I credit this show for starting my lifelong fascination with UFOs. I first saw it on TV in the 1970s when I was a kid, and it blew my mind. Up until then, I'd never even heard of UFOs.
Thanks for posting it up! I can finally watch it again after all these years. Also, the quality is very good for only 240p. Nice job.
Doing drugs and doing science are not mutually exclusive. Carl Sagan was known to have been a regular marijuana user. Francis Crick, co-discoverer of the structure of DNA, admitted to doing LSD, which he claimed helped him make the discovery that won him the Nobel Prize.

wooow i havnt seen this old school propaganda film in a while..its in the same vain as the kkk film bashing africans,and the ones made to stereotype the jewish back in hitlers day...thanks for the true piece of nostalgia...peace
The "natives" with the chia pet hair couldn't have been staged could it? I am sure they would allow some dude with a camera to photograph them.....Right? ha ha
100 % how can it be only 50 % of what i v said ... ... lol ... man created god ... 100 % true ... god has not created human 100 % true ... so its 100 % true ... go back to school ... ( not american school )
"Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic".
-Arthur C. Clark
It makes sense that a primitive and isolated society would look at our science and technology and think we were gods. Airplanes, computers, TV, cell phones...shit, even a freakin cigarette lighter would be mind blowing to them!
This is some racist bullshit. I bet he goes on to talk about how the ignorant indians in central and south america had to get help from aliens to build their pyramids and learn astronomy
Racist because it denies that native communities were "advanced" enough to create monumental architecture on their own. This also happened when Europeans first came to the new world. Native groups were not considered smart enough to have created the ruins, so they were ascribed to the lost tribes of Israel, extinct superior "races", etc.
It's not a matter of racism. It is of their level of knowledge and technology.
If I were to visit a tribe living in the Amazon rain forest, I know that they do not have the knowledge or technology to create a space craft that is able to travel to the moon. This does not make me racist.
Now, if I were to say that they do not have the intellectual capacity to learn how to create the space craft, then this would make me a racist.
"Now, if I were to say that they do not have the intellectual capacity to learn how to create the space craft, then this would make me a racist" is exactly what I said in my last sentence... it denies that native people were "smart" enough to have done these things. Like you said, this makes it racist. Period. Have you watched this video?!
You seem to be confused between the meanings of "level of knowledge" and "intellectual capacity." Nowhere in the video did it say that natives were not "smart" enough. It was implying that these peoples' level of knowledge was not advanced enough to be able to understand the technology of the extraterrestrials. That is NOT racism.
We cant land on Mars or Venus or even the Moon, were regarded as bacteria, and invasive species.
Extra Terrestrials will not allow us to leave the planet until our evolutionary process is taken over by technology, Trans-humanism, Immersive Technology.
"All truth passes through three stages. First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as being self-evident." (Arthur Schopenhauer)
Those who built the pyramids and all the other great structures (shown in the complete documentary of von daniken) for sure had advanced technology, but it doesn't mean that they are extraterrestrials. They could've been ancient earth beings. Somehow the technology they had before got lost.. maybe because of ancient nuclear wars? hehe.. or maybe a great flood. Just sharing my opinion.
The natives look like they have fun fur caps on their heads...it's kinda of comical!! Erich is still the man tho...without his unorthodox approach he brought to light many things that would have remained hidden!! Thanx for this!! Peace!
It would of been neat if they would of gotten accounts from the natives point of view. Not sure if the narrator was quoting one. Did they really think they were gods? Is it possible they wanted them back just because they were fascinated by the technology and were like "wow! that's some cool shit!"?
Are those people still around? Or did they get wiped out?
Whats even scarier to me is the Nazi German use and development of the "Bell". A high amptitude, mercury based, anti-gravity thing-a-ma-bob. Supposedly they ran high current through it and it caused "Anti-Gravity" effects. Much like the indian "Vimana". That kinda freaked me out cause i havent seen this in awhile.
(Side note: The US goverment snagged up the scientists working on the bell and other projects after WW2)
Hmm, a Mormon by the name of Glen Larson combined Von Daniken's theories with his LDS upbringing to draw inspiration from for most of the Battlestar Gallactica books and TV series.
Being raised Mormon myself, I have little trouble believing this stuff. It's all pretty obvious once you look at the artifacts and reasoning he presents. I bet if Brigham Young were alive today he'd have read most of Daniken's books. He brought "God" more down to a practical level, while taking away nothing.
I think you are right areas. They often do this in documentary reincactments. More so in the 1970s and few noticed at them time. The "cargo cult" does exhist in the south pacific, probably not nearly as dramatic as this.
I remember when this was on television when I was I kid. This is so kitsch. The "natives" of the South Pacific Islands were actually wearing tiger skin outfits and hair that could only be done with hairdryers.
Sad that the tablets and artifacts in the Bagdad Museum with some of the mysterious of mankind were destroyed by American military during their invasion of Iraq.
This video was quite a disappointment as its evidence is so stunningly weak. "A case fore intelligent design?" Its case is so inadequate, it can hardly be called one. I must say I really expected more than the words of an astronaut and: "Throughout the world people have fables, legends, and even religions which center around visits from foreign astronauts (that they call) gods who came to Earth in miraculous sky vehicles." If that's your argument, Atheists can rest their case.
Perhaps the description is misleading. My reason for uploading this clip was to introduce another theory about the origin of life on this planet. A theory which has been largely ignored by the mainstream. The theory of extra terrestrial ID.
There are mountains of evidence which support this theory. I'm not trying to convince anyone of anything. So, whether you want to research further into this subject is your choice.
well i commend you for not flinging poo like a lot of people would to the responses. and although the case in this video is extremely weak and doesnt have evidence just speculation. i would believe aliens created us before some "timeless" supernatural non existant being. although i just believe we evolved
@GodlessAmericans This is *NOT* an anti-christ video, this is simply stating that God COULD have made life all around us expecting this outcome. We as earthlings are currently IN THE PROCESS of bringing life to Mars, and expanding our species there. Sound Familiar? Atheists still have no grounds either way. I am not sold on this idea for the record, I still have way too many questions. I do however feel that the best answer for our questions is an unknown technology. Dont knock this, yet.....
