Why Ancient People Could Actually Art

  • Summary

  • From Egyptian sun disks to Mayan turtle sculptures, watch in horror as Ancient Aliens transforms religious symbols into spaceships, completely ignoring centuries of cultural context and artistic expression. Learn about the actual meanings behind these ancient artworks while questioning why Ancient Aliens thinks people from the past were incapable of abstract thought or, you know, just making cool stuff because they wanted to. Features special appearances by the sun god Ra, some very meaningful turtles, and self-described-expternally-described-as-modern-day-indiana-jones David Childress make baffling claims about cave paintings.
