Shatner presents evidence that the "Gods" of our ancestors were technical visitors from the stars.
Is the human race an experimental byproduct of ancient celestial visitors? Hosted by William Shatner and based on the groundbreaking research of Erich von Däniken, this 1977 documentary investigates the “Stone Age” evidence of extraterrestrial contact. From the enigmatic Peruvian Crystal Skull to the megalithic structures of Southeast Asia, this archive explores the theory that modern civilization was jump-started by non-human intelligence (NHI).
With a focus on archaeological anomalies and high-altitude photography, Shatner challenges the conventional historical narrative, presenting a compelling case for a global “Reality Shift” that acknowledges our place in a larger, cosmic community.
MYSTERIES OF THE GODS (1977) – William Shatner
William Shatner explores the theory that the U.S. government is involved in a cover-up of visiting alien spacecraft.
Based on a book by Erich von Daniken, this documentary contains evidence of extraterrestrial life here on earth.
Proof discovered through photographs taken by scientists and evidence of actual voyages found by archaeologists.
Everything from the Peruvian Crystal Skull to the megalith structures in the jungles of Southeast Asia is accepted as evidence for the AAS theory. Cave drawings, old legends, Biblical stories and even some psychic visions of late Jeane Dixon are understood as stone cold facts. Eric von Däniken‘s reputation was still quite unspoiled at the time so all the arguments (even the most far-fetched) are shown with a great confidence.
Executive Summary
The documentary serves as a visual companion to von Däniken’s Ancient Astronaut Theory, utilizing scientific testimony and archaeological findings to bridge the gap between myth and technical reality.
Key Investigative Pillars:
Archaeological Anomalies: Examination of megalithic sites in the jungles of Southeast Asia and South America that defy the primitive tools available to contemporary cultures.
The “Pioneer” Protocol: Technical analysis of the Pioneer Plaque—humanity’s first official greeting to the stars—and how it mirrors the ancient “messages” left for us in stone.
The Peruvian Crystal Skull: Investigation into artifacts that demonstrate precision manufacturing techniques inconsistent with their historical time period.
Biblical & Mythological Parallels: Reinterpreting ancient texts and legends—including the psychic visions of Jeane Dixon—as documented accounts of technical NHI interactions.
Government Secrecy: Shatner explores the possibility that the U.S. government has maintained a compartmentalized cover-up of these visiting spacecraft since the mid-20th century.
“Proof discovered through photographs taken by scientists and evidence of actual voyages found by archaeologists… the arguments are shown with great confidence.”
