Erich von Däniken: Remnants of the Gods

“Classic archaeology and orthodox science do not address the possibility or the evidence that extra-terrestrials guided megalithic culture millennia ago. According to von Däniken’s lifetime of scholarly research, Remnants of the Gods makes the case that ETs surveyed the planet in prehistoric times and disseminated the technology and knowledge that early civilizations used to create the ancient wonders of the world.”

Erich Anton Paul von Däniken Born on April 14th, 1935, in Zofingen, Switzerland, Erich was educated at the College St-Michel in Fribourg, where already as a student he occupied his time with the study of the ancient holy writings. While managing director of a Swiss 5-Star Hotel, he wrote his first book, Chariots of the Gods, which was an immediate bestseller in the United States, Germany, and later in 38 other countries. In the United States, Erich von Däniken won instant fame as a result of the television special “In Search of Ancient Astronauts,” based upon his first book. In 1996, the American TV company ABC/Kane produced a one-hour special, filmed all over the world, entitled Chariots of the Gods – The Mysteries Continue. This film was broadcast on the ABC network on September 26th 1996. In 1996/97 ABC/Kane produced another documentary with Erich von Däniken (seen on the Discovery Channel). In Germany, the biggest

TV network, RTL, showed the film on November 26th, 1996. 7, 7 million viewers in Germany alone watched the program.
