Ancient Aliens

The myths of the ancients are stories which endure the test of time. However, what is the truth behind these epic tales? What inspired the Labyrinth of the Minotaur? Did Odysseus's famous journey really happen? This series reveals the facts behind the myths.

This series was created after the success of three one-hour documentaries produced by creator Alan Landsburg: "In Search of Ancient Astronauts" (1973) (based on the 1968 book and the movie "Chariots of the Gods?" (1970) by Erich von Daniken), "In Search of Ancient Mysteries" (1974), and "The Outer Space Connection" (1975) (later adapted into popular paperbacks written by Landsburg), most of which featured narration by Rod Serling, who was the initial choice to host the spin-off series. Serling died before production started, and Leonard Nimoy was then selected to be the host. The series was revived in 2002 with host Mitch Pileggi and again in 2018 with Zachary Quinto for the History Channel.

"In Search Of" is a 2018-2019 series that examined unexplained phenomena from all over the world; hosted by Zachary Quinto. "In Search Of" explores and investigates the most iconic mysteries and legends of all time. Are UFOs actually visiting the Earth? Can the Ark of the Covenant ever be found?

In the end, Quinto reveal brand new theories and evidence which could completely change thinking on these enigmatic topics.
