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.

Sensical interpretation of Data

By classypotatohead
The book provides a rudimentary approach of archeological data to determine possible alternative explanations for ancient monuments and a reinterpretation of history through the lens of a skeptic individual with a particular bias towards extraterrestrial life.

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.

At last, the Bible makes sense.

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.
