Bestselling author Erich von Däniken tackles the evidence of ancient visitors being treated as gods through religious scripture, mythology, and physical evidence from around the world. Why do nearly all the world's major religions share such similar myths and legends? Whether it's the Old Testament, ancient legends or the creation myths of New Zealand's natives-you come across similar stories everywhere. Erich Von Däniken, author of the international bestseller Chariots of the Gods, believes he knows-and the answer is as wondrous and awe-inspiring as it is controversial: the winged angels populating the Bible, Koran, and other religious texts from cultures the world over were in reality extraterrestrials who visited the Earth in ages long past. Who were the gods of the ancient lore really? How can the contradictions in the Bible be explained? What is the miracle in Fátima, Portugal, really about? Why are the pagodas of Myanmar (formerly Burma) so amazingly similar to space-capable rockets? Erich von Däniken provides convincing new, surprising interpretations and answers that fundamentally contradict both the teachings of religion and current science. His astonishing conclusion: the gods were not metaphysical beings that humans created in their imagination, but extraterrestrial intelligences that have left their traces all over the earth. Offering persuasive evidence that actual living beings inspired the legends that became the basis for many of our religious traditions. Intellectually challenging and provocative, these findings shake the foundations of both science and faith.

The bestselling author of “Chariots of the Gods”, Erich von Däniken, examines the great traditions of mankind, thousands of years old, for signs, traces, messages that point to early contact with extraterrestrial intelligences. The Gods were here. But when will the return? Or have they ever really left? The culmination of long-term research, “Enoch and the Return of the Gods” argues that we are very much in the minds and eyes of other cosmic life forms and that, as a result, many of the dramatic historical events and remarkable teachings of religious texts should be reinterpreted. Erich von Däniken examines the great traditions of mankind, thousands of years old, for signs, traces, messages that point to early contact with extraterrestrial intelligences. The texts of the Bible are at the center of his text-critical interpretations, which pick apart the sense and nonsense of religious views. He also draws on ancient Jewish sagas and legends, reports from early historians, and Indian, Babylonian, and Persian traditions. As always, von Däniken finds support for such questions as: • Did Adam and Eve witness a UFO? • Who was Enoch and did he speak the language of extraterrestrials? • What will Judgement Day truly be? • Why did extraterrestrials tinker with humanity's DNA? The gods were here, and it is clear their influence remains to this day.

Bestselling author and iconoclast, Erich von Daniken, opens his photo archive with a full color exploration of ancient places.We live in an age of information. But there are things in our prehistory "about which we do not have the faintest idea," writes best-selling author Erich von Däniken in his gripping book, Remnants of the Gods. Stone structures erected by master builders, mysterious underground complexes, geometrically aligned stone circles, the breathtaking pyramids of Egypt--who built them? And, perhaps more importantly, where did these builders obtain such incredible knowledge?Erich von Däniken shows in detail how whole countries were surveyed thousands of years ago. Hundreds of Stone Age holy places are located at equal distances from one another, forming giant squares and triangles.How was all of this possible? Classic archaeology provides no answers to these questions. Worse still, it doesn't even appear to be interested. Are we all threatening to become "camp followers of disinterest," as Erich asks?Featuring more than 160 color photos and illustrations, Erich reveals the secrets of "impossible buildings" in Europe and the Mediterranean region, describes "crazy facts," and relentlessly exposes false doctrines.Remnants of the Gods will make even strident skeptics reconsider what they think they know of the past.

Erich von Däniken's monumental Chariots of the Gods changed the way generations have looked at mythology, ancient history, and the possibility of advanced beings from other worlds visiting Earth. Now he tackles the history of Greece and again challenges our beliefs about how our civilization arose.Using painstaking archaeological research and evidence from the writings of Plato and Aristotle, he suggests that the Greek "myths" were, in fact, very much a reality, that the Greek "gods" were actually extraterrestrial beings who arrived on Earth many thousands of years ago.Many of you may find von Däniken's conclusions astounding, but they are argued with such vigor and clarity that you'll be forced to consider the implications of his findings for mankind.Odyssey of the Gods includes new, eye-opening information about:A revolutionary interpretation of the sites and legends of ancient GreeceThe conflict between "alien" gods and humansThe true origin of centaurs, the Cyclops, and other "mythical" creaturesA startling new explanation of the Atlantis legend

Ancient humans had the natural urge to document the world in which they lived, a fact that is evident in the cave paintings and carvings that still exist today. Why do rock paintings from various sites around the world all seem to depict the same things? Did the peoples of the prehistoric world have contact with each another? Is it possible that some were transported to far-flung locations in what our ancestors could only have described as "flying chariots"?Erich von Däniken, one of the best-selling authors of all time and regarded by many as the father of the ancient alien theory, continues his mission to uncover Earth's ancient past-this time with more than 150 extraordinary full-color photographs-in Evidence of the Gods.This extensively illustrated book features never-before-seen photographs from his unique archive, compiled throughout decades of searching around the world for traces of the cosmic gods whom he believes came to Earth thousands of years ago. Evidence of the Gods offers the best and most impressive evidence to date, along with concise explanations for the images, to bolster the case that von Däniken has already been making quite convincingly for years.Evidence of the Gods is his most convincing-and thoroughly entertaining-work yet.Did extraterrestrial visitors really leave their unmistakable traces on our planet thousands of years ago?The images will speak for themselves.
