Its interesting.. Diggers have found decomposed "electric batterys" from thousands of years ago... How did these batterys get there?!?
Diggers? You mean archaeologists? No electric batteries of "thousands of years ago" have been discovered. There was an artifact discovered that, when experimental archaeology was applied, produced a very weak electric current. This artifact was most likely used for the process of electroplating gold to other metals or for some "magical" purpose.
I put "magical" in quotes on purpose, but, because of some of the more gullible types that lurk the pseudoscience forum of a science board, I still feel the need to digress further: "magical" in anthropological/archaeological terms doesn't mean that actual magic was employed, but rather magical thinking.
Regardless, the so-called Baghdad Battery is nothing to woo over. It has very straightforward, less-complex answers than time travel.

Time travel is quite possible.. All that is necessary is a machine that which can move at the speed of light.... or the discovery of a wormhole...
Time travel occurs every day. Only from this point to the next
forward one. Time travel to the past is quite impossible, even if one uses the "parallel universe/multiverse" excuse. In that case, one does not go
backward in time, one merely switches to another, parallel (but slightly behind) universe.

Read some
non-fiction. Chariots of the
Gods is complete and utter bunk, most of which was directly stolen from HP Lovecraft, specifically his 1926 short story "The Call of Cthulhu." If you want to read fiction, I recomend this one... by the way, all but one of von Daniken's claims are represented in this story, written a bit earlier than "Chariots of the Gods."

It is shown in ancient civilizations that individuals in that period were "Elongating the heads of childern" they were putting boards and such during a infants development when they have soft tissue in the skull.. This was creating babies with elongated heads... Similar to the visitors they have seen?
You're suggesting that a culture 4000 years ago began the practice of head-binding (it was thought to have originated in Ecuador at about that time) in order to emulate aliens? Talk about speculation. If they were willing to go to such lengths to please these alleged ETs, then why not leave behind other, more convincing artifacts. I'm sorry, but there are plenty of other more plausible and less complex explanations in the archaological record that suggest that such body modifications were cosmetic and class motivated. The whole speculation would be akin to a futuristic archaeologist saying that evidence of purple, spiked hair and nose rings were to emulate aliens who looked that way naturally.

What's interesting is what people find believable, I'm afraid.
