RIFLE RANGE BOY: Chariots of the Gods?

Tomb of Mayan ruler Pakal (603-683 CE)
in Palenque, Mexico. Interpreted as
depicting an astronaut in his spaceship.

It is better than never. That is what I told myself when I was watching the documentary based on Erich von Daniken's book, 'Chariots of the Gods?' a good 35 years too late. And I was also reminding myself the Tamil saying that says 'what we know is a fistful but indeed what we do not know is ocean deep'!
I always wanted to watch it ever since my English master (KSG) and my schoolmates talked about it in 1976! Now the chance finally came. Thanks to Ebay!
The narration started on how we would we would ushered when we were to visit a land far far away. With awe, respect, devotion? That the basis of his theory. Ancient visitors did visit us many years ago, to many parts of the world. They were awed by Earthlings who decided to to immortalize the visitors in cave drawings, stone carvings and monuments. They were worshiped. With the technologies imparted upon them, they built mammoth, mind boggling, precise technologically advanced (even for present times) masonry of which their functions are still not fully understood.

His narration covers all corners of the continents.

Europe and Middle East, he visits the lost city of Troy, Turkey, Egypt; shows us an medieval map of world as if seen from space high above Cairo (?taken from a space ship) with Antarctica on it (which was discovered in 20th century!)
Africa, a sub Saharan desert which had a highly developed civilization 16 thousand years ago with cave carvings and men in spacesuits;
Japan and Australia - cave drawings of jet planes and astronaut!;
Central and South American with the wealth of archaeological findings of pyramids, monolithic stones nicely cut and fitted centuries ago with (?what), of Inca civilization and Machu Picchu, of the Mayans, their calendar and how they suddenly disappeared in 600AD without a trace with no trace of war, famine or plague! And the Nasca lines which are equated to air landing strips;

The Visitors?

And how there is similarity in drawing in ancient drawings with head gear and space suit like garments - from Sumeria, the holy books (Bible, Qur'an, Mahabharata) right up to Incas.

You will end up more humbled but confused than the confused world we live in.
