Erich von Däniken

Erich von Däniken is a Swiss writer who has written a number of best selling books that claim the various gods of human mythologies are actually aliens. His first and most famous book is called ''Chariots of the Gods?'', and hypothesizes that ancient civilizations were influenced by "ancient astronauts", benevolent aliens that helped early humans.

The article Charioteer of the Gods shows that Erich indirectly drew much of his inspiration from the writings of American mystic Howard Phillips Lovecraft, although the possibility that he is a pawn of the Mi-go should not be discounted.
