Erich von Däniken is a controversial Swiss author best known for his books which present claims of evidence for extraterrestrial influences on early human culture, most prominently Chariots of the Gods?, published in 1968.
His work misused archaeological evidence, studies of religion, and of art to make his case. Evidence which countered his arguments was ignored.
Most in the scientific community have ignored or dismissed von Däniken's hypotheses.
For some reason, he reminds me of Robert Heath.
By 1982 he could not find an English or American publisher for his tenth book.
