Ancient Aliens (2010)
S11E15 Shiva the Destroyer
Episode Overview
Among the pantheon of Hindu deities, Shiva stands out as the supreme destroyer. Some ancient astronaut theorists propose that this formidable figure, known for his flying crafts and extraordinary powers, may have actually been the commander of an alien group that visited Earth with advanced technology. They argue that this hypothesis is supported not only by the remarkable narratives found in ancient Vedic scriptures but also by stone carvings scattered throughout the Hindu region. A prime example is the Kailasa Temple, carved from a single rock face, which supposedly took just 18 years to sculpt from around 400,000 tons of stone. How such an incredible feat was achieved over a millennium ago remains a mystery, especially since contemporary engineers deem it impossible even with modern tools.
