Chariots of the Gods: 50th Anniversary Edition

Product Information

Erich von Daniken was responsible for popularising the ancient astronaut hypothesis of human development. which Leonard Nimoy hosted (Serling having died in 1975), was premiered on the basis of those two "pilot" films. was on The New York Times bestseller list and helped to launch von Däniken's career as a public speaker. To look at the mysteries of our own past with closed minds is a mistake and the questions raised in this book (a book written for the sole purpose of raising the questions, not offering proof of their concrete veracity) is a mistake, and it is irresponsible.

Von Daeniken is almost impressive in how he's able to have his ideas totally collapse even just by looking at the 'facts' that he himself presents in the same paragraph as his ideas. Includes remarkable photos that document mankind's first contact with aliens at the dawn of civilization. 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. Von Däniken maintains that these artifacts were produced either by extraterrestrial visitors or by humans who learned the necessary knowledge from extraterrestrials. Myths should be examined not from the point of view of art, but from the point of view of science, and from the point of view of space.

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.

Nobody is hiding anything, it is all there for you to access, the misunderstandings are relative to historical interpretation.It is the equivalent of skimming through a text book that, for instance, says that a particular event in history happened one way while there are many other books that say the event happened differently with each book stating its own either biased or credible theories, while walking away and claiming that you know everything that happened based upon one book and your own opinions.

There are some popular books that will disappoint you when you read them for the first time due to your expectations, but you will be totally impressed by them and the author's writing skills when you reread them after a few years.The book also suggests that ancient artwork throughout the world can be interpreted as depicting astronauts, air and space vehicles, extraterrestrials, and complex technology. Von Daniken's ideas have been the inspiration for a wide range of TV series, including the History Channel's hit Ancient Aliens.

An unmarked copy-Reprinted 1970-" Erich von Daniken'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. I'm a fan of the first season of Ancient Aliens and I wanted to read this book because it seems to be the one that started it all. In reality, "mathematicians" means Dionysius Lardner, an astronomer, who did indeed believe that travelling at a sufficiently "high speed" would result in asphyxiation - but the 21 mph is a random figure plucked out of the air by von Daeniken to make himself look more informed. Every detail of early history and prehistory, and an array of physical artifacts, are interpreted in light of this claim, and these interpretations are then advanced as "evidence" for it. His works have been translated into more than thirty languages and have sold more than sixty-seven million copies.I think for us to stand here on one infinitely insignificant world among countless billions (or trillions) in the "known" universe and state "we are it and we are the best" is ridiculous beyond my ability to put into words. But the Egyptians could scarcely have felled and turned into rollers the few trees, mainly palms, that then (as now) grew in Egypt, because the dates from the palms were urgently needed for food and the trunks and fronds were the only things giving shade to the dried-up ground.
