Millions of people around the world believe we have been visited in the past by extraterrestrial beings. What if it were true? And if so, what if there were clues left behind? Each week hundreds of thousands of viewers tune in to the wildly popular Ancient Aliens® television series to seek insight into those very questions - and to become part of a thrilling, probing exploration of the mysteries at the heart of world civilizations.
The first official companion book to the hit show Ancient Aliens® takes listeners even deeper into the mysteries that have made the show a pop culture phenomenon. Filled with exciting insights and behind-the-scenes stories from the show's creators and leading experts in ancient alien theory, the book explores the key questions at the heart of the series:
- Who were they?
- Why did they come?
- What did they leave behind?
- Where did they go?
- Will they return?
Transporting listeners around the globe, Ancient Aliens® explores the fascinating enigmas and mysterious artifacts our ancestors left behind, from incredible objects to amazingly accurate ancient maps; from the Great Pyramid of Giza and stone megaliths at Gobekli Tepe to the Nazca Plains and mysterious structures of Puma Punku.
Both the ultimate fan book and the perfect gift for listeners new to the show, Ancient Aliens® is a compelling journey through the mysteries of our ancient civilizations and the possibility of alien influence on our cultures.

Nice addition to the series.
Loved the book, read by many of the people who head the show. Giorgio is very good.
I would say fans of the series will love this as it does give more information than in the shows,
If I had to grumble I would say its on the short side, 5 hours 10 minutes. And the grumble is
only there's so much more they could have said. Unless book 2 follows, which would be fine with me.
AND if you have not watch the TV show, watch it, BRILLIANT.

Enjoyable
A great addition to the TV series, I'm already a fan so this was something I was always going to get. Nothing in here which isn't in the TV series but still a great summary of some of the more prominent points.

Eye opener
Brilliant theory that could possibly be near the truth of our past, and hope of the truth

Better to watch the series
If you have never watched the Ancient Alien series, and have no intention to do so, then this might be a good listen as it skims through many of the main evidence and speculation that does indeed make a compelling argument that we need to challenge conventional wisdom in a world where archaeologists and many other scientific communities are unable to entertain alternative theories to the standard historical model for several reasons. 1. funding is rarely available unless it conforms to the standard paradigm and aligns with government interests. 2. Many fields are controlled by an elite of scientists who will protect conventional views at any cost. Not to do so jeopardises their reputation and attacks their entrenched belief systems. New findings, data, facts etc are disregarded to avoid any painful review of their 'safe little world' 3. Ambitious scientists who are willing to explore new theories and new evidence know that to do so means their careers are threatened. 4. Governments, who provide a huge proportion of research funding will focus on grants that support political strategies.
I am not convinced that 400,000 years ago extra-terrestrials populated the earth and genetically produced mankind. But I also do not believe that the unfathomable complexity of life, DNA etc sprang up from primordial soup. The very arrogant and misguided Richard Dawkins dismisses everything that does not align from his 'the selfish gene' narrow minded view. My point is that Dawkins may not be wrong, or that ancient alien theory might be wrong, but rather humans, throughout history believed they have discovered the answers to life, only for these beliefs to be discredited only decades later. Dawkins and his colleagues discount religion. The irony is that many of our scientific community are themselves religions, entrenched and protective in their beliefs, unable to consider other views for fear of betraying themselves and their followers. 95% of the cosmos is not understood. Relativity and quantum mechanics are incompatible. And yet scientists present their speculations as fact. As a human species we need to be open minded in all view points, work together and as far as possible advance science without the arrogant flaws that threaten to keep us in the dark for centuries.
This audiobook rifles through many of the good concepts that underpin the series. On the whole this is quite interesting. However, there are 12 series of Ancient Aliens that provide a much more engrossing look at this topic. Overall, we simply just don't know what all the answers are. But is is important to keep an open mind with all of these theories, and to not be intimidated by those who uses words such as pseudoscience or conspiracy theory in an attempt to discredit the true advancement of knowledge.
Ancient aliens is very listenable. From the material available it could have been a little longer. The narration is very competent if a little flat. As above, even to whet your appetite for this topic it is an excellent start
