History Channel Ancient Aliens is far from context and reality. That what I can say after watching some of its episode.

A few days ago I was watching Shiva the Destroyer episode of Ancient alien and while watching all I could do was smile and chuckle ! Well problem with this episode was not one but many. It is speculative and far from reality. The whole episode seems to be distorting the whole idea to fit its whim and fancy.

Well before I get into what they got wrong. Let me talk what These Ancient alien television series producers got right. It is true that It is not possible to ascertain when a rock craved temple was build and dating is purely speculative and is based on various references, if not impossible it is hard to determine the age of monuments accurately.

They also talked about Shivalinga. In popular culture and as per westerners Linga means human male reproductive organ and yoni means female reproductive organ but this concept is not entirely correct and is fallacious. 

First the word Yoni actually denotes type of species one is born into that was its real use. Similarly Linga is not actual correct word for male reproductive organ, it is Shishin. Having said so various mythological literature represents Linga to be oval orb of light and fire. So according to mythology Linga represents completely different thing than what is portrayed.

Ancient alien Shiva the Destroyer episode talks about Brahmastra, but again it takes the word for granted conjures up thing which is not present anywhere. Brahamastra is made up of two words, Brahma and Astra. Brahma is one of deities of Hinduism and Astra means weapon. So essentially Brahmastra is weapon of Brahma. If producer of Ancient Alien Show would have cared to read a few books and cared to research properly they would have known that Brahmastra a deadly weapon and is not a tool for creation. Brahmastra is not use for creation it is used for annihilation.

I have no idea how they came up with the idea that Kailasha Temple has been made by Brahmastra, Tavasta/Vishvkarma and MaiDanav is regarded as Architect and they do not use Brahamastra to create a structure.

Ancient alien makers seems to be ignoring many facts about Shiva just to prove their point. Depending on mythological concept, Shiva is everything, he is creator, he is sustainer and he is destroyer. The word Shiva itself means the auspicious one, the kind one. Actually Shiva is worshiped as most kind and clam deity. 

Another problem with Ancient alien is that they do not tell the source of their information. The hypothesis they give is not even sustained by facts. 

Well there are many episodes where Ancient alien tv series misinterprets various text to its whim and fancy. It seems same concept is used elsewhere in a different manner, it seems they not not really interested in science but instead creating a new fiction that masses will love to see in the name of science and scientific methodology. Ancient alien is good for entertainment but when it comes to fact is not as most concepts are utterly wrong.
