Ancient Aliens Season 17 Preview Preview
For newcomers to this decade-old series, History Channel’s synopsis for Ancient Aliens is as follows:
“Ancient Aliens explores the controversial theory that extraterrestrials have visited Earth for millions of years. From the age of the dinosaurs to ancient Egypt, from early cave drawings to continued mass sightings in the US, each episode in this hit HISTORY series gives historic depth to the questions, speculations, provocative controversies, first-hand accounts and grounded theories surrounding this age old debate. Did intelligent beings from outer space visit Earth thousands of years ago?“
The synopsis for Season 17 Episode 1 titled The Lost City of Peru reads:
“Machu Picchu is fascinating to archaeologists and historians because it is not documented in any of the ancient chronicles of the Spanish conquistadors.”
