It was always dramaticised and perhaps from a certain point of view. But they've taken it to the next level, just look at ancient aliens.

Ancient aliens are myth. As shown, the forst contact we had was in 50s, Jeff Goldblum can testify for that (I saw it on TV and in the cinema).

But yes, this whole edutainment thing got way way to far.

Edit: Or aren't they? I think there might be an ancient pyramid under some glacier on some antarctic island...

Lol yes that's what I mean. Perhaps back in the day the day it was dramaticized script, but the overall story was based on historic record.

Nowadays it's completely made up reality TV bullshit.
