Nazca lines, pyramids, Easter Island, Stonehenge, other holy sites on the Earth. They all supposedly "line up" on an axis on the planet, align with the stars, contain sacred geometry, etc etc etc.
It's amazing how people who watch ancient astronauts on the "history channel" and the like eat it up.
Trouble is, for the lay skeptic, you can't really respond because it all seems to fantastical to respond to. How were the Nazca lines done without access to flight? We're still trying to figure it out.
What frustrates me, though, is that the "experts" these shows have on don't even try to offer up alternate explanations - it's all "Aliens did it, mankind was a bunch of dumb apes."
Maybe we'll never know why ancient structures around the world are similar in design, but it's much more interesting to entertain several theories than just settle on "Well, we dont know, so it must be aliens."
Plus, they refer to bible passages and ancient myths about the "gods" and how they "descended from the skies" so that must be evidence right there!
