The original ancient astronaut theorist. Godspeed, Erich. Tards gave you so much money. We'll always have Alien Con 2019.

From Giorgio Tsoukalos's FB page.
quote:

It is with profound sadness and a heavy heart that we announce yesterday's passing of Erich von Däniken on January 10, 2026. Our thoughts are with his family. EvD is also mourned by his friends around the world, the millions of readers of his books, and the many colleagues who have had the privilege of working with him for decades.

His "Archaeology, Astronautics, and SETI Research Association" (A.A.S. R.A.) and all those interested in the Ancient Astronaut Theory and Paleo-SETI research have received this news with dismay and sorrow. What a tremendous loss.

He was a brilliant salesman/marketer

Can’t fault him for that

He even admitted that he never believed what he wrote.

My dad had a small library, sometime in college I saw the title "God's from Outer Space" while I was taking an anthropology class at UGA. I read it, and thought "OK, dad really is cool. Dad is based".

Then Chariots of the Gods.

I turned all my friends onto it. Crazy shite.

I have chariots of the gods, in search of ancient gods, the gold of the gods, and gods from outer space

Never heard of the guy, but I kind of wish I had.

Riley Martin, on the other hand....

"Eron...."
"Yes Riley..."
"You gonna have to go to a commercial (vomits on air)."

"We are back...uhhh...I apologize for the food poisoning and things of that nature..."

UAP Gerb is on Jesse Michael's podcast. 4 hrs of beautiful dissection of the US government's UFO programs. Worth a watch anytime Gerb speaks or posts a video.
