About this ebook

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.

Ratings and reviews

Eric von deniken you work is fabulous you have a great vision but their is a huge mistake you have done that is you lost your whole young energy in half truth. You just need to read srimad bagwatom the carversation of king parikshit and guru sukdev goswami before you write your all books.

ever since I have discovered the possibility of ancient aliens then looked at everything the bible says with an open mind plus with what we know today I'm beginning to become a believer along with the facts there are more in your face artifacts that you can see and touch, then anything in the bible.

It literally forces us to open our eyes n minds to things n events which we just disregarded..our past n present holds the key to our future sustenance..its time we as humankind wake up above our petty differences n look ahead. Technology is the way to go...
