Description

AS SEEN ON ANCIENT ALIENS • Now in a beautiful 50th anniversary edition with a new foreword and afterword by the author, this is the groundbreaking classic that introduced the theory that ancient Earth established contact with aliens.

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. 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. 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...

The dramatic discoveries and irrefutable evidence:

• An alien astronaut preserved in a pyramid
• Thousand-year-old spaceflight navigation charts
• Computer astronomy from Incan and Egyptian ruins
• A map of the land beneath the ice cap of Antarctica
• A giant spaceport discovered in the Andes

Includes remarkable photos that document mankind's first contact with aliens at the dawn of civilization.

    I have to admit, I got this book because of the show ‘Ancient Aliens’ from the History Channel! After I read through this book, I couldn’t help but love it! This book questions everything you’ve known about history. Critical thinking is a must & an open mind! Enjoy!

    Listen to the Archy Fantasy podcast and then come back to this. Your outlook will change along with having gained some critical thinking skills & appreciation for evidence based peer reviewed science. As an aside, the concept of “ancient aliens” was conceived by Europeans who couldn’t fathom the thought brought forth by scientific evidence that brown skinned folks in Egypt & Mesopotamia etc. could not only build such great civilizations, but also much earlier than their own that birthed the cradle of civilization.

    In a text message to a few of my Christian friends, I retyped Ezekiel's description of the visit from "God," as if I'd seen it myself, asking them all, "What do you think it was that I saw?" They all responded, "Aliens?" All were shocked when I responded that it's Ezekiel's description of a visit from God. Until this book, I thought the Holy Bible relatively useless, ridiculous really. But, now, I find the Bible most interesting, and worthy of a place on my book shelf.

    A must read for anyone searching for a more complete understanding of our human history. This should provide some food for critical thought, for any searching for answers, or simply better questions, about human origin on this planet.

  • Thought provoking

    I honestly do NOT like reading books, but when it comes to Ancient Aliens, and Erich Von Däniken... then reading this book is a must for me :). It basically does cover pretty much what they say on Ancient Aliens, but of course the book goes more into detail about Von Dänikens theories and thoughts and etc. when you think about it, almost everything Von däniken points out is TRUE! The reason why the scientists now a days don't take Von däniken's theories into consideration is because they don't see "enough" or "legit" facts , but are they crazy!!! Why would all the major religions or cultures around the world make up all of those "myths" about the ancient gods and etc. I mean they had something better to do than sit there and worship "mythological gods" . But then again I can't do anything about all these narrow minded people now a days, but to hope that they'll realize that everything is not the way it was told to us. Anyways, so I def recommend this book, but to open minded people ONLY :). Thank you Erich Von D. ❤❤❤❤
