• What ancient mysteries are you familiar with?

• Where in the world can you find pyramids? Why and how do you think they were built?

• What do you know about the ancient spheres of Costa Rica? When, why, and how were they built?

• There are a lot of "ancient aliens" theories on tv shows to explain impressive ancient structures. Why do you think this is such a popular type of tv show?
