Ancient Aliens (2010)

Episode Overview

This tale echoes through over twelve hundred cultures globally, recounting how deities unleashed a massive flood to eradicate humanity for its defiance and malevolence. Do these diverse creation narratives hint at a historical deluge that submerged the Earth, leaving only a select few unharmed? Recent findings indicate that many legendary elements of these flood stories may hold kernels of truth. From evidence of a significant meteor strike in the Indian Ocean to a global layer of ash and even the discovery of Noah's burial site, researchers are assembling a chilling narrative—one that some attribute to alien intervention. Did we narrowly avoid extinction? And could the ancient accounts be accurate in suggesting extraterrestrial beings played a role in our survival? Proponents of Ancient Astronaut Theory assert that these celestial entities may once again come to our aid when another disaster threatens our planet.
