Chariots of the Gods
Chariots of the Gods | Erich von Däniken
Erich von Dä niken's "Chariots of the Gods" is a work of monumental importance--the first book to introduce the shocking theory that ancient Earth had been visited by aliens. This world-famous bestseller has withstood the test of time, inspiring countless books and films, including the author's own popular sequel, "The Eyes of the Sphinx." But here is where it all began--von Dä niken's startling theories of our earliest encounters with alien worlds, based upon his lifelong studies of ancient ruins, lost cities, potential spaceports, and a myriad of hard scientific facts that point to extraterrestrial intervention in human history. Most incredible of all, however, is von Dä niken's theory that we ourselves are the descendants of these galactic pioneers--and the archeological discoveries that prove it... * 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‘m all about reading and seeing other perspectives on various subjects. Was God an ancient astronaut? This book did have some really good arguments for this thought process and approaches our history in ways I hadn‘t considered. Am I totally convinced? No but it did make me think.

Reggie Last year for Thanksgiving I gave the prayer and my grandmother gets bothered but she still laughed when I said to the aliens who left us here, can you please come back and save us before we destroy each other. Lol 2y

There are many things in ancient history that can't be properly explained by mainstream archaeology, and the book shines light on a few.

This interesting concept of aliens on earth is very thought provoking.

I've read so many similar books so there wasn't much in here that I've not read about before.

If you watch Ancient Aliens a lot of the information comes from this book.

Here I will note 365 books (or as many as I will have before I get tired) that have shaped my taste in literature. No explanations, no reviews. Just the cover of the book.
I do not challenge anyone. You are all welcome to take part.

A mashup #bookpyramid scheme!

Erich Von Däniken, pseudoscientist and ancient alien expert, claims extraterrestrials built the pyramids. Carl Sagan wrote, "I know of no recent books so riddled with logical and factual errors as the works of von Däniken."

"You know the way everybody's into weirdness right now. Books in all the supermarkets about Bermuda triangles, UFO's, how the Mayans invented television." - Repo Man (1984)
