I used to love this kind of conspiracy stuff as a kid. It was like X Files. Then I learned people took it for real 😒 and it did actual harm to real academic work

What's worse is the links to white supremacy in all this shit.

The origin of many of these ancient alien slash ancient apocalypse "theories" are 1900s Germany.

People who were looking for a "scientific" reason why Germans were the superior race.

The core thrust of every "ancient" whatever theory is that ancient people were idiots and had to be shown how to pile rocks into a pyramid shape or shit.

The imaginary people who "showed" ancient brown people how to do shit are always depicted as white.

There is so much anti science nonsense out there right now, that stuff like this isn't funny anymore. It's sad and, more importantly, dangerous.
