15 Seasons - first episode April 20, 2010
Investigators circle the globe in search of evidence in their quest to determine whether life on Earth began in outer space and if aliens influenced mankind in ancient times. Did extraterrestrial beings visit Earth and share information about technology and influence human religions?
Erich von Daniken's Chariots of the Gods (first published January 1968) is a work of monumental importance--the first book to introduce the shocking theory that ancient Earth had been visited by aliens. This world-famous bestseller has withstood the test of time, inspiring countless books and films, including the author's own popular sequel, The Eyes of the Sphinx. 
Outside of College textbooks, this was one of the first books that I purchased in the 60's because of limited financial resources. I remember reading this book 2-3 times before I started acquiring more books on the subject of extraterrestrials visiting earth. Given the size of our universe, it just seemed highly logical and extremely probable that the human race was NOT ALONE...
SO... let me give you an idea of how big our universe is. First of all, you must understand that our EARTH lives inside a solar system and that solar system is a small part of our Milky Way Galaxy. While the diameter of the Milky way varies although for the most part is ~ 100,000 light years; therefore, the diameter of the Milky way is roughly 160,256,410 times as wide as the solar system. |
| Two Trillion Galaxies in the Universe |
It would take TWO BILLION YEARS cross the Milky Way Galaxy at LIGHT SPEED.
NOW, scientist believe there are TWO TRILLION Galaxies in the UNIVERSE.
Given this knowledge, it would be absolutely ludicrous to believe or even perceive that we are the only living SPECIES in the Universe.
