  • Ancient Astronaut
rdfs:comment
  • The Ancient Astronauts were a race of alien humanoids that visited Earth in Nazca, Peru. One such astronaut died, and was entombed as a mummy by the human locals. Thousands of years later, an immoral archeologist named Professor Rudolph Karloff uses a special gas to awaken the mummy in what seemed to be an undead state. The Ancient Astronaut is then forced to do his bidding, but once the villain is captured by the Super Friends, the Ancient Astronaut escapes in his spaceship, presumably returning to his homeworld.
  • Ancient Astronaut was the title of a series of books published in the 20th or 21st century, which promoted the theory that extraterrestrials visited Earth during Humanity's pre-history, and contributed to the advancement of the species and its culture. These books were presented as history, but were in actuality fiction. Admiral James T. Kirk initially compared the book Strangers from the Sky to these titles, calling it an "artful fabrication." (TOS novel: Strangers from the Sky)
