In modern times, the first UFO was reported in 1947. But many people believe that aliens have been among us for thousands of years. And for evidence, they point to certain ancient texts and monuments. Do they, in fact, tell the story of extraterrestrial contact eons ago? Join the worlds leading UFO experts including the authors of the bestselling Alien Identities and Fingerprints of the Gods for an extraordinary investigation that journeys through human history in search of evidence of alien contact. Why do so many structures, from different societies worldwide, seem to point towards the same spot in the skies? What other possible explanation is there for the frequent references to strange flying objects in ancient texts? Do some clues point to the presence of aliens among the ancients themselves? With dramatic re-creations, footage from around the world and inspired scholarship, ANCIENT ALIENS attempts to uncover the truth

It's just a commercial for von Daniken, if we're talking about the same show. A fan-boy of von D. produced it and sold it to the networks.

Never heard of him, till I watched the show.
I like the idea that jesus is really a martian or summat. That'll be a turn up for the books. 21st Dec 2012..... Attack of the return of the killer Aliens from Mars.

It was a summary of the state of the woo on that matter, except for (I think) Icke's Reptilians. I get grumpy every time I watch it.

Is there any possibility of some possibility in Von whasnames hypothesis?

He does the Promethus myth with space helmets. Anything is possible, I guess, but his premise isn't backed up with anything concrete or even logical. He makes huge leaps from "that looks like a guy in a helmet" to "everything we know today came from B.E.M.s. (That's "bug eyed monsters" if you're not familiar with the term.)

I'm uploading a pdf that I took from Skeptic magazine's "Junior Skeptic" section that covers von D.

Give it a half hour or so to upload.

Why do so many structures, from different societies worldwide, seem to point towards the same spot in the skies?

As in, straight up?

What bollocks. Unless a 'structure' is pointing due north or south, it will continually point to different spots in the sky as the Earth rotates!

That is the limit of von Daniken's scientific accuracy, DSI. The guy's a woo-pushing ignoramus.

He goes from "I wonder if. . . " to " . . . so it is therefore proven" in less time than needed to do so when reading this sentence. (Did that make any sense at all?)

In one of his books, hydrocarbons become manna from heaven. Hydrocarbons, carbohydrates, what's the difference, right?

I don't remember where the hydrocarbons came from, but it was somewhere silly.

Whenever I hear the name Von Daniken I reach for my macuahuitl. :pissed:

I did find it a bit silly after going on about how aliens being misinterpreted as being gods and angels, he then said he believes in god.
I mean, that's like saying "Hey everyone. You know that peice of Red Leicester cheese in the fridge? Well I just proven it's really Double Gloucester, but I still believe it's Red Leicester."
