Bøker av Erich (Erich von Daniken) von Daniken

"War of the Gods examines ancient scriptures from India, Siberia, Tahiti, and many other regions of the world independently on reports of battles in the stars. Weapons of unimaginable destructive power were used in the battle. Use of one of these weapons destroyed a planet completely. Traditions from all over the world depict the gruesome effects of the battle in space. Many ancient stories speak of it raining fire from the sky for years. The people of the time tried to protect themselves from this, and thus created more testimonies that prove the star war and contact with beings from other planets. With impressive examples von Dèaniken illustrates some of the numerous cities that were dug underground as safe harbors from the destructive boulders. Miles and miles of underground passageways have been discovered around the world as they made space for villages and entire cities. To end the book, von Dèaniken presents his newest discoveries of an event that can only be described as shocking: In 2017, the author was informed that strange mummified creatures were found near the Peruvian village of Nazca. They lived several thousand years, had three fingers and three toes, and had exceptionally long heads. One of the mummies, apparently several thousand years ago, had been implanted with a metal plate under the skin. Scientists agree: These creatures are not from Earth!"-- Publisher.

·Lavishly illustrated, in full colour, from the unique and personal archive of Erich von Daniken, author of Chariots of the Gods and History is Wrong·Impressive visual evidence of ''Cosmic Gods'' from prehistoric times along with concise explanations for the images.Ancient humans had the natural urge to document the world in which they lived, a fact that is evident in the cave paintings and carvings that still exist today. Why do rock paintings from various sites around the world all seem to depict the same things? Did the peoples of the prehistoric world have contact with each another? Is it possible that some were transported to far-flung locations in what our ancestors could only have described as "flying chariots"? Erich von Däniken, one of the best-selling authors of all time and regarded by many as the father of the ancient alien theory, continues his mission to uncover Earth''s ancient past - this time with extraordinary full-colour photographs - in EVIDENCE OF THE GODS. This extensively illustrated book features never-before-seen photographs from his unique archive, compiled throughout decades of searching around the world for traces of the cosmic gods whom he believes came to Earth thousands of years ago. EVIDENCE OF THE GODS offers the best and most impressive evidence to date, along with concise explanations for the images, to bolster the case that von Däniken has already been making quite convincingly for years. EVIDENCE OF THE GODS is his most convincing - and thoroughly entertaining - work yet. Did extraterrestrial visitors really leave their unmistakable traces on our planet thousands of years ago? The images will speak for themselves."Erich boldly made us think about what no one else dared to even speak of. He continues to challenge our understanding of history."-Philip Coppens, author of The Ancient Alien Question

This translation originally published in 1973.

The author tackles the history of Greece and again challenges beliefs about how civilization arose. Using painstaking archaeological research and evidence from the writings of Plato and Aristotle, he suggests that the Greek myths were, in fact, very much a reality, and that the Greek gods were actually extraterrestrial beings who arrived on Earth many thousands of years ago. 224 pp.
