A radio show/TV documentary hybrid, Russell Scott interviews the great Erich von Däniken. If Erich von Däniken wasn't enough, the show is also joined by guest callers: Scotty Roberts, Brien Foerster, Robert Steven Thomas and Michael Tellinger.
Chariots of the Gods? Unsolved Mysteries of the Past.
It involves the hypothesis that the technologies and religions of many ancient civilizations were given to them by ancient astronauts who were welcomed as gods.
Von Däniken offers the following hypotheses: The existence of structures and artifacts have been found which represent higher technological knowledge than is presumed to have existed at the times they were manufactured. Von Däniken maintains that these artifacts were produced either by extraterrestrial visitors or by humans who learned the necessary knowledge from them.
Such artifacts include the Egyptian pyramids, Stonehenge, and the Moai of Easter Island. Further examples include a medieval map known as the Piri Reis Map, allegedly showing the Earth as it is seen from space, and the Nazca lines in Peru, which he explains as landing strips for an airfield.
Interpretations of ancient artwork throughout the world as depictions of astronauts, air and space vehicles, extraterrestrials, and complex technology.
Däniken also describes elements that he believes are similar in art of unrelated cultures. Explanations for the origins of religions as reactions to contact with an alien race, including interpretations of the Old Testament of the Bible.
According to von Däniken, humans considered the technology of the aliens to be supernatural and the aliens themselves to be gods. Däniken asks if the oral and literal traditions of most religions contain references to visitors from stars and vehicles travelling through air and space.
