The Mayan Conspiracy - S04E01

Aired: February 17, 2012

This episode suggests that the ancient Maya were given their knowledge of mathematics and astronomy by extraterrestrials. It alleges advanced city engineering despite the use of metal tools and the wheel; knowledge of celestial events (such as pole shifts) thousands of years before the culture began; and a complex writing system only understood by the rulers and clerics among them. Featured artifacts include the sarcophagus lid of Palenque's King Pakal who is said to be piloting a rocket ship; the La Venta Olmec heads suggested to represent African people in flight helmets, and the feathered serpent god Kukulkan possibly depicted elsewhere in the world as the Naga and Chinese dragon.

The Doomsday Prophecies - S04E02

Aired: February 17, 2012

This episode looks at the Maya civilization and their advanced knowledge of mathematics and time-keeping.

Discussed are two artifacts, Tortuguero monument six, and a Comalcalco mud brick that may suggest the return of a star god Bolon Yokte; the Popol Vuh creation myths; the Chilam Balam manuscripts; and the monuments of Tikal (which is suggested to have been built to mimic the Pleiades cluster) and Chichen Itza dedicated to the return of the Maya god Kukulkan.

Aliens and Dinosaurs - S04E10

Aired: May 4, 2012

Examined is a carving found in Angkor Wat that is suggested to be a depiction of a stegosaurus; the thousands of Ica Stones of Peru that depict alleged human/dinosaur interaction; and fossils from Dinosaur Valley State Park suggested to contain both dinosaur and human footprints. Also suggested is the idea that dinosaurs may have been wiped out, not by an asteroid impact, but by alien extermination so that humans could become the dominant species on Earth.
