Immediately recognized as a work of monumental importance, Chariots of the Gods endures as proof that Earth has been visited repeatedly by advanced aliens from other worlds. Here, Erich von D©Þniken examines ancient ruins, lost cities, spaceports, and a myriad of hard scientific facts that point to extraterrestrial intervention in human history. Most incredible of all, however, is von D©Þniken's theory that we are the descendants of these galactic pioneersand he reveals the archaeological discoveries that prove it... The dramatic discoveries and irrefutable evidence: an alien astronaut preserved in a pyramid, thousand-year-old spaceflight navigation charts, computer astronomy from Incan and Egyptian ruins, a map of the land beneath the ice cap of Antarctica, and a giant spaceport discovered in the Andes. Includes remarkable photos that document mankind's first contact with aliens at the dawn of civilization.
