About the author

Erich von Daniken is arguably the most widely read and most-copied nonfiction author in the world. He published his first (and best-known) book, Chariots of the Gods, in 1968. The worldwide best seller was followed by 40 more books, including the recent best sellers Twilight of the Gods, History is Wrong, Evidence of the Gods, Remnants of the Gods, and Odyssey of the Gods (all published by New Page Books).
His works have been translated into 28 languages and have sold more than 65 million copies. Several have also been made into films. Von Danikens ideas have been the inspiration for a wide range of television series, including the History Channel’s hit Ancient Aliens. His research organization, the AASRA/legendarytimes.com, comprises laymen and academics from all walks of life. Internationally, there are about 10,000 members. He lives in Switzerland but is an ever-present figure on the international lecture circuit, traveling more than 100,000 miles a year.

A very well thought out view and very enjoyable read.
Every religion, major or minor, documents clearly, for those who want to read them, the arrival of astronauts, descriptions of their machines and weapons, sometimes in technical detail.
One often hears the bible and other works misquoted, or quoted to back up a statement or theory, so I took the trouble to reread the passages referred to, not because I disbelieved Von Daniken, but to confirm the exactitude of what he was saying. The result was a resounding confirmation. Everything you need to know is there, hidden in plain sight, from the old scriptures and writings to Hollywood's renditions. Nobody is hiding anything, it is all there for you to access, the misunderstandings are relative to historical interpretation. Before space travel was achieved by man, the evidence was considered to be 'visions' or the workings of an overactive imagination, then when man finally started his tentative steps into space, Aliens from another planet were considered impossible because we didn't then know how to travel at the speed of light, now we know this can be achieved, the real experts have had to allow that there 'may' have been such visits.
Religious works written by stone age man have gradually been adapted to suit the political climate of the time and finally lapsed into total misunderstanding as the events receded into history and could no longer be understood in the light of the technical ability and understanding of the day.
Read Von Daniken for yourself, cross check it in the books of whatever religion you are most familiar with, it is all there.
I have acquired all Von Daniken's books over the years, lent them out to 'friends' who didn't return them and eventually I forgot to whom I had lent them, so 40 years on I found them on Audio Book, allowing me to use dead traveling time to refamiliarise myself with these works and also listen to his two latest renditions I had not in my collection and was once again excited by the truth.
For any US readers, this is written in English, there are no spelling mistakes.
I’d recommend anyone with an interest in UAP/UFOLOGY to read this book.
