In season 3 episode 7 of Ancient Aliens, titled "Aliens, Plagues and Epidemics," the show explores the possibility that extraterrestrial beings have influenced or caused devastating diseases throughout human history.
The episode begins by looking at the notorious pandemic that swept the world from 541-542 AD, known as the Justinian Plague. The show highlights how some historians believe that the plague, which killed an estimated 25 million people, may have been caused by a comet or asteroid impact, but Ancient Aliens suggests that alien intervention could have also played a part in the outbreak.
The episode then delves into the Black Death, which struck Europe in 1347, and points out how the bacteria responsible for the disease was much more virulent and deadly than most strains, leading some experts to suggest that it may have been a more advanced form of the disease that was deliberately spread by extraterrestrials.
The show also examines smaller outbreaks of disease, such as the 1918 flu epidemic, which killed millions across the globe, and raises the possibility that such events may have been caused or even exacerbated by alien influence.
Throughout the episode, Ancient Aliens draws on the work of various researchers, doctors, and scientists who have explored the idea of extraterrestrial influence on human health. The show suggests that aliens may have intentionally introduced disease to human populations for specific reasons, such as testing humanity's resilience or culling the population.
The episode also looks at indigenous cultures that have made contact with alien beings and safeguarded their health using natural remedies and shamanic practices. However, despite these protective measures, some indigenous communities have still been decimated by foreign diseases, which Ancient Aliens suggests may have been deliberately introduced by extraterrestrial visitors.
The show concludes by questioning whether aliens are still manipulating our health today, and whether they are behind the current global pandemic of COVID-19. Ancient Aliens argues that it is essential to consider the extraterrestrial influence on human health and the potential role that aliens may play in future pandemics.
Overall, season 3 episode 7 of Ancient Aliens, "Aliens, Plagues and Epidemics," is a fascinating exploration of the possibility that extraterrestrial beings may have influenced or caused devastating diseases throughout human history. The show presents many thought-provoking theories and raises important questions about the role that aliens may continue to play in human health and wellbeing.
