Chariots of the Gods is a traditional speculative documentary from the early 1970s. It adheres to the standard adventure-science clichés of the time, focusing on a Western-centric investigative perspective. While the film questions religious explanations for ancient monuments, it remains within the realm of speculative science rather than social or political critique.

Official Synopsis
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.
