I think what really galls me about most of these ancient astronaut wackjobs (aside from the fact that they get paid to be fucking retarded, while I do it for free) is the continuing refrain of "...and humans just couldn't have done that!"
Stonehenge: Rocks were moved miles! Big rocks! Miles! "Humans just couldn't have done that!"
Mayan calendars: Advanced. Highly mathematical. "Humans just couldn't have done that!"
Positing that the sun was the center of the solar system before Copernicus: "Humans just couldn't have done that!"
Gears in a box: "Humans just couldn't have done that!"
These people sit in front of cameras that reproduce their image and those images are recorded for active replay of their every motion and word later on and those replays will be broadcast through the air or over fiber-optic or coaxial cable to televisions all over the globe or into computers that are linked into the greatest communication tool ever conceived and tell me that our ancestors could NOT have figured out where the sun is or how to make clockwork or how to move rocks.
How am I typing this into a sophisticated multi-tasking computational device run on magic wall-lightning and sending it to you all if my ancestors were, evidently, functionally lobotomized ape-men peeing into their mouths all the time?
Oh, right! ALIENS GAVE US THE INTERNET!

Oh go on - humans moving rocks? Without alien intervention?? Next you'll be telling me we invented the wheel and discovered fire!
Also, Copernicus was an alien. Galileo too.
Next you'll be telling me we invented the wheel and discovered fire!
No, our ancestors got the idea of the wheel from watching a HILARIOUS flying saucer crash. Fire was the result of a death ray demonstration.
You guys, Chariots of the Gods is real!! Don't be silly.
Next you'll be telling me we invented the wheel and discovered fire!
Wait. Didn't we get fire from Prometheus?
But we didn't start the fire. I thought Billy Joel cleared that up years ago.
Prometheus?
Alien. Obviously.
Dude had his liver ripped out every day for...well, he might still be having his liver ripped out. And it
grows back again!!
Obviously
he's an alien. Der.
Obviously he's an alien. Der.
Hey, let's not be narrowminded here - he could also have been a Cylon.
