Were the Greek gods of mythology extraterrestrial visitors who interacted with earth humans thousands of years ago?

Internationally acclaimed author, researcher, lecturer releases Odyssey of the Gods, his 25th book since Chariots of the Gods. The Eclectic Viewpoint is privileged to present him June 11, 2000, at the Harvey  House Hotel in Plano.

When Erich von Däniken introduced his first book in 1969, he ignited the imagination of millions and challenged the very foundations of many revered institutions.

Now, three decades later, the academic world is beginning to accept the evidence of numerous scholars, researchers, archeologists and scientists of many disciplines who are shedding new light on our possible origins. In view of our own accomplishments in science and technology, it is no longer quite such a revolutionary idea that there may have been advanced civilizations who preceded us and who could have visited our planet in the past. When von Däniken first made his case to the public, however, most of the academic community was (to put it kindly) ìunsupportiveî of his concepts.

The dauntless von Däniken has since delivered more than 3,000 lectures (500 of them to universities) in twenty-eight countries. He logs approximately 100,000 miles per year visiting remote sites which inspire his impressive body of work. To date, his books have sold over 56 million copies; two have been made into motion pictures, i.e., Chariots of the Gods and In Search of Ancient Astronauts. In addition, his televised series of one hour specials on one of Germany's major networks had a consistent viewership of seven million. In the United States his documentaries have appeared on ABC television (9/26/96) and more recently on The Discovery Channel. Erich von Däniken's Dallas appearance is being sponsored by The Eclectic Viewpoint, which has been a presence in the community since 1992. Mr. von Däniken will be available for book signing after the presentation.
