know how you calibrate the colors on your cellphone. That's Desktop Publishing 101.

You use a cellphone to [digitally] "zoom around" and capture a portion of the image. "Zoom" of course has a meaning in photography. Digital zoom is the worst.

Then, alter the image: "I was able to digitally undo the damage." It's a Bob Ross world where the image is yours and you can alter it until you achieve your desired result.

It would be interesting to know how many of the "flags" you supposedly found even existed at the purported date of the map.

"They can all be brought back digitally. ... Digitally they can be restored to their original color. ... Digitally they can be undone."

... until you get the blob you want to see.

you are wasting your time on Anthony there Kent.
His idea that the overlaying ink was applied later (after 1923) creating a false appearance of a modern hoax is itself pure bunk.
As usual Anthony and Patrick have ignored or completely misinterpreted the actual scientific data in favor of squinting at a photo on a cell phone just so.

The overlying darker ink was indeed post 1923, not because it was tested and showed that, but because it was in fact layered on top of the underlying yellowish ink that was tested and showed a post 1923 date.

http://www.webexhibits.org/vinland/paper-clark02.html?

"Studies by Raman microprobe spectroscopy have shown that the black ink defining each feature on the controversial Vinland Map consists of carbon that overlays a yellow line containing anatase. This material was not detected elsewhere on the map. Since anatase has not been found on medieval artifacts, and such yellow lines are only naturally produced by iron gallotannate inks, a modern (post 1923) origin for the Vinland Map is strongly indicated"

Keep talking out your ass, kent. All of your questions and concerns have already been answered if you only took the time to look, and test your reading comprehension. Every misstep, mistake, and progress is reported regarding every map, or globe studied. If you start from the very beginning, several distinct patterns start to emerge.

Jim,

I never stated the ink touch-ups were a one-step process. Did they test the ink composing the Santiago de Compostela Icon? Did they even know the icon existed?

Who really cares what two social invalids think anyway. What really matters are the opinions of owners, curators, and caretakers of these various works of cartography around the world. I can't wait for the actual multi-spectral imaging to start. I'm sure the Phippsburg History Center's computer and my cellphone will be vindicated.

Keep it up you two. Please!!! I won't be the only one laughing hysterically when every person you've ever rubbed wrong throws your words back in your face.

Not only do you not get the concept of free, you seem to have trouble with the words "Impossible Artifacts". Those words don't just describe you and kent.


"Shamelessly plugging your own (with Patrick) works, out of the blue and completely off topic and saying look at me ! Look at me !
You plug your own nonsensical off topic crap repeatedly on here."

Did you ever consider that Jason Colavito has either directly or indirectly helped out with our quest?
Maybe reporting some of the findings to him is appropriate. You seem to forget the countless articles that had nothing to do with Scott Wolter yet, here comes Jim to give us an update.
I believe it's been coined "Pulling A Jim".

"And to top it off you seem to say wiki has had some things wrong therefore we must assume all of wiki must be wrong and use that as an excuse not to argue against the actual evidence presented in the wiki article.
The same evidence that has been presented in numerous legit scientific sources."

Much of their evidence is wrong, outdated, and in some cases biased. A great deal of it needs to be updated. Especially regarding the trademarked symbol. It was obviously used in medieval times and can be found all the way back on the 1025-1050 AD Cotton World Map. This is one of the main arguments against the villain map other than the ink. The ink argument came from a piss poor attempt to highlight fading images of some coastlines at some point in the past.

You know what else can be found on the 1025-1050 Cotton World Map? A spot in North America labeled "Tara". I have been holding back all speculation. So come on now, Jim. The Jimmy jamster. Jimbo langa ding ding... World expert on everything... Please explain to the world what Tara is doing in North America in 1025 to 1050 AD?

Come on, kent. Grand wizard of universal knowledge. Please explain to everyone on this blog what Tara is doing in North America at that time.

Oh Anthony. Your M.P. is truly earned and not honorary.

First, that's not what "pulling a Jim" refers to. Soiler!

The villain map is clearly copied from another post-Columbian map and is clearly a fake. Even when I first encountered it back in the 1980s it was obvious.

You seem to think that "Tara" means something. Did you know Tallahassee was originally named Tarahassee? And of course there's Tara in Gone With The Wind. And Noah's Ark landed on Mr. Ararat which is nothing but a backwards reference to Tara. Just more of the para iddlyism that's your stock in trade.

Other than the fact that America is not even shown on the Anglo-Saxon Mappa Mundi (Cotton World Map) I have no idea what you are on about, Tara was sitting at home watching TV and told me she wasn't living in North America 10 centuries ago.

https://www.bl.uk/collection-items/anglo-saxon-world-map#

"As with many examples of medieval cartography, it is oriented with East at the top. Asia, Europe, and Africa are the only three continents represented, reflecting the known extent of the world in Western Christendom during this period."

Keep talking out your ass, Jim. Sooner or later you'll get high enough in that tree no one will hear you. North America is illustrated on the 1025-1050 Cotton World Map. It's called NEW INFORMATION.
One spot is labeled "Tara". Hindu or Irish??? I have yet to assert any speculation. Simply reporting facts.

You act like I've pulled a string across the Vinland map and declared it a megalithic yard. I have used the powerful tool known as a cell phone to pull out never before seen icons. Icons which are similar, or identical to other works of cartography from the same time period. The only thing they have against the map is the ink someone used to touch it up. I've checked, and I can't find anything where Jason Colavito has said anything definitive about the Vinland map. Closest I found was, "likely hoax". Now, Jason Colavito and the rest of the world has brand new information to evaluate. Will become even more interesting once actual multispectral imaging is begun upon these historical documents.

If nothing else, We have been able to prove that these maps contain tiny icons, some with even tinier flags, crosses and other identifiers. We have also demonstrated these maps can be restored digitally. You should see what I did with the medieval tarot cards the other night. What I revealed digitally, I would put up against any work by DaVinci.

I no longer need to discuss astronomy publicly. All the misidentifications and misinterpretations have been clarified. Thank you Jason Colavito and three particular commenters for clarification and redirection. Turns out, Dr. T was seriously mistaken in some of his mythology interpretations.

The actual situation is very much like that. You are firmly in the Credit Card and Toothpick League.

"I have used the powerful tool known as a cell phone to pull out never before seen icons."

You use a cell phone to create artifacts from images of maps that you would never get access to. Your track record is one of seeing whatever you want in blobs. This is a case of extreme para iddlyism.

No more astronomy talk? Can't say I'm disappointed. You once said your football team buddays were "too streetwise to talk about esoteric matters."

"Tara" is Japanese for "cod" so you can see the connection of the Norse, well-known cod fishermen with early exploration of Japan and it's an obvious sign of a very early Japanese presence in North America. Stay tuned!
