Short Answer: Yes (at least for some, like Erich von Daniken). Slightly Longer Answer:Â Yes, because some presume that humans in antiquity were so primitive they could not build these things without the assistance of non-human intelligence. Then, an elect super-race...

I’ve Edited (and Now Published) a New Book on the Anunnaki
Many readers will have heard of the Anunnaki — hopefully listening to me debunk nonsense about them and not from Ancient Aliens. One of the problems with getting quality information about the Anunnaki is that the best material was published decades ago in German...
Why the Moundbuilder Myth is Wrong
Readers interested in ancient North America (and who are data-driven, not conspiracy-driven or fans of bad biblical interpretation) would do well to read this old (2011) essay by Kenneth Feder, Bradley T. Lepper, Terry A. Barnhart, and Deborah A. Bolnick:...
Ancient Astronaut Theory and Racism
I’ve blogged before about how the theory of ancient aliens being responsible for the monumental building of ancient Egypt and other contemporaneous civilizations is inherently racist. The idea is basically that the humans of Egypt and these other cultures were...
Ancient Aliens Logic Lesson: Dirt Isn’t “Civilization”
I’ve had some folks send me the link to this recent article: “Data From a Dead Satellite Reveals Lost Continents Under Antarctica.” This is followed by the breathless proclamation: “These gravity images are revolutionizing our ability to study...

Why I’m Not on the Bandwagon with Christian Nephilim HuntersÂ
Well, there are several reasons that I could go into at length, but you really don’t need any more of an explanation than this essay by Jason Colavito. What he’s shooting at is a testament to poor thinking, shoddy research (biblical and otherwise),...
Wave of Egyptian Nephilim Paleobabble Headed Our Way
I just saw a news story about a 2,000 year-old sarcophagus discovered in Alexandria, Egypt. The coffin dates to the Ptolemaic era (ca. 305-30 BC). News articles have dutifully noted that the sarcophagus is 8.5 feet long. I’m trembling with excitement over what...
Did NASA Announce It Has Found Life on Mars or Outer Space?
Short answer: No. But to read the click-bait headlines circulating on the internet in the last couple of days, you’d think so. All you need to do is read NASA’s own announcement — just the first paragraph: NASA’s Curiosity rover has found new...

If you’re a subscriber to my newsletter, you know that we’ve been working on a new YouTube Channel for almost a year. I saw “we” because my non-profit ministry (MIQLAT) is partnering with AllAboutGod.com in this effort. The show (and channel)...
PEERANORMAL Episode 14: The Piri Reis Map
Discovered in 1929, the Piri Reis map, dated to 1513, was virtually unknown except by those who may have seen it displayed in its current home, the Topkapi Palace Museum in Instanbul. That all changed when Erich von Däniken made it part of his ancient astronaut theory...
Aliens and Demons: New Documentary
This has been quite a while in coming, and I had to keep it under wraps. My employer, Faithlife (makers of Logos Bible Software) has a relatively new streaming TV channel called Faithlife TV. They’re about to launch a documentary (74 minutes) featuring some of...
Jason Colavito’s Review of “Sekret Machines: Gods” by Tom DeLonge with Peter Levenda
Another solid review by Jason Colavito. If you’ve ever read one of Jason’s lengthy reviews you know it’s not just an essay informing his readers about what’s in a particular book or a simplistic “liked it … hated it” exercise....
