Cold open on one object that feels alien — then ground it in consensus

A 5-beat faceless video outline for “Cold open on one object that feels alien — then ground it in consensus” in the Ancient civilizations niche, derived from caption timing of 2 reference videos.

Angles

• Open with an 'alien-looking' claim, then ground it in archaeological consensus
• Caption-backed references: Interstellar Secrets of Ancient Civilizations | Ancient Aliens | History; The ENTIRE History of Egypt | Ancient Civilizations Documentary
• Reuse the beats only — narration must be original; cite sources on screen

Beat-by-beat structure

1. Hook (0:00–0:30): A pyramid alignment that 'proves visitors from space'.
2. Beat 1: What the claim says, stated fairly.
3. Beat 2: What archaeologists actually know about how it was built.
4. Beat 3: Why the mundane explanation is more impressive.
5. Close: Recap: claim vs consensus card. Original narration only.

Method

yt-dlp VTT captions (uploader-provided, not auto/ASR) → timed beat heuristics → editorial topic synthesis. Structure only; write original narration.
