Books with author Erich von Daniken

Did you know that the Ancient Greeks had their own take on science fiction? Their stories took place not in the future, but in a fantastical, faraway past, and they believed the events in these stories actually had taken place. Using archaeological research and mining the writings of ancient philosophers, the author posits that the tales associated with Greek mythology are actually legitimate history and that the Greek gods were in fact extraterrestrials. Readers will be awed by these reinterpreted myths and legends, such as a new explanation of Atlantis and the true origin of famous mythical creatures.

Why does he repeatedly criticize the official historiography and our religions and thus accept scorn and hostility?The answers to these questions are: Because Erich von D�niken spoke to people who supported his theories.

And because experts and insiders inaugurated secrets known to only a few people.In this book, the now eighty-one-year-old presents selected eyewitnesses and insiders for the first time, reveals secrets and stories that he has hitherto kept private, and presents reports and revelations that leave one speechless!
