Why is the History channel showing a bunch of shows about aliens?

Every time I turn it to the history channel, they always have a different show about extra terrestrials and how they came down to earth to help the Myans or other civilizations out to give them ideas. Television has always shown tv shows about aliens and occasional shows about Roswell, but I think the history channel is over doing these types of shows. Is there a reason why the History channel keeps showing these shows over and over again? Are there really aliens that came from the future to help these civilizations out, and since they have found evidence that's why they are frequently showing these shows? Any thoughts please.

1. No, they don't have evidence. They just show these programs to get viewers' attention.
2. Look at who owns the science channels (along with every other media outlet, in press and television), then carefully start asking "why" they show this stuff and just what agenda they're trying to push. Believe me, there IS an agenda... and it's not better education.
3. No the concept is impractical, and also insulting to the human race as a whole assuming and in a misdirected way teaching That as a race we're incapable of the great works and accomplishments with out alien intervention. What is more amazing is that man did build the pyramids and the hanging garden of Babylon, We conquered and became great civilizations we did it, But that aliens did it makes for good ratings, people watch. Thus alien shows make money... Its unfortunate but I wish they would stop it too. Whats not good is that they portray aliens as a fact. A fact this is yet to be proven despite best evidence is not a fact , its a theory. They should represent these shows as alien theory shows.
4. The name of the game is MONEY! The History channel could more aptly be named the Hysteria channel. It has traveled far from the path it was originally based upon due to in part, not enough viewers. Most ALL of these types of shows (UFO,s Ghosts, etc) are simple hogwash but they appeal to the general (simple minded) public!
5. I think the History Channel started out with high ideals about educating all the grade school dropouts of the world. Then one time they mentioned something paranormal, and the ratings went thru the roof. Ratings mean money, and those high ideals don't sell. Every time they put paranormal stuff in the show, the ratings go up. Now, there's just a little bit of history sprinkled in to hopefully prevent the government from revoking the show's "educational" status.
6. As the popularized saying goes, you can't handle the truth. Yes, aliens are real. I have seen their ships along with others who were there on two occasions. I have met many other people who have seen them too. The aliens are very intelligent and know that people will figure them out eventually so they want to be the ones to tell the story about themselves. That means they are allowing themselves to be seen on purpose. You don't really think they need all those running lights and clearance lights all over their ships at night do you? Now, if average people have seen them so many times why would you think political leaders haven't seen them? Well, that is because leaders have seen them. Here you have Rush Limbaugh talking about it: http://mfile.akamai.com/5020/wma/rushlim… Here is Congressman Dennis Kucinich talking about it and trying to back off to save his political standing:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gSRWRbuMq… You just need to understand a simple fact: IF BEINGS HAVE THE TECHNOLOGY TO MAKE IT HERE FROM ANOTHER SOLAR SYSTEM THEY ALSO HAVE THE FAR EASIER TECHNOLOGY TO RULE OUR PLANET AND NATION BEHIND THE SCENES WITHOUT MOST PEOPLE KNOWING. That statement must be a fact in your mind if you have any measure of intellect or technical knowledge. It must also be a given that if there were beings capable of coming here thousands of years ago and erecting monuments like the Great Pyramid of Giza which are impossible for us to construct today with our current technology then they must be at least several thousand years ahead of us in technology because of the time for research and development they have had since that time. The idea that they are only a couple hundred years ahead of us in technology must be thrown out the window. And yes, it is true what the History Channel says about it being impossible. There are 400,000 blocks of stone at Giza which no technology humanity has today can move 100 feet let alone 100s of miles. You can easily research HAR1, the section of DNA all living creatures carry that has 18 points of difference between human and chimpanzee. This same section has only 2 points of difference between a chimpanzee and a fish. HAR1 is the section of DNA code that is most responsible for brain growth. If you have any education in biology or genetics you know that the numbers given in this paragraph deny any statistical possibility if you only take evolution into account. So to answer your question given this collection of factual information: The History Channel is showing lots of alien shows because the aliens have decided that is what they want to happen. And that my friend is the BEST ANSWER. Thank you,
7. People watch these shows. Increased viewers means more people seeing the commercials shown. More people seeing the commercials mean more money the station can charge the advertisers for the commercial time. Bottom line - TV shows are to make MONEY for the station. That's all - nothing more, nothing less.
