Ancient Aliens, Modern Myths, and the Gospel of Space Miners
Ancient alien theory didn’t emerge from hard evidence—it was stitched together by imaginative authors like Erich von Däniken and Zecharia Sitchin, who took fragments of ancient texts, ignored actual linguistic scholarship, and filled the gaps with cosmic fan fiction. What followed was not discovery, but duplication—a self-reinforcing echo chamber amplified by media like Ancient Aliens, where speculation is recycled until it feels like fact. The result is a modern mythology dressed in the language of science, asking us to believe that early humans couldn’t stack stones without extraterrestrial supervision, while simultaneously expecting us to reject the idea of a Creator as “unscientific.” It’s not that the evidence demands aliens—it’s that the narrative refuses God, and will accept almost anything else.
