Thank you Thank you Thank
you I wanted to thank you on behalf of everybody who's
learned such a lot from all your work, all your life, and you've done a fantastic job, and I really wanted to tell you this.
In the meantime, I'm 74 years old, but the gods still love me.
The gods are taking good care of you.
The gods still love me, and I'm still, and continue writing books.
So in total, I have at the moment 32 books on the market.
And I'm just writing one.
In the United States, my newest one is called History is Wrong.
This one will be in the market in about four months.
That's a great...
History is wrong with the red title.
And this is a great book, too.
What is your topic?
My topic is exactly the same as yours.
It is presenting the truth to the people who have not been told the truth by the politicians, by the scientists, by the teachers, or even by their parents, because they don't know any better.
And what we're trying to put in place is an alternative education To, as you said, the title of your new book is called...
History is Wrong.
History is Wrong, and History is Wrong.
I know at least quite a lot of it is wrong.
Quite a lot of it is wrong.
Some scientists are lying to us.
Of course, the majority are nice and integral personalities, but some of them are lying.
Yes.
And the guys who really know what's going on are all working for the government.
Of course.
Could you remind me which year did you come with the chariots of the gods?
1968.
1968.
That was in German language.
In German.
It came in the United States in 1969.
Okay.
I bought it in England when I was a little kid.
That was the book that got me started on a journey that's now helped me help and my friends help a lot of other people.
In the meantime, both of us have become not only older but also wiser.
Exactly.
Have you seen all the shows?
Not yet.
What's wrong with you?
What's wrong with you?
It's different.
It's different.
It's the challenge that you've lost.
It's not so important.
It's in the future.
It's in the future.
But Natsga, have you seen?
Yes.
Someone now has to translate for me.
Yeah, sorry.
I'm just asking if they saw all the shows.
Oh, no, we haven't seen more yet.
You saw Nazca.
That's important.
And you saw Megastorms.
Yes.
Okay.
Vimana here, India.
Some of them.
Okay.
I have some questions to ask you if I could.
And all of this is being recorded with your assumed permission because we'd like to put this out on the internet.
It'd be our pleasure to give you some publicity for your project.
Thank you.
We need publicity for this project now.
But is this now open just for this summer, or is it reopening permanently?
What's the plan here that you have?
In the past, it was wrong to shut the park down, which would never have closed it.
Because such a project is like a big restaurant, you need time, you need at least 4-5 years to have the public outside of Switzerland most such a party.
So is it?
Music is the same for filming.
If you have music, you don't have the music on the band.
Ah, absolutely.
I'll have to wait.
Music is the same for filming.
That's wonderful.
This is great.
So the park is now open in summer for the moment, because in winter it was absolutely not a good business.
Right.
And for the moment we just do it for summer, but then in November we have to decide what to do, to reopen it for the whole year or not.
We need a new innovation, we need new stuff, new material, which means a lot more money.
It's always a question of money.
Oh yeah, sure.
Nothing else without money.
Well, that's right.
Are you trying to reach the children or are you trying to reach the people like us who ask questions or our lives?
Okay, yes, we reach the children.
I mean, for the children part of the park, but for the shows, I rather want the adults, the people who think.
You know, we have a motto here, and the motto is in German on the expression book, Das Staunen wieder lernen.
Mystery Park is not the place where someone dictates and says, I'm having right.
This is the true answer.
Mystery Park is the place which ends always with question marks.
Okay.
When you be careful on your earphone, whatever you see, if it's side attractions or main attractions, it always ends with question marks.
So that's why it's called the Mystery Park and not the park that has all the answers.
If you would give the answers, it's no more mystery.
I understand.
Yes, exactly.
Yes.
But...
For yourself, personally, do you feel, after all these years, that you've got answers?
Of course.
I know very well clearly what happened.
Tell us.
Thousands of years ago, the ETs were here, definitely.
Sure.
And there was an artificial mutation changing in our genes.
