What the Show Claims

  • Ancient Astronaut theorists point to traces of a major meteor impact in the Indian Ocean as evidence supporting the great flood myths found in over twelve hundred cultures. They suggest extraterrestrials may have warned or saved humanity from this catastrophe.

What Archaeology Says

The Indian Ocean has evidence of historical impacts; the Chicxulub impact in the Yucatan is the famous K-Pg boundary impact. Recent tsunamis and geological evidence show ocean impacts are geologically significant but are explained through natural processes.
