Giorgio A. Tsoukalos is an ancient astronaut theorist, television personality/producer, and writer/publisher. He was born on 14th March 1978. Born in Lucerne, Switzerland, Tsoukalos is Swiss by nationality. He is, however, of mixed ethnicity comprising Greek and Austrian origins; while his dad is from Greece, his mum is from Austria. He is also multilingual, speaking fluent English, Italian, Greek, French, and German. Giorgio is apparently an atheist.
Tsoukalos left Switzerland for the United States in the early 1990s. He later earned a Bachelor’s Degree in Sports Information and Communication from the Ithaca College, New York in 1998. On completing his education, Giorgio started working as a sports promoter, mainly bodybuilding. He also volunteered as a publicist for IFBB authorized bodybuilding competitions such as Mr. Olympia. From 2001 to 2005, he worked as the producer and director of San Francisco’s annual biking contest Pro Grand Prix.
Ancient Aliens
After spending some years working as a sports promoter and producer, Giorgio A. Tsoukalos came across the theory on ancient aliens and ancient astronauts. The issue caught his fancy and he desired to know more. He, therefore, subjected himself to the tutelage of Swiss Ancient Alien Astronaut theorist and writer, Erich von Däniken.
Having acquired substantial knowledge on the subject, Giorgio A. Tsoukalos co-founded now-defunct magazine, The Legendary Times in 2008. The journal which has now gone online covers topics on ancient astronauts and other related matters, mostly lending credence to ideas of other astronauts-alien proponents including von Däniken, Hatcher Childress, Robert Bauval, among others. Giorgio also became the director of Daniken’s Center for Ancient Astronaut Research. He as well started making appearances on several television series on related subjects including Mysterious Journeys (2007), UFO Hunters (2009), and Race To Witch Mountain (2009).
Giorgio A. Tsoukalos however, only came to widespread public notice after he started appearing on Ancient Aliens in 2010. Giorgio has been both an actor and consulting producer on the documentary series. While Ancient Aliens was still airing, Giorgio hosted the short-lived 2014 H2 television series, In Search of Aliens. In August 2016, he appeared in the History Con Events at the World Trade Center Metro Manila in the Philippines.
Tsoukalous has traveled widely in the course of his alien research and exploration career. He has so far visited up to 40 countries of the world in search of historical spots and items that lend credence to his alien beliefs. As of July 26, 2019, Ancient Aliens is in its 14th (and probably last) season, with Giorgio having contributed to the production of twenty-three episodes of the series.
