Erich von Däniken's monumental Chariots of the Gods changed the way generations have looked at mythology, ancient history, and the possibility of advanced beings from other worlds visiting Earth.

Did the Phoenicians, who circumnavigated the African continent in 600 BC, never consider sailing farther? Were the Vikings, the

We live in an age of information.
