About this listen

What if the gods of ancient myth… were never gods at all?

Hosted by Ben Carter, Ancient Astronauts explores one of history’s most compelling mysteries — the theory that advanced extraterrestrial beings may have influenced the origins of human civilization. From ancient temples and sacred texts to unexplained artifacts and cosmic alignments, each episode uncovers the evidence that challenges what we think we know about our past.

We don’t push beliefs.
We examine the evidence — the carvings, the myths, the mathematics — and let you decide what’s possible.

Because if the answers aren’t here on Earth…
They may be written in the stars.

  • The Sumerian Gods: Visitors From the Stars?
    Mar 9 2026

    https://www.theforbiddenknowledgenetwork.com

    Delve into the enigmatic world of ancient Sumer as we explore the possibility that the Sumerian gods, described in their rich mythological texts, may have been visitors from the cosmos. This investigation begins with the ziggurat at Ur, a formidable architectural relic whose precise alignment with celestial bodies suggests a level of astronomical understanding that seems advanced for its time. Could this mastery of the stars point to an extraterrestrial influence on the Sumerians? Join us as we piece together evidence from architectural wonders and ancient records that hint at a cosmic connection still shrouded in mystery.

    Venture into a civilization that flourished in the fertile lands between the Tigris and Euphrates rivers, where the Sumerians crafted urban centers teeming with culture and innovation. At the heart of their society stood the towering ziggurat, a symbol of their architectural prowess and perhaps a testament to divine or otherworldly guidance. We unravel the complexities of Sumerian life, their pantheon of gods, and their profound understanding of the cosmos, questioning whether these ancient innovators were alone in their astronomical achievements or if they were guided by celestial visitors.

From the Pacific highlands in Vanuatu to the Mayan civilizations and Eastern European Huns, this strange practice of skull elongation seems to tell a silent tale of shared origins. But are these merely cultural acknowledgments, or could they potentially be humanity's attempts to mirror an otherworldly presence?

    Venture with us into the realm of forbidden knowledge, as we explore an audacious theory: Could these skull shaping rituals actually be attempts to mimic the appearance of ancient astronauts or celestial beings? From the mysterious Paracas skulls of Peru to the intricate mythologies of ancient Egyptians and Mayans, journey with us back in time to unravel a narrative that hints at a profound and pervasive extraterrestrial influence on human culture.

Detected in 1962 during the United States Navy's Operation Deep Freeze, this massive structure, larger than any known natural formation, continues to puzzle scientists and spark wild theories. Could this be remnants of an ancient, highly advanced civilization now buried under the ice? Or is there more compelling evidence of it being an alien base established in Earth's distant past? Coupled with intriguing artifacts and a closely enforced no-fly zone, the mystery only deepens. Join us as we probe into these theories and the cultural context of ancient Antarctica, considered by some to have once been a verdant paradise.
