being formed from extraterrestrial contact ? The idea that we were somehow cross bred between Neanderthal types and more sophisticated beings form far away and that these beings gave the Egyptians special knowledge about building pyramids ?

How much use do we get out of those pyramids now or even when they were built, they were almost purely asthetic. I know they align with certain stars and crap but for what, so they knew that it was 2:30 and not 2:15. If aliens really did come to earth why didn't they show the egyptians something cool like anti-gravity devices.

If that were true, then it would also mean that this form of cross-breeding is still happening today. Fantastic things such as the Pyramids being built didn't just stop there, as there has been a countless number of unimaginable things built by human beings since that time, take the Brooklyn Bridge for instance, did Aliens help out with that too?
If we suddenly figure out how to travel faster than light, or miraculously find out how to utilize Wormholes, or, find the answer to String Theory, then my guess would be that maybe there is something else behind all of these "over-night" discoveries.
However, as far back as recorded history goes, no aliens have assisted humankind with an once of knowledge, or genetics. :)

Interesting question, but I only believe the half of it. Yes I support the idea, after reading "Keeper of Genesis" by Robert Bauval and Graham Hancock, that a lost civilization/advanced beings (not extra-terrestrial) did pave the way for the Egyptians and left traces of their history behind (blueprints of the Pyramids) as a sort of passageway into their elusive past. The theories and evidence is intriguing to say the least, but we may never know the truth if the secrets of their legacy are forever kept locked from modern society. I highly recommend this book if you are interested in the mysteries of our world.

it extremely is finished and utter nonsense. Daniken isn't even a respectable researcher, he's purely an old fraudster (convicted) who regarded at some old archaeological artwork of artwork and stated "i think of it extremely is a alien deliver" or "those nazca strains are actual runways". Sorry, yet any fool could desire to do this. Daniken replaced into purely fortunate that there are maximum of credulous, irrational human beings accessible who will believe something,see you later because it extremely is staggering or sensational. I shouldn't could desire to describe how absurd the belief of UFOs from different celeb structures prefer RUNWAYS to land right here. can not they only land? inspite of the incontrovertible fact that, Daniken's claims are no longer something whilst in comparison with Zacharia Sitchen's, which quite are a fairy tale.

Daniken, whom I've met personally at dinner a couple times, is a crook, plain and simple. He is not very smart, he is brutal and unsophisticated, he asserts semi-truths. And he has sold so many books to the ignorant, that he has become very wealthy.
But there is some justice. He had opened a "Mystery Park" in Interlaken, Switzerland, a kind of amusement park regrouping all his weird theories. He put some of his way too easily earned wealth in there, maybe 10 or 20 million dollars. And the thing went bankrupt.

The scientific community has almost universally dismissed von Däniken's theories. Scientists such as Carl Sagan and I. S. Shklovskii, however, have written about paleocontact and extraterrestrial visitations to earth. Sagan did not rule out the possibility of visitation but he insisted that such extraordinary assertions as von Däniken's demand extraordinary proof and that the absence of evidence makes the claims highly unlikely to be true.
Most historians regard von Däniken's archaeological claims as pseudoscience, and are of the opinion that he is drawing far-reaching conclusions from little evidence and is disregarding more likely alternative hypotheses. But a large group of followers, some of whom have written books of their own, are of the opinion that his ideas are likely to be true.

Wow, I am gonna say no, that is crazy talk. Try to give the human race credit for pete's sake. We are a resourceful, ingenious species. It is realized we, as a human race, stepped backwards during the middle ages, but I would like to think that we did think of pyramids on our own accord. We didn't need ET to figure out the mathematical equations for us on that one. I mean, human beings did invent the Slinky, didn't we?

Interesting concepts, but not a shred of hard, scientific evidence to back it up with.

Unscientific nonsense, but at least, it was food for thought.
