I can't watch that particular video (because my boat bandwidth is terrible), but I am familiar with the series. They do make some good points, at times, but you are correct in pointing out that some of their stuff is a stretch. In the end, to me the problem I have with it boils down to one thing: the show presupposes that ancient civilizations could not have possessed high technology without alien intervention. I think a much more plausible explanation is simply that there have been highly advanced human civilizations in the past that achieved that level of tech on their own. After all, if humanity has been around for a few million years, and we have achieved our current level of tech in only a few thousand, who's to say it didn't happen before. It would only take a few centuries for all evidence of our existence except for special cases to be completely eradicated.
