Ancient Astronauts

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. 🌐 Visit: www.theforbiddenknowledgenetwork.com 🔒 Subscribe on Patreon: Get complete video episodes, exclusive bonus content, and full access to everything on The Forbidden Knowledge Network. 👉 https://www.patreon.com/theforbiddenknowledgenetwork

Deep in the desert of New Mexico lies Chaco Canyon — a mysterious ancient site built by the Ancestral Puebloans. For generations, archaeologists have puzzled over its massive stone structures, precise celestial alignments, and complex system of roads stretching for miles through barren land.

But what if Chaco Canyon wasn’t just a ceremonial center? What if it was built as a map — a star map — mirroring the constellations above?

But what if this legendary artifact wasn’t a symbol of divine magic… but advanced technology? Some believe Solomon’s ring was a device gifted by otherworldly beings — a tool of power and communication used to harness forces far beyond human understanding...

Are the pyramids of Giza aligned with the stars of Orion by coincidence—or by design? In this episode of Ancient Astronauts, we explore the Orion Correlation Theory, a controversial idea suggesting that ancient civilizations may have built monuments as a reflection of a star map left by extraterrestrial visitors.

What’s inside? And why haven’t we been told the truth?

For decades, scientists have struggled to explain the Moon’s strange size, orbit, and composition. But what if our Moon isn't a natural celestial body at all? From Soviet-era research suggesting it may be hollow, to NASA seismic tests that caused it to “ring like a bell,” the evidence keeps piling up.
