About

Film investigates the theories of Erich von Daniken (Chariots of the Gods) and others that the Earth has been visited by intelligent beings from outer space. Among claims examined are: that the building techniques used in the Great Pyramid of Cheops are so advanced that only an extraterrestrial intelligence could have built it; and that the engraved stones of Palenque in Mexico depict an ancient astronaut at the controls of a space rocket.

Examines the views expressed in Erich von Däniken's book entitled Chariots of the Gods? in which he maintains that astronauts from other worlds helped build the pyramids of Egypt and the statues on Easter Island and that these people were the real gods of ancient legends
