Synopsis

Were human beings created by powers from outer space? Did extraterrestrial giants build the megaliths of Malta and the menhirs of Brittany? Was the Ark of the Covenant a machine built by the astronaut gods?

In Signs of the Gods? Erich von Däniken travels far and wide around the globe to study the many strange phenomena that all point to one conclusion—that many thousands of years ago, Earth was visited by a race of superhuman powers and intelligence.

The questions he addresses along the way include:

—Why are the religious sites in Greece all laid out in the same geometrical pattern—a pattern which is repeated throughout the world?

—Does the extraordinary longevity of the ancient Sumerian kings mean that the Land of the Two Rivers was ruled by a race of supermen?

—Could the first men have been produced by cloning?

—Do the great ruins of Zimbabwe point to an impossibly detailed knowledge of astronomy?

Erich von Däniken's Chariots of the Gods provoked a worldwide storm of controversy. In Signs of the Gods? he produces powerful arguments to support his theory of astronaut gods, with evidence that is difficult to explain any other way. Hear what he has to say with an open mind—and you may find yourself agreeing with him.

Danken may have been considered a charlatan, but he certainly knew how to get his books sold. Everything was pure conjecture, but convincingly presented and who knows, could SOME of it be true?......more

Goodreads review by Dan on January 08, 2024

The first chapter on the Ark is a very good chapter, then the book oscilates, for instance, the part on Malta he does some descriptions but adds very little as new information, the chapter could be much shorter. He also appears as one of th earliest transhumanists. He does some interesting speculati......more

This author's books make you think. What do aliens have to do with our past, present and possible future. Did they have a hand in creating our world as we know it? For me, a lot of this author's suggestions could be angels that appear as aliens or he could be right and we have been visited from othe......more
