About
Was Earth really visited by mysterious extraterrestrial travelers thousands of years ago as many proponents of ”ancient astronaut theory” believe? What are the hidden secrets and mysteries behind ancient monuments and forgotten civilizations? Every week, actual smart person Tristan Johnson and regular non-smart person Scott Niswander dive through the archives to learn about the fascinating histories of ancient civilizations while also debunking the myths and straight-up lies presented in History Channel‘s massively popular tv show Ancient Aliens that has sparked a new generation of conspiracy theorists. We hope through this show, you can gain an appreciation for just how cool ancient societies were, and not simply credit their impressive advancements to alien visitors. NEW EPISODES EVERY WEEK!

It's Probably Not Aliens Holiday Special: Protocol Atlantis

Get new episodes early on Nebula!The year is 7023. Humanity has admittedly had a rough go of it. Last christmas, a shapeshifting alien from Earth disguising itself as Santa wreaked havoc on the X Intellectual Conference at the X Convention Center, in X City. Nobody is sure how it got there, but everyone knows it was stopped by two brave heroes: Derrick Von Erican and Indianapolis Dave. Interestingly enough, those two JUST came back from Earth, and stories of their time there have been wildly published, generating more interest in the Pale Grey Dot.General Michael Ivan Cochran is the head of the Martian Military, which accounts for 60% of the Martian annual budget to protect from extra-terrestrial threats. That WILL show up. Any. Day. Now. MIC has reason to suspect there are actually ALIENS on the Earth, and even scarier: GIANT aliens, and even scarier still UNDERWATER GIANT ALIENS. Around the end of the year, they assemble some sort of alien instrument with various pieces around a giant tree. Now, this COULD just be a community sharing gifts with each other for a winter holiday… or it COULD be an alien super weapon meant to destroy all of Mars. the ONLY way to be safe, is to send a small strike team of two HEROES back to Earth, to steal the pieces of this super weapon before all of Mars can be destroyed. And who better than the heroes who saved last Christmas, and also, ENTIRELY COINCIDENTALLY, went to Earth around the same time? This is: Its Probably Not Aliens: Protocol Atlantis.It's that time of year we put aside our chrome tabs for dice and 3 grown adults play pretend on a microphone for the entertainment of dozens.

20. How To Create Alien Life (feat. Lena Vincent)

Today, Tristan is joined by astrobiologist Lena Vincent to talk about the search for alien life, how we could make some fresh new life of our own, and what "life" even is.

17. King Akhenaten: Was Egypt Ruled By A Half-Alien Half-Human Pharaoh?

King Akhenaten has an absolutely buck wild history! Any art depicting him looks drastically different than other Pharaohs, with a bulbous head, spindly arms, and overall alien-esque appearance.

Stretching skulls to look more oblong has been a common practice all around the world for thousands of years across dozens of different cultures. But why did they do it?

And, of course, whenever there’s a gap in knowledge, ancient astronaut theorists always fill it with ALIENS!

08. The Piri Reis Map: Did Aliens Discover Antarctica?

MAPS! You’ve heard of them! But one map from history stands out as a bit odd. The Piri Reis map from 1513 seems to contain more cartographical information about our world than was thought to be known at the time, having drawn out Antarctica centuries before it was officially discovered. Could they have gotten detailed information about our world from aliens who would have had an easier time traversing the planet in their spacecraft? How is Nicolas Cage involved?

Were they runways for ancient aircraft? How could these have even been built in the first place? It's impossible to know! Except, uh, actually it's not.
