Across the ancient world, from Egypt to Mesopotamia, civilizations recorded stories of their first rulers. These were not mere mortals, but gods who walked among humans, establishing dynasties that lasted for thousands of years. Mainstream history dismisses these accounts as foundational myths, but could they be a record of a forgotten truth?
This episode re-examines the evidence, questioning whether these “god-kings” were symbolic figures or actual extraterrestrial beings who governed early human societies. By connecting these ancient texts with archeological anomalies, the Ancient Astronaut Theory suggests that humanity’s first leaders may have had otherworldly origins, guiding our development from the very beginning.
