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.

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".

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.

Van Däniken seems to see Ancient Astronauts in every piece of ancient design? No real artifacts have ever been found to prove this kind of theory.
If the crystal sculls of the current Indy movie were true,
this Ecuador set of tunnels/ mines or caves would be the logical place?
Yet since 1972 there has been no real proof that any of this story has a real basis in fact. There has been a scandal in New World archaeology over
suppression of data about pre-Clovis sites, so one can conclude that maybe that is true in other areas of the field as well.
Archaeologists don't appear to be open minded or scientific in many cases about data collection or sources.
But Van Däniken's many theories and speculations appear to be just tissue...
