Ancient Aliens claims that mythological super-weapons - from Zeus's thunderbolts to Poseidon's trident - were actually advanced alien technology misinterpreted by ancient peoples. But what if these legendary artifacts were actually serving a different purpose? Join us as we explore how these weapons represented divine authority, natural forces, and cultural values rather than extraterrestrial tech. We'll dive into Sumerian tablets of destiny, Greek divine arsenals, and other mythological weapons to show how removing cultural context leads to some pretty wild alien theories. Plus, we discuss why ancient peoples were perfectly capable of creating compelling stories without extraterrestrial intervention.
