To go along with [[TheHistoryChannel The History Channel]] [[NetworkDecay changing its focus]], ''Ancient Aliens'' dealt with conspiracy theories about AncientAstronauts and presented them as reasonable.
The show had a tone that didn't outright endorse the theories as facts. Instead, the narration and the experts interviewed made leading statements and questions like "''could'' Atlantis have been populated by aliens?" and "It's impossible to say for sure, but..." Expect a lot of ArtisticLicenseHistory, DidNotDoTheResearch, and DanBrowned while watching it. Notable for having only the ''theorists''' point of view; they don't interview actual historians, actual scientists, etc. So expect some high bias.
!!Tropes Featured:
* AllMythsAreTrue: Albeit aliens were involved with all of them.
* AncientAstronauts: Prescribes to this, using scripture and myths as ''facts''.
* BeethovenWasAnAlienSpy: Surely anyone with ideas that were somewhat ahead of their time was abducted by aliens at some point.
** With LeonardoDaVinci, they think that he was either kidnapped by aliens, or even was actually a TIME TRAVELER.
* DanBrowned: A staple of this show.
* ETGaveUsWiFi
* ForTheEvulz: Aliens apparently cause volcanic eruptions and earthquakes. Why they're doing it and what they would have to gain from doing it isn't known or dwelled upon in the show.
* TheGreatFlood: The show takes the Noah's ark story as the literal truth. But aliens did it.
* TheGrimReaper: According to the show the black death was caused by Grim Reaper aliens with plague [[SinisterScythe scythes]]. Seriously.
* HeyItsThatVoice: Narrated by Jim Raynor
* MemeticMutation: Giorgio A Tsoukalos and his aliens obsession.
* SpeculativeDocumentary: As much as they don't like admitting it.
* StupidJetpackHitler: They do this in a few episodes.
