| In 1968, Erich von Daniken published Chariots of the Gods? This ground breaking book presented, for the first time on a wide scale basis, photographic evidence of extra-terrestrial contact with Earth in the distant past. In 1974, NBC television presented In Search of Ancient Astronauts, showing much of the photographic evidence presented by von Daniken. Of course, he was, and continues to be attacked for going against the established presentation of history by showing a worldwide connection between drawings, buildings and large scale images that, primitive humans as defined by the establishment, would never have been able to accomplish. The same gigantic structures and images separated by thousands of miles and on different continents. In many, many books since 1968, von Daniken presents the photographic evidence with his conjectures. If you never read the text, the photographs alone are most revealing. Arrival of the Gods: Revealing the Alien Landing Sites of Nazca, just for the photographs alone, is a very worthwhile purchase. It has many color, high detailed photographs of drawings and designs that are so large, they can only be seen from the air; in some cases, from a considerable height. It also has a number of pictures of ancient figures, estimated to be 80-100,000 years old that show some astounding images. When you look at the numerous photographs of the South American region, it is clear why the establishment wants the dots not to be connected. The giant figures could not have been created by primitive people. Whether you agree with von Daniken's views or not, it is clear that history as presented by the establishment, is not accurate. Since academia and science know about all the information presented by von Daniken, for them to maintain their position amounts to academic/scientific dishonesty. |
