At an early age von D äniken was fascinated by "inconsistencies" between religious doctrine and the accounts of mysterious events in the Bible. Born in Zofingen, Switzerland, April 14, 1935, he was brought up in a conservative Roman Catholic setting at St.
However, the book is hard to read and not convincing.Swiss writer whose 1969 book, Chariots of the Gods, gave focus to a wave of popular interest in the idea that in ancient times the earth was visited by extraterrestrials whose presence is documented in a variety of archeological remains. It's a provocative theory to think about, and the commonality between various ancient cultures and their stories was beneficial knowledge. Second, some of the most compelling evidence was later discredited, yet even with the author's own admission, he recognizes the discredited points only outside the book, even in later revisions. Even when stated neutrally, the solidity of the evidence isn't consistent, which degrades the overall credibility. The evidence is interspersed with rants about what should be done next. The open-minded reader gets intrigued when they see the many patterns this author points out. Aliens' technology would make them seem god-like, and their interactions with mankind would prompt human myths of gods, demigods and giants. Space visitors would likely have rockets and robots that our ancients would have described in our oldest texts. The concept itself has multiple supporting hypotheses once you start exploring it. The wonders of the world and humans' technical progress since then derived not from man himself, but from aliens who sparked and cultivated our development? Von Daniken's theory is intriguing, as millions of readers have reacted over the past forty years. Includes remarkable photos that document mankind's first contact with aliens at the dawn of civilization. A giant spaceport discovered in the Andes.A map of the land beneath the ice cap of Antarctica.Computer astronomy from Incan and Egyptian ruins.Thousand-year-old spaceflight navigation charts.
An alien astronaut preserved in a pyramid.The dramatic discoveries and irrefutable evidence: Most incredible of all, however, is von Däniken's theory that we are the descendants of these galactic pioneers-and he reveals the archaeological discoveries that prove it. Here, Erich von Däniken examines ancient ruins, lost cities, spaceports, ufos, and a myriad of hard scientific facts that point to extraterrestrial intervention in human history.
Immediately recognized as a work of monumental importance, Chariots of the Gods endures as proof that Earth has been visited repeatedly by advanced aliens from other worlds.
