About this listen

Erich von Daniken has exhaustively researched and analyzed the great world religions, their myths and belief structures, in an effort to find an answer to a question that has fascinated humans for millennia: who, or what, were the Gods described in ancient stories? His extraordinary conclusion? The Gods were not metaphysical beings born of humanity's overactive imagination, but extraterrestrials who left traces of their presence everywhere on Earth. The book includes:

  • The suggestion, based on a thorough examination of ancient texts, that alien beings employed high-tech vehicles in epic aerial battles
  • Compelling evidence that the Gods used awesome weapons of mass annihilation, both against themselves and humankind
  • A radical new interpretation of evolution on Earth that contradicts both established religions and modern science

    Great read for forbidden knowledge seekers! There’s always more to learn and uncover. The world we seem to be living in is in fact a simulation and had the author known this at the time of writing this book, he probably would have been able to shed more light on why there’s so much secrecy around everything. But even more importantly, this revelation leaves one to ponder about who we really are and where did we really come from! It’s still a great read though!

    Deeply revealing!

    Interesting read

    The arguments are well presented though I am not entirely convinced. I feel von Daniken has missed something big, not sure what though. Still it's a jolly good read.

    well presented

    Goes well alongside with listening to Zekharia Sitchin’s books, these books should be studied by humans as early as school

    It all makes sence
