Giorgio A. Tsoukalos

"In my opinion, the most significant piece of evidence that we have, in this entire ancient astronaut puzzle, is Puma Punku, in the highland of Bolivia, While the Pyramids at Giza, are incredible feat of achievement. compared to Puma Punku, the Pyramids are child play. Logic does not exists at Puma Punku, because there we have megalithic structures, which just lie about this entire site, as if ripped apart by... by some sort of great force."

Hairspray and Internet Fame[]

Countless articles have been written on the internet about Giorgio Tsoukalos, his theories, his hair, and the memes that have been created of him. Take for example, the following excerpts from Grunge.

When Tsoukalos did a Reddit AMA, there was but one question on everyone's mind — "how can we make fun of this dude as much as possible? Also, what's up with his hair?" After all, his hair is one of the most famous things about him — if he didn't have that ungodly quiff, there's a good chance no one would know who he was. However, his hair is there. Unsurprisingly, someone asked him about it. He said it was styled.

This might be the most surprising fact of them all. The man famous for having a messed-up mane of hair actually uses hair spray. That's right. His hair isn't a freak accident of God, a punishment for running over a magical fairy in the road, or an ancient family curse — he makes it look like that. Does he style it that way on purpose? Is he just really, really bad at styling? Does an alien distract him every time he hits the bathroom to try and look his Sunday best? Or was he not joking when he told one Redditor that his hair is "being slowly abducted"? The universe may never know.

You probably only know who Tsoukalos is because of the endless blanket of memes littering the internet wasteland, with his face arguing for ridiculous ideas and theories — most of which are alien in nature. Somewhat surprisingly, Tsoukalos claims he doesn't hate the memes of his face; he actually likes them. We could say a lot of things about this, but honestly, it's refreshing to find people who don't mind laughing at themselves.
