Gods and aliens on TV

The History Channel is showing a programme called Ancient Aliens today at 9pm. The blurb says:

"The Visitors: From the Dogon people of Mali to the Native American Zuni tribe, many ancient cultures believed in visitors from the stars. Could aliens have played a hand in human history?"

This is obviously not a new idea. Erich Von Daniken has been writing about that subject for about 40 years, with books such as Chariots of the Gods? : Was God An Astronaut?

However, I'd be interested to see whether this History Channel documentary has anything new to say. Sadly, I won't be able to, as the channel isn't available on freeview. If you do watch it, please leave a comment saying what you thought.

I actually thought this show was awful. When one of the so called speakers tried to connect the Golden Dawn with Hitler I about had a heartattack.

After that I could not take the show serious at all. :(
