Yes, you might recognize this as the original ‘Ancient Aliens’ show. Maybe not so sophisticated, but then again, it is only an hour or so, and of course, not the book. Filmed in 1970, it was quite up-to-date for the time. This is based on Erich von Däniken's Chariots of the Gods. 1968.
A few facts were twisted, and a few were unknown at the time. However, the premise is that because people drew weird pictures or made difficult structures, we were visited and helped by doing what people cannot do.
I did like that they brought up the Piri Reis maps, which is also a favorite story. Charles Hapgood's 1966 book “Maps of the Ancient Sea Kings.”
Well, we do not want to get off the subject. Many reviews are polarized because of the subject, but the film itself is a cheap and incomplete production.
