Ancient Aliens(r) audiobook

3.8 star ratingAfter reading books in the fantasy genre consecutively for some time now, I think that got me inspired to go search for something between real and unreal.The majority of the book proceeded with real and existing monuments, myths associated and scientific postulations. These parts for me were great but 20-25% towards the end, were addendums that seemed more 'What Ifs' based on these contributors imaginations🤨....I zoned out. I felt I was reading another fantasy book but one telling me no I am real (erm I have the Bible thank you)

OK, if you watch the TV series on The History Channel or are just plain fascinated by the fact we may have been visited by beings from "out there" in the far distant past, you need to get this. It's short, at just a tad over 200 pages and it reads fast because there are lots of fantastic pictures - many of which have appeared in other books, but are either larger or much clearer here - and there's not a whole lot of text. And what text there is, tends to amplify a bit on interviews that appeared on the TV series......and yeah, it repeats a lot as well. It's a good book for a person who has an open mind and is willing to accept the fact it would have been impossible for ancient peoples to have accomplished a lot of the engineering marvels shown without help since we can't do some of them with what we have today! Also for the Eric van Daniken (however you spell it) fan. Definitely not for the person with a closed-mind who says "it's not in the Bible, so it isn't true." Makes you think.

I am a regular viewer of this series on History TV. The show ancient alien has inspired me to do my research on these topics. Moreover, their official companion book is really helpful for the beginner who wants to trace the presence of aliens since the beginning of our earth. It feels quite amazing to listen to those stories and then relates them to a real-life scenario. Sometimes, they feel real and sometimes they feel fallacy. However, the book provides us with a lot of information about our ancient archaical sites. And the things talked in the book more or less has done the correct explanation if the happenings.

It's a solid book, but you aren't going to get anything more than you get in the television series. If you love the show, you'll like the book. Don't expect any new information, though.

Fun read for those who enjoy historical anomalies and/or the ancient astronaut theory. Broken down by topics with one author per chapter, the book essentially digs a bit deeper into some of those presented on the show. With info sections dispersed across each chapter, there really is a lot of content in the text, all of it colorfully displayed with beautiful photos. The only reason I give it four stars is because a lot of the content has already been presented on the show. Still, a worthwhile and fun read.

Entertaining and excellent short essays on various facets of the subjects detailed in the Ancient Alien television series. At least one of the fifteen essays was fairly poor, but some of the others more than made up for it. The section on Roswell and UFO research in general by Linda Moulton Howe was particularly intriguing and offered some information I'd not seen before. All in all, an engaging book that will make you think.

There are a lot of for and against when it comes to the Ancient Alien theories but either way I wish someone can explain how our ancestors built Easter Island, the jungle pyramids, Stonehenge etc etc etc.

Okay, you know what? Don't judge, because this book and it's TV show on History are just plain good fun and a girl cannot live on serious books alone. The book has lovely pictures and fun speculations, so go grab it and sit for a bit with some tea. ENJOY yourself!

The book and show definitely opens your mind to different angles of history that we didn't learn growing up. The information and research is put together really well and it is extremely fascinating. I really like learning about religion, history and science as well.

Excellent! This is a great read for fans of the show who want a little more depth. Each chapter was contributed by a different expert on Ancient times Astronaut Theory. It is well put together with captivating stories and wonderful photographs and illistrations. A great companion piece!

Nice addition to the Ancient Aliens series

Lives up to its title. Entertaining for fans of the show and the ancient astronaut theory.

Great companion book!I chose this rating based on the content and information it provides. I love the series, and this book is a great companion for the series.

I'm amazed at the ancient stuff I wish I was an archeologist. Looking forward to reading more books about the ancient past.

A great companion book to the series, especially when you get that itching thought at 2am and don't want to watch the whole series to get the one section you need
