Role in the map
Von Däniken appears as a guide to rereading ancient religion and monuments through the possibility of extraterrestrial contact. His role is intellectual rather than supernatural: he helped popularize a lens the poster uses repeatedly. Inclusion of his name identifies an influence and reading route, not confirmation that his interpretations are accepted archaeological conclusions.
A contextual role, without a separately established esoteric meaning.
