Wow, this book is the typical nonsense that scientists like to pull. The main argument in this book is that "von Daniken is wrong" as this book is about trying to disprove Erich von Daniken's famous theory that ancient gods were really extraterrestrials but were thought to be gods by primitive humans who didn't know any better.

Why is this book not worth the paper it was made from? Here are some examples.

The author's main argument for this book is "von Daniken is wrong." He will list things that von Daniken seems to have gotten wrong yet he forgets that von Daniken has actually been to Palenque, to Egypt, Tula, etc. Wilson, who attempts to debunk von Daniken, has silly arguments against him. For one I think Clifford might be a Christian and is offended by von Daniken because, in one part, says something on the lines of "von Daniken says some things of Jesus that are absolutely blasphemous and should not be talked about."

In another part of the book Clifford has a partially drawn picture of Lord Pakal's sarcophagus lid that supposedly houses a picture of the great ruler flying a space rocket ([...]) but Clifford doesn't even draw the whole damn picture! He leaves out the spaceships chassis and then asks the reader "so why is he hanging out of the cabin of the ship?" and bundles up a few other pieces, makes the engine of the ship look much smaller, and makes the fire at the back of the ship so small that you would miss it even on a double-take.

What really [...] me off is that when it comes time for von Daniken's rebuttle in the chapter "von Daniken's Rebuttle" he doesn't even give the man a chance to speak. He will give him a sentence then spend the rest of the page telling you how silly it is to believe in extraterrestrials.

What scientists love saying about Erich von Daniken is that he never has any real evidence for his theories. Once again we are being fed BS by people who have never been to Palenque, Puma Punku, Mexico, Egypt, etc. Scientists, for example, who have taking modern day equipment to places like Puma Punku shrug their shoulders and say that there is no way we could ever do today what they were doing then; yet scientists who have never been there have a different story. Who shoulder you believe, stay-at-home scientists or the ones in the fields with their readings, measurements, and technology? In his books von Daniken clearly shows you with mathematics that things could not have been done without extraterrestrial help, and this has been proven over and over again. Heck, even simple tools that have been used in ancient times cannot be recreated without our technology. We have tool makers, architects, scientists, etc. that have taken ancient Egyptian tools back to their labs and come back defeated, unable to replicate how it was made. We have math, we have eye-witness accounts (ancient texts), we have sculptures, we have depictions of ufo's in ancient reliefs, we have these giant structures like the pyramids all around the world that supposed one-step-out-of-the-stone-age people are supposed to have just been able to suddenly build for no apparent reason. Were we visited in ancient times by extraterrestrials? Absolutely. Do extraterrestrials visit the Earth today? Absolutely. Is "War of the Chariots" by Clifford Wilson just a weak attempt by a closed-mined scientist to debunk something he doesn't understand? Absolutely.
