>The Swiss author and publicist Erich von Däniken died on Saturday at the age of 90. This was announced by a representative and was confirmed to the Keystone-SDA news agency on Sunday by Erich von Däniken's daughter.>As a controversial explorer of the gods, Erich von Däniken made a name for himself worldwide. His books sold millions of copies. >The general claim of Däniken over several published books, starting with Chariots of the Gods? in 1968, is that extraterrestrials or "ancient astronauts" visited Earth and influenced early human culture. Däniken writes about his belief that structures such as the Egyptian pyramids, Stonehenge, and the Moai of Easter Island, and certain artifacts from that period, are products of higher technological knowledge than is presumed to have existed at the times they were manufactured. He also describes ancient artwork throughout the world as containing depictions of astronauts, air and space vehicles, extraterrestrials, and complex technology. Däniken explains the origins of religions as reactions to contact with an alien race, and offers interpretations of sections of the Old Testament of the Bible.

>>41790912The earth is flat and stationary with a dome. Aliens don't exist. Outer Space is a complete meme. Richard Danken is a globohomo puppet whose life's work is based on the globohomo space model and mysteries.
RIP legend
I just watched "Chariots of the Gods?" (1970). It's interesting, but the film hasn't aged well at all. Apparently nobody has ever tried to restore it. Also it seems to have been shot with the cheapest colour film material and sound equipment available at the time.
