Ancient astronauts are aliens purported to have come to Earth thousands of years ago. Some claim that these aliens form the basis for the mythological gods of ancient cultures. Others suggest that we are descendants of these aliens. A few claim they came, placed random pieces of architecture in random spots, and left.
If someone presents these arguments to you, don't even bother responding, as you'll only validate their insanity and encourage them in their esoteric fantasies.
But... but... but... "Honestenge" points to their home star!!!
The main effect of the Ancient Astronauts in the 20th/21st century has been to upwealtherate sundry con artists, cynical authors and loonies. (Von Daniken, Scientology)
