5.0 out of 5 stars Another Von Daniken Trip into the Mysterious, April 5, 2003

By 

Ann Brown (Tahlequah, OK United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Gold Of The Gods (Hardcover)

In this book, Erich Von Daniken talks a lot about a mysterious cave where ancient carved gold artifacts were found. Pictures of them are found in the book, some of which are very thought-provoking. This book has gold, it has caves, it has ancient mysteries, most of all its by Von Daniken, so you know your mind will be forever challenged.

By A Customer

This review is from: The Gold Of The Gods (Hardcover)

this book unveils new evidence of an intergalactic "battle of the gods" whose losers retreated to & settled,earth. it explores a vast mysterious underworld of ecuador - caves filled with gold and writings in solid gold that go back in time to the great flood to bolster von daniken's theory of a prehistoric earthly "era of the gods".

3.0 out of 5 stars Nice collection of mysteries, poor analysis, December 13, 2001

By 

JimmyCrackCornIDontCare (the pacific northwest) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Gold Of The Gods (Hardcover)

The Gold of the Gods talks about, among other things, underground tunnels in Ecuador, the lost city of Nan Madol, and the Chinese creation story of Pan Ku.

The author claims that space aliens were involved. But there is no real evidence supporting his theory, unless you except myths as fact. Overall this book stinks.
