Erich von Daniken has taken alot of criticism in the past over his theories of extraterestrial influence upon the development of human civilisation. Despite all this he is still a best selling author, and although his theories often go against the grain, he does argue his hypothesis in a coherent and logical manner! That is what this book achieves, and by placing his main arguments into fabricated scenarios, he makes sure that what he is trying to convey is well understood!!!!!

Although I do not believe in his theories, i did enjoy reading this book, and came away from it thinking "It may be possible...."

A definite must for anyone of the extraterestrial influence persuasion, and for anyone not, a good entertaining read

If you want to know the truth behind God and other religious figures, then read this book. This well thought out book tells about the possible connection between Extraterrestrials and Religion. To fully understand the point of this book, you must know a fair amount about religion and ancient history. You must also be open minded about life in the Universe besides Earth. Daniken obviously studied tremendously on religion, the Bible and ancient history to come up with this book. He tells of what may really happened in the Ascension when Lucifer was exiled from Heaven to Earth where Lucifer and his followers mated with Earth females. It also includes theories about the Ancient Sacred textbook of India, the Rig Veda. In the Rig Veda he discovered that the book tells of three cities in Space where the Hindu Gods may have came from. The point of this amazing book is that possibly all of Earth's religion was created when Extraterrestrials visited Earth during the Ancient times to teach humans who thought the E.T.'s were superior. I highly recommend this book if you are interrested in Aliens, UFO's, the second coming, ancient civilizations, and religion. This book is easy to comprehend and is a must read!!! ---Mike L.---

I must admit, I have an open mind...yes, it's true. I had not thought about some of the points that Erich von Daniken put down in writing. It IS far fetched...but he does give you an excellent insight into added ways to look at things. How would you explain an aeroplane to a child that had never seen metal or plastic?? (maybe I would draw a picture, but what the heck...maybe there were no pencils)
I found this to simply add some more depth to my own thoughts about Life out there...besides ours. I think I will stick to watching Discovery, but it was definatly an entertaining read...Now I can spend hours debating with my buddy about the "what ifs" of all of us being decendents or hybrids from space!!

A really great book on human history and perhaps the origins of humankind and religion. This book should be in any gnostic's library. However Mr. Erich leaves so many questions unanswered, and even raises more questions than answers in some cases. Is he perhaps as "fanatic" as his religious "adverseries"? Surely some of the cross breeds he refers to would have left some physical traces behind...bones??? Perhaps the truth is somewhere between Erich's theories and those of religion...maybe a mixture of both... Nevertheless, read it, it will open your mind and it is undoubtely a masterpiece.

Just keep an open mind and have fun learning some different views. He goes into so many different things from contradictions in the Bible, Enoch, Angels, how in the past ancient civilization was helped by aliens. This a great book to read.

It's a pity that Von Daniken is such a bitter man. I purchased this book with the hope of learning about this topic; Unfortunately, I came away from it feeling like all I had learned was that VOn Daniken doesn't like scientists. It's really too bad. The subject matter is fabulous, but it's poorly argued. Instead of arranging his thoughts in a clear manner, it seems Von Daniken decided to write a stream of consciousness piece. It almost seems like he's trying to squeeze more money out of his old ideas. Avoid this book. You'll thank me later.

Erich Von Daniken truely sees through the text written a millinea or more ago.The discrepacies he points out are over whelming.According to the gosples, Mark states Jesus was born in Nazareth and Matthew & Luke proclaim Bethlehem! One must take these texts with a bag of salt! How much truth, these ancient texts contain, can only be determined by your own faith. Fossil records have missing links that have no ancestral partner for modern man. Are the Darwinists no better reporters of his theory, than the text writers of ancient times? What or who designed the the molecules of which we are made? Bio-chemistry cannot explain how a pool of primordial fluid created creatures, so compelex, that they must be designed. Daniken has opened the door for scientists to report their finds on this matter with the truth. Until scientist and goverment come clean to the masses of what they know, we are still in the dark.
