Ethan E So I like this show sometimes. I am often pretty skeptical about what they say, but some of it ends up being interesting enough. My main issue with this show is there are WAY too many segments that they present a "mystery" and don't get to the bottom of it at all! And it seems like they should be able to many of these times. But it's pretty unsatisfying when so many stories just end up being "we don't really know the answer... but here's a bunch of nonsense".

TheMachinistSleeps ****** Contains mild spoilers about one segment of one episode that wasn't good anyway - don't worry about it ******Even after reading all of the other overwhelmingly negative reviews, I decided to give it a shot. I watched S04E14 - "Cannibals in the Ghost City". The crew here at What on Earth saw the ruins of a bunch of stone buildings in Africa somewhere, and proceeded to spin a tale from there. After some short and most likely scripted interviews with "locals", an alleged archeologist goes to visit the ruins - her mind is full of wonder as she tries to make something out of everything.She sees what appear to be defensive holes purposely crafted in to the wall. The kind of holes you'd see on the wall of a fort - firing positions or just simple peep holes: "Oh, there are holes in this wall! Almost as if they were terrified of something out there! What could have made them so frightened?!?!?"This is the reaction of an alleged archeologist seeing holes in an old stone wall. Next, she finds a single piece of coral on top of one piece of the ruined stone wall. She picks it up and says that the ruins are made out of coral, at the same time we are looking at an obviously stone wall in high definition quality. It's unmistakably a stone wall with one piece of coral on it, but she is away in her own little fantasy world.The very first possibility they raised in this "documentary" for why this bunch of stone buildings was abandoned: evil spirits. Djinn, to be precise, which are "aligned with Satan", as we're told by some other expert. Then, yet another expert tells us that we "really don't want to mess with them" in reference to these Satanic spirits. As opposed to the Satanic spirits that you really do want to mess with, I guess.Everyone in the cast is so excruciatingly credulous about everything presented to them. There are no bad ideas to be found here, apparently. Every opinion is just as valid as the next, and everything spooky or supernatural is worthy of a lengthy discussion accompanied by cheesy animations. It's a bit like listening to a young child talk about complicated issues - you just don't have the heart to tell them that's not how it works, and you also find their naivety somewhat adorable.Next possibility after evil spirits: an invading cannibal army. Our experts quickly conclude: "There is no evidence of this."What about a plague or harmful weather conditions? "These are just theories," they say without any further speculation.Yes, this is how quickly they dismissed those two possibilities, about 30 seconds each, after spending about 10 minutes discussing whether Satanic spirits drove out the inhabitants.And that's the end of that whole segment on the stone ruins in Africa. It probably wasn't a plague or weather conditions, and there's no evidence of a cannibal army, but we're keeping an open mind about those evil spirits (although we're still not going to mess with them). There are no other possibilities mentioned. No facts are presented after all of this build-up. Moving on to some other nonsense now with just over half an hour left... but they're moving on without me. I couldn't finish one episode.My recommendation: avoid this series like it's a plague of Satanic cannibals in a blizzard.

steveheinze-07578 We have satellites that see down to 5 feet and even though they know what the majority of their find's are, they present it in a Tabloid style format. A good idea gone horribly wrong. To make it worse, it seems as though 9 out of ten of the people going "what are these things?" are pseudo intellectuals who are just there to try to hype it into something that it's not. This show could be condensed into a 10 minute show consisting of "hey! Look what we found and this is pretty much what it is instead of all the stupid insufferable conjecture. To make it worse, in order to leave feedback on this show, you need to have a minimum of 10 lines of written content. Honestly, how many ways can you say a show id crap before running out of adjectives?

terran-57036 while watching 'what on earth' they were showing the guardian in the desert. i happen to notice that,right behind the guardian's head. there is a second image.look behind the guardian head an you will see a second head.it appears to be of a face.this face is looking in the same direction as the guardian.it seems to be just behind the head dress of the guardian.look to the right of the face. an Indian face can be seen.i was hoping this can be reviewed an that what on earth will take a look.this can be an important find, an i would like to see if there is a reason why there are 2 Indian guardian heads at this sacred spot.perhaps someone who knows more of this legend can be contacted an see if some sort of record of this is known
