Publisher's Synopsis
Is it possible that intelligent life forms visited Earth thousands of years ago, bringing with them technology that drastically affected the course of history and man's own development? Presented in the 1968 bestselling book Chariots of the Gods?, by Erich von Daniken, the theory of 'Ancient Aliens' rocked people's belief in mankind's progress. Ancient cave drawings of strange extraterrestrial creatures, remains of landing strips in Peru, and Indian texts that describe the 'flying machines of the gods' have been seen by some, as evidence that Ancient Astronauts were well known to our ancestors. Ancient Alien Theorists launch all-new expeditions to seek out and evaluate more recent discoveries, including unusual DNA findings on man's evolution, and newly decoded artifacts from Egypt to Syria to South America. It is a balanced investigation into a theory some believe cannot be true, but many agree cannot be ignored. [Ancient Aliens: Season One. Prometheus Entertainment.
