A speculative documentary that reframes ancient human achievements through the lens of extraterrestrial intervention, blending archaeological wonder with pseudoscientific mystery.

Documentary based on the book by Erich von Däniken concerning the ancient mysteries of the world, such as the pyramids of Egypt and Mexico, ancient cave drawings, the monuments of Easter Island, etc., and the fact that these things and modern civilisation could have been influenced by extraterrestrial visitations hundreds (or perhaps thousands) of years ago.
