Ancient Aliens Can't Melt Stone Beams

Ancient Aliens Can't Melt Stone Beams

Scott and Tristan melt down Ancient Aliens' claims about Scotland's mysterious vitrified forts. Through terrible Scottish accents and unexpected detours into modern battery technology, they explore how Iron Age Scots used sophisticated fire management techniques to create these unique structures - no alien death rays required. Learn why turning your fort's stones into glass might actually be a terrible defensive strategy, why Ancient Aliens should have watched Outlander for better research, and how climate change is threatening these fascinating historical sites. Features bonus content about cryogenically frozen corpses and why you shouldn't let ivy grow on your house.
