A 6th grade level education, all one needs to immediately expose half the false dilemmas that show attempts to create:

And yes, in one episode those hosts really did attempt to say Alien technology was needed to create a totally natural plateau.

Looks like the aliens successfully disguised the other other thread from the non-believers

"Life" of some sort elsewhere in the universe on celestial bodies other than our own pale blue dot - sure.
Who's to say it would even be based on DNA, let alone be cellular in structure? Who knows, even if something we could loosely define as life was out there elsewhere, how the heck would it converge to form a human-like race that has hands and feet and bilateral symetry and big heads and eyes roughly placed where human heads and eyes are placed and shit, the entire idea that 'aliens' resemble humans is so corny and naive
Would any so called alien life forms, particularly of 'high intelligence/humanoid appearance' ever be visiting our planet? An emphatic no. The fact that most people who claim to see or believe in aliens believes they resemble humans is proof these are coming straight out of nothing but a simpletons imagination.

If I was capable of interstellar travel, the first thing I'd do is visit some lame ass planet and build a couple pyramids to impress those peasants

Yeah, and why such a simple geometric shape out of thousands of relatively tiny slices of unprocessed raw materials like sandstone...
In posession of technology capable of interstellar travel...
Only builds simple geometric shape out of piled up unprocessed rocks...
seems legit

When you reach a certain level of education and accomplishment, you will quickly find certain topics attract people who want to portray an image of being a "hip, open-minded intellectual", without doing the hard and often boring work of serious research or even critical thinking (no, being "open-minded" is not sufficient for critical thinking).
Ancient aliens is one such topic.

Maybe they are helpful beings that wanted to help teach us basic ways of building stuff for ourselves, or wanted to see if we could be taught to. Kind of like how we experiment and test if we can teach other animals how to do things.

"But how do you KNOW, they present some pretty good questions on that show, I just don't think you can rule it out you know"
Was told this in real life by someone.

How are pyramids helpful for anything? Those aliens wanted to create more jobs in ancient Egypt?

Ancient Aliens needed to be debunked?
I think it's hilarious and golden entertainment, but the credibility of that show is lower than the Jerry Springer show.

And they traveled all accross the universe just to find our pale blue dot at JUST the right time in the past few billion years of life on earth to be here at the extremely precise moment a group of life forms became just ever so intelligent enough to ponder and think for themselves. Light from the other side of our universe hasn't even reached our planet yet... but humanoid looking aliens have, to build us some monuments made out of totally unprocessed raw materials
