It is interesting to find out how Giorgio Tsoukalos came to his conclusions regarding Ancient Aliens. Apparently his grandmother was the one who introduced the idea to him...
"When I was - this was, uh, dinner table conversation growing up at my house. When I was a little boy, my grandmother introduced me to the topic of Ancient Astronauts, Atlantis, various topics, as bedtime stories, and so I was exposed to those things at a very early age. And it stuck with me. And it was something where my grandmother was a devout Catholic, but at the same time, she was open-minded enough to realize that 'hey, perhaps there's something else out there - or there's more to the story.'"
Maybe it's easy to assume that he arrived at his beliefs by watching low-budget conspiracy theory videos. The truth in this case is far different. He had a loving grandmother who conversed with him during bedtime, which is really sweet.
