Did these “ancient aliens” contribute to the birth of human civilization? Do our ancient monuments contain evidence of their presence?In 1968, Swiss hotelier Erich von Däniken posed these key questions in his book, Chariots of the Gods, which sold more than 63 million copies, proving that millions of people in the Western world were open to the notion that we might have been visited by extraterrestrial beings. Now, 35 years on, there is still tremendous popular interest in this “Ancient Alien Question.” The television series Ancient Aliens is continuously rated as The History Channel’s most watched documentary. What was originally conceived as a two-hour special grew into a phenomenon that saw more seasons added, each with more shows than it had before.But despite media and public interest, the phrase ancient aliens remains taboo within the scientific community. Whether or not we were alone in the human adventure that was early civilization is a question that is still not answered, or even addressed.
