I have read his book the chariots of the gods when i was young. It really sparked my interest in aliens. Good read.
Hope his spirit isn’t captured by the aliens over earths surface..
I enjoyed watching the TV show “Ancient Aliens” used to come on National Geographic channel on DTH platforms, nowadays the occasional YouTube video clip pops up in my suggested feed.
Ancient Aliens is now available in discovery+
In Chariots of the Gods?, Däniken cited the iron pillar of Delhi in India, erected approximately 402 AD, as a prime example of extraterrestrial influence because of its “unknown origins” and a complete absence of rust despite its estimated 1,500 years of continuous exposure to the elements. When informed by an interviewer in 1974 that the origin of the pillar, its method of construction and relative resistance to corrosion were all well understood, Däniken responded that he no longer believed extraterrestrials had been involved in its creation.
Lol, India mentioned in his wiki