So we are partly terrestrials as we are, like evolution, and partly we are extraterrestrials.
And what's happening now, Eric?
Because there's a big change in consciousness happening on the planet right now.
Everyone is aware of it.
You must be aware of it.
What's going on now?
Well, these atheists, when they left us, they promised to return.
And they will return.
Now we have one possible date.
This is Maya date, you know, 2012.
How important do you feel that is?
Not very.
I'm absolutely sure they will return, but you cannot fix the date, not even with the Maya calendar, because the Maya calendar refers to calculate into our calendar.
If this calculation is wrong, if the starting point is wrong, then the end result is wrong too.
And finally, we are not even sure if our own calendar is correct.
We count 2009.
What means 2009 since the birth of Christ?
But if this is wrong, the figure 2009 is wrong too.
Maybe they started 30 years later with the conference.
It's all a mess.
But one thing is definitely sure, they will return.
They promised it.
We have written reference to that.
They will definitely return to it.
And every culture in the past had this expectation of the re-coming of someone, be it the Maya, the Inca, the Egypt, they all were expecting somebody.
Or even the second coming, which is a kind of metaphor.
Yes, exactly.
And today we have the same thing.
I mean, the Christians, they wait for the re-coming of Jesus Christ, and the When you say that they're going to return, you mean they're going to return openly?
Yes.
Because, of course, they're here now.
I'm sure we agree on that.
This will be a shock.
We call it the shock of the gods.
The shock of the gods.
That would be another great title for the book.
I have in Germany a book, the Götterschok.
Oh, right.
It's not this existing title.
The shock of the gods.
But now listen, I think it's much more important.
You go to see every show.
Exactly.
Here.
Now it's 14 hours and what?
It's about 14.30.
Well, at Triergog, we have Orient.
At 3.15, Natska.
15.30, Maya.
Have you seen Maya?
Yes, we've seen Maya.
It's Irish.
Challenge.
I've not seen challenge.
Are you satisfied about everything that you've done in your life?
Because it's a wonderful part.
Not everything.
I'm satisfied about my books.
We have a total edition of about 62 million copies.
In many different languages?
Yeah, in certain languages, which is not back.
So that really means you bring people to think.
I'm moving something.
But of course...
Most of the people on this planet, they don't want to know what we declare, what we say.
And some part of the scientific community is not interested at all.
They call it all, it's all shit, it's all garbage.
But it's easier now than it was when you started.
Definitely, yes.
40 years ago, even 20 years ago, I was just ridiculed all over.
Yes.
In the meantime, the situation has changed.
Maybe it's a respect of my work or my age.
And some of the clever people, they start to realize that I'm probably not so wrong.
Well, I think Graham Hancock has probably learned a very good thing from you.
I know it, yes.
You know him well, because he's taken you further, hasn't he?
Yeah, yeah, of course.
But, once again, this is...
We know each other.
Yes.
We all know each other together.
Yes.
Yeah, take some generation before you change the mind of the people.
What?
Not the quicks.
It's a big team effort, I think.
No, there's another man here, okay.
You have three men along all this.
It's always the women who are more aware.
You understand that?
Yes, I understand.
But things are changing, Eric, and it's a team effort.
One of the reasons why I wanted to meet you was to thank you, as I said, because you were one of the people who really got this ball rolling.
That's true.
Back in the 1960s.
1968, yes.
And because you had a tough time when you started your book, it's made it much easier for other people to follow.
It's like the guys are going to the jungle, first of all.
Of course.
But you know, I had the manuscript of Chariots of the Gods there.
Also, Chariots of the Gods heißt Erinnerung an die Zukunft, die erste Buchdichtung.
The manuscript was finished in 1966 already and I sent it to 20 German publishers and Swiss publishers.
They all rejected it.
They all sent the manuscript back with the usual blah blah blah blah blah.
It's not scientific.
It's not the way we can publish it.
