ASK THE QUESTIONS [11f]
Five! Four! Three! Two! One!
At a time when we have just begun to explore Mars and look forward to an era when space travel is commonplace, might we find the answers to the questions mankind has been asking for centuries? Who are we? Why are we here?
|
“We’re gonna go back to the moon, and we’re gonna go to Mars, and so once we become, ourselves, a space-faring people, the idea of Ancient Astronauts coming here will be even more accepted, I think.” – David Childress (Author, Technology of the Gods) |
|
“It takes decades, sometimes centuries, before paradigm is changed. And I think what’s going to be shown in the next decade is that society as a whole is going to explore this. And I think Erich is going to be perceived as really the instigator of this all, the man who was able to pose the question in such a way that it became acceptable for the people of the world to really ponder it.” – Philip Coppens |
|
“We have to bear in mind that he was talking about Ancient Astronaut stuff nearly still talking about it to this day. The important thing is, if there was nothing to his work the whole phenomena would have died a death.” – Nick Redfern (Author, Memoirs of a Monster Hunter), |
Did Ancient Astronauts really come to Planet Earth? And if so, what was their purpose? And perhaps even more important, will they come again?
|
“These highly developed people, with high technology, high civilization, would interact with these primitive humans and show them certain things, including agriculture and building techniques and how to live together in harmony in order to try to develop civilization and bring us to a higher state, and the state that we’re living in today.” – David Childress (Author, Technology of the Gods) |
GUEST AT LECTURE: The Ancient Alien hypothesis, what have you jettisoned in the intervening time? What did you purport that was wrong, and what have you revised?
|
“Of course, when I was young I was enthusiastic, and I was not so proper in researching, so there were a few things which I had to learn I was wrong. And then you accept you were wrong, but you try with every book to become better. Because, ladies and gentlemen, I learned we must continue to ask the questions. Our scientists have a tunnel view. They don’t want to see things which go further than their thinking. And that’s why we all here, we change the thinking, the consciousness of all this society. Thank you.” – Erich von Däniken (Author, Chariots of the Gods?) |
|
“Inevitably, anyone that reads von Däniken’s books and thinks carefully about his work whether they accept his conclusions or not, they cannot fail to wonder and ponder on the idea of: has religion actually got it wrong, were we just really visited by Ancient Aliens and nothing else and we’ve incorporated that into our belief systems and created these structured religions which are based on ancient UFO visits?” – Nick Redfern (Author, Memoirs of a Monster Hunter), |
|
“Looking at our planet, we have two groups of human. One group is religious. The other group is a scientific group. The religious group believe that God created everything, the whole Universe the suns, the solar systems, the trees, the plants, the animal, but we humans are the crown of creation. The other group, the scientific group, they think we know everything about mutation, selection, that we are on top of evolution. Now, in both cases we think we humans are the greatest. There is nothing higher than we. We have to learn that we are just one of the million species out there. We have been visited and it continues. These visitors will return to Earth again.” – Erich von Däniken (Author, Chariots of the Gods?) |
Will mankind’s origins remain a mystery? Perhaps the answers lie right in front of us, in every corner of the globe, and all we need to do is what Erich von Däniken began doing more than half a century ago keep digging keep exploring and keep watching the skies.
