Chariots of the Gods?

Across the globe, there are remarkable ruins and artifacts that challenge conventional history, archaeology, and religion. In a groundbreaking exploration, Erich von Daniken seeks to answer compelling questions: Why do religious texts mention Gods descending from fiery chariots? What parallels can be drawn between modern space launch sites and the constructions on Peru's Nazca plains? Was God an astronaut? By examining human history and ancient civilizations with an open mind, von Daniken presents a fresh perspective on these enduring mysteries. He questions why sacred texts describe deities arriving from the sky and promising to return, and he highlights ancient Sanskrit accounts that seem to depict journeys in alien crafts. To grasp the enigmas he presents, we must revisit these ancient relics with curiosity and incorporate insights from various scientific fields beyond archaeology. This work serves as a provocative attempt to unravel some of the universe's most intriguing mysteries. Over his lifetime, von Daniken has amassed evidence suggesting that our ancestors were visited by extraterrestrial beings long before recorded history. Despite skepticism from orthodox historians, his ideas have captivated a vast audience, leading to the sale of over 60 million copies of his 26 books in more than 40 languages.
