NEW YORK, NY – 1 in 3 Americans believe in extraterrestrial phenomena, and many also accept the theory that Earth was visited by intelligent life forms thousands of years ago. Are monuments like Stonehenge and Easter Island the last remains of this ancient alien visitation? And, is it possible that they brought with them technology that drastically affected the course of history and man’s own development?

Presented in Erich von Daniken’s 1968 bestseller “Chariots of the Gods,” the theory of “ancient aliens” rocked people’s beliefs in mankind’s progress. Ancient cave drawings of strange creatures, remains of landing strips in Peru, and Indian texts that describe the “flying machines of the gods” were just a few of the odd archaeological artifacts cited by von Daniken as proof that ancient “astronauts” were well known to our ancestors.
Produced with the exclusive cooperation of von Daniken himself, ANCIENT ALIENS launches all-new expeditions to seek out and evaluate this evidence, with a concentration on the most recent discoveries of the last 30 years, including unusual DNA findings on man’s evolution and newly decoded artifacts from Egypt to Syria to South America. From unexplainable super structures, to knowledge of the solar system, mathematics, and even the ability to make electricity, this fascinating special explores evidence of super-human influences on ancient man and embarks on an around-the-world search for answers.
History and science aficionados and extraterrestrial enthusiasts alike will revel in ANCIENT ALIENS’ balanced – yet altogether riveting – investigation into a theory some believe cannot be true, but many agree cannot be ignored.
