Ancient Astronauts

What if the gods of ancient myth… were never gods at all?

Hosted by Ben Carter, Ancient Astronauts explores one of history’s most compelling mysteries — the theory that advanced extraterrestrial beings may have influenced the origins of human civilization. From ancient temples and sacred texts to unexplained artifacts and cosmic alignments, each episode uncovers the evidence that challenges what we think we know about our past.

We don’t push beliefs.
We examine the evidence — the carvings, the myths, the mathematics — and let you decide what’s possible.

Because if the answers aren’t here on Earth…
They may be written in the stars.

Could accounts of alien abductions be hiding in medieval religious texts and illuminated manuscripts? In this episode, we explore strange illustrations, mysterious sky beings, and documented visions from monks, nuns, and scholars that bear an uncanny resemblance to modern abduction reports. Are these just metaphors—or eyewitness records masked by time and symbolism?
We examine unusual manuscript art showing discs in the sky, beams of light, and human figures being taken aloft. Are these forgotten warnings, misinterpreted spiritual visions, or traces of ancient extraterrestrial encounters woven into Europe’s sacred history?

Ancient Roman historians recorded strange objects in the skies described as flying shields, glowing discs, and spinning forms that appeared during times of war, political upheaval, and major historical change. These sightings were documented by respected chroniclers and preserved in official Roman records, yet their true nature has never been fully explained.
In this episode of Ancient Astronauts, we examine the original Roman accounts of these aerial phenomena, the language used to describe them, and the contexts in which they appeared. Were these misidentified natural events, secret military technology, or evidence of something far more advanced observing the ancient world? When viewed through a modern lens, these reports closely resemble what we now call unidentified flying objects.
This investigation explores whether ancient civilizations may have encountered the same unexplained aerial phenomena reported today, and what these sightings reveal about humanity’s long history with the unknown.

Carved into the landscape of southern Ohio is one of the most mysterious earthworks on the planet. The Great Serpent Mound stretches more than thirteen hundred feet across the land, perfectly aligned with celestial events and shaped with an accuracy that continues to puzzle researchers.
But is it simply a ceremonial structure… or something far more complex?
In this episode of Ancient Astronauts, we investigate the theory that the Serpent Mound may represent advanced knowledge of DNA, cosmic symbolism, or even a signal designed to be seen from above. From astronomical alignments and serpent symbolism to theories of non-human intelligence influencing ancient cultures, we explore why this site refuses to fit neatly into conventional explanations.
Was the Serpent Mound a message left behind by an advanced civilization — or evidence of contact with beings not from this world?

Hidden in the Valley of Mexico lies Teotihuacan, a vast ancient metropolis aligned with mathematical precision, astronomical cycles, and unexplained geometry that continues to defy conventional archaeology. Built long before the Aztecs, this massive city features pyramids oriented to celestial events, mica sheets embedded beneath structures, and a layout that mirrors cosmic patterns found across the ancient world.
In this episode of Ancient Astronauts, we explore the controversial theories surrounding Teotihuacan’s true purpose. Was it a ceremonial city designed to honor the gods, or something far more advanced? Some researchers suggest the city functioned as a cosmic energy center, a stargate, or even an ancient spaceport constructed with non-human guidance. From the Pyramid of the Sun to the Avenue of the Dead, every structure raises questions about lost technology, forbidden knowledge, and a forgotten chapter of human history.
This investigation challenges the official timeline and asks whether Teotihuacan was designed not just to be lived in, but to connect humanity with the stars.

Across ancient cultures, legends persist of reptilian beings dwelling beneath the Earth’s surface — hidden civilizations said to survive in vast underground realms long after humanity forgot them. From the Nagas of India and the serpent gods of Mesoamerica to modern whistleblower claims of deep underground bases, these stories raise unsettling questions about what may exist below our feet.
In this episode of Ancient Astronauts, we examine global myths of subterranean reptilian entities and explore theories suggesting they may represent alien survivors, ancient non-human intelligences, or remnants of a pre-human civilization driven underground by cataclysm. We analyze ancient texts, forbidden archaeology, modern military secrecy, and eyewitness accounts that point toward a hidden world beneath the surface.
Are these legends symbolic myths — or distorted memories of a real underground presence still operating in secrecy today?

Across Earth, ancient temples, pyramids, and megalithic structures appear aligned with star systems like Orion, Sirius, and the Pleiades. But what if these alignments weren’t just symbolic? In this episode, we explore the theory that many of these sites were intentionally constructed to mirror constellations connected to non-human intelligences—and that these alignments may have served a hidden purpose. Did an advanced race encode warnings of a recurring cosmic event? Could the Younger Dryas comet impact have been a predicted, or even engineered, reset of human civilization? We examine sky maps, ancient myths, and global architecture that suggest a coordinated astronomical blueprint far older—and more intelligent—than previously believed.

Across Europe, Asia, and the Americas, hundreds of star-shaped fortresses dot the landscape — their precise geometry, unexplained alignments, and mysterious origins sparking debate for centuries. While historians claim they were military fortifications from the Renaissance era, others believe these massive structures predate modern records… and may have served an entirely different purpose. Were star forts actually defensive battlements — or part of a forgotten planetary grid designed to channel cosmic energy, communicate with beings beyond Earth, or stabilize the electromagnetic field? In this episode of Ancient Astronauts, we examine the forbidden theory that these "forts" were signal relays, built with knowledge far beyond their time.

https://www.theforbiddenknowledgenetwork.comSatellite anomalies. Banned expeditions. And whispers of megalithic ruins hidden under miles of Antarctic ice. Could the frozen continent be the final resting place of a prehistoric civilization erased from human history—or is it something far more advanced? From the mysterious shapes spotted in NASA imagery to military operations cloaked in secrecy, this episode explores the growing theory that Antarctica may hide the remnants of an ancient alien base. What lies beneath the ice cap? Ancient pyramids, alien technology, or the gateway to a forgotten chapter in our planet’s true story?

https://www.theforbiddenknowledgenetwork.comIn the Book of Enoch, a mysterious group known as “The Watchers” descends from the heavens to interact with humankind — teaching forbidden knowledge, altering DNA, and fathering giants. But who were they really? Were these beings the fallen angels of biblical lore… or ancient extraterrestrials misinterpreted by early civilizations? In this episode, we explore the hidden history of the Watchers, their connection to the Nephilim, and why ancient texts from across the world describe similar sky-born entities. From Mount Hermon to the stars, the truth may be far older—and stranger—than we’ve been led to believe.

For centuries, the Staff of Moses has been described as a divine instrument capable of impossible feats: parting seas, summoning plagues, and producing water from barren rock. But what if these wonders were not miracles at all—what if the staff was a device? Ancient alien theorists suggest the rod may have been a piece of advanced extraterrestrial technology, preserved and passed down through early civilizations. From energy-conducting materials to parallels in Mesopotamian and Egyptian lore, we examine whether the Staff of Moses could be evidence of direct contact with beings far beyond our world.
Unlock the theories, the archaeology, and the forbidden possibilities behind one of the most mysterious artifacts in human history.
