Chariots of the Gods by Erich Von Daniken (1969, Book, Illustrated)

The Classic! 1969 or an updated ver of this book is available... Now with a NEW Foreword by the Author in which EvD reflects of what has happened over the past 30 years! 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 had been visited by aliens. This world-famous bestseller has withstood the test of time, inspiring countless books and films. 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 descendants of these galactic pioneers - and the archaeological discoveries that prove it...

* 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. A Classic! Now with a NEW Foreword by the Author!
