After reading Theland's thread below (who or what created the universe) and the debate that developed between Naomi and others regarding ancient aliens visiting Earth, I thought that it may deserve a thread of its own.
I read von Daniken's books as a teenager and later found out that much of what he wrote was fabricated. *BUT* there have been other authors who have had the same ideas without Danikens fancies.
Myself, I'm open minded about it all, but still a fascinating subject to discuss.

It is indeed but we have to wait for a certain someone to get up a full head of steam re von Daniken and let it all pour forth.

Again. :-)
Nailit....Daniken was, and still is a charlatan....to put it more simply, a conman. He has made himself wealthy of the backs of the credulous.

Not much but all of his inane ramblings have been proven to be twaddle.

Move along now....nothing more to see !
Douglas...didn't have to wait very long, did we !
There wasn't really any discussion on that thread about ancient aliens visiting earth, nailit. Plenty of character assassination from people who know very little about the subject - but little discussion. Never mind - good for you for trying. As long as they're not more character assassinations, I look forward to any responses you may receive.
Nope.
I think you need to name the other authors and why you see value in their claims/ideas. Then there's a potential discussion.

Mikey, this thread is NOT about von Daniken...
Oops. I was too late. They've already descended.
Nailit...forgive....I thought you had mentioned him of your OP !

I am going to bow out of this your thread, as I was due back on the Planet Earth hours ago.
Mikey, good idea. You need to get your feet on the ground.
Question Author
Mikey, YES I did mention him in my OP. And said that he fabricated his evidence. Blimey, feel like I'm sometimes debating with a religious nutter, ''here's my view, goodbye''

O-G Its been years since I read anything like this but just a quick google...

Nailit...then why did you post, at 18:01...."Mikey, this thread is NOT about von Daniken...?
Wait until we are visited by aliens who will be more advanced than us by thousands of years and they will tell us who the "CREATOR" is. Don't forget that us humans have only recently evolved from our pals in the jungle and our little brains are only developing. Maybe in another 10,000 years we will have have a better idea of what its all about, that is, if our tiny planet Earth survives a meteor strike or perhaps our sun will pull the plug and put the lights out.
Question Author
Mikey, you've lost me mate. This thread is not about von Daniken but about the ancient alien astronaut theory...of which many others wrote about aside from Daniken.
Clearly the thread is about 'Ancient Alien Astronauts'
Nailit I think you'd be interested in Zechariah Sitchin , he links his findings in ancient Sumerian inscriptions to "alien" visits and certain events described in the Old Testament .
Thanks, but I've not read the books, so would need a poster to post the claims made and why they were suitable for serious consideration. I have read quite a few von Daniken paperbacks back in the day. If they're shown to be fanciful interpretation why should one give others the benefit of the doubt ?

Do you mean if one is shown to give von Daniken the benefit of the doubt?
Benhilton, Yes, I'm aware of Sitchins works..ive read his books, thanks
Even Woody Guthrie sang about Ezekial's wheel. :))
