Synopsis

Erich von Däniken's Chariots of the Gods is a work of monumental importance—the first book to introduce the shocking theory that ancient Earth was 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 Eye of the Sphinx. But here is where it all began—von Däniken'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 Däniken's theory that we ourselves are the descendents of these galactic pioneers—and the archaeological 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 preserved in the Andes

Goodreads review by Anne on December 09, 2024

A must read for everyone! Ok. Not really. But Ihave always wondered about the book that spawned such a huge cult following. I mean, how do you get so many people to take things like this seriously? And then I remember what kind of people populate the earth, and it all becomes a little clearer. Full di......more

Goodreads review by Riku on December 13, 2012

Däniken must have won some mighty awards for this one, right? Right? I have to admit that it was seriously entertaining though, mostly in imagining who it was who played the practical joke on Däniken each time he sticks his neck out on an imagined 'fact'. Just to sum up the book: how can anyone imagi......more

brilliant psychedelic wonderous book. even if you dont believe a word of it. if you enjoy it there is a book called 'the spaceships of ezekiel', by j.f. blumrich (a NASA engineer), in response to daniken.

Goodreads review by Jon on March 05, 2025

When I was young I was convinced that aliens had visited us on many occasions. I have changed the way I think about the facts now, but this book was one of the first books I ever read that made me consider an alternate narrative to mainstream thought...and for that it will always have a special plac......more
