Philip Coppens and the Ancient Alien Question
Have we been visited by extra-terrestrial beings in the past? Did these “ancient aliens” contribute to the birth of human civilization? Do our ancient monuments contain evidence of their presence?
In 1968, Swiss hotelier Erich von Däniken posed these questions and sold more than 63 million copies of his book, Chariots of the Gods. 35 years on, the “ancient alien question” has still not been answered by science, though it is clear that there is tremendous popular interest in the subject. The series Ancient Aliens is continuously rated as The History Channel’s most watched documentary. But despite media and public interest, the phrase “ancient aliens” remains taboo within the scientific community. The closest topic explored by science is the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence (SETI), executed by radio astronomy. But SETI merely investigates whether there are extraterrestrial civilizations somewhere out there, in the depths of the universe, their existence detectable through powerful radio telescopes. It is far less controversial than the question about ancient aliens, about which science states that it knows that there were no alien interventions in our past. Is science right-
In Chariots of the Gods, von Däniken posed more than 230 questions: could this or that structure, artifact or legend be evidence of an alien visitation or intervention- There are the pyramids of Giza in Egypt, the phenomenally intricate walls at many of the Peruvian archaeological sites, like Sacsayhuaman, where the most odd-shaped stones, some weighing over 100 tons, fit perfectly together, as if first designed on a computer screen. There are the quaint descriptions in the bible, as to how Lot’s wife could possibly turn to salt when looking back at Sodom being destroyed by God. And what to make of Genesis 6, where there are references to giants and “the sons of God” coming down to mate with “the daughters of men”- The question of alien intervention in our Earth’s history was and has continued to be posed since.
Skeptical scholars have claimed that since 1968, von Däniken has been proven wrong. Not so: more than forty years later, most of the 230 questions posed by von Däniken remain unanswered by science. Certain sites, like the famous Nazca Lines, were hardly explored by scientists at the time von Däniken brought them to global attention. The Nazca lines are hundreds of lines drawn on the desert sands of Peru, somewhat resembling the layout of a modern airport. Could it be an ancient airport, von Däniken pondered- The suggestion has since become one of the most famous examples of the Ancient Alien Question….
