Way back in the late 1960s speculative author Erich von
Däniken wrote a book called Chariot of the Gods (later made into a movie) that
sets forth the following hypothesis: what if Earth’s ancient civilizations were
products of visits from aliens millennium ago?
What if the ancient techniques for building, medicine, science, etc.
were products of knowledge shared by extraterrestrials?
As a young man at the time I was fascinated by the possibilities. Even today such possibilities intrigues me.
Lionsgate and the History Channel present in a 2-disc DVD
collection ‘The Best of Ancient Aliens Greatest Mysteries.
In the set the documentaries examine the ancient technology responsible
for building the pyramids, the frightening scenario that the Black Plague was a
planned epidemic and the Nazi during WWII used alien acquired technology to
create some its ‘super weapons’ and much more.
Eight episodes make up the set and each are fascinating ‘what
if’ explorations of the mysteries of the past.
