One thing I find crazy inspiring is new information on things we previously thought we understood. Nothing sparks the imagination like someone discovering old maps of Antarctica drawn from before it was officially discovered or finding out that some ancient structure was aligned with stars that are invisible to the naked eye. The success of Ancient Aliens is a reflection that I'm not alone on this. Whether these new ideas are explained at a later date or become accepted as fiction, it doesn't really matter from the point of view of the imagination - it's the questions and the possibility of new possibilities.
A great example of this is the recent Easter Island Statue Project's excavations of the famous "Easter Island Heads". They're much larger than previously thought creating questions on how they were created and transported, their purpose or function, what clues their costumes might give us, etc. Pretty amazing stuff, I say!
