Aliens and mysterious rituals

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 week we dive into the fascinating world of ancient rituals and their possible connections to extraterrestrial visitors.

First, we'll explore the history and archeology of human sacrifice in Mesoamerica and consider whether these practices were influenced by extraterrestrials or not.

Next, we'll venture to Britain to investigate the mysterious Stone of Destiny and ask whether the tradition of monarchy and regalia may have been an invention of extraterrestrials.

We'll also take a look at the Bep Kororoti, a ceremony and god some believe are evidence of astronauts visiting our planet.

Finally, we'll look at the intriguing possibility that ancient Egyptian and Viking funerary ships were designed to resemble spaceships.

This episode is based on episode five from season three (S03E05), Aliens and Mysterious Rituals.
