Aliens and sacred places

Aliens and sacred places

In Digging up Ancient Aliens, our host Fredrik uses his background in archaeology to discover what is genuine, fake, and somewhere in between on the TV show Ancient Aliens.

This time we’re traversing the world between different sacred places. Could there be evidence for alien visitation within these holy places and the religious texts associated with them? During this episode, we will visit Jerusalem, Saudi Arabia, India, Ethiopia, and lastly, Lebanon. We look into the claims presented in Ancient Aliens and compare them to the available knowledge.

We will look at religious texts, engineering techniques, and what you might find when you go on a tiger hunt.


This episode is based on the claims in Ancient Aliens episode four of season three called "Aliens and Sacred Places" (S03E03). You will find the full transcript of the episode, a complete reference list, and much more on the episode webpage.


Our intro music is by Sandra Marteleur, and our outro is by the band Trallskruv.