It's not belonging to our program and so.
And finally I was lucky.
I was the manager of a hotel at that time.
First class hotel.
And in my hotel, I had an editor of a big German newspaper.
And he said, hey, I know one of the publishers.
We could phone him.
And he phoned.
So finally, I was lucky to get Chariots of the Gods copies from Germany.
And the book was already published here.
After three weeks, it was number one on every best-selling list.
And then comes the United States, England, and so on.
Yes.
But actually...
It was like the right thing at the right time, wasn't it, in some ways?
I was never calculating the right time.
I have been accused later.
I did it just on purpose on that time, to make money.
It's all garbage.
The manuscript was finished two years ago.
Earlier.
I just couldn't find a publisher.
Sure, sure.
But it's nice to be right, because you must have sold millions of copies of that.
Great, Sweden.
Yes, we have sold millions of copies.
But I made not millions of money.
I mean, sometimes you had an year where you earned 600,000 Swiss francs, which is brilliant, but at the same year you just spent 600,000 Swiss francs for some expeditions and helicopters and jangles and stuff and measurements.
So the money comes in and the money goes on.
Yes, yes.
But we are working scientifically in the kiosk there, you know, in the shop.
There is a leaflet, only in German language.
That's what it means.
Something is wrong in Natska.
It's only in German language.
So we have given order to The technical university in Dresden to make certain measurements in Nazca.
And the result is absolutely crazy.
What do you mean?
Can you explain?
For example, under the lions, we found very strong magnetic fields.
You can measure them.
You know exactly.
It's two and a half meters deep in the ground.
But you have no possibility to dig there.
This is all under terrible control.
If you just take a little stone away, you're under arrest.
Or we find the change of the electric field.
So look, if I put 220 volts in here, and I have a measurement instrument, and I measure it here, so how is the current?
Was it flowing?
So is the electric storm geflossen or not?
And we have made 50 points in the desert, and in the desert, of course, there is no electric flow, because sand is a high isolator, like ceramic, for example.
But on the lines, the flow of the electric currency was 8,000 times higher than just next to you in the desert.
You find all this in this booklet, with the pixtures, with the measure in there.
What's your own theory about the mask lines, Eric?
Because it's a real mystery.
I mean, that is a rule.
Yes, I'm sure there were extraterrestrials.
Not in the sense that they needed an airstrip.
They don't need an airstrip.
Sure.
There was some sort of machine coming down, like a shuttle, and they were looking for raw material.
I don't know what sort of raw material, uranium, copper, or whatever.
They were looking for raw material and they were digging away the raw material.
And the Nativs could not understand what was going on.
The Nativs were afraid.
They were thinking these gods were coming down.
And only after the extraterrestrials left again, so to say when their tank was full, they had some lines on the ground.
And they said, the gods made these lines.
And now the Nativs, they start to produce lines themselves.
So they were imitating the gods.
Imitating the gods.
And finally a priest had a good idea.
They always had a good idea.
He said that we have to show them signs up there.
We have to show them that we are here.
So now in the lines they start with gigantic figures of fishes and monkeys and spiders and birds.
Anyhow, but the main thing is they will return.
Be sure about this.
That's the changing.
And people like you, people like me, maybe people like them, We have a sense for this.
We have a feeling.
Oh, yeah.
We know that something is coming.
Absolutely.
But this is not just imagination.
It's why I'm here this lifetime.
It has to do with our genetic whole, with the information which we have in us.
Sure.
Are you optimistic for the future of the human race?
That's a big question.
Well, that's a big question.
Nobody knows.
Of course we will survive.
The whole humanity will never be destroyed, even if we have some catastrophes and so forth.
Some will survive and then we'll continue the next generation.
So the game is not over yet.
The game is never over.
The game continues over time.
Exactly.
Thank you so much for your time.
Just read my book.
She's ready here.
Falsing for me.
And go to the Natskan.
No one hears my skin.
