Did intelligent beings from outer space visit Earth thousands of years ago?
In the Season 17 premiere, "The Lost City of Peru": The South American nation of Peru is famous for its megalithic ruins, colossal geoglyphs and the Incan civilization.
It's one of the most mysterious places on Earth – but could it also be a site of extraterrestrial visitation?
Ancient Astronaut theorists Giorgio A. Tsoukalos, author David Childress and investigative mythologist William Henry will examine a recently-discovered "lost city" in Peru that has upended the historical timeline of South America, revealing that civilization emerged here thousands of years earlier than previously thought.
