Götter-Shock: Erich von Däniken and the Return of the Extraterrestrials

The Revelation

In October 2009, in the soothing Swiss village of Beatenberg, before my return to Germany, Erich von Däniken (April 14, 1935), the brilliant promoter of PaleoSETI –or Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence in Antiquity– historiography told me:
In about 10 or 15 years, the existence of extraterrestrials will be revealed. The evidence for everything I have presented in my books will be made public. It will be Götter-Shock, the “Shock of the Gods”. It will be the prelude to their return.
This communication, certainly, is crucial and takes on surprising significance now, following NASA’s (National Aeronautics and Space Administration) public acknowledgement of UAPs (Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena), popularly known as UFOs (June-July 2023) and in light of the so-called “Nazca Alien Mummies” (September 2023).
How could Erich von Däniken have anticipated all this?

Clearly, the revolution in thought pioneered by von Däniken has opened up a broader horizon that goes beyond the weak parameters of orthodox archaeology and historiography, the evolutionary-diffusionist dogma and the presumed origin in Africa. This, because according to von Däniken who based on ancestral traditions mankind descends from extraterrestrials –“we are the offspring of the gods”1–.
The Götter-Shock or “Shock of the Gods” is destined to shatter the Zeitgeist or “Spirit of the Age” that prevails among people. As von Däniken accurately announced, the Götter-Shock is the prelude to the return of the extraterrestrials, that is, the ancient gods, the Hówen, the Viracochas-Quetzalcoatls, the Devas, the Asen and the Vanes.
And of the Einherjer.
It is the return of the powerful deity B’olon Yokte’K’u –or “Nine Gods” or “God of Nine Steps” or “God of Nine Legs”, composed or made up of beings who “tear down the heavens”– and the “appearance” in the skies of UFOs, of the “Chariots of the Gods”, the Astras-Vimanas of the Great War of the Mahābhārata.
It is the αρουσία or “Parousia”. The Maranatha.
The premonition of “He Who Returns”. Of MANÚ, the “MAN WHO WILL COME” as Miguel Serrano observed2.

The Sacred Tradition of the Gods

Interlaken, Switzerland. October 9, 2024.
I am with my friend Diego Antolini.
We met with Erich von Däniken and Ramon Zürcher, his secretary.
The conversation quickly became transcendental, addressing the most substantial fields of knowledge: The mysterious origin of man; the ancestral and practically planetary tradition of descended gods from the firmament; the magnificent monuments of antiquity –the Temple of Sethos in Abydos and the Great Pyramid of
Giza in Egypt, Tikal in Guatemala, the Tiahuanaco-Puma Punku axis in Bolivia, and the underground cities of present-day Turkey–; sources such as the Vedas, the Book of Enoch, and even certain passages from the Bible; and fields of knowledge such as the “appearance” of man –the “Garden of Eden”–; the sacred spaces of the ancient world where temples once stood; the great cyclical catastrophes –addressing authors such as Plato and Hanns Hörbiger– and of course the concepts of ‘creation’ and ‘evolution’.
Now, one of the fundamental aspects of our conversation focuses on the “gods”. And Erich reveals something unique about the ancestral tradition perpetuated from generation to generation:
(…) Every culture has the knowledge that the gods will return. They promised us in the past that they would return. In our time, this promise of return has become a religious symbol. Christians await the return of Jesus, Muslims await the return of their Mahdi, the Jewish community awaits the return of their Messiah… And I am sorry, but neither the Mahdi, nor the Messiah, nor Jesus will return, but simply aliens! This is an old promise of return. All cultures have it, and I am sure that, in the meantime, they have returned. They are here (…).

Significantly, the day after our remarkable meeting with Erich von Däniken, that is, on October 10, the legendary chieftain of the Ugha Mongulala, Tatunca Nara –“Great River Serpent”– in another pivotal conversation, told me in essentially the same terms:
The new civilization will originate in South America (…).
The gods are hereThey are in Antarctica, in the Andes, and in the Himalayas. They are immortal. They were known to the most ancient civilization (…).
Is it possible?
What is the source? Where does this knowledge come from?
It is an extraordinary event that two exceptional figures, who have addressed the FORBIDDEN HISTORY of mankind, today without any contact and thousands of miles apart, have expressed the same idea: Both have referred, without intermediation –in less than 24 hours– that the ancient gods –the extraterrestrials– are here, once again driving a new cycle.
This is Ragnarökkr or “Final Destiny” of the Æsir or Asen and their descendants.
The announcement of the appearance –the “return”– of the gods communicated by Erich von Däniken and Tatunca Nara are the rumble of the New Age –the New Sun3–.

Endnotes

1 Erich von Däniken has ventured: Did they [extraterrestrials], thousands of years ago, perhaps implant a code in our genetic structure, so that after a predetermined number of generations certain messages could be activated in our brains? Is it possible that we carry coded messages and information that are activated by certain stimuli, so that we become aware of them?
