Product Description
Erich von Daniken'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, including the author's own popular sequel, The Eyes of the Sphinx. But here is where it all began--von Daniken'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 Daniken's theory that we ourselves are the descendants of these galactic pioneers--and the archeological 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 discovered in the Andes
Includes remarkable photos that document mankind's first contact with aliens at the dawn of civilization.

 Book July 21, 2010

I agree to an earlier review stating that the author leaps subject to subject. Even annoying at times. On upside of things i simply enjoy the ideas that he dredges up and the theories he propses. The author makes no attempts to over embellish his theories (no more than the scholars that Preach what so many of us have taken as granted for being facts since as early as elementary school). The Ideas are eye opening and at the very least, highly entertaining. For I to take the time to write a review for a book i read on Amazon, I know it's worth the read.

I got this book after watching a special on Ancient Aliens. I read the book and it is very good. It gives you questions to ask yourself and doesn't try hard to make you believe in the Ancient Astronaut Theory it just makes you think a little harder about our history

This book horrifies me. There is not one single shred of proof anywhere in it. All the conclusions he reaches are based on either an overactive imagination accompanied by psychosis or downright fraud. Instead of researching his findings he simply makes judgments on the fly that have no basis in reality. I couldn't even find this book entertaining as to how poorly it was written, how fervently he states is "facts", and the absolute lack of scientific integrity. If you really want to read it get it from a library don't waste money on it.
Don't take it seriously and you will have good time reading June 25, 2010

My title says it all. It's a very good book but if you are looking for answers, you will be disappointed.
Very Interesting June 25, 2010

Book is a little hard to read, something gets lost in translation. That aside the book points out many very interesting puzzles. I'm not 100% convinced that Aliens are our gods but I'm defiantly convinced that our ancients, as it's put, had knowledge that we do not. The later books are much better reads at the theory is more developed.
