09. The Saqqara Bird: That F*cking Bird

We say bad words right up front in this one because we're finally tackling That F*cking Bird™. The Saqqara Bird is a small wooden bird-shaped artifact that ancient astronaut theorists claim is a scale replica of definitely very real ancient Egyptian planes.

Look, it's definitely not a plane, but what exactly is it? And more importantly, what does this bird teach us about the insidious ways that Ancient Aliens spreads its laughable lies?
