Chariots of the Gods: 50th Anniversary Edition

AS SEEN ON ANCIENT ALIENS - Now in a beautiful 50th anniversary edition with a new foreword and afterword by the author, this is the groundbreaking classic that introduced the theory that ancient Earth established contact with aliens. Immediately recognized as a work of monumental importance, Chariots of the Gods endures as proof that Earth has been visited repeatedly by advanced aliens from other worlds. Here, Erich von D niken examines ancient ruins, lost cities, spaceports, ufos, and a myriad of hard scientific facts that point to extraterrestrial intervention in human history. Most incredible of all, however, is von D niken's theory that we are the descendants of these galactic pioneers--and he reveals the archaeological discoveries that prove it... The dramatic discoveries and irrefutable evidence: - 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.
