The Case of the Ancient Astronauts Filming Locations

Text: Horizon investigates whether first contact with aliens has already occurred. The publication of 'Chariots of the Gods?' by Erich von Daniken is central to this documentary and some of von Daniken's claims of evidence of extra-terrestrial visitations, such as the Palenque slab, the Nazca lines, Easter Island Moai and the Great Pyramid of Giza are investigated and debunked by archaeologists including Thor Heyerdahl. It concludes that von Daniken's thesis relies on unrelated facts, false similarities and phony evidence. Available as a PBS' NOVA episode, released in 1978. U.S. narration by Don Wescott. This episode is actually a special and not included in this season. It's included because almost every other specials have been.
