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

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...
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 defensiv...
https://www.theforbiddenknowledgenetwork.com Satellite anomalies. Banned expeditions. And whispers of megalithic ruins hidden under miles of Antarctic ice.

https://www.theforbiddenknowledgenetwork.com In 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.

In this episode, we explore the hidden history of the Wa...

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 th...
https://www.TheForbiddenKnowledgeNetwork.com Across ancient deserts, mountain caves, and forgotten tribal settlements, early cultures left behind carvings and legends describing children who did not look fully human. Elongated skulls, luminous eyes, unusual height, and unexplained abilities appear again and again across continents that never met. Were these stories symbolic… or were prehistoric tribes documenting hybrid offspring b...
https://www.TheForbiddenKnowledgeNetwork.com Ancient Sumerian texts speak of the gods descending through “shimmering gates of light.” Were these mythical doorways… or advanced portals connecting Earth to other realms? In this episode, we explore forbidden theories linking Sumer’s Anunnaki deities to interdimensional travel, sacred star alignments, and lost technologies capable of bridging worlds. Could the first civilization have h...
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?
In ...
For centuries, legends have claimed that King Solomon possessed a mysterious ring — a divine instrument said to command spirits, summon angels, and control the elements themselves. 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...
Across ancient burial sites around the world, archaeologists have uncovered skulls with unnaturally elongated craniums — stretching the limits of human anatomy. Were these the results of ritual cranial deformation… or signs of genetic manipulation by beings not of this world?
In this episode of Ancient Astronauts, we examine the evidence behind elongated skulls found in Peru, Egypt, and beyond. Could ancient civilizations have been...
Could the apocalyptic visions described in the Book of Revelation be more than divine prophecy? Some believe these passages contain hidden warnings — not from heaven, but from advanced beings who once walked among us. From fiery chariots in the sky to glowing messengers descending through clouds, the language of scripture may conceal accounts of extraterrestrial encounters witnessed by ancient prophets. In this episode, we explore ...
Did the ancient Persians guard a hidden technology — gateways to the stars? Across the ruins of Persia lie strange inscriptions, temple carvings, and legends that speak of otherworldly visitors and portals connecting Earth to the cosmos. Were these merely myths, or could they point to advanced knowledge long forgotten?
In this episode of Ancient Astronauts, we investigate the mysterious sites and stories of ancient Persia — where h...
Did the gods of Norse mythology descend from the heavens, not as divine spirits, but as ancient visitors from the stars? The tales of Odin, Thor, and the Aesir speak of sky chariots, cosmic battles, and wisdom granted from beyond our world. In this episode of Ancient Astronauts, we explore the possibility that the gods of the North were not mere myths, but evidence of extraterrestrial contact in the distant past.
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. Could Earth itself hold a celestial blueprint pointing to alien influence?
Is the Great Sphinx of Giza more than just a monument? Ancient texts and leaked reports suggest something lies buried beneath it — a sealed chamber, potentially non-human in origin. In this episode of Ancient Astronauts, we investigate the theory that the Sphinx once guarded a vault of alien technology… and that someone has worked very hard to keep it hidden. Who built it? What’s inside? And why haven’t we been told the truth?
For centuries, whispers have surrounded the Vatican’s secret archives — claiming they hold evidence of extraterrestrial contact, lost civilizations, and forbidden knowledge about humanity’s origins. Could ancient alien encounters be locked away behind those guarded walls? In this episode of Ancient Astronauts, we uncover the most controversial theories, leaked testimonies, and suppressed documents that suggest the Vatican may be hi...
Off the coast of Japan lies the mysterious Yonaguni Monument — a massive underwater structure that challenges our understanding of history. Is it a natural formation, the remains of a lost civilization, or evidence of advanced technology from ancient extraterrestrial visitors? In this episode of Ancient Astronauts, we explore the theories, the evidence, and the possibility that alien influence shaped this submerged wonder.
For decades, the mysterious Black Knight Satellite has hovered in Earth’s orbit — with no clear origin, mission, or explanation. Some say it’s a Cold War relic. Others believe it’s something far more ancient. In this episode of Ancient Astronauts, we explore the theory that the Black Knight Satellite may have been silently observing Earth for thousands of years — watching the rise and fall of ancient civilizations, from Sumer to Eg...
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. Could the Moon actually be an ancient, intelligently designed satellite—possibly placed in orbit by extraterrestrials? Join us as we...
