Overview

Erich von Däniken 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?

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
