Second guy - you're accusing first guy of what ancient aliens does. You shouldn't work to debunk your own methodology! First guy is exactly right.
In the intro to the video posted at end of last page, the narrator speculates about how aliens could have provided ancient people with technology. Then he asks "what if we could find...THE EVIDENCE?"
That's not a predictive hypothesis. You don't form your conclusion first and then search backward for vague evidence - that isn't valid science or logic. It's just a tinfoil hat TV show, but the methodology is so flawed that I can't find get any enjoyment out of it (especially when I realize there are people, like quoted, who lap this shit up like it's a thrilling scientific hypothesis).

I've never seen this show and I don't have the time/desire to watch whatever video was posted. Sorry.
Biffins formed the conclusion, that aliens don't exist therefore these strange things must have other explanations. Spaceships in paintings can't be spaceships because they don't exist. Isn't that the conclusion? He said flying machines weren't a widespread idea of ancient people, but that's only true if aliens do not exist, right? You see what I'm saying? What if there
were sightings? Do we know there weren't any? What about Nuremburg? Big hoax? Mass hallucination of many people of the same thing?
I'm not saying yay or nay. I'm saying I keep the possiblity open, because we don't know. We can't read the dead artists' minds. We weren't there in Nuremburg. I haven't formed a conclusion because there's none to form. I won't say "no such thing, and the ancient depictions are falsely interpreted" or "yes they exist, and the ancient depictions are part of the proof".
Again, I ask about the Nazca lines. Does nobody here know what they are? They're a little less easy to explain than paintings considering they were discovered less than 100 years ago. They can only be seen from the sky.
It could be my Trekkie side talking here. I don't think the pyramids were built by aliens or anything, but I do think there's a possibility there were ancient sightings. Nobody knows for sure.
I once heard a theory that humans are the result of a cross between aliens and earth primates, like we're either a genetic experiment or some attempt at populating the planet with a higher intelligence than the existing primates. There's all sorts of weird theories out there (hollow earth anyone?).
