This means that we still have 15 years to see whether the Mayan prediction will actually come true.īut Von Däniken contests that the return of Quetzalcoatl wouldn’t entail a feathered serpent that descends from the sky, but potentially an extraterrestrial, as seen in the depictions of rulers appearing to pilot machines. Von Däniken says that there are, more or less, 20 years around the day that we think Christ was born, distorting our prediction of the return of Quetzalcoatl. While this prophecy apparently failed to come to fruition, Erich von Däniken says he believes that this date was calculated based on our Judeo-Christian calendar, which is somewhat ambiguous in its relation to the birth of Christ. This date was calculated as of December 21 st, 2012, which caused a lot of excitement and fear leading up to the day that many assumed could be the apocalypse. Known as Quetzalcoatl in the Nahuatl language, or Kukulkan in Mayan, this entity was highly revered and, upon his departure, told the Mayans that he would one day return to Earth. There were a couple of names for a feathered serpent-like god in the Mayan pantheon who descended from the heavens and taught these ancient people about astronomy, architecture, and construction, among other things. But were the Mayans gods who imbued the ancient civilization with their advanced knowledge actually ancient alien gods? Were the Ancient Gods Aliens? These were people who were obsessed with astronomy, boasting a highly advanced calendar that is still accurate to this day. The ancient Mayan civilization of Central America has astounded archeologists and researchers for decades and it seems that more and more puzzling discoveries related to this ancient culture continue to be made.
